Description des modes de réalisation préférésDescription of the preferred embodiments
En référence à la figure 1 on illustre à présent un premier mode de réalisation du dispositif verseur conforme à la présente invention. Le dispositif se présente sous la forme d'un cône (11) ayant deux extrémités inférieure et supérieure, respectivement de section étroite et large. La section étroite est destinée à être engagée dans le goulot d'une carafe à décanter comme cela est illustré dans la figure 1 F tandis que l'extrémité supérieure présente une section oblique par rapport à l'axe du cône de manière à permettre un écoulement sans tâche du breuvage tout en assurant une oxygénation de ce dernier.With reference to FIG. 1, a first embodiment of the pouring device according to the present invention will now be illustrated. The device is in the form of a cone (11) having two lower and upper ends, respectively of narrow and wide section. The narrow section is intended to be engaged in the neck of a decanter as shown in Figure 1 F while the upper end has an oblique section relative to to the axis of the cone so as to allow a stain-free flow of the beverage while ensuring oxygenation of the latter.
La section inférieure est par ailleurs obturée et l'extrémité inférieure comporte une série d'orifices 13 judicieusement disposés de manière à assurer un effet deThe lower section is also closed off and the lower end has a series of orifices 13 judiciously arranged so as to ensure an effect of
« douche » lors du versement du vin. Cet effet particulier assure, d'abord un effet particulièrement esthétique mais permet également de renforcer l'oxygénation du vin au fur et à mesure qu'il s'écoule sur les parois internes du cône. Il permet en outre, puisque la section inférieure est obturée, de récupérer les dépôt de vin et les morceaux de bouchon."Shower" when pouring wine. This particular effect ensures, first of all, a particularly aesthetic effect but also makes it possible to reinforce the oxygenation of the wine as it flows on the internal walls of the cone. It also allows, since the lower section is closed, to recover the wine deposit and pieces of cork.
Le cône 13 pourra être réalisé en de multiples matériaux : verre, porcelaine, polyrésine , acriglass...The cone 13 can be made of multiple materials: glass, porcelain, polyresin, acriglass ...
La figure 1C présente une autre élévation du cône et les figures 1 D et 1E illustrent deux perspectives.Figure 1C shows another elevation of the cone and Figures 1D and 1E illustrate two perspectives.
L'on décrit à présent, en référence à la figure 2, un second mode de réalisation d'un dispositif verseur.A second embodiment of a pouring device is now described with reference to FIG.
Le second mode de réalisation comporte un cône 21 similaire au cône de la figure 1 , mais présentant en outre deux dispositions permettant la coopération avec deux autres éléments, respectivement une grille de forme circulaire 22 et un élément pivotant à ailettes 23.The second embodiment comprises a cone 21 similar to the cone of FIG. 1, but also having two arrangements for cooperation with two other elements, respectively a circular-shaped grid 22 and a winged pivoting element 23.
La grille 22 comporte une périphérie circulaire ou elliptique de manière pouvoir venir se bloquer en partie supérieure du cône 21 et permettre la filtration du breuvage avant qu'il ne s'écoule dans la carafe à décanter. La grille 22 présente en outre une forme permettant de décentrer l'écoulement du vin afin que ce dernier s'écoule sur les parois du cône afin d'assurer la rotation de l'élément à ailettes 23.The gate 22 has a circular or elliptical periphery so as to be able to lock in the upper part of the cone 21 and allow filtration of the beverage before it flows into the decanter. The grid 22 furthermore has a shape enabling the flow of the wine to be decentered so that the latter flows on the walls of the cone in order to ensure the rotation of the fin element 23.
