Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for preventing the oxidation of the contents of glass bottles, and more particularly, to the oxidation of fermented alcoholic beverages such as wine and other liquids contained in required glass bottles, and the oxidation of the contents of glass bottles. Regarding the prevention structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When wine or the like is left in a low humidity environment such as a refrigerator, the deterioration of taste is accelerated. Therefore, it is desired to shut off the air inside and outside the glass bottle to prevent oxidation of liquid such as wine sealed in the glass bottle from progressing.

Conventionally, it is known that a cork stopper is fitted and then sealed with a metal or synthetic resin cap and seal to prevent oxidation of wine and other liquids filled in a glass bottle.

[0004]

However, in the known anti-oxidation structure of a glass bottle, wine or other liquid filled in the glass bottle passes through a cork stopper fitted in the opening. It was not possible to prevent oxygen from entering the glass bottle from outside.

Further, it has been impossible to completely shut off the air passing through the gap between the glass bottle and the cap or seal made of metal or synthetic resin.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a structure for preventing oxidation of the contents of a glass bottle is provided by installing a ring-shaped elastic sealing cap and seal on a wine-filled glass bottle after purchasing a commercially available wine. It is to be preserved and used when the cap / seal body has good oxygen barrier properties.

The anti-oxidation structure of the contents of the glass bottle according to the second aspect of the present invention has an oxygen barrier property in which a wine-filled glass bottle is integrally provided with a ring-shaped protruding edge around the lower end after purchasing a commercially available wine. It is formed by fitting and covering a bag-shaped elastic sealing seal. In this case, there is no problem in selecting a glass bottle having a sealing cap seal of any material.

The antioxidant structure for glass bottle contents according to claim 3 of the present invention is used in a sealing process at the time of wine production. In a glass bottle having a cork stopper fitted in the opening, a ring-shaped protruding edge is integrally provided around the inside thereof, and a sealing cap / seal having an oxygen barrier property is provided outside the opening. The glass bottle contents are prevented from being oxidized by completely contacting the projecting edge of the opening and the ring-shaped projecting edge of the sealing cap / seal to completely shut off the contents of the glass bottle from the outside air. is there.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a structure for preventing oxidation of the contents of a glass bottle according to the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment for preventing oxidation of wine filled in the glass bottle.

[0010]

1 to 5, a cork stopper 12 is fitted into an opening 10a of a glass bottle 10 filled with wine w. This is an embodiment in which a sealing cap / seal 16 is fitted and covered on the outside of 10a and used for a wine glass bottle 10 generally sold. A ring-shaped elastic sealing seal 14 having an oxygen barrier property as shown in FIG. 3 is fitted around the lower end of the sealing cap / seal 16 to form the structure shown in FIG.

6 and 9, the structure for preventing oxidation of the contents of the glass bottle according to the second aspect of the present invention is such that a sealing cap 16 is fitted over the outside of the opening 10a of the glass bottle 10 filled with wine w. This embodiment is used for a wine glass bottle 10 that is generally sold.

In this case, the opening 10a of the glass bottle 10
The sealing cap / seal 16 is fitted and covered, and a bag-shaped elastic sealing seal 18 having an oxygen barrier property having a ring-shaped protruding edge 18a provided around the lower end portion so as to cover the entire outside is fitted. The structure shown in FIG. 9 is obtained by coating. Therefore, the ring protruding edge 18a of the bag-shaped elastic sealing seal 18 comes into close contact with the outer periphery of the glass bottle, and
The wine w inside is completely shut off from the outside air to completely prevent oxidation.

In FIGS. 7 and 10, the structure for preventing oxidation of the contents of a glass bottle according to the third aspect is an embodiment used in a sealing process at the time of wine production. A ring-shaped protruding edge 10b is integrally provided, and the opening 1
This is a structure used for a glass bottle 10 in which a cork stopper 12 is fitted in Oa.

After filling the glass bottle 10 with wine w, a cork stopper 12 is fitted into the opening 10a.

An outer periphery of the opening 10a is fitted and covered with a sealing cap / seal 19 having an oxygen barrier property provided with a ring-shaped projection 19a on the inner periphery, and the projection 10b of the opening 10a, The wine w in the glass bottle 10 is completely shut off from the outside air by bringing the ring-shaped protruding edge 19a of the sealing cap / seal 19 into contact.

[0016]

(1) As described above, according to the structure for preventing oxidation of the contents of the glass bottle according to the present invention, although the structure is extremely simple, the contents of the glass w in the glass bottle 10 are completely exchanged with air. It is excellent in blocking performance, and can prevent the wine w from being oxidized even if it is placed in a place with low humidity such as a refrigerator, so that deterioration of taste can be minimized.

(2) Further, the structure for preventing oxidation of the contents of a glass bottle according to the present invention can be used also in a sealing step at the time of wine production, and the protruding edge 10b of the opening 10a, the sealing cap and seal, and the like. Since the ring-shaped protruding edge 19a of the glass bottle 19 comes into contact, the wine w in the glass bottle is completely shut off from the outside air, and its oxidation can be prevented.
