Abstract

The utensil has a long handle (12) which is moved by the user and whose length is greater than the height of the glass. At the lower end of the handle there is an abrasive point (18) which can make micro-scratches on the inner wall of the glass. The point is made from diamonds, or another suitable material, and is conical or spherical in shape. The length of the handle is between 10-20 cm and is made in metal or plastics. A cap (20) covers the point and has a hook (22) for clipping it in a pocket.

Description

La présente invention concerne la consommation de boissons pétillantes, vins mousseux et champagne. The present invention relates to the consumption of sparkling drinks, sparkling wines and champagne.

Bien que la composition et les procédés de préparation des boissons pétillantes, notamment vins mousseux et champagne, n'aient pas changé de façon notable depuis des décennies, on constate fréquemment de nos jours que, après avoir été servis en coupe, ces boissons dégagent peu de bulles - semble-t-il moins que par le passé -. Although the composition and methods of preparation of sparkling drinks, especially sparkling wines and champagne, have not changed significantly for decades, it is frequently seen today that, after being served in a cup, these drinks release little bubbles - it seems less than in the past -.

Ce phénomène porte souvent atteinte à la qualité du plaisir de la dégustation. This phenomenon often affects the quality of the pleasure of tasting.

Il est souvent attribué aux conditions de la consommation, température de la boisson, mauvaise conservation Ou vieillissement,
Il semble cependant, d'après les études conduites par la
Demanderesse, que ce phénomène serait plutôt dû, au moins en grande partie, aux produits de nettoyage, dégraissage et rinçage utilisés de nos jours, plus précisément aux composants tensio-actifs présents en fort pourcentage dans ces produits.It is often attributed to the conditions of consumption, temperature of the drink, poor storage or aging,
However, it appears from studies conducted by the
Applicant, that this phenomenon is rather due, at least in large part, to the cleaning, degreasing and rinsing products used today, more precisely to the surfactant components present in high percentage in these products.

La Demanderesse a déterminé que les inconvénients précités pouvaient être supprimés grâce à un ustensile comprenant un manche support allongé conçu pour être manipulé par un utilisateur, d'une longueur supérieure à la hauteur d'une coupe, lequel manche possède à sa base une pointe abrasive apte à générer des micro-rayures dans la paroi interne d'une coupe. The Applicant has determined that the aforementioned drawbacks could be eliminated by means of a utensil comprising an elongated support handle designed to be handled by a user, of a length greater than the height of a cut, which handle has at its base an abrasive tip able to generate micro-scratches in the internal wall of a cup.

On a illustré sur la figure annexée, un ustensile conforme à la présente invention. Illustrated in the appended figure, a utensil according to the present invention.

On aperçoit sur cette figure un ustensile 10 comprenant un manche 12 allongé rectiligne centré sur un axe 14. Le manche 12 possède une longueur supérieure à la hauteur des.coupes utilisées. La longueur du manche 12 est typiquement supérieure à 1 ohm, avantageusement comprises entre 10 et 20cm. We can see in this figure a utensil 10 comprising a straight elongated handle 12 centered on an axis 14. The handle 12 has a length greater than the height of the cuts used. The length of the handle 12 is typically greater than 1 ohm, advantageously between 10 and 20 cm.

Le manche 12 peut être réalisé par exemple en métal, matière plastique, ou tout autre matériau approprié. The handle 12 can be made for example of metal, plastic, or any other suitable material.

Le manche 12 est pourvu à l'une de ses extrémités 16 d'une pointe abrasive 18. Comme indiqué précédemment, cette pointe 18 est conçue pour générer des micro-rayures dans la paroi interne d'une coupe recevant la boisson à consommer. La pointe abrasive 18 peut être formée en diamant, ou tout autre matériau approprié, apte à rayer la paroi interne d'une coupe. Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure annexée, la pointe 18 est de géométrie tronconique. En variante, la pointe abrasive 18 peut être de contour sphérique. The handle 12 is provided at one of its ends 16 with an abrasive tip 18. As indicated above, this tip 18 is designed to generate micro-scratches in the internal wall of a cup receiving the drink to be consumed. The abrasive tip 18 can be formed from diamond, or any other suitable material, capable of scratching the internal wall of a cut. According to the embodiment shown in the appended figure, the tip 18 is of frustoconical geometry. Alternatively, the abrasive tip 18 can be spherical in outline.

De préférence, dans le cadre de l'invention, la pointe 18 est adaptée pour générer des rayures dans la paroi interne de la coupe, possédant une largeur de quelques microns. Preferably, in the context of the invention, the tip 18 is adapted to generate scratches in the internal wall of the cup, having a width of a few microns.

Comme on le voit sur la figure annexée, de préférence l'ustensile comprend en outre un capuchon 20 apte à recouvrir après utilisation la pointe 18 afin, d'une part de protéger celle-ci, d'autre part de protéger l'utilisateur à l'encontre d'une blessure sur cette pointe 18. As can be seen in the appended figure, preferably the utensil further comprises a cap 20 capable of covering the tip 18 after use so as, on the one hand to protect the latter, on the other hand to protect the user from against an injury on this point 18.

De même l'ustensile représenté sur la figure annexée comprend un crochet d'accrochage 22. Celui-ci peut être prévu sur le manche 12 comme représenté sur la figure annexée, ou en variante sur le capuchon 20 lui-même. Similarly, the utensil shown in the appended figure comprises a hooking hook 22. This can be provided on the handle 12 as shown in the appended figure, or alternatively on the cap 20 itself.

Bien entendu la présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation particulier qui vient d'être décrit et qui est représenté sur la figure annexée, mais s'étend à toute variante conforme à son esprit. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiment which has just been described and which is shown in the appended figure, but extends to any variant in accordance with its spirit.

Pour utiliser l'ustensile 10 conforme à l'invention, il suffit de déplacer la pointe 18 sur la surface interne d'une coupe, de préférence sur le fond de celle-ci, et ce très avantageusement avant de servir la boisson. To use the utensil 10 according to the invention, it suffices to move the point 18 on the internal surface of a cup, preferably on the bottom thereof, and this very advantageously before serving the drink.

L'utilisateur constatera alors une génération fournie, régulière et continue de bulles au niveau des micro-rayures ainsi formées. The user will then see a provided, regular and continuous generation of bubbles at the level of the micro-scratches thus formed.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation, l'ustensile conforme à la présente invention peut comprendre un moteur électrique ou un système piézo-électrique ou encore tout moyen équivalent logé dans le manche 12 et portant sur son arbre de sortie la pointe abrasive 18 afin de déplacer celle-ci, par exemple selon un mouvement vibratoire ou excentrique. Ce moyen moteur peut être commandé par une pile logée également dans le manche 12 par l'intermédiaire d'un microinterrupteur.  According to another alternative embodiment, the utensil according to the present invention can comprise an electric motor or a piezoelectric system or else any equivalent means housed in the handle 12 and carrying on its output shaft the abrasive tip 18 in order to move this, for example according to a vibratory or eccentric movement. This drive means can be controlled by a battery also housed in the handle 12 by means of a microswitch.
