The container is preferably held in use in an inverted position. A single valve closure member (22 Fig 4) may control both passageways 7 and 8. <IMAGE>

Description

Closure devices for containers.
The present invention relates to devices for preventing air coming into contact with liquids in partly-filled containers. The invention is especially, but not exclusively, concerned with devices which can be used to prevent air coming into contact with wine when the wine bottle has been opened.
It is well known that certain liquids which are supplied in full containers begin to deteriorate once the container is opened and the liquid comes into permanent contact with air. Wine in a bottle, for example, deteriorates comparatively quickly once the bottle is open, even if the cork is replaced, and various arrangements have been proposed for preventing air coming into contact with any wine that may remain in an opened bottle so that the wine can be retained in a good condition for a reasonable length of time. A disadvantage of previously-proposed arrangements is that they do not allow ready access to wine that remains in the bottle.
The problem with which the present invention is concerned is that of providing a closure device for use with a container to prevent air coming into permanent contact with a liquid in the container, the device being such that it enables the liquid to be readily withdrawn from the container.
The present invention provides a closure device for a container, which includes an inflatable member locatable in the container and which also provides a first passageway for the removal of liquid from the container and a second passageway for allowing air to enter the inflatable member as liauid is removed from the container.
The invention further provides a closure device for a container, comprising a closure member insertable in the mouth of the container and an inflatable member locatable within the container, there being a first passageway through the closure member for communication with the interior of the container and a second passageway through the closure member for communication with the interior of the inflatable member, the first passageway including a valve member operable to open and close the passageway.
Advantageously, the device also includes a valve member operable to open and close the second passageway, in which case the valve members for the two passageways may be arranged to operate together.
Alternatively, there may be a common valve member for both passageways.
In an embodiment of the invention, the second passageway is located within the first passageway.
The inflatable member may include a rigid support to aid location of the inflatable member within the container. In an embodiment of the invention, the support is located within the inflatable member.
The inflatable member may be detachably connected to the second passageway. The inflatable member may include an adapter by which the inflatable member can be attached to the closure member in communication with the second passageway.
The inflatable member can be formed in one piece with the rigid support and/or adapter, when present.
Xdvantageously, the inflatable member is formed from a flexible material that enables the inflatable member, when inflated, to adopt the internal contours of the container.
The closure member may include means for securing the closure member to the container.
In use, the inflatable member is attached to the closure member in communication with the second passageway and the closure member is inserted in the mouth of the full container with the inflatable member located in the container. The closure member should contact the liquid within the container. The container is then inverted, and the first passageway then provides for the withdrawal of liquid from the container while the second passageway provides for the entry of air into the inflatable member.
The invention accordingly also provides a method of removing liquid from a container including the step of locating an inflatable member in the container through the mouth of the container, inverting the container and allowing atmospheric air to enter the inflatable member through the mouth of the container as liquid flows from the container.
By way of example, devices constructed in accordance with the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figs. 1 and 2 each show, diagramatically, a respective one of the components of a first device in accordance with the invention; Fig. 3 shows, diagramatically, the first device in use; Fig. 4 shows, in cross-section, a second device in accordance with the invention, The device shown in Figs. 1 and 2 comprises an inflatable bag 1 shown in Fig. 1 and a tap mechanism 2 shown in Fig. 2.
The bag 1 is formed from a flexible plastics material and has a rigid internal support in the form of a plastics rod 3. The mouth of the bag is gathered onto, and secured to, a resilient tubular adapter 4 at one end of the rod 3, the purpose of which will be described below. Before use, the bag 1 is in a deflated condition.
The tap mechanism 2 comprises a tapered stopper 5 mounted on a tap body 6. The stopper is intended to fit the mouth of the container with which the device is to be used, in this case a wine bottle 11 shown in Fig. 3. Two tubes 7,8 pass through the tap body 6 and longitudinally through the stopper 5 and, at the end emerging from the stopper, one of the tubes (7) is fitted with a nipple 9. A tap spindle 10 in the tap body 6 passes through both of the tubes 7,8.
The device is assembled by pushing the bag adapter 4 onto the nipple 9 to place the tube 7 in communication with the interior of the bag 1. When the bottle of wine 11 has been opened and before any wine is poured from the bottle, the bag 1 is pushed into the bottle, guided by the rod 3, and the stopper 5 is pushed into the mouth of the bottle to close the latter. The stopper 5 should contact the wine within the bottle. Provided that the tap spindle 10 is in the closed position, the bottle is now effectively sealed and no air can enter. To withdraw wine from the bottle, the latter is inverted as shown in Fig. 3 and the tap spindle 10 is rotated to the open position to open the tubes 7,8.This allows wine to flow through the tube 8 and, as wine leaves the bottle through this tube, air enters through the tube 7 but is retained within the bag 1, causing the latter to inflate as shown in Fig. 3 and fill the space left, by the wine, within the bottle. When the reauired amount of wine has been withdrawn, the tao spindle 10 is rotated to the closed position and the wine remaining within the bottle, being out of contact with the air, will stay in a good condition for a prolonged period and can be drawn off when required. Because the wine bottle 11 is intended to remain inverted until all the wine has been withdrawn, it is advantageous to provide some arrangement, for example a clip (not shown), for securing the stopper 5 to the bottle and also to provide some arrangement (also not shown) for securing the bottle in the inverted position. However, it is not essential that bottle remains inverted, provided that the tap spindle 10 is turned to the closed position before the bottle is turned upright.
