Abstract

Gezeigt wird eine Vorrichtung zum Begasen, insbesondere Karbonisieren, einer Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Wasser, wobei der Flüssigkeit Zusatzstoffe, insbesondere Aromen, Farbstoffe oder Süßungsmittel, insbesondere in konzentrierter Form, zugesetzt sein können, wobei die Flüssigkeit sich in einem Behälter, insbesondere einer Flasche (15), befindet, mit einem Kopf, der dichtend, aber mit definierter Entlüftung, mit dem Behälter (15) verbindbar ist und allein von diesem getragen wird, wobei der Kopf zumindest eine Aufnahme (2) mit Öffnungsvorrichtung (22-25) für einen Druckgasbehälter (1) aufweist und das im Druckgasbehälter (1) enthaltene Druckgas durch den Kopf in den Behälter (15) überführbar ist.Shown is a device for gassing, in particular carbonizing, a liquid, in particular water, wherein the liquid additives, in particular flavors, dyes or sweeteners, in particular in concentrated form may be added, wherein the liquid is in a container, in particular a bottle (15 ), with a head which is sealingly but with defined vent, with the container (15) is connectable and is supported solely by the latter, wherein the head at least one receptacle (2) with opening device (22-25) for a compressed gas container (1) and in the compressed gas container (1) contained compressed gas through the head into the container (15) can be transferred.

Dabei wird vorgesehen, dass Aufnahme (2) und Öffnungsvorrichtung (22-25) so im Kopf angeordnet sind, dass ein in die Vorrichtung eingelegter Druckgasbehälter (1) durch das dichte Verbinden des Kopfes mit dem Behälter (15) geöffnet wird.It is provided that receptacle (2) and opening device (22-25) are arranged in the head so that an inserted into the device compressed gas container (1) by the tight connection of the head with the container (15) is opened.

Diese Vorrichtung ist platzsparend und stellt mit möglichst wenigen Schritten sowohl die Verbindung zu einem Behälter, insbesondere einer Flasche, als auch das Begasen der Flüssigkeit sicher.
