Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kühlvorrichtung für Flüssigkeiten in Behältern, insbesondere Getränke in Flaschen.The invention relates to a cooling device for liquids in containers, especially bottled drinks.

Für die Kühlung von Flüssigkeiten in Behältern, beispielsweise Getränken in Flaschen, gibt es unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten. Zum einen ist es möglich, die Getränkeflasche im Kühlschrank oder dem kühlen Keller aufzubewahren und sofort zu konsumieren. Gerade bei Weißwein, Sekt oder anderen alkoholischen Getränken, die über einen gewissen Zeitraum konsumiert werden und die gerne in einem gekühlten Zustand genossen werden, ist die Kühlung lediglich im Kühlschrank unzureichend bzw. nicht zufriedenstellend. Aus diesem Grund sind Behälter bekannt, in die die bereits vorgekühlte Getränkeflasche eingestellt wird und die dann auf dem Tisch oder an einer anderen Stelle aufgestellt wird. Die Kühlung der Getränkeflasche erfolgt dabei je nach angewendetem Prinzip auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise. So sind Kühlbehälter bekannt, bei denen die Kühlung durch eingefülltes Eis erfolgt; als Beispiel sei der bekannte Sektkübel genannt. Weiterhin sind Kühlbehälter aus Ton oder anderem porösem Material bekannt, die in Wasser eingelegt werden und die dann das in ihnen gespeicherte Wasser abgeben, wodurch Verdunstungskälte erzeugt wird, die wiederum die eingestellten Getränkeflaschen kühlt. Ferner sind doppelwandige Kühlbehälter bekannt, bei denen ein gewisser Luftzwischenraum zwischen den Behälterwänden besteht, so dass eine Isolierwirkung auftritt. Ein ähnliches Prinzip wird auch beispielsweise durch Manschetten aus einem Isolationsstoff erzielt. Derartige Kühlbehälter bewirken jedoch lediglich, dass die schon vorhandene Temperatur, z. B. der Weinflasche gehalten wird; eine Herunterkühlen ist damit nicht möglich.For the cooling of liquids in containers, for example drinks in Bottles, there are different options. For one thing, it is possible to Keep the beverage bottle in the fridge or cool cellar and immediately to consume. Especially with white wine, sparkling wine or other alcoholic beverages, that are consumed over a period of time and that like to be in one cooled state can be enjoyed, cooling is only in the refrigerator insufficient or unsatisfactory. For this reason, containers are known in which the pre-cooled beverage bottle is placed and then on the Table or somewhere else. The cooling of the beverage bottle takes place in different ways depending on the principle applied. So cooling containers are known in which the cooling is carried out by filled ice; as The well-known champagne bucket is an example. Furthermore, cooling containers are made of clay or other porous material known to be placed in water and the then release the water stored in them, causing evaporative cooling is generated, which in turn cools the set beverage bottles. Furthermore are double-walled cooling containers known, in which a certain air gap exists between the container walls, so that an insulating effect occurs. On Similar principle is also used, for example, by cuffs from one Insulation material achieved. However, such cooling containers only cause the already existing temperature, e.g. B. the wine bottle is held; a It is not possible to cool it down.

