Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ejector assembly of the contents of a bottle containing an effervescent liquid such as Champagne and a seal shutter-diffuser adapted for said set.
- Champagne is traditionally part of the world of celebration and celebration. It is usually done by partially closing the neck of an open bottle of Champagne (or any other effervescent liquid) with the thumb in such a way as to "pinch” the area of the neck that has remained open so that the bottle is suddenly shaken with the two hands (more rarely only one), the internal pressure of the bottle causes the ejection of a jet of liquid whose length and width will depend on the size and shape of the neck area left open as well as the force of "shaking".
- the Applicant has the problem of proposing a playful accessory that reproduces the traditional watering game based on a bottle of Champagne (or any other effervescent liquid) while taking again the forms and codes of a weapon such as a submachine gun to make this watering game even more festive, safe and fun.
- the present invention provides a solution to this problem.
- It relates to an ejector assembly of the contents of a bottle containing an effervescent liquid.
- the ejector assembly comprises: a shutter-diffuser seal provided with at least one diffusion opening and adapted to be clamped elastically around the neck of the bottle when said bottle is uncorked and placed in the ejection position, and suitable for closing the neck of the bottle when said seal shutter-diffuser is thus clamped, and at least a first portion forming in hand, integral with the seal shutter-diffuser, and comprising first means of holding in
- the first hand-held portion further comprises first interlocking means
- said assembly further comprises a second hand-held portion and equipped with second interlocking means adapted to to fit with the first interlocking means when the bottle is placed in the ejection position and second holding means secured to the second interlocking means, said assembly making it possible to produce a jet of effervescent liquid of size, duration and selected distances, under agitation by a user of the first and / or second hand held parts and nested one into the other.
- the ejector assembly thus allows to insert and securely hold a bottle while sealing the closure at the neck, and the ejection of the liquid in a jet of distance of several meters (5 m for example) for a duration of several seconds (10 seconds for example) and without danger for the user and the people around.
- the shutter-diffuser seal is made in one piece and flexible elastomer type material.
- the shutter-diffuser seal comprises a mounting portion adapted to be clamped elastically around the neck of the bottle in the ejection position after unclogging said bottle, and a shutter / diffusion portion adapted to close the bottleneck of the bottle placed in the ejection position.
- the seal comprises a plurality of diffusion openings.
- the first part forming a hand-held device further comprises clamping means for maintaining tight and sealed mounting of the seal shutter-diffuser around the neck of the bottle in the ejection position.
- the second hand-holding portion further comprises means for holding the body of the bottle in the ejection position.
- the first interlocking means comprise a tube of selected length and diameter while the second interlocking means comprise a reinforcing rod of form conjugated with the tube to fit into each other when the bottle is in the ejection position.
- the first interlocking means are secured to the first holding means while the second interlocking means are integral with the second holding means in hand.
- the first and second holding means in hand are shaped like a butt.
- the present invention also relates to a seal shutter-diffuser adapted for the ejector assembly according to the invention.
- said seal is able to be clamped elastically around the neck of the bottle in the ejection position after unclogging of said bottle, and adapted to close the neck of the bottle placed in the ejection position, said seal being provided with at least one diffusion aperture.
- Figure 1 is a general 3D view of the ejector assembly in closed position with a bottle in place;
- FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the main elements constituting the ejector assembly according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of the ejector assembly in closed position with a bottle in place
- FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C are detailed views of the shutter-diffuser seal according to the invention.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the step of closing the ejector assembly on the bottle
- FIG. 6 schematically illustrates the nesting slides housed in the first hand-held part according to the invention.
- Figure 7 is a sectional view of the ejector assembly in the closed position.
- the ejector assembly 1 comprises a seal shutter-diffuser 2, and at least a first portion 4 forming a hand held integral with the seal shutter-diffuser 2 (mode with a taken with one hand).
- the ejector assembly further comprises a second portion 10 forming a hand which fits into the first hand held portion 4 in the closed position when a bottle 3 is in place (mode with a two-handed grip).
- the bottle 3 contains effervescent liquid such as Champagne.
- the capacity of the bottle 3 may be 25 cl; 33 cl; 37.5 cl; 75 cl; 150cl or more.
- the seal 2 is adapted to be clamped elastically around the neck 5 of a bottle 3 placed in the ejection position after unclogging said bottle. The seal 2 then closes the neck 7 of the bottle 3 and placed in the ejection position.
- the first portion 4 forming a hand-held device comprises first holding means 6 (front butt in the case of a set of machine gun) of the bottle placed in the ejection position, and first means of 8.