L'élément à ailettes 23 vient se positionner, au moyen d'un rainure adaptée par exemple, en partie inférieur du cône, de manière à recevoir l'écoulement du vin au fur et à mesure que celui-ci passe au travers de la grille 22, provoquant la rotation de l'élément à ailette autour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal, à la manière d'une turbine, réalisant ainsi un effet esthétique particulièrement intéressant et une oxygénation supplémentaire du vin.The finned member 23 is positioned, by means of a groove adapted for example, in the lower part of the cone, so as to receive the flow of the wine as it passes through the grate 22, causing the rotation of the fin element around a substantially horizontal axis, in the manner of a turbine, thus achieving a particularly attractive aesthetic effect and additional oxygenation of the wine.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, on vient ajouter à l'effet esthétique un effet d'oxydo réduction calibré sur le vin qui s'écoule, et ce au moyen d'un allliage judicieusement choisi (non représenté sur les figures), assurant une oxydo réduction parfaitement maîtrisée pour provoquer une évolution des qualités gustative du vins semblable à un vieillissement de quelques années en cave.In a particular embodiment, there is added to the aesthetic effect a calibrated oxidation reduction effect on the wine that flows, and this by means of a suitably selected alloy (not shown in the figures), ensuring oxydo reduction perfectly controlled to cause a change in taste qualities of wines similar to an aging cellar for a few years.
A cet effet, on réalise la grille 22 ou l'élément à ailette 23 au moyen d'un alliage spécifique tel que décrit dans le brevet européen EP 1405903, délivré le 14 Mai 2008 et intitulé «Procédé de traitement d'un vin à l'aide d'un alliage de cuiyre, d'or et d'argent, de mesure de l'aptitude au vieillissement et dispositif pour la mise en oeuyre du procédé » , lequel montre que l'on peut utiliser un élément d'alliage donné - cuivre , or et argent , permettant de réaliser un effet équivalent à un vieillissement du vin en cave.For this purpose, the grid 22 or fin element 23 is produced by means of a specific alloy as described in European Patent EP 1405903, issued on May 14, 2008 and entitled "Process for the treatment of a wine with water". using a alloy of copper, gold and silver, measuring the aptitude for aging and device for the implementation of the process ", which shows that it is possible to use a given alloying element - copper, gold and silver, making it possible to achieve an effect equivalent to aging the wine in the cellar.
Plus spécifiquement, les éléments de cuivre et d'argent vont capter l'élément souffre, à l'état de sulfure ou de sulfite présent dans le vin de manière à provoquer la libération de l'élément souffre et, par conséquent, provoquer la libération des arômes du vin. Les trois éléments de l'alliage agissent de concert, et leurs effets se renforcent mutuellement en assurant la libération des arômes semblable à celle résultant d'un vieillissement du vin en cave.More specifically, the elements of copper and silver will capture the sulfur element, in the state of sulphide or sulphite present in the wine so as to cause the release of the sulfur element and, consequently, cause the release aromas of the wine. The three elements of the alloy act in concert, and their effects reinforce each other by ensuring the release of aromas similar to that resulting from an aging wine cellar.
Plus spécifiquement, on peut recourir à un élément d'alliage de surface déterminée, disposée par exemple sur une ou plusieurs ailettes de l'élément 23 et composée d'un alliage de trois métaux tel que le cuivre, l'or et l'argent. De préférence, l'élément d'alliage se présente sous la forme d'une pastille circulaire présentant une composition de cuivre entre 60 et 99.9 %, d'argent entre 0.05% et 20% et d'or entre 0.05% et 20%. La pastille présente un diamètre judicieusement choisi pour assurer un effet d'oxydo-réduction parfaitement maîtrisée durant le temps d'écoulement du vin sur les ailettes de l'élément 23. Le reste de l'élément à ailettes 23 pourra être réalisé en inox amagnétique poli brillant, en verre, en résine, en acriglass ...More specifically, it is possible to use a specific surface alloying element, arranged for example on one or more fins of element 23 and composed of an alloy of three metals such as copper, gold and silver. . Preferably, the alloying element is in the form of a circular pellet having a copper composition between 60 and 99.9%, silver between 0.05% and 20% and gold between 0.05% and 20%. The pellet has a diameter judiciously chosen to ensure a perfectly controlled oxidation-reduction effect during the wine flow time on the fins of the element 23. The rest of the finned element 23 can be made of polished non-magnetic amagnetic stainless steel, glass, resin, acriglass ...