Weiterhin kann in einem solchen doppelwandigem Behälter auch Kühlmittel eingefüllt sein, wie beispielsweise aus der US 6,357,253 bekannt. Die bekannten Kühlbehälter wiesen zahlreiche Nachteile auf. So nehmen sie zum einen relativ viel Platz weg, was beispielsweise bei deren Lagerung nachteilig ist. Vor allem in Gaststättenbetrieben müssen dann etliche dieser Kühlbehälter gelagert und aufbewahrt werden. Weiterhin werden je nach Behältergröße unterschiedliche Kühlbehälter benötigt; so passt beispielsweise eine Sektflasche gewöhnlich nicht in einen Weinkühler. Aus der WO 98/30848 ist schließlich eine Vorrichtung bekannt, mit der Flüssigkeiten gekühlt werden können. Diese Vorrichtung weist ein Adsorptionsmittel auf, in das unter Druck Gas eingebracht wird und dessen Temperatur reduziert wird, indem das Gas entlassen wird. Dieser Kühlapparat wird in eine Getränkedose bei deren Herstellung eingebracht und mit dieser versiegelt. Beim Öffnen der Getränkedose, beispielsweise mittels des üblichen Ringverschlusses, wird das Gas entlassen und somit das Getränk gekühlt. Diese Vorrichtung bringt den Nachteil mit sich, dass sie zum einen nur einmal verwendet werden kann, da sie durch das Öffnen der Getränkedose "zerstört" wird. Ferner wird das Adsorptionsmittel und die Kühlvorrichtung mit der Getränkedose dem Müll zugeführt, was aus ökologischen Gründen inakzeptabel ist.Furthermore, coolant can also be filled in such a double-walled container be, as known for example from US 6,357,253. The well-known coolers had numerous disadvantages. So on the one hand they take up a lot of space, which is disadvantageous for example when storing them. Especially in Catering establishments must then store and store a number of these cooling containers be kept. Furthermore, they vary depending on the container size Cooling container needed; for example, a champagne bottle usually doesn't fit in a wine cooler. Finally, a device is known from WO 98/30848 of liquids can be cooled. This device has one Adsorbent in which gas is introduced under pressure and its Temperature is reduced by releasing the gas. This refrigerator is in introduced and sealed a beverage can during its manufacture. At the Opening the beverage can, for example by means of the usual ring closure, the gas is released and the drink is cooled. This device brings the Disadvantage with it that it can only be used once because it is "destroyed" by opening the beverage can. Furthermore, the adsorbent and the cooling device with the beverage can fed to the garbage, what from ecological reasons is unacceptable.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Kühlvorrichtung für Flüssigkeiten in Behältern, insbesondere Getränke in Flaschen bereitzustellen, mit der die Flüssigkeit gekühlt werden kann bzw. die zumindest die Temperatur der gekühlten Flüssigkeit über einen gewissen Zeitraum hält. Die Kühlvorrichtung soll für ein breites Spektrum an Behältern anwendbar sein und sie soll möglichst platzsparend zu lagern sein.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a cooling device for Providing liquids in containers, in particular drinks in bottles, with of the liquid can be cooled or at least the temperature of the cooled liquid for a certain period of time. The cooling device is intended for a wide range of containers can be used and they should be as possible to be space-saving.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Kühlvorrichtung nach Anspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a cooling device according to claim 1. Advantageous Refinements are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Kühlvorrichtung für Flüssigkeiten in Behältern, insbesondere Getränken in Flaschen, weist einen Hohlkörper auf, der mit einem Kühlmittel gefüllt ist und der in den Behälter einführbar ist. Im Gegensatz zu den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Kühlbehältern, in die die Flasche eingestellt wird, wird bei der erfindungsgemäßen Kühlvorrichtung diese in die Flasche selber eingebracht. Anders als bei den bekannten Kühlbehältern wird somit die Flüssigkeit unmittelbar in Kontakt mit der Kühlvorrichtung gebracht und nicht, wie bei den gängigen Behältern durch die Flaschenwand hindurch. Durch den direkten Kontakt der Flüssigkeit mit der Kühlvorrichtung wird die Effizienz der Kühlung erhöht. Im Gegensatz zu der aus der WO 98/30848 bekannten Kühlvorrichtung, ist die erfindungsgemäße Kühlvorrichtung jedoch beliebig oft zu verwenden und völlig unabhängig vom Herstellungsprozess des Flüssigkeitsbehälters und auch des Abfüllprozesses der Flüssigkeit. Überdies ist die erfindungsgemäße Kühlvorrichtung vergleichsweise klein; sie passt durch die Öffnung des Flüssigkeitsbehälters, beispielsweise durch den Hals einer Weinflasche. Dadurch nimmt sie bei der Aufbewahrung nur sehr wenig Platz ein.The cooling device according to the invention for liquids in containers, in particular Bottled drinks have a hollow body that is filled with a coolant is and which is insertable into the container. In contrast to those from the prior art Known cooling containers, in which the bottle is placed, is used in the Cooling device according to the invention introduced this into the bottle itself. Different as in the known cooling containers, the liquid is thus in direct contact brought with the cooling device and not, as with the usual containers by the Through the bottle wall. Due to the direct contact of the liquid with the Cooling device increases the efficiency of cooling. In contrast to that from the Cooling device known from WO 98/30848 is the cooling device according to the invention however, can be used as often as required and is completely independent of the manufacturing process of the liquid container and also the filling process of the liquid. Moreover, is the cooling device according to the invention is comparatively small; it fits through Opening the liquid container, for example through the neck of a wine bottle. This means that it takes up very little space when it is stored.