- the second portion 1 0 forming a hand held comprises second interlocking means (reinforcing tube) 12 adapted to be engaged in the closed position with the first interlocking means 8 when the bottle is placed in the position of ejection and second holding means 1 6 (rear stock) integral with the second engagement means 12.
- the assembly thus mounted in closed position with the bottle placed in the ejection position ( Figure 1) allows to produce a jet of effervescent liquid of size, duration and distance chosen, with the stirring of the front brackets 6 and / or or back 1 6 held in hand by a user.
- the rear portion of the assembly 1 is composed of a rear butt 16, a central ring 18 for holding the bottle and a rod 12 of reinforcement while the front part of the assembly 1 is composed of a front butt 6 and a barrel or hollow tube 8.
- the assembly 1 is in the closed position.
- the rigid tube 12 makes it possible to reinforce the assembly 1.
- the rigid tube 12 is made of steel, it can be hollow or solid.
- the bottle is held mechanically by means of the rear stock 16 which has a protuberance 17 of conjugated shape with the base 9 of the bottle.
- the shutter-diffuser seal 2 is made in one piece. It is a centerpiece of the ejector assembly.
- the seal is made of flexible material to slip and "tighten" on the neck 5 of the bottle at the time of closing.
- the compromise flexibility / rigidity of the material is also critical to control the deformation of the part during the ejection of the liquid under pressure.
- the structure at the joint 2 can be reinforced with one or more holding pieces (for example clamping rings 28 - FIGS. 4B and 4C) placed on or in the joint, in reinforcement, at the locations of the deformation. .
- the seal 2 is made of elastomer, maintained in pressure on the neck 5 and the neck 3.
- the jet of liquid can come out of the seal only by the opening or openings 20 created on the front surface 21 of the seal 2 facing the outlet of the neck 7 of the bottle 3.
- the elastomeric product is chosen for its qualities of adhesion with the glass of the neck that it is intended to seal.
- Elements 22 protruding may be provided on the mounting portion 23 of the seal 2 so as to facilitate the joining of the seal with the first hand-held portion 4. These elements 22 may also be used to remove the seal and change it with a another version of joint to obtain for example a different jet configuration (larger jet and shorter duration or jet tighter and longer duration) or with a pourer type version.
- the openings 20 on the front face (sealing portion) 21 of the seal 2 to control the power and direction of the jet of liquid.
- number, diameter, disposition in addition to the tightness at the level of the neck, depends the distance and the general shape of the jet, as well as the duration of the game. For example, under "normal" conditions of use, for a jet exceeding 5 to 6 meters distance and for a minimum play time of 15 seconds of continuous stream, the opening 20 may be single and of diameter less than or equal to 1, 5mm.
- a shorter, wider and more diffuse jet can be obtained by adding one or more holes 20 of diameter less than or equal to the central hole, and disposed at the periphery thereof.
- the first 4 and second 10 parts are in position of fitting with the rigid tube 12 inserted into the barrel (hollow tube) 8.
- the body 1 1 of the bottle 3 is inserted in the central retaining ring 18.
- the bottle is previously open (uncorked).
- the closure of the ejector assembly is effected by sliding the barrel 8 on the steel reinforcing tube 12 to a clip 13 for holding in the rear part 1 0 of the assembly.
- the bottle 3 is held securely by the center thanks to the retaining ring 18, from below thanks to the abutment 17 on the jig of the rear stock 1 6, and from above in the seal diffuser 2 which seals the bottle 3 when the front barrel 12 is closed to maintain the assembly.
- a guide pin 34 is mounted on the inner face of the front portion 12. The guide pin 34 traverses the slide 30 forwardly backward and rotates about the axis of the tube 12 when the front portion is manipulated to open / close the ejector assembly.
- the assembly 1 is in the closed position with a bottle 3 placed in the ejection position.
- the implementation of such a device "Champagne submachine gun” is as follows.
- the good closure then means the right positioning of the diffusion seal 2 on the neck 7 of the bottle and the mechanical maintenance of the assembly.
- the user starts the game by shaking vigorously one or more times all until the formation of the jet of liquid, and can continue by continuing agitation, if necessary, until the internal pressure the bottle is too weak for the jet of liquid to be properly maintained.
- the front portion 8 of the assembly 1 can be disengaged from the rear portion 12.
- the bottle opened beforehand can then be inserted vertically down as in the previous case.
- the closure can be done by threading the front portion 8 of the reinforcing tube 12 of the rear part, then aligning and closing the assembly as explained above.
- the clearance of the retaining ring 18 can be achieved by rotating the front portion 8 outwardly about an axis perpendicular to the axis defined by the "barrel" portion of the rear portion 12, and located at a junction between the front portion 8 and the rear portion 12.
