Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a unit comprising a cap and a dispensing body for dispensing substances to a liquid, which unit has the features of the preamble of claim 1. These features are from the document US 2008/223485 A1 known.
  • the dispensing body can be used to deliver a wide variety of substances to a liquid, such as for dispensing flavors to a beverage or dispensing fertilizer to the liquid in a watering can or in a garden hose.
  • Such a dispensing body according to the invention is used to form the unit in a cap of a liquid container to deliver the substances contained in it to that liquid which passes from the liquid container through the cap into the mouth of the drinker.
  • Such a closure cap preferably a screw cap
  • a closure cap can be designed for attachment to a liquid container, preferably to a bottle, more preferably to a PET bottle, wherein the closure cap comprises a pouring spout, preferably recloseable spout opening, and a receiving element which engages with the closure cap common receiving volume forms for receiving the at least one dispensing body.
  • the cap can be opened in the sense, that an access to the recording volume is formed to to be able to bring the at least one dispensing body in the receiving volume or to be able to remove from the receiving volume, wherein the receiving element is permeable to a liquid to allow a contacting of the at least one dispensing body with the liquid.
  • Such caps are for example in the WO 2015/039700 A1 , in the WO 2015/039702 A1 , in the WO 2015/039709 A1 or in the WO 2015/188893 A1 shown.
  • the invention comprises a method for dispensing substances from a dispensing body.
  • Capsules are known, which are filled with substances to be dispensed, wherein a first opening and a second opening are provided opposite to each other and the substances to be dispensed by a machine-pressurized liquid which flows through the capsule at least partially, are conveyed out of the capsule.
  • a cuboid or cube-shaped capsule is known, which is perforated before brewing on two sides, so that the brewing liquid flows under pressure through the capsule.
  • the US 2010/0025282 A1 shows a cube-shaped capsule for aromatic substances, with internals, which extend the communication path between the two opposite openings, wherein by means of the openings liquid is passed through the capsule to produce an aromatized beverage.
  • the US 2006/0065127 A1 shows a coffee capsule with curved walls inside.
  • the generic mentioned at the beginning US 2008/0223485 A1 relates to a capsule in a cap, wherein the capsule has only a single opening at the bottom, which results from piercing and wherein the capsule can be lapped by liquid.
  • drinking bottles In order to be able to take liquid on the way or during sport, drinking bottles, in particular drinking bottles with a cap, are known. Since drinking bottles usually have no facilities that can produce hot or pressurized water, capsules are where liquid through the
  • Capsule must be routed, not applicable for drinking bottles.
  • the bottles usually have threads on which the caps are screwed.
  • the threads are standardized and the number of differently standardized thread of these bottles is low.
  • these bottles can be prefilled, for example with mineral water, which may also be mixed with flavorings, or with an isotonic beverage.
  • they can be bottles which are intended to hold a liquid mixed by the user as desired.
  • in addition to fruit juice syrups are mainly showerheads in powder or tablet form available.
  • a disadvantage in both cases is that the user is fixed on the concrete beverage mixture for the entire consumption period of the beverage, ie between the beginning and the end of the beverage consumption. That he can no longer change the flavor during beverage consumption, since the liquid still present in the bottle has only the flavor once selected.
  • the unit is provided with the features of claim 1. It is provided that the first opening and the second opening are arranged so that when flowing around the capsule with liquid at a first opening a greater flow velocity than at a second opening and that the liquid draws a liquid substance from the capsule by utilizing the dynamic pressure and mixed with this.
  • the capsule shell comprises a plurality of surfaces which are separated from each other by edges at least on the outside of the capsule shell, wherein the first opening and second opening are located on an outer surface, - or that the surface normal of the capsule shell at the location of the first opening encloses an angle with the surface normal of the capsule shell at the location of the second opening, the fillable volume containing substances to be dispensed in the form of a liquid.
  • the first embodiment provides that an outer surface, the by edges of the capsule shell at the Outside is formed, at least one, but also several, in particular all, having first openings.
