Description

Enfriador de cerveza en jarra. Beer cooler in jug.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a un enfriador de cerveza en jarra, previsto concretamente para mantener durante un largo periodo de tiempo la cerveza que previamente ha sido “tirada” en una jarra. The present invention relates to a beer cooler in a pitcher, specifically intended to maintain for a long period of time the beer that has previously been "thrown" into a pitcher.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir que de una forma natural y sin intervención de elementos externos tales como hielos, congelación de la jarra, etc., servir al consumidor una jarra de cerveza en un óptimo estado de enfriamiento, independientemente de que la cerveza haya sido tirada con anterioridad, en un periodo de tiempo prudencial, antes de ser servida al cliente o consumidor. The object of the invention is to ensure that, in a natural way and without the intervention of external elements such as ice, freezing of the jug, etc., serving the consumer a beer mug in an optimal cooling state, regardless of whether the beer has It was previously thrown away, in a reasonable period of time, before being served to the client or consumer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Como es sabido, a la hora de servir jarras de cerveza en las terrazas de establecimientos de hostelería, la mejor manera de llevar a cabo el enfriamiento de la cerveza es enfriar previamente la jarra en un congelador, con la finalidad de que la cerveza servida se mantenga fría durante el mayor tiempo posible. As is known, when serving beer mugs on the terraces of hospitality establishments, the best way to carry out the cooling of the beer is to previously cool the jug in a freezer, so that the beer served is keep cold for as long as possible.

No obstante, dicho método hace perder las propiedades de la cerveza, ya que en primer lugar la escarcha que se forma en la jarra hace que al poco tiempo de ser servida esa escarcha se transforme en agua, la cual se mezcla con la propia cerveza, minimizando las propiedades de ésta. Además, en ocasiones se desprenden pequeños trozos de hielo originados por esa escarcha, que resultan incómodos al paladar. However, this method causes the properties of the beer to be lost, since first the frost that forms in the jar causes that shortly after being served that frost is transformed into water, which is mixed with the beer itself, minimizing its properties. In addition, sometimes small pieces of ice from that frost are released, which are uncomfortable on the palate.

En segundo lugar, los propios distribuidores de cerveza insisten en no utilizar dicho método. Secondly, the beer distributors themselves insist on not using this method.

La forma de solucionar ese problema es la comercialización de jarras construidas en un material plástico, con una doble pared para contener agua o líquido apto para mantenerse congelado, lo cual evidentemente permite mantener la cerveza fría durante un tiempo. Sin embargo los clientes no son muy dados a beber cerveza en jarras de plástico, prefiriendo el cristal. The way to solve this problem is the commercialization of jugs built in a plastic material, with a double wall to hold water or liquid suitable for keeping frozen, which obviously allows keeping the beer cold for a while. However, customers are not very likely to drink beer in plastic jugs, preferring glass.

Igualmente se conocen pequeños cubos cuya tapa superior contiene unas aberturas para introducir botellas de cerveza, rellenándose esos cubos con agua y hielo para mantener la cerveza fría, aunque este artilugio solo sirve para cerveza embotellada y no para la clásica cerveza servida en jarra. Small cubes are also known whose top lid contains openings for introducing beer bottles, filling those buckets with water and ice to keep the beer cold, although this gadget is only for bottled beer and not for the classic beer served in a pitcher.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

En enfriador que se preconiza ha sido concebido para resolver la problemática anteriormente expuesta, en base a una solución sencilla pero eficaz. The recommended cooler has been designed to solve the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution.

Mas concretamente, el enfriador de la invención tiene la característica de mantener la jarra con la cerveza ya tirada en un estado frío, sin necesidad de enfriar previamente la jarra de cerveza. More specifically, the cooler of the invention has the characteristic of keeping the mug with the beer already thrown in a cold state, without the need to cool the beer mug first.

Concretamente, la forma de mantener la jarra de cerveza con el contenido frío, consisten en utilizar una especie de nevera portátil constituida por un cuerpo con varios compartimentos, una tapa superior, paredes dobles para determinar una cámara rellenable con agua que ha de ser congelada, y una base constituida por una bandeja plana con un reborde en el frente abierto de los compartimentos que se originan en el cuerpo general del enfriador, para evitar que se vierta sobre la mesa el agua procedente de la condensación de agua en las paredes interiores. Specifically, the way to keep the beer mug with the cold content, is to use a kind of portable refrigerator consisting of a body with several compartments, an upper lid, double walls to determine a refillable chamber with water to be frozen, and a base consisting of a flat tray with a flange on the open front of the compartments that originate from the general body of the cooler, to prevent water from the condensation of water on the interior walls from being poured onto the table.

De esta forma y antes de utilizar el enfriador, éste se meterá en un congelador con el fin de llevar a cabo el agua o líquido que contienen las cámaras de las dobles paredes del enfriador, de manera tal que el camarero, una vez tirada la jarra, introduce ésta con la cerveza en uno de los compartimentos del enfriador, llevando éste, con una o mas jarras, según los compartimentos de que disponga, hasta la mesa donde han de ser servidas para el cliente, de manera tal que en enfriador se deja en la mesa para que la jarra con la cerveza se mantenga fría durante el periodo de tiempo de consumo por parte del cliente. In this way and before using the cooler, it will be put in a freezer in order to carry out the water or liquid that contains the chambers of the double walls of the cooler, so that the waiter, once the jug is thrown , introduce this with the beer in one of the compartments of the cooler, taking it, with one or more jugs, according to the compartments available, to the table where they are to be served for the customer, so that in the cooler it is left on the table so that the pitcher with the beer remains cold during the period of consumption by the customer.

El enfriador incluye en su tapa de cierre superior un asa para el transporte de un lado a otro del enfriador. The cooler includes in its upper closing lid a handle for transporting from one side of the cooler to the other.

Por consiguiente, mediante el enfriador de la invención se logra mantener la cerveza fría durante un tiempo prudencial, que puede ser aproximadamente una hora, sin los inconvenientes derivados de la mezcla de la cerveza con agua o hielo, como ocurre tradicionalmente. Therefore, by means of the cooler of the invention it is possible to keep the beer cold for a reasonable time, which can be approximately one hour, without the inconveniences derived from mixing the beer with water or ice, as traditionally occurs.

El material en que está constituidor el enfriador puede ser un material apropiado, ligero y resistente, siempre que permita formar sus paredes laterales dobles y establecer en esas paredes cámaras destinadas a ser llenadas de un líquido que ha de ser congelado para mantener el enfriamiento, como si de una nevera portátil se tratara. The material in which the cooler is constituted can be an appropriate, light and resistant material, provided that it allows to form its double side walls and establish in those walls chambers intended to be filled with a liquid that has to be frozen to maintain cooling, such as If it were a portable fridge.