De manière plus générale, on notera que l'on pourra substituer tout alliage, ou combinaison d'alliages et de métaux présentant un effet oxydant mesuré sur le vin de manière à assurer un effet de vieillissement équivalent à celui obtenu par l'enseignement du brevet ci-dessus. On rappelle en effet, comme cela est connu d'un homme du métier que le vin naît d'un phénomène de réduction et qu'une réaction d'oxydo réduction mesurée a des effets les liaisons moléculaires entre les éléments constitutifs du vin, l'élément réducteur le plus fort étant H2S. Par conséquent, en choisissant judicieusement une combinaison de métaux ou d'alliages , on peut aller interférer au cœur des liaisons électroniques des composés élémentaires constitutifs du vin et provoquer une maturation, un « vieillissement » contrôlé.More generally, it will be noted that any alloy or combination of alloys and metals having an oxidizing effect measured on the wine may be substituted so as to ensure an aging effect equivalent to that obtained by the teaching of the patent. above. Indeed, as is known to a person skilled in the art, the wine is born of a reduction phenomenon and a measured oxidation-reduction reaction has effects on the molecular bonds between the constituent elements of the wine. The strongest reducing element being H 2 S. Therefore, by judiciously choosing a combination of metals or alloys, it is possible to interfere with the core of the electronic bonds of the constituent elemental compounds of the wine and to cause a maturation, a controlled "aging" .
Comme on va le voir dans les figures suivantes, la présente invention permet de réaliser une manière particulièrement commode, ludique et esthétique pour assurer la mise en contact du vin avec des composés oxydo-réducteurs.As will be seen in the following figures, the present invention makes it possible to achieve a particularly convenient, playful and aesthetic manner to ensure the contact of the wine with redox compounds.
La figure 3 illustre une vue en perspective du second mode de réalisation du cône verseur, tandis que la figure 4 présente une vue du dessus faisant apparaître deux plans de coupes , respectivement A-A et B-B, qui sont illustrées, en figures 4A et 4B.Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of the second embodiment of the pouring cone, while Figure 4 shows a top view showing two sectional planes, respectively A-A and B-B, which are illustrated in Figures 4A and 4B.
La figure 4A présente en outre un exemple de dimensionnement du dispositif verseur, comportant un cône présentant une hauteur d'environ 270 mm ayant une extrémité inférieure avec un diamètre de 11 mm et une section supérieure présentant un diamètre de 100mm. La grille 22 est située à environ 70 du point le plus élevé de l'extrémité supérieure tandis que l'élément à ailettes est située à environ 100 mm plus bas .FIG. 4A also presents an example of sizing of the pouring device, comprising a cone having a height of approximately 270 mm having a lower end with a diameter of 11 mm and an upper section having a diameter of 100 mm. The gate 22 is located about 70 from the highest point of the upper end while the fin element is located about 100 mm below.
D'une manière générale, on pourra dimensionner l'élément à ailettes ainsi que le nombre d'ailettes de celui-ci en fonction de l'effet d'oxydation recherché. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'élément à ailettes 23 comportant un axe de rotation qui pourra être inséré à l'intérieur d'un rainurage vertical le long du cône, de manière à venir guider l'élément dans sa position de fonctionnement idéale... Alternativement, l'axe de l'élément 23 vient simplement glisser le long de la paroi du cône 21 jusqu'à ce que ce dernier prenne un place en « suspension » au sein de ce dernier.In a general manner, it will be possible to size the finned element as well as the number of fins thereof as a function of the desired oxidation effect. In one embodiment, the fin member 23 has an axis of rotation that can be inserted within a vertical groove along the cone, so as to guide the element in its ideal operating position. .. Alternatively, the axis of the element 23 just slide along the wall of the cone 21 until the latter takes a place in "suspension" within the latter.
