Abstract

A container arrangement for storing liquids, and in particular aerated liquids, comprises an at least partly collapsible container 1 which is received within a canister 5. The canister is provided with compressing means in the form of a disc 8 and a collar 6 which is movable axially in a slot 10 in the canister. After liquid has been removed from the container, the container is partly collapsed by the compressing means so that little or no air is left remaining in the container and an aerated liquid does not go flat. The collapsible container may be frustoconical (Figure 5) comprising circular sections alternating with conical sections so that adjacent sections collapse within one another, or dumbbell shape (Figure 6), or a plastic bag. The cannister may be open at both ends and made of metal, wood or plastics. Fins 4 on the collapsible container may retain it in an opening in a lid of the canister. <IMAGE>

Description

"Containers for storing liquids" This invention relates to a container arrangement and method of storing aerated liquids and the like.
Aerated liquids, such as aerated beverages and the like, are stored in airtight containers, in order to maintain the liquid in an aerated state. Thus, aerated liquids are in effect stored under pressure. In one example, aerated beverages are stored in bottles with screw-top openings, which maintain the beverage in an appropriately aerated form until the bottle is initially opened.
However, once the container or bottle has been opened, at least some of the gas within the liquid is able to escape, and gradually a substantial amount of the gas will escape, leaving the liquid in a "flat" or non-aerated state. This process can be slowed down to a certain extent by replacing the lid or closure of the bottle or container. However, as generally occurs, a portion of the aerated liquid is removed from the container and the lid or closure subsequently replaced. This results in an increased volume air remaining in the bottle or container. The remaining liquid is in contact with the above mentioned increased volume of air, allowing more of the gas within the liquid to escape. Thus, increases the rate at which the aerated liquid goes "flat".If the volume of air in contact with the remaining liquid can be decreased, the remaining aerated liquid will be maintained in a more acceptable state for an increased period of time.
It is an object therefore of one aspect of the present invention to provide a container arrangement which goes someway toward overcoming or at least minimising the above mentioned problems, or which at least provides the public with a useful alternative.
Other objects of the invention will become apparent by the following description.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a canister, including a recess to receive a collapsible container, and compressing means to compress and maintain said collapsible container in a least partially collapsed form, said compressing means being movable relative to said collapsible container, such that upon removal of at least a portion of a substance contained within said collapsible container, said compressing means is repositionable relative to said collapsible container, so as to compress and maintain said collapsible container in said at least partially collapsed form, such that a space created by the removal of said portion of said substance is reduced to and thereafter maintained at a predetermined level.
According to a futFier aspect of the present: invention there is Provided a container arrangement, including a collapsible container and a retaining canister; wherein said collapsible container is capable of at least partially collapsing; and wherein said retaining canister includes recess to receive said collapsible container, compressing means to compress and maintain said collapsible container in an at least partially collapsed form, said compressing means being movable relative to said collapsible container, such that upon removal of at least a portion of a substance contained within said collapsible container, said compressing means is repositionable relative to said collapsible container, so as to compress and maintain said collapsible container in said at least partially collapsed form, such that a space created by the removal of said portion of said liquid is reduced to and thereafter maintained at a predetermined level.
According to a still further aspect of the present invention there is provided a collapsible container, including a plurality of sections integrally formed one with the other, such that at least a part of said container is frustoconial in shape; said sections being moveable relative to one another and being of diameters such that said container is able to at least partially collapse into itself, by positioning of one or more sections within space formed by adjacent sections of greater diameter.
According to a still further aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of storing and maintaining an aerated substance including the steps of: a) containing said substance in a sealed and at least partially collapsible container; b) upon removal of at least a portion of said substance from said container, housing said container in a canister; and c) after removal of at least a portion of said substance, repositioning compressing means of said canister so as to compress and thereafter maintain said collapsible container in at least partially collapsed form, such that a space created by the removal of said portion of said liquid is reduced to and thereafter maintained at a predetermined level.
Further aspects of the present invention will become apparent from the following example, which is given by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIGURE 1: shows a side view of a collapsible container according to one aspect of the present invention.
FIGURE 2: shows a side view of a retaining canister according to one aspect of the present invention.
FIGURE 3: shows a sectional view of a container arrangement according to one aspect of the present invention.
FIGURE 4: shows a side view of a collapsible container according to a further aspect of the present invention.
FIGURE 5: shows a side view of the container in Figure 4, in a partially collapsed position.
FIGURE 6: shows a side view of a collapsible container according to a still further aspect of the present invention.
Referring firstly to Figure 1, there is provided in one form of the invention a collapsible container I. The collapsible container 1 includes a plurality of collapsible segments 2, the collapsible segments being integrally formed one with the other.
