Description

A self-chilling container and a lid for such a container The invention relates primarily to a self-chilling container for a substance to be chilled comprising:
a. a wall or walls, a bottom end and a top end, notably a lid, for defining the container, which container is fillable with the sub-stance to be chilled;
b. a pressurized refrigerant cartridge, said cartridge having a diaphragm thereon which can be punctured for release of refrigerant out of said cartridge to cause cooling of the cartridge by refrigerant expansion, said refrigerant car- tridge being in thermal communication with the substance within said container so that cooling of said cartridge causes cooling of the substance within said container; and c. a piercer adjacent said diaphragm, said piercer being en- gageable with said container for piercing through said dia- phragm so as to release refrigerant from said cartridge to cause cooling of the substance in said container.
US 5,609,038 discloses such a self-chilling contain- er, wherein at least a portion of the container is a de- flectable portion which is resiliently deflected by pressuri- zation of the container, and the piercer is engaged with said container so that when said deflectable portion is released from its deflected position by release of pressurization of said container, said piercer pierces the diaphragm to release refrigerant from the cartridge to cause cooling of beverage in sald container.
US 5,447,039 discloses a cylindrical metallic con- tainer or beverage can having a top with a pop top lever open- er, a bottom, a cylindrical side wall, and a hollow interior; said pop top lever including a pointed lance member which in its unused position lies in a general plane of the pop top lever and which is foldable downward to its use position adapted to puncture said top upon the application of manual pressure downwardly on said lever.
Further a cylindrical shell structure is applied separate from said beverage can, which is slidable into a hollow interior close to a side wall inside sald beverage can, said shell structure comprising a thin wall containing an elongated serpentine passageway terminating in a reservoir inside of said top at a position to be punctured by said pointed lance when puncturing said top; said passageway being filled by a refrigerant which absorbs heat from its sur- roundings upon being exposed to atmospheric pressure.
Drawback of the prior art solutions is that they do not work, not to mention that they are very complicated and difficult to manufacture.
It is an object of the invention to remove the draw- backs of the prior art, and to provide an inexpensive, and easy to manufacture container for beverages or other substanc- es which are required to be chilled at the moment they are used.
According to the invention a self-chilling container as well as a half-product in a process of manufacturing such a self-chilling container are proposed in accordance with one or more of the appended claims.
In a first aspect of the invention the self-chilling container is provided with the feature that the piercer is mounted on one of the bottom and top ends, and is directly manually adjustable for moving the piercer up and down with reference to the end on which the piercer is mounted. The piercer could be mounted on the bottom end which may be pref- erable in case it is desirable to conceal the piercer. A most preferred solution is however to provide the piercer on the lid of the container. One of the benefits that the construc- tion according to the invention provides, is that the piercer is exactly controllable as to if and when it should be actuat- ed for piercing through the diaphragm so as to release refrig- erant from the pressurized refrigerant cartridge.
Preferably the piercer is provided with an outer screw thread, which is arranged to cooperate with an inner screw thread of a receptacle for the piercer, which receptacle is provided on the end of which the piercer is mounted. This promotes the accuracy and reliability of when the refrigerant is released.
Suitably the cooperating outer and inner screw threads are arranged to convert a (preferably) clock-wise ro- tation of the piercer into longitudinal movement of the pierc- er down into the diaphragm of the pressurized refrigerant car-
tridge so as to release refrigerant therefrom. It is of course also possible to work with a counterclockwise rotation to be converted into longitudinal movement of the piercer down into the diaphragm.
It is further beneficial that the piercer is provided with a handle which can be engaged by a person’s fingertips for rotating of the handle and the piercer connected to said handle.
To keep costs low it is preferable that the pressur- ized refrigerant cartridge is removably mountable on one of the bottom and top ends of the container for the substance to be chilled.
Also with a view to save on costs it is preferable that the receptacle for the piercer is embodied as a rivet mounted on the end of the container on which the pressurized refrigerant cartridge for cooling of the substance to be chilled is mounted.
Manufacturing of the self-chilling container of the invention is made easy by arranging that the piercer and the pressurized refrigerant cartridge are mounted on opposite sides of the lid of the container.
The invention is also embodied in a half-product in a process of manufacturing a self-chilling container according to the invention, wherein said half product is an assembly of a lid for a container, a piercer and a pressurized refrigerant cartridge, wherein the piercer and the pressurized refrigerant cartridge are mounted on opposite sides of the lid, prior to said lid forming a part of a complete container.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated with reference to the drawing of an exemplary embodiment of a container according to the invention that is not limiting as to the appended claims.
