Description

Wine bottle gas leak prevention stopper}

The present invention relates to a gas leak prevention stopper that can block gas and fragrance mixed in the contents from escaping even after opening a wine bottle, etc., and more specifically, the inside of the housing body of the gas leak prevention stopper is divided into sections to provide an air inflow passage. By forming a wine outflow passage, when pouring wine into a wine glass, the air hole is opened so that the wine can be poured consistently without sloshing, and at the same time, it prevents alcohol gas and aroma from evaporating at once, and when storing remaining wine after opening, This relates to a wine bottle gas leak prevention stopper that allows alcohol gas and aroma to be maintained without being destroyed by acidification, so that even when drinking again, you can feel the taste and aroma of the wine as when you first opened the bottle.

In general, people who enjoy wine drink wine while enjoying the unique taste and aroma of wine.

In particular, the taste and aroma of wine vary greatly depending on the aging environment, period, and type of grape, and there are many different types, so people who enjoy wine find and enjoy the taste and aroma they prefer.

When packaging this kind of wine, the entrance is blocked with a cork stopper and the outer surface is wrapped with a thin metal to prevent internal gases and aromas from leaking out and becoming rancid during distribution and storage.

However, if a consumer purchases wine, opens it, drinks it, and then closes the remaining wine with the cork from which it was opened and stores it, when pouring the wine, a lot of the alcohol gas and aroma evaporate at once, and at the same time, external air flows into the bottle, causing oxidation and the wine. There is a problem in that the mixed gas and aroma leaks out, making it impossible to enjoy the original taste of wine.

Looking at the prior art in this field, the beverage bottle carbon dioxide gas leak prevention stopper (hereinafter referred to as "prior art") of Registered Patent Publication No. 10-208433 (announcement date March 3, 2020) is as shown in Figure 1. Likewise, a bottle locking protrusion (14) protrudes from the open upper side (11) where the housing milling (31) is fastened so that it is inserted into the open upper side of the beverage bottle (70) and sealed, and when the contents are consumed, the sealed state is opened and the outside air is released. a main housing (10) with an air inlet hole (16) penetrating in the center of the lower bottom so that the inflow of the beverage bottle (70) is allowed to be discharged to the outside; An operating weight (30) inserted into the open upper part (21) is located inside so that the pressure of carbon dioxide gas transmission from the sealed contents is suppressed by the load and distributed evenly, and the lower part is slanted and narrow like a cone and is soft. The valve coupling end 23, to which the airtight sealing valve 60 is integrally coupled, protrudes from the bottom and is exposed to the outside of the air inlet hole 16 of the main housing 10, so that during storage operation, the main housing 10 The air inlet hole 16 is automatically sealed to block the inflow of external air, and during the drinking operation, the operating weight 30 is moved according to the tilt of the beverage bottle 70, so that the main body housing 10 is moved. An opening/closing operation port (20) that automatically opens the air inlet hole (16) so that the contents of the beverage bottle (70) passes through the open air inlet hole (16) and is discharged to the outside through the air inlet hole (16); The open upper side 21 of the opening/closing operation tool 20 and the open upper side 11 of the main housing 10 are respectively fixed to a separation prevention cover 40 and a housing cover 50, and the separation prevention cover ( The operating separation protrusion 41 for maintaining a certain gap protrudes upward from the upper side of the 40), and the opening upper side 11 of the main body housing 10 above the operating separation protrusion 41 allows for the inflow and discharge of air from the outside. To allow this, a configuration in which a plurality of fluid passage holes 42 are penetrated in all directions around the central protruding withdrawal handle 51 has been disclosed.

The above prior art is a right owned by the present applicant, and the natural movement of the operating weight, which is an operating means to prevent carbon dioxide gas leakage, bound to the beverage bottle when the beverage bottle is opened and the contents, such as beer or other alcoholic beverages or carbonated drinks, is consumed. Accordingly, the air supply opening and closing function is activated to allow the contents to be discharged smoothly, and at the same time to prevent the carbonation and flavor present with the contents from evaporating at once. The carbon dioxide gas state of the contents is clearly maintained as when it was first opened, allowing the unique aroma and taste of carbonate to be maintained.

However, in the prior art, a plurality of gap maintaining protrusions are formed to maintain the gap between the opening and closing operation mechanism and the main housing, and a space is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the opening and closing operation mechanism to allow the contents and air to move together.

In the case of the above prior art, the contents and air are moved together between the opening/closing operation mechanism and the inner wall of the main body housing, so that when the beverage or alcohol is first opened, the contents are filled, so when the contents are poured after opening the lid, the opening/closing operation mechanism and the main body are filled. As the contents are leaked into the space between the inner walls of the housing in a lumpy state, the contents do not flow out in a steady manner, but instead pour out, causing a problem in that the contents scatter to the surroundings.

That is, in the case of beverages or alcoholic beverages, a predetermined pressure is formed inside the packaging bottle because it is filled with carbon dioxide gas or alcohol gas.

In this way, when the lid is opened and the contents are poured into the cup while it is filled with the contents, the pressure of the contents flowing out becomes greater than the pressure of the air flowing in from the outside, so when pouring the contents, there is no air inflow and the contents flow out. Because the contents pour out due to pressure, in the case of drinks with sugar and color or red wine, there is a problem such as splashing around the outside of the cup and staining the floor or clothing when spilled.

The packing valve 132 is coupled to maintain watertightness when closed and is released when opened, allowing the wine to move to the wine outflow passage 111 through the outflow hole 113.

