Description

The present invention relates to a cap of a container, (bottle, bag, drum) that is provided with a housing in its lower part, which contains conditioning materials, which when in contact with the liquid of the container transmit the contents of the Same characteristics (color, flavor, aroma, maturity, aging, etc.).

It also has a communication with the outside in the last mentioned version that allows it to control the pressure of the gas and its composition and its sealing for its complete tightness, this new Improvement in the object of Patent No. 200600979 consists of: Plug and Housing Conditioning Load

The sealing plug, is actually the one that makes the seal in the container that carries it, (bottle, bag, drum etc.) It can be made of thermoplastic material and has in the part that is visible after the plug is inserted into the container container, of a very helical thread for the classic caps, since the current corkscrews have that type of thread, or the thread of my alluded patent P 200600979 to be able to extract it.

Likewise, the Sealing Cap has a recess in the container, or a hole in it, which will serve as a male or female to adjust the Housing of the Conditioning Load that will do it by pressure, counter output or welding. .

Accommodation Load Conditioner.

It is a cylindrical vessel, whose walls and bottom have perforations that allow the Liquid to be conditioned to pass through them and make contact with the Conditioning Load, the measurements of these perforations will be related to the measurements of the particles that make up the Conditioner Load to prevent its passage through these perforations since this would contaminate the Liquid that is to be Conditioned, if the Conditioner Load were very ground, it would carry a filter interposed between the Housing and the Load. (This can be a porous material of sanitary conditions (Paper, cloth etc.) The mouth part of the Housing of the Conditioning Load is smooth, both inside and outside. It does not have perforations, it is the part that is Adjust with the plug, either by its outer diameter or by its inner diameter by pressure, counter-output or welding.

To complete the description above, and for your best knowledge and understanding, a series of drawings of practical realizations and their possible applications are provided.

Figure 1 shows a set of the Conditioner Plug (100) in which the Shutter Head (1) can be perforated for its extraction by a normal corkscrew carrying a Helical Extraction Thread (5) to facilitate it.

The Housing of the Conditioning Load (2) is coupled to it by means of the adjustment (6) and this is the carrier of the Conditioning Load (3) that only in the case of being very ground would the Filter (4) be used, since they would suffice Liquid through holes (8) for filtering.

Figure 2 shows a set of the Conditioner Plug (100) in which the Shutter Head (1) The metric Extraction Thread (5) corresponds to the P 200600979 Atmosphere Control (12).

The Housing of the Conditioner Load (2) is coupled to it by means of the Adjustment (7) and as in Figure 1 it is the carrier of the Conditioner Load (3) which as the previous version is the carrier of the Conditioner Load (3) that only In the case of being very ground, the Filter (4) would be used as the filter holes (8) would be sufficient.

Figure 3 shows the part (1) Shutter Head in its helical thread version (5) and its Adjustment Diameter (6).

Figure 4 shows the part (1) Shutter head in its version of metric thread (5) corresponding to my P 200600979 and its Adjustment Diameter 7, it is noteworthy the Atmosphere Control Vent (12) that allows drilling to change the gas, or pressure thereof and sealed again by fusion.

Figure 5 corresponds to the Housing of the Conditioning Load (2) and the Adjustment Diameters (6) female, and (7) male, with the sealing head (1). It is possible to observe Liquid passage holes (8) and the Longitudinal and Transverse Nerves (9) in whose intersection openings the mentioned Liquid passage holes to be conditioned (8) are produced, and that communicate the Liquid that is wanted Conditioning (11) with the Conditioning Load (3).

Figure 6 is The Filter (4) Only usable in the event that the Conditioning Load (3) is very ground and consists of a cylinder, winding or wrapping, porous container and closed at the ends, it can be silk screen printed, fabric, paper etc. resistant to be dissolved by the Liquid to be conditioned (11).

Figure 7 shows a Liquid Container to be Conditioned (10) and the Liquid to be Conditioned (11) closed by the Conditioner Cap III (100) in this case a bottle that for proper operation must remain lying down for better penetration of the liquid in the Conditioner Cap III (100).

Figure 8 shows a plug with a knurled head so that it can be removed manually by traction and rotation,

 2. Statement motivated according to articles 29.6 and 29.7 of the Regulations for the execution of Law 11/1986, of March 20, on Patents on novelty and inventive activity; quotes and explanations in support of this statement The object of the invention is a conditioning plug consisting of a sealing head, as a seal, and a housing of the conditioning load. The conditioning load comes into contact with the liquid to be conditioned, transmitting the characteristics of color, aroma, flavor, etc. through some liquid passage holes, the dimension of which depends on the size of the particles in the charge. When the particles are very ground a resistant filter of suitable porosity is inserted. Document D1 discloses a wine conditioning cap consisting of a sealing head (1), as a seal, and a housing of the conditioning load (4), shaped like a cylindrical vessel. The conditioning load comes into contact with the wine, transmitting the characteristics of color, aroma, flavor, etc. through some liquid passage holes that the housing presents. The possibility is also contemplated that the particles of the conditioning load are, in turn, wrapped in an additional porous inner cylindrical carrier (9). For the adjustment of the head with the housing, the head has female inner clips (3) in which it fits and adjusts the outer diameter of the housing (see page 7, line 7 - page 8, line 12; figures 1-6, 9.10). The fact that the additional cylindrical porous carrier is a filter because of a smaller particle size is considered an obvious option for the person skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention defined in claims 1.3-5 does not differ from the known technique described in document D1 in any essential way, being considered obvious to one skilled in the art. Accordingly, the invention according to claims 1.3-5 is not considered to imply inventive activity based on what is disclosed in document D1 (Art. 8 LP). In relation to dependent claim 2, document D2 discloses a plug whose sealing head has a helical female thread for removal (see summary, figures 1,2). It would be obvious to one skilled in the art to incorporate this helical female thread described in document D2, to the sealing head of the plug disclosed in document D1, considered the closest state of the art. Therefore, claim 2 lacks inventive activity in relation to what is disclosed in documents D1 and D2 (Art. 8 LP). With respect to dependent claim 6, relating to the use of this conditioning system in caps with manually removed heads, this is common knowledge in the state of the art (see, for example, EP0236751) which, therefore, does not It implies an inventive activity.