The collapsible container 1 further includes an opening 3 which, in one preferred form of the invention, is externally threaded. In one preferred form of the invention, the opening 3 is provided with a plurality of fins 4 extending outwardly from the periphery thereof. There is also provided a lid (not shown) which is releasably engagable with the opening 3. Thus, is one form of the invention the lid is internally threaded.
In one preferred form of the invention, the collapsible container I is substantially circular, however it will be appreciated that the container 1 may take other forms, without departing from the scope of the invention.
In a further, particularly preferred form of the invention, which is described further hereinafter, there is provided a collapsible container 14, which is shown in Figure 4. In a still further form, the collapsible container may be of the form shown in Figure 6.
Referring now to Figure 2, there is provided in one preferred form of the invention a retaining canister 5. The retaining canister 5 includes a recess therein, adapted to receive and locate the collapsible container 1, as shown in Figure 3.
In one preferred form of the invention, the canister 5 includes retaining means in the form of a collar 6, and a threaded outer surface 7.
Referring to Figure 3, the canister 5 is provided with a disc 8. The disc 8 includes at least two protrusions 9, which extend outwardly from the periphery thereof. The canister 5 is also provided with at least two longitudinal slots 10, extending at least partially along the length thereof. The protrusions 9 extend through corresponding slots 10.
The protrusions 9 extend into and are located within recesses provided on the inner surface of the collar 6, and are thus located and retained in position by the collar 6.
The canister 5 is also provided with a closure 11, which is releåsably engagable with the top 12 of the canister 5. In one preferred form of the invention, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the top 12 of the canister 5 is screw threaded.
Similarly, the internal surface of the closure 11 is also internally threaded.
However, it will be appreciated that other engaging means may also be used.
As shown in Figure 3, an upper surface of the closure 11 is provided with an opening 13 therein, through which the opening 3 of the collapsible container I extends during use. In the preferred form of the invention shown in the accompanying drawings, the fins 4 extend outwardly from the opening 3, and engage with the periphery of the opening 13, which assists in holding the collapsible container I firmly within the canister 5.
The container arrangement of the present invention is preferably used to store aerated liquids, such as aerated beverages and the like, although other substances may also be stored.
In use, the substance to be stored such as for example an aerated beverage, is placed within a collapsible container i, such as for example any one of the containers 1, 14 or 19. Further description is given with reference to container I, although this is by way of example only and any suitable collapsible container may be used.
Preferably, a lid is applied, in order to provide a sealed container within which the aerated beverage may subsequently be stored. When it is necessary to initially open the collapsible container 1, it may be placed within the recess provided in the retaining canister 5.
Once at least a portion of the aerated liquid contained within the collapsible container I has been removed, the collar 6 is screwed in the appropriate direction, thus moving the disc 8 towards the opening of the recess within the retaining canister 5.
As a result, the collapsible container t is at least partially compressed or collapsed, preferably until the remaining liquid substantially fills the collapsible container 1. At this stage, the lid may be replaced on the opening 3 of the collapsible container 1. The result is that the remaining aerated liquid stored within the collapsible container I is not exposed to a large or increased volume of air, as will generally be the case when at least a portion of the liquid stored within a container is removed.
This has particular advantage to the storage of aerated or carbonated liquids, beverages and the like, in that any exposure to relatively large volumes of air tends to increase the rate of escape of gas within the aerated liquid into the atmosphere and thus the subsequent "flatness" of the aerated liquid or beverage. As the volume of air within the container is substantially eliminated or minimised, the volume of air to which the remaining liquid or material is exposed is substantially reduced or minimised, resulting in a larger proportion of the gas remaining within the liquid.
This means that the liquid remains in a suitably or appropriately aerated form for a substantially longer period of time than would otherwise be the case.
Thus, in use, a desired portion of the aerated liquid is removed from the collapsible canister I by means of the opening 3. The collar 6 is then moved towards the closure I I, by means of the screw thread 7. This movement of the collar 6 moves the disc 8 toward the closure II, thus at least partially collapsing the collapsible container 1, as shown in Figure 3.
As subsequent portions of the aerated liquid or other material are removed from the collapsible container 1, the collar 6 and the disc 8 are moved up to the appropriate position, the collapsible container I being collapsed by the required amount each time.
It will be appreciated that by leaving the lid off the opening 3, a user will be able to judge when the collar 6 is moved toward the closure 11 by the correct amount. For example, if the collar 6 is moved too far, any liquid or substance remaining in the collapsible container I would be forced out through the opening 3.
On the other hand, the collar 6 must be moved up sufficiently that the required or desired amount of air is expelled from the collapsible container I.