A water seal 133 is installed on the edge of the outlet hole 113 to make it watertight when the valve 130 closes the outlet hole 113 to block wine from flowing into the wine outflow passage 111.

The housing cover 150 is installed on the top of the housing body 110, has a plurality of wine discharge holes 151, and has a handle 160 coupled to the upper surface.

The handle 160 is used when inserting and removing the housing body 110 into the mouth of the wine bottle 1.

At the end of the air inlet passage 112 formed on one inner side of the housing main body 110, a check valve 170 is installed to prevent wine from leaking into the air inlet passage 112 and to allow only air to flow in when pouring wine.

The check valve 170 is coupled to a cap member 171 having a plurality of through holes 172 and an operating piece 173 is coupled to the cap member 171 to open and close the through holes 172.

In addition, the housing cover 150 forms a plurality of discharge holes 151, and the central discharge hole 151 is formed larger than the other neighboring discharge holes 151 to allow wine to flow out smoothly.

That is, when pouring wine, when it is first opened, the wine is poured in a full state, and the flesh between the plurality of discharge holes 151 formed in the housing cover 150 and the discharge holes 151 plays a role in dividing the discharged wine. As a result, the discharged wine is not concentrated in one discharge hole, but is divided and the discharge flow rate can be reduced.

In addition, the handle 160 installed on the housing cover 150 is installed by combining the shaft hole 153 formed in the center and the handle projection shaft 161.

Figure 6 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which the valve of the operating weight member of the gas leak prevention stopper is opened and wine is poured as an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 7 is an exploded perspective view of the check valve installed at the end of the air inlet passage of the present invention. am.

Therefore, the present invention is a structure in which the original wine bottle cap sealed at the mouth of the wine bottle (1) is opened, a gas leak prevention cap (100) is installed, and a lid (101) is closed on the top to seal it. The lid is used to drink wine. When (101) is opened and the mouth of the wine bottle (1) is tilted toward the glass, the operating weight member (120) installed in the wine outflow passage (111) of the housing body (110) moves toward the mouth of the wine bottle (1) and the operating weight member ( 120) The valve 130 formed at the bottom is separated from the outlet hole 113, and the outlet hole 113 is opened.

As described above, when the outflow hole 113 formed at the bottom of the wine outflow passage 111 of the housing main body 110 is opened, the wine moves along the wine outflow passage 111 and passes through the discharge hole 151 of the housing cover 150. It leaks out.

The operating weight member 120 has a gap created between the housing body 110, the operating weight member 120, and the spaced guide projection 115 due to the spaced guide projection 115. The wine flows out through the discharge hole 151 of the housing cover 150 along this wine outflow passage 111.

At this time, the wine flows out through the outlet 151 of the housing cover 150 along the wine outflow passage 111, and at the same time, the air flowing into the air inlet hole 152 of the housing cover 150 flows through the air inlet passage 112. By opening the through hole 172 of the check valve 170 to form an air hole, the wine flows out consistently without gurgling.

The check valve 170 has the operating piece 173 coupled to the cap member 171 having a plurality of through holes 172, and when wine is discharged, a vacuum is formed in the wine bottle, and the wine flows through the wine outflow passage 111. ), the operating piece 173 opens and the through hole 172 of the cap member 171 opens to form an air hole, allowing air to flow in, so that the wine is poured smoothly without gurgling.

As described above, when pouring wine, the wine bottle is in a vacuum state without air, so when the wine is discharged, the operating piece (173) is lifted by the vacuum, and the through hole (172) opens to form an air hole, and the air flows into the through hole by the vacuum. As air enters the wine bottle, the wine inside the wine bottle flows out.

The cap member 171 is made of a small circular pipe, and a head part shaped like an umbrella is formed on one side, and a shaft hole is formed in the center of the head part so that the axis of the operating piece 173 is inserted and fixed, and the operating piece 173 is a cap member.

It becomes.

The head portion of the cap member 171 has a plurality of through holes 172 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft hole formed at the center to be connected to the air inlet passage 112.

A small protrusion is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the through hole 172 formed in the head portion of the cap member 171, so that the corresponding operating piece 173 is not completely adhered to and remains in a lifted state.

Therefore, when pouring the wine in the wine bottle (1), the air in the air inflow passage (112) flows into the inside through the hole (172) according to the flow rate at which the wine moves to the wine outflow passage (111), and at the same time, it follows the outflowing wine to the outside. As it is released, only a portion of it mixes with the wine in the wine bottle.

In other words, the amount of air flowing in is controlled by the siphon phenomenon in proportion to the speed at which the wine moves.

In this way, the present invention divides the interior of the housing body 110 of the gas leak prevention stopper 100 to form an air inlet passage 112 and a wine outflow passage 111, so that the air is controlled when pouring wine into a wine glass. It allows the wine to be poured consistently without slurping, preventing the wine from scattering around and landing on clothes or the floor as it is poured.

In addition, the present invention prevents oxidation when storing wine remaining after opening a wine bottle, so that alcohol gases, aromas, etc. can be maintained without being dissipated due to oxidation, and when drinking again, the taste and aroma remain as when the wine was first opened. Allow yourself to feel it.

The gas leak prevention stopper 100 of the present invention described above was explained using a wine bottle as an example, but it can be manufactured and used to suit the specifications of liquor bottles, carbonated beverage bottles, and beverage bottles.

In other words, the present invention has the advantage that it can be used regardless of the type of beverage if it is manufactured and used with the same structure to a size suitable for the liquid bottle inlet to be used.
