Definitions

• the present invention relates to a wine aeration accessory.
• a wine especially a red wine
• a wine aeration accessory comprising a body which internally delimits a wine receiving cavity and which comprises a lower wine flow line and at least one aeration duct opening into this flow duct, perpendicular to the latter, this aeration duct for aeration of the wine by Venturi effect.
• Such an accessory has the disadvantage of not allowing aeration of the wine perfectly effective.
• the accessory therefore comprises, in a manner known per se, a body internally delimiting a wine receiving cavity and comprising a lower wine flow duct and at least one aeration duct opening into this duct. flow, this aeration duct allowing venturi effect ventilation of the wine, the accessory further comprising a tubular wine flow stud defining a central wine flow duct, this pad being, when the use of the accessory, located in said cavity and its central duct being connected to said lower conduit of the wine flow.
• said tubular stud comprises at least one helical groove arranged through its wall, opening into said central duct.
• the accessory is placed on a glass, a carafe or other suitable container, then wine is poured into said cavity.
• the wine flows by gravity into the helical groove or grooves of the stud then into the central conduit of this stud, into said lower flow conduit and finally into the glass, carafe or other container.
• the passage of the wine through the plot allows for a first aeration with wine and especially to give this wine has a swirling flow, which the wine preserves as it passes through the lower duct; this vortex flow maximizes ventilation by Venturi effect occurring in this lower duct.
• said cavity has a shape of revolution and said pad is located in the axis of this cavity, as well as lower conduit of the wine flow.
• said body has a conically shaped bottom wall, the tip of which is turned away from said cavity and is connected to said lower flow conduit, and whose slope is between 30 and 60 °, and is preferably of the order of 45 to 50; inside or along this bottom wall are arranged several of said air ducts.
• the plurality of ventilation ducts and the inclination of these ducts maximizes the Venturi effect, and therefore the aeration of the wine.
• the conical shape of the bottom wall promotes the flow of wine through the pad, and thus allows an acceleration of the swirling motion, for an even greater aeration effect.
• the ventilation ducts are regularly distributed around the periphery of said bottom wall.
• the body may include three ventilation ducts.
• the body has a side wall delimiting said cavity, having a curved shape and being narrowed at a median portion of this wall.
• This form is favorable to the operation of the accessory. It also makes it possible to give the accessory an external form in amphora, visually attractive.
• the tubular flow stud may comprise a single helical groove, conferring on it the shape of a tendril. It may also have the shape of a cylinder in which is arranged a plurality of helical grooves, located in a helical continuity of each other. This second embodiment of the stud is easier to mold than the first embodiment mentioned.
• the lower flow duct advantageously has a substantially conical shape, having a cross section increasing as it moves away from said cavity. This conical shape helps to achieve a perfect aeration of the wine.
• the stud could be attached to the body.
• this stud is a separate part of the body and has a tip adapted to be inserted into a receiving housing arranged in the body.
• This two-piece structure facilitates the manufacture of the accessory and the cleaning thereof.
• Said end and said receiving housing are preferably dimensioned such that the endpiece is adapted to be engaged in the housing with friction, thereby achieving easy assembly of the stud to the body.
• the body may advantageously have a plurality of lateral handles facilitating its capture. These handles also contribute to give the accessory the presentation of a small amphora.
• FIG. 2 is a sectional view, with disassembly of a flow pad that includes this accessory, the pad being according to a first embodiment
• FIG. 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, with mounting of the stud in a body that includes this accessory;
• FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another wine flow pad, according to a second embodiment.
• Figures 1 to 3 show an accessory 1 of wine aeration, comprising a body 2 and a tubular stud 3 of wine flow.
• the body 2 comprises a side wall 5, a bottom wall 6 and a lower pipe 7 of wine flow.
• the side wall 5 has a curved shape and is narrowed at a median portion 5a of this wall, in the direction of the height of the accessory 1, that is to say according to the direction of the flow of wine through this accessory. It delimits, with the bottom wall 6, a cavity 8 for receiving the wine, having a form of revolution.
• the bottom wall 6 is of conical shape, having its tip turned away from the cavity 8 and having a slope of the order of 45 to 50 °. It forms, inside the cavity 8, a conical surface centered on the axis of revolution of this cavity. In its center, the bottom wall 6 forms a housing 10 connecting the pad 3, which communicates with the lower conduit 7 of wine flow, located below this housing.
• Venturi effect Inside the bottom wall 6 are arranged three ventilation ducts 1 1 opening on the one hand, in the lower part of the connection housing 10, and, on the other hand, on the outside of the body 2. These aeration ducts 1 1 allow to aeration of the wine by Venturi effect.
• the ventilation ducts 1 1 open at the base of three gripping handles 15 which also comprises the body 2.
• the bottom wall 6 forms a conical surface allowing the support of the accessory against the edge of a glass, or on the neck of a carafe.
• the lower flow duct 7 has a substantially conical shape, having a cross section increasing on the opposite side to the cavity 8, so in the direction of the lower opening of this duct.
• the tubular wine flow stud 3 has a single helical groove 20 connecting its outer surface to the central duct 21 which it comprises, this groove 20 and this duct 21. conferring on this stud 3 the form of a tendril.
• the stud 3 has a tubular axial endpiece 22, whose outer shape is dimensioned so that this tip 22 is adapted to be inserted removably into the connection housing 10 with slight friction.