In the drawing: figure 1 shows a side view of a container according to the invention; -figure 2 shows a top view of the container shown in figure 1; figure 3 shows an isometric view of the container shown in figure 1;
-figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the con- tainer of the invention according to the line A-A in figure 1; and -figure 5 shows a detail of area B in figure 4.
Whenever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same parts.
The figures show (parts of) a self-chilling container 1 for a substance to be chilled. The substance can be a bever- age, such as a soda or beer, but it may also be a nonliquid substance.
The container 1 comprises in a known way a wall 2 (or walls), a bottom end 3 and a top end 4, notably a lid 47, for defining the container. The container 1 is fillable with the substance to be chilled.
Figure 4 shows that the container 1 further comprises a pressurized refrigerant cartridge 5 for refrigerant, such as liquid carbon dioxide. In more detail figure 5 shows that the cartridge 5 has a diaphragm 6 thereon which can be punctured for release of refrigerant out of said cartridge 5 to cause cooling of the cartridge 5 by refrigerant expansion. The re- frigerant cartridge 5 is in thermal communication with the substance within the container 1 so that cooling of said car- tridge 5 causes cooling of the substance within said container
1.
Further figure 4, and in more detail figure 5, shows a piercer 7 adjacent to the diaphragm 6, said piercer 7 being engageable with said diapraghm 6 for piercing through said di- aphragm 6 so as to release refrigerant from the pressurized refrigerant cartridge 5 to cause cooling of the substance in the container 1.
Figures 4 and 5 show that the piercer 7 is mounted on the top end 4, that is the lid 4’, but in principle the pierc- er 7 can be mounted on either one of the bottom and top ends 3, 4. Of course other parts of the self-chilling container 1 of the invention that are to cooperate with the piercer 7 then need to be relocated as well.
The piercer 7 is manually adjustable for moving the piercer 7 up and down with reference to the end 3, 4 on which the piercer 7 is mounted. Preferably therefore the piercer 7 is provided with an outer screw thread, which is arranged to cooperate with an inner screw thread of a receptacle 8 for the piercer 7, which receptacle 8 is provided on the top end 4 of the container 1 on which the piercer 7 is mounted. The said 5 cooperating outer and inner screw threads are preferably ar- ranged to convert a clock-wise or counterclockwise rotation of the piercer 7 into longitudinal movement of the piercer 7 down into the diaphragm 6 of the pressurized refrigerant cartridge 5 so as to release refrigerant therefrom. It is not necessary to provide a dedicated escape channel for the gas that leaves the pressurized refrigerant cartridge 5, because the outer screw thread on the piercer 7 provides a passageway for the gas. If quicker escape of gas is intended it is also possible to provide the piercer 7 with a longitudinal channel for re- lease of gas.
Preferably the piercer 7 is provided with a handle 9 which can be engaged by a person's fingertips for rotating of the handle 9 and the piercer 7 connected to said handle 9. As the figures show, the handle 9 can be flipped and lay on top of the top end 4 to save space.
Figure 5 clearly shows a preferable arrangement wherein the pressurized refrigerant cartridge 5 is by the use of a screw thread connection 10 removably mountable on the top end 4 of the container 1 for the substance to be chilled. Al- ternatively the connection could also be made with the bottom end 3 of the container 1, that is when the piercer 7 is also provided on that side.
In a suitable embodiment the receptacle 8 for the piercer 7 is embodied as a rivet mounted on the end of the container 1 on which the pressurized refrigerant cartridge 5 for cooling of the substance to be chilled is mounted; which is in the shown embodiment the top end 4, in particular the lid 4’.
From in particular figure 5 it will be clear that the piercer 7 and the pressurized refrigerant cartridge 5 are preferably mounted on opposite sides of the lid 4’ of the con- tainer 1. In accordance therewith the invention is also embod- ied in a half-product which is provided in a process of manu- facturing the self-chilling container according to the inven-
tion, wherein said half product is an assembly of a lid 4' for a container 1, a piercer 7 and a pressurized refrigerant car- tridge 5, wherein the piercer 7 and the pressurized refriger- ant cartridge 5 are mounted on opposite sides of the lid 4’, prior to said lid 4' forming a part of a complete container 1. Although the invention has been discussed in the foregoing with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the self-chilling container of the invention, the invention is not restricted to this particular embodiment which can be varied in many ways without departing from the invention. The dis- cussed exemplary embodiment shall therefore not be used to construe the appended claims strictly in accordance therewith. On the contrary the embodiment is merely intended to explain the wording of the appended claims without intent to limit the claims to this exemplary embodiment. The scope of protection of the invention shall therefore be construed in accordance with the appended claims only, wherein a possible ambiguity in the wording of the claims shall be resolved using this exem- plary embodiment.
