Abstract

Devices are described for fitting into pressurised individually packaged beverages (typically canned beers, ales and stouts), by which gas at high pressure is stored within the package for jetting into the beverage as the package is opened to atmosphere. One embodiment comprises a length of tube (10) having a gas jetting orifice (14) which in use is submerged below the beverage in a pressurised can having a gaseous headspace, which can be used to charge the tube with gas during the passage of the filled can (16) along a conventional canning line, on which the can is inverted after filling which brings the orifice into the gaseous headspace. A more preferred design of device comprises a moulded plastics capsule (34; 50; 78) secured near the bottom of a can (20, 88) with an internal, preferably central, pipe (56; 62; 80) to provide a liquid seal to prevent loss of gas when the can is inverted from the upright position, and an airlock when the can is upright to prevent beverage which has entered the capsule from leaving it when the can is opened to atmosphere. A further design of capsule (96) having a central internal pipe (98) and adapted to be pressurised solely by the ingress of beverage, which is fitted midway down a can (94) but which still only jets gas on opening, is also described. <IMAGE>