The device shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is particularly useful when it is required to draw only small quantities of wine from a bottle at a time, for example for tasting purposes. In this case, when the bottle has been fitted with the device and inverted it is advantageously placed onto an optic (not shown in Fig.
3): measured quantities of wine can then be dispensed, as required, over a prolonged period and the wine will remain in a good condition throughout. Because the stopper 5 of the device is tapered, there is a space between the neck of the bottle and the stopper over much of the length of the latter. Any sediment in the wine will settle into this space when the bottle is inverted and, because the end of the tube 8 is located above the sediment, none will leave the bottle.
The bag 1 is formed from a flexible plastics material that will readily adopt the internal contours of the container and fill the space above the wine that remains in the bottle 11. Such a bag can be supplied in a totally collapsed condition and will then occupy very little space so that, with the aid of the support 3, it can easily be inserted into the bottle. The adapter 4 can also be formed from a plastics material and the possibility then arises of the bag 1, adapter 4 and support 3 being formed into one piece.
The support 3, although desirable, can be omitted provided that the bag 1 can be located within the container without undue difficulty.
It is also possible to modify the stopper 5 so that the tap spindle 10 passes through the tube 8 only, the tube 7 then being permanently open. In this case, it is essential that the bottle remains in the inverted position until all the wine has been withdrawn: if the bottle is inadvertently righted, air will be pushed out of the bag 1 through the open tube 7.
Fig. 4 shows another form of device which functions in a similar manner to that shown in Figs. 1 to 3. Fig. 4, like Fig. 3, shows the device in position in a wine bottle 11 (part only of which is shown) which has been inverted to enable wine to be withdrawn from the bottle.
The device shown in Fig. 4 comprises an inflatable bag 1, similar to that of Figs. 1 to 3, and a tap mechanism indicated generally at 2. For clarity, the bag 1 is not shown in Fig. 4 but the position of part of the bag is indicated in dotted lines.
The body of the tap mechanism, which is of elongated form, is in two parts 12,13 which are screwed together at 14 with an O-ring seal 15 between them. An elongated neck 16 extends from the body part 12 and, in use, passes through the neck of the bottle 11 as shown and provides a passageway 31 leading from the interior of the bottle to a chamber 17 in the body part 12.
The second body part 13 serves to close the chamber 17 and provide two lengthwise-extending passageways 18,19 that run from the chamber 17 to the outer end of the tap body. The passageway 19 communicates with the chamber 17 but the passageway 18 is isolated from the chamber by a tube 20 that fits into one end of the passageway and extends through the chamber 17 and through the passageway 31 within the neck 16 to terminate, within the bottle 11, beyond the end of the neck 16. The inflatable bag 1 is fitted around this end of the tube 20, being secured in place by a clip (not shown) located at an external groove 21 in the tube. The passageway 18 thus communicates, via the tube 20, with the interior of the inflatable bag 1.
A tapered tap spindle 22 is located in a correspondingly-shaped transverse bore 23 in the body part 13, being secured in position by spring washers 24 and a circlip 25. If desired, a protective cap 26 can be provided, which is pushed over the end of the spindle 22 when the latter is in position. Bores 27,28, corresponding to the passageways 18,19 respectively, are formed in the tap spindle and, when brought into alignment with the passageways, serve to open the latter. In Fig. 4 the tap spindle 22 is shown in the position in which it closes the passageways 18,19.
A dispensing tube 29 is screwed into the outer end of the passageway 19 and extends from the outer end of the tap body 2.
The device is assembled as follows. The body part 13, with the tap spindle 22 and the tube 20 in position is screwed onto the body part 12. A conventional optic cork 30 is pushed over the elongated neck 16 and the inflatable bag 1 is then secured around the end of the tube 20. The bottle of wine to which the device is to be fitted is opened and the optic cork 30 (with the device) is pushed into the mouth of the bottle, in the course of which the bag 1 and the end of the neck 16 Dass into the wine within the bottle. To assist in inserting the bag 1 in the bottle, it can be provided with some form of internal support (not shown) similar to the support 3 of Figs. 1 and 2.
When the cork 30 is in position and provided that the tap spindle 22 is in the closed position, the bottle is sealed and no air can enter. To withdraw wine from the bottle, the dispensing tube 29 is screwed into the end of the passageway 19 and, with the tap spindle in the closed position, the bottle is inverted and placed on a stand. Wine from the bottle can pass through the passageway 31 (around the tube 20) to the chamber 17 and, when the spindle 22 is rotated to the open position, will flw through the passageway,19 and out of the tap body via the dispensing tube 29. At the same time, air will enter the bottle through the (now open) passageway 18 and the tube 20 but will be retained within the bag 1, causing the latter to inflate and fill the space left within the bottle as the wine is removed.When the required amount of wine has been withdrawn, the tap spindle 22 is rotated to the closed position and the wine that remains in the bottle, being out of contact with the air, will stay in a good condition and can be drawn off as required. Any sediment in the wine will settle into the space 32 between the neck portion 16 of the tap body and the neck of the bottle 11 and will not pass into the passageway 31.
The bag 1, like that of Figs. 1 to 3, is formed from a flexible, food-safe, plastics material that will readily adapt to the internal contours of the bottle.
The tap spindle 22 is also formed from a plastics material, for example PTFE, and the two parts 12,13 of the tap body are formed from food-safe stainless steel although they could also be formed from a plastics material.
Although the arrangements shown in the drawings have been described with a view to maintaining wine in a good condition it will be appreciated that they could be used to exclude air from any other liquid. For example, they could be used with bottles of liquid medicine.