Zudem ist vorgesehen, dass mit der Kühlvorrichtung eine Abgabeöffnung verbunden ist, über die die in dem Behälter befindliche Flüssigkeit hindurch geführt werden kann. Somit kann die erfindungsgemäße Kühlvorrichtung stets in der Flasche verbleiben und muss beispielsweise beim Einschenken des Getränkes nicht entfernt werden. So wird das Getränk durch die Kühlvorrichtung hindurchgeführt und nach außen gebracht, um eingegossen zu werden. Hierfür ist ein sogenannter Schenkkegel vorgesehen. Dieser weist eine konische Form mit reibungserhöhenden Mitteln, insbesondere einen Gummiringkegel auf, wodurch die Kühlvorrichtung an unterschiedliche Behälteröffnungsgrößen anpassbar ist. Es handelt sich bei dem Schenkkegel um einen teils durchbrochenen Hohlkörper, d. h. ein Hohlkörper, der Öffnungen aufweist. Durch diese Öffnungen wird die Flüssigkeit hindurchgeführt und an der Oberseite des Schenkkegels durch eine erneute Öffnung abgeführt. Der Schenkkegel ist somit in die Behälteröffnung einführbar und auch in dieser mit dem konisch ausgebildeten Gummiring sicher fixierbar.It is also provided that a discharge opening is connected to the cooling device over which the liquid in the container is passed can. Thus, the cooling device according to the invention can always be in the bottle remain and does not have to be removed, for example, when pouring the beverage become. In this way, the beverage is passed through the cooling device and after brought outside to be poured. For this is a so-called Leg cone provided. This has a conical shape with friction increasing Means, in particular a rubber ring cone, causing the cooling device different container opening sizes is customizable. It is the Cone around a partially perforated hollow body, d. H. a hollow body that Has openings. The liquid is passed through these openings and at the top of the cone through a new opening. The Schenkkegel is thus insertable into the container opening and in this with the Conical rubber ring securely fixable.

Im bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel erfolgt über die Fixierung des Schenkkegels auch die Fixierung des Elementes der Kühlvorrichtung in dem Flüssigkeitsbehälter, in dem das Kühlmittel enthalten ist. Weiter ist bevorzugt, dass ein sogenanntes Belüftungsrohr vorhanden ist. Dabei handelt es sich um ein hohles Rohr mit zumindest einer seitlichen Öffnung, das in den Schenkkegel einführbar ist und über das die Flüssigkeit geführt wird. Somit ermöglicht der Schenkkegel die Anpassung an die Größe der Behälteröffnung und das Belüftungsrohr die Entnahme der Flüssigkeit durch den Schenkkegel hindurch. Es sei jedoch darauf hingewiesen, dass es sich bei dem Belüftungsrohr um ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel handelt. Grundsätzlich ist für die Ausführung der Erfindung die oben beschriebene Kühlvorrichtung ausreichend. Zur Fixierung dieser in dem Flüssigkeitsbehälter kann der Hohlkörper ebenfalls konisch gestaltet sein und Haltevorrichtungen in Form von Gummiringen oder ähnlichem aufweisen. Dadurch wird die Kühlvorrichtung in der Behälteröffnung zusätzlich fixiert und ragt mit seinem Ende in die Flüssigkeit ein. Somit ist die Kühlvorrichtung für unterschiedlichste Behältergrößen anwendbar und platzsparend zu lagern.In the preferred embodiment, the leg cone is fixed also the fixation of the element of the cooling device in the liquid container, in which contains the coolant. It is further preferred that a so-called Aeration pipe is available. It is a hollow tube with at least one lateral opening that can be inserted into the cone and over that the liquid is carried. Thus, the cone allows adaptation to the size of the container opening and the ventilation pipe the removal of the liquid through the cone. However, it should be noted that it is the ventilation pipe is a preferred embodiment. in principle is the cooling device described above for carrying out the invention sufficient. The hollow body can be used to fix these in the liquid container also be designed conically and holding devices in the form of rubber rings or the like. This will place the cooling device in the container opening additionally fixed and protrudes into the liquid with its end. So that is Cooling device can be used for a wide variety of container sizes and saves space to store.