On peut ainsi changer très simplement l'élément à ailettes de manière à permettre différents effets d'oxydo-réduction parfaitement calibrés.It is thus possible to very simply change the finned element so as to allow different perfectly calibrated oxidation-reduction effects.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le dispositif verseur 21 est conçu de manière à coopérer avec un jeu d'ailettes amovibles présentant des pouvoirs d'oxydation différents assurant ainsi des effets de maturité distincts. Alternativement, on pourra prévoir un élément 23 comportant des ailettes amovibles, ou en queue d'arondes. On observera que les ailettes contribuent tout particulièrement à la ventilation et à l'oxygénation du vin s'écoulant par le dispositif.In a particular embodiment, the pouring device 21 is designed to cooperate with a set of removable fins with different oxidation powers thus ensuring distinct maturity effects. Alternatively, there may be provided an element 23 having removable fins, or dovetail. It will be observed that the fins contribute particularly to the ventilation and oxygenation of wine flowing through the device.
La figure 5 illustre un troisième mode de réalisation d'un dispositif verseur destinée à venir se positionner sur le goulot d'une bouteille pour servir le vin tout en assurant une parfaite oxygénation.Figure 5 illustrates a third embodiment of a pouring device intended to be positioned on the neck of a bottle to serve wine while ensuring perfect oxygenation.
Le dispositif se présente sous la forme d'un corps 51 de forme cylindrique comportant, dans sa partie supérieure, un premier élément cylindrique creux 52 avec une extrémité droite (de section perpendiculaire à l'axe du cylindre). Le cylindre 52 est destiné à recevoir un capuchon 54 également creux. L'ensemble capuchon-cylindre est destiné à permettre la fixation du dispositif sur le goulot d'une bouteille de manière à le fixer fermement pendant le service du vin.The device is in the form of a body 51 of cylindrical shape having, in its upper part, a first hollow cylindrical member 52 with a straight end (of section perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder). The cylinder 52 is intended to receive a cap 54 also hollow. The cap-cylinder assembly is intended to allow the attachment of the device on the neck of a bottle so as to fix it firmly during the service of the wine.
Le corps 51 comporte également, dans sa partie inférieure, un second élément cylindrique creux 53 présentant une extrémité oblique afin de réaliser une forme de « bec verseur ».The body 51 also has, in its lower part, a second hollow cylindrical element 53 having an oblique end in order to achieve a "pouring spout" shape.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le second élément cylindrique présente une double section interne de manière à réaliser une butée 57 (visible sur la figure 6A) permettant de venir bloquer positionner un élément à ailettes 55 fixé par rondelle 56 assurant la libre rotation des ailettes autour de leur axe de rotation durant l'écoulement du vin.In a particular embodiment, the second cylindrical element has a double internal section so as to make a stop 57 (visible on Figure 6A) for coming to block position a fin element 55 fixed by washer 56 ensuring the free rotation of the fins around their axis of rotation during the flow of the wine.
La figure 6 illustre une vue de dessus du troisième mode de réalisation, en faisant apparaître deux plans de coupe A-A et B-B qui sont respectivement illustrés en figure 6A et 6B.Figure 6 illustrates a top view of the third embodiment, showing two sectional planes A-A and B-B which are respectively illustrated in Figure 6A and 6B.
Comme on le voit, on réalise ainsi très simplement un dispositif verseur présentant un élément mobile avec l'écoulement du vin.As can be seen, a pouring device with a mobile element with the flow of the wine is thus very simply produced.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, on implante sur les ailettes de l'élément 55 un jeu de pastille décrite dans le brevet n° EP 1405903 précité, afin de réaliser un vieillissement calibré du vin au moment où on le sert. In a particular embodiment, is implanted on the fins of the element 55 a set of chips described in the patent EP 1405903 cited above, in order to achieve a calibrated aging of the wine at the time it is used.
