Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooling device for liquids in containers, in particular drinks in bottles, with the preamble features of claim 1, from the JP 2001/048244 are known.
  • a discharge opening for pouring the liquid is shown, but only a relatively small. Flow is likely to reach.
  • cooling containers made of clay or other porous material which are inserted into water and then release the stored water in them, whereby evaporation cooling is generated, which in turn cools the set beverage bottles.
  • double-walled cooling containers are known in which a certain air gap between the container walls, so that an insulating effect occurs.
  • a similar principle is also achieved for example by sleeves made of an insulating material.
  • such cooling containers only cause the already existing temperature, eg. B. the wine bottle is held; a cooling down is not possible.
  • cooling containers had numerous disadvantages. So they take away a relatively large amount of space, which is disadvantageous for example when stored. Especially in restaurants must then stored some of these cooling tanks and be kept. Furthermore, depending on the size of the container, different cooling containers are needed; For example, a champagne bottle usually does not fit in a wine cooler. From the WO 98/30848 Finally, a device is known with which liquids can be cooled. This device comprises an adsorbent into which gas is introduced under pressure and whose temperature is reduced by releasing the gas. This chiller is placed in a beverage can during their manufacture and sealed with this.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a cooling device for liquids in containers, in particular drinks in bottles, with which the liquid can be cooled or which at least maintains the temperature of the cooled liquid over a certain period of time.
  • the cooling device should be applicable to a wide range of containers and they should be as space-saving storage.
  • the inventive cooling device for liquids in containers has a hollow body which is filled with a coolant and which is insertable into the container.
  • a coolant In the cooling device according to the invention, this is introduced into the bottle itself.
  • the liquid is brought directly into contact with the cooling device and not, as in the common containers through the bottle wall.
  • the direct contact of the liquid with the cooling device increases the cooling efficiency.
  • the cooling device according to the invention is comparatively small; it fits through the opening of the liquid container, for example through the neck of a wine bottle. As a result, it takes up very little space during storage.
  • a discharge opening is connected, via which the liquid in the container can be passed through.
  • the cooling device according to the invention can always remain in the bottle and must not be removed, for example, when pouring the beverage.
  • the beverage is passed through the cooling device and brought outside to be poured.
  • a so-called gift cone is provided.
  • This has a conical shape with friction-increasing means, in particular a kauringkekegel, whereby the cooling device is adaptable to different container opening sizes.
  • the hollow body may also be designed conical and holding devices in the form of rubber rings or the like.
  • the cooling device in the container opening additionally fixed and protrudes with its end into the liquid.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 show a cooling device 1 according to the invention, wherein in the drawing of the Fig. 1 the lid 40 has been omitted.
  • the cooling device 1 is composed of a hollow body 10 which is filled with coolant.
  • the hollow body 10 is provided with a closure cap 20, which closes the hollow body 10 and which can be removed, for example, to renew the coolant.
  • Connected to the hollow body is a pouring cone 50.
  • the pouring cone 50 has a conical shape and fixes the cooling device 1, for example, in a wine bottle.
  • the pouring cone 50 has on its outside friction-increasing means 51, in particular made of rubber, preferably in the form of a ring cone.
  • Inside the pouring cone 50 is a vent tube 30.
  • the vent tube 30 is supplied with liquid via an opening 31.
  • the liquid is then led outside via the interior of the vent tube 30 and leaves the vent tube 30 and thus the liquid container At the dispensing opening 58.
  • a lid 40 can be placed on the pouring cone 50 and on the venting tube 30, which closes the dispensing opening 58 and thus protects the liquid present in the container from harmful influences.
  • the hollow body 10 and the closure cap 20 around a sheath 5 may be provided, in particular made of stainless steel. This has a certain protective function, since it protects the hollow body 10 against damage and also prevents inadvertent release of the closure cap 20. On the other hand, it has a certain protective function for the liquid, since if unintentionally coolant should escape from the hollow body 10, this does not come into contact with the liquid, but remains in the enclosure 5.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 show the Schenkkegel 50 in different representations.
  • the pouring cone 50 is a hollow body having a conical shape.
  • the pouring cone 50 has two ends 54 and 56 on. The lower end 56 is brought into contact with the hollow body 10 via the thread 53.
  • On the upper end 54 of the lid 40 is placed and this is also the outlet of the vent tube 30.
  • the upper end 54 also represents the discharge port 58 through which the discharge of the liquid.
  • the pouring cone 50, the openings 52, via which the liquid enters the interior of the Schenkkegels 50 and the discharge opening 58 is supplied.
  • depressions 55 may be provided on the example, a rubber ring can be mounted.
  • the ventilation tube 30 is provided inside the Schenkkegels 50.
  • the vent tube 30 and the pouring cone 50 are adapted to leave enough space around the vent tube 30 so that the liquid from the container can be delivered to the dispensing opening 58.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show the vent tube 30. It has a lower end 32 to which a thread 34 may be provided, via which the vent tube 30 is connected to the Schenkkegel 50.
  • the ventilation tube 30 has an opening 31 through which air is supplied to the liquid. This is important when removing the liquid from the container, since without venting the removal would come or uncontrolled air would be supplied via the discharge opening 58 and the openings 52 of the Schenkkegels 50.
  • the upper end of the vent tube 30 is designed as an air supply opening 33.
  • the air supply opening 33 is located outside the container and is preferably above the upper end 54 of the tipping cone and thus the discharge opening 58, as in Fig. 1 seen.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show a lid 40, with both the discharge port 58 and the air supply port 33 can be closed.
  • the lid 40 is placed on the upper end 54 of the Schenkkegels 50.
  • the lid 40 has a recess 41 into which the upper end of the ventilation tube 30 can be inserted.
  • the discharge opening 58 is closed by a corresponding fit 42 and the projection 43 is seated on the edge of the upper end 54 of the tipping cone 50.
  • the lid 30 may be designed arbitrarily, for. Example, be provided with a ball 44, which has both visual and functional function, yet it serves as a knob and handle for removing and placing the lid 40 on the cooling device first
  • the FIGS. 10 to 13 show on the one hand the hollow body 10 and on the other the closure cap 20, with which the hollow body 10 can be closed.
  • the hollow body 10 is a hollow tube, in the interior of which a coolant is introduced.
  • a coolant any known coolant can be used, for example glycol. If the cooling device according to the invention is to be used for foodstuffs, for example as a wine or champagne cooler, it is preferred to use a food-grade coolant.
  • the hollow body 10 is closed at its upper end 11 and has at its lower end 12 an opening through which the coolant can be introduced and removed.
  • a thread 13 is preferably attached, into which a correspondingly designed mating thread 23 of the closure cap 20 can be screwed.
  • closure cap 20 may for example also be provided a seat fit via a frictional engagement.
  • the closure cap 20 is preferably made of a somewhat resilient material, such as a plastic material, to achieve a good seal. Alternatively, a seal may also be provided in addition.
  • the cooling device according to the invention is preferably made of stainless steel, glass, ceramic or porcelain. At the appropriate places then seals or friction-increasing agents can be applied.
  • the dimensions and dimensions of the cooling device 1 according to the invention are determined by the field of application.
  • the cooling device 1 of the invention has a rod-like shape, such as from the Figures 1 and 2 it can be seen, which can be placed in a simple manner in a refrigeration compartment before the cooling process in the bottle in order to obtain the desired cooling temperature.
