Abstract

The invention relates to a container for promoting the formation of bubbles in carbonated drinks. Small pores 3 are formed on the bottom 2 and / or on the side wall 2 'of the container 1 so that the carbon dioxide dissolved in the drink is introduced into the air bubbles retained inside the small pores 3 and that the air bubbles containing the vaporized carbon dioxide rise towards the surface of the beverage; the pores can also be formed on an independent element which is incorporated into the container during its manufacture. Thus the period of bubble formation is prolonged, which makes the drink more attractive to the consumer.

Description

The present invention relates to a container promoting the formation of

  bubbles for carbonated beverages, wherein the carbon dioxide bubbles are allowed to rise for a longer period of time by generating carbon dioxide bubbles on the bottom of the container for a longer period of time when the carbonated beverage is transferred into the container Such assistance of bubble formation in carbonated beverages is obtained by leaving small bubbles of air

  stay on the stung bottom of the container.

  In general, carbonated beverages are made by dissolving carbon dioxide in water or other beverages and, if it is assumed that

  carbon dioxide molecules are uniformly dispersed

  among the water molecules, then the gas molecules

  carbonic acid and water molecules will form a homogeneous network

  However, the bonds between the water molecules and the gas molecules are not clement bonds and consequently the

  liaison forces between them will be very small.

  your. Generally, carbonated beverages such as

  cider, champagne and the like contain carbon dioxide

  in quantities of 2 to 6 volumes in the dissolved state and, if the carbonated beverage is transferred to another container or cup, the inner pressure of the original sealed container is decreased so that most of the

  dissolved carbon dioxide in a supersaturated state

  d is transformed into bubbles and is discharged into the atmosphere.

  from the surface of the beverage while the remaining parts of the carbon dioxide are transformed into bubbles on the bottom and sides of the container before being discharged into the atmosphere, thereby

  the drink just saturated with carbon dioxide.

  However, conventional drinks do not

  not produce a lot of bubbles for a long time

  and consequently there is a need for a carbonated beverage that is capable of producing a large amount of bubbles for a prolonged period of time such that the carbonated beverage becomes

  visually more appealing to consumers.

  Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a container structure promoting the formation of carbonated beverage bubbles wherein the generation of carbon dioxide bubbles is promoted by providing carbon dioxide evolution for a longer period of time. when the carbonated beverage is transferred from the initial packaging container into the cup of the present invention or when the cup containing the beverage is left in place, thereby maintaining bubble formation or creating a more visual appearance.

attractive for the drink.

  The container structure promoting the formation of carbonated beverage bubbles is arranged in accordance with the present invention so that small air pores are formed on the bottom of the container so that

  air bubbles remain inside the pores when replacing

  pleating with the carbonated beverage and that carbon dioxide

  that is left in the existing interface between the drink and the air bubbles, thus converting the drink

  supersaturated in a saturated drink.

  The propagation of carbon dioxide through the interface into the air bubble can be compared and similar to the evaporation phenomenon of carbon dioxide through the interface between the drink and atmospheric air. air in the pores receive carbon dioxide so that the

  volume of gas they contain is increased.

  The part of the air bubble corresponding to the initial volume of air remains in the small puncture 4, while the part of the air receiving carbon dioxide from the supersaturated beverage rises under the effect of flotation force The volume of the air bubble that can remain inside the small puncture 4 may be different depending on conditions such as the structure of the punctures, the material used, the nature of the carbonated beverage, the degree of supersaturation, temperature,

  specific gravity, viscosity, permeability, and similar

  guages. The air bubble remaining adhering inside the puncture repeats the processes described above and therefore plays a role analogous to a catalyst in a chemical reaction The rise of carbon dioxide to the surface of the drink and the introduction of carbon dioxide dissolved in the pits from the supersaturated beverage proceed simultaneously and, in proportion to the rise of the carbon dioxide, the pressure is reduced and the volume of the air bubble remaining in adherence in the

sting is increased.

  As the carbon dioxide bubbles float upwards, internal circulation effects are produced inside the carbonated beverage so

  that the carbon dioxide in the supersatured beverage

  The bubble is introduced continuously into the bubbles in the bites and as a result the bubbles retained in the bites constantly play a role in the generation of carbon dioxide until the drink

  supersaturated becomes a saturated drink.

  In accordance with the arrangement of the present invention

  tion, when a carbonated beverage is transferred from the

  initial packaging in the cup of the present invention, the production of bubbles is favored and is

  pursued for a long period of time by comparison

  because of what happens with conventional containers

  which makes it easier to appeal to consumers visually.

  Description of favorite achievements

Example 1

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a

  corresponding to the first embodiment of the present

  the invention and FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the

section of Figure 4.

  The container according to the present invention

  promoting the formation of bubbles in a carbonated beverage

  is made in such a way that the bottom 2 of this container 1, made of transparent glass, is machined by means of a cutting tool to thereby form a

plurality of pointed pores 3.

  If the pointed pores 3 formed on the bottom 2 of the container 1 are observed by means of a magnifying glass, a quilted surface 4 is seen as shown in FIG.

  Unlike an ordinary glass surface,

  founders of pores 3 being very small so that

  the substances contained in the pores 3 can be removed

  washed with a cleaning cloth. When a carbonated beverage is poured into the container 1 of the present invention, the carbon dioxide enters the air bubbles contained in the many pores 3 and then the carbon dioxide in the dissolved state is converted into carbon dioxide bubbles, as a result of which these carbon dioxide bubbles rise to the surface of the drink, thus highlighting the ability of

  formation of bubbles of a carbonated beverage.

  When creating the pores 3 in the form of a surface stitched on the bottom 2 of the container 1 in the first embodiment of the present invention, the pores 3 can be arranged in such a way that they can be distributed not only in rows and columns but

  also in the form of certain images or characters.

Example 2

  As shown in Figure 7, a container 1 is

  presenting in the form of a cup is provided with a plurality of

  pore 3, 3 'on the bottom 2 and on its side wall.

  2 ', in the same way as in the first

tion.

  In this second embodiment, the pores 3 'can be distributed in a circular profile along the circumference of the side wall 2' of the container 1 or they can be formed only in a zone

  localized, or in the form of a character.

  The extended period of bubble formation that is achieved with this second realization is the same as

that of the first realization.

Example 3

  As indicated in FIG. 6, a mineral 5 promoting the formation of bubbles is incorporated in the bottom 2 of the container 1, this agent favoring the formation

  bubbles being provided with a quilted surface.

  The bubble promoting agent has a pitted surface similar to the surface of a broken ceramic material and thus it is differentiated from the

surface of the glass cup.

  Ceramic materials, porcelain, glass, metals and the like can be used to form the bubble promoting agent but these

materials must be porous.

  The prolonged period of bubble formation

  after the payment of a carbonated beverage in the reci-

  1 of the present invention is the same, in the

  third realization, only in the first realization.