It will also be appreciated that the disc 8 is adapted to compress and thereafter maintain the collapsible container I in the at least partially collapsed position or form, in order that the collapsible container 1 cannot then re-expand, in the event that some air is able to permeate the container or lid-opening interface, as has been known with previously available arrangements. Thus, the collapsible container I is maintained in the correct position and form, and in fact cannot re-expand and let air thereinto.
Some previously available collapsible containers re-expand with time, thus causing aerated and carbonated liquids and the like to go "flat" more quickly than is desirable.
When the disc is tightened, the container and its contents are compressed, so that in the case of an aerated liquid-filled container, it will immediately inhibit the escape of gas from the liquid. This compression of the container and its contents also has the effect of overcoming any inherent expandability within the container, in that it cannot re-expand, and is amenable to handling, transportation and the like.
It will also be appreciated that a retaining canister 5 according to the present invention may be reused, with any number of collapsible containers I being subsequently placed therein. It will also be appreciated that any suitable or appropriate collapsible container maybe used to advantage.
Referring back to Figures 4-6, a problem which has been encountered with some previously available collapsible containers is that not only are such containers capable of collapse, but they may also be capable of expansion beyond their intended full state, that is the size and shape naturally assumed when full of air and uncapped. This means that such containers are not generally suited for the storage of aerated liquids and the like, as once such containers are filled, they may expand, with resulting air gaps occurring. Such gaps increase the rate at which the aerated liquid goes "flat" and thus are unacceptable. As an example, such containers may not necessarily expand immediately, but are liable to expand if tampered with, or handled excessively, or even slightly roughly. This is unacceptable in a manufacturing situation, where the product must reach the market in a good condition.Thus, in a further form of the present invention, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings, there may be provided a collapsible container, which may be substantially frustoconical in shape.
The container 14 included a plurality of substantially circular sections 15, spaced between a plurality of substantially conical sections 16. Preferably, the sections 15 and 16 are integrally formed one with the other. In the full state, as described above, the container 14 cannot expand any further, but can be collapsed or partly collapsed, as shown in Figure 5. As the container 14 is substantially frustoconical in shape, the successive sections 15 and 16 are able to collapse one inside the other. The container 14 will remain in such a position, until some forces apply thereto, to re-expand it.
The container 14 includes the opening 17 and fins 18, similar to those described above, with reference to Figure 1-3, and may be used in conjunction with the canister 5, in the manner described above. The container 14 does have the advantage, however, that it will not expand beyond its natural full state, when filled with, for example, an aerated liquid, and the initial opening. The container 14 is thus useful for use by manufacturers of aerated beverages and the like.
Similarly, a collapsible container according to one form of the invention is the container 19, shown in Figure 6. The container 19 is of a "dumbbell" shape, in that it comprises two frustocomical shapes, joined end to end. Again the container 19 may include an opening and fins.
Furthermore, although the container arrangement according to the present invention has been described with particular reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be appreciated that the retaining means may take other forms, without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the retaining canister 5 may be provided with two substantially open ends, one end adapted to receive the collapsible container, and the other end adapted to receive and house a disc, similar to the disc 8 as shown in the accompanying drawings.
The disc may be moved upwardly, in order to collapse the collapsible container, by pressure being applied through the recess provided in the other end of the canister. There may be provided a mechanism by which the disc can be rotated, for example, to release the disc in order that the disc can be moved upwardly to collapse the container, and thereafter rotated in the opposite direction, in order to the lock the disc in the new position. Other retaining means would be obvious to a person skilled in the art, and it will be appreciated that other retaining means may be used without departing from the scope of the invention.
It is envisaged that the canister and collapsible container provided by the present invention may be formed of any suitable material and from any suitable technique. In one preferred form of the invention, the canister and collapsible container are both formed of a suitable plastics material, and by a suitable technique, such as for example moulding, extrusion and the like. It will also be appreciated that annealing may be used in order to form the collapsible container I.
It will also be appreciated that other materials may also be used to advantage. For example, the canister 5 maybe formed of a suitable metallic material, wood and the like.
Furthermore, it will be appreciated that the collapsible container may take other forms. For example, the collapsible may be in the form of a substantially flexible bag, such as for example a plastic bag or the like. Such a bag may be placed within a canister according to the present invention, and compressed or collapsed as described above with reference to the collapsible container 1. It will also be appreciated that such a bag or other container may be formed of any suitable or appropriate material, such as for example plastic, rubber and the like.
Thus, by this invention there is provided a container arrangement, which facilitates the storage of aerated and carbonated beverages and the like, and which overcomes problems associated with previously available arrangement.
Although this invention has been described by way of example, and with reference to various embodiments thereof, if should be appreciated that variations and modifications may be made thereto, without departing from the scope thereof, as defended in the appended claims.