  • the same outer surface has at least one second opening, but may also have a plurality, in particular also all, second openings.
  • This outer surface may be flat, but also curved.
  • the second embodiment provides - regardless of a subdivision of the outside of the capsule shell into a plurality of outer surfaces - that the surface normal (s) of the first opening (s) forms an angle with the surface normal (s) of the second opening (s). This is not the case when the first and second openings (s) lie on the same flat surface. This is not the case even if the first and second openings (s) face each other, because then coincide the surface normal, as in the US 2010/0154647 A1 or in the US 2010/0025282 A1 is present. Opposing openings are only advantageous if liquid enters the capsule from the outside through an opening, flows through the capsule, absorbs the substances to be dispensed and leaves through the other opening. This is just not desirable in the subject invention.
  • the capsule contains a substance to be dispensed in the form of a liquid.
  • the capsule is also filled in the ready state also usually with a liquid.
  • the capsule uses the pressure difference of a fluid flow or a fluid jet to produce a pumping action, similar to a jet pump.
  • the liquid for example water
  • the liquid which flows past the capsule or flows around the capsule, under the exclusive use of dynamic pressure draws out a liquid substance the capsule and mixes with this.
  • the step of dissolution of the substance in the washing liquid can be dispensed with.
  • a change in the substance to be dispensed into the liquid can be done by replacing the capsule.
  • the dose of the delivered substance depends, in addition to the effective transverse surface and the shape of the openings, almost exclusively on the flow rate of the liquid. Since the capsule is usually used in a cap having a fixed cross-sectional area, no large variations in the flow rate of the liquid are possible and thus no overdosing of the discharged substance.
  • the capsule is based on a similar principle as the Venturi injectors, but with Venturi injectors, both liquids are fed continuously, but the capsule can always provide only a limited amount of substances to be dispensed.
  • the capsule in conjunction with the closure cap for a liquid container but also only a limited amount of circulating liquid is available: the amount of liquid which surrounds the capsule is limited by the volume of the container on which the capsule by means of Cap, is attached.
  • the amount of the liquid to be washed is not limited.
  • one liquid which is located in the capsule, can be dosed into another, moving liquid.
  • the at least one first opening and the at least one second opening are flowed around at different speeds due to their shape and / or their position.
  • the shape of the opening can therefore the flow velocity influence, as the area around the opening can be constructed to promote flow by having approximately a kind of flow channel, for example in the form of depressions in the surface or walls on the surface of the capsule.
  • each constriction leads to faster flow and lower pressure, according to the known operation of a diffuser.
  • the faster-flushed opening discharges liquid from the interior of the capsule to the liquid to be washed, while the slower-circulated opening absorbs flushing liquid.
  • the liquid contained in the capsule is continuously discharged and replaced by the liquid flowing around.
  • first and second openings In order for a pressure difference between the first and second openings to form, the first and second openings must communicate with one another via the fillable volume. There may therefore be no walls in the fillable volume, which separate the first and second openings liquid-tight from each other. As a rule, first and second openings will also be connected via the medium flowing around. But the pressure difference would also form if the pressure equalization port would be connected to the outside air, which would then correspond to the principle of a conventional jet pump.
  • First and second opening (s) of the capsule are prefabricated. You will not, as in the WO 2010/118543 A1 , only when used by perforating the capsule. The perforation would also not be possible with the capsule belonging to the unit according to the invention because the capsule or capsule shell is generally rigid in order to have a defined shape and thus defined flow conditions for the functioning according to the invention sure. A correspondingly rigid or thick wall of the capsule shell can not be easily pierced.

In the case of a plurality of openings, additionally or alternatively, differences in size may exist within the plurality of first openings or within the plurality of second openings.
  • sizes and / or the shape of the openings can be adjusted how fast or how long liquid is discharged from the capsule to the liquid flowing around.
  • Typical diameters of first and second openings for water are in a range of 0.001-3 mm or greater, in particular 0.01-2 mm, more preferably 0.3-1 mm. The diameters are generally dependent on the viscosity of the liquids.
