RU222122U1 - CONTAINER FOR STORING CONCENTRATE AND QUICK PREPARATION OF COLD DRINK WITHOUT PRESERVATIVES - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to containers for storing concentrate, screwed onto bottles or similar containers, for the purpose of mixing, in particular, concentrate and water, and obtaining a drink consumed through the neck of the container. A container for storing concentrate and quickly preparing a soft drink without preservatives includes a body consisting of upper and lower parts. The upper part of the body forms an internal volume for placing concentrate in it and contains a bottom, in the central part of which there is a hole, shoulders and a closed neck with a threaded rim. The lower part of the body contains a horizontal wall with a hole in the central part and a cylindrical sleeve with an internal thread for the possibility of screwing it onto the threaded rim of the bottle and covering the neck of the bottle with the lower part of the body, and is closed from below with a protective element. In this case, the upper and lower parts of the housing are connected to each other to form a valve, which is activated to open or close by a limited rotation of the upper part of the housing relative to the lower part of the housing. The technical result consists in eliminating the obstacle to the movement of the concentrate from the container into the bottle with the possibility of repeatedly opening and closing the container to move the concentrate into the bottle.

Description

The present utility model relates to containers for storing concentrate, screwed onto bottles or similar containers, for the purpose of mixing, in particular, concentrate and water, and obtaining a drink consumed through the neck of the container.

Due to the fact that 6-15% sugar content in soft drinks is an ideal environment for the development of microorganisms and mold, a prerequisite is the addition of preservatives that protect the drink from the development of these pests and spoilage of the product. If the sugar content is 65%, then practically no microorganism can exist in this environment. The main advantage is the separation of the soft drink concentrate with a sugar content of 65% from water, in which it will be diluted and stirred only at the time of use of the drink. To do this, the concentrate that is necessary to obtain the drink, in a volume of 85-150 ml (depending on the concentration of sugar in the final product), in a volume of water of 500-1000 ml, which will be used to obtain the drink, must be kept separate from the water until stirring.

In the prior art there is known a liquid container with a closing dispensing device, equipped with a connecting piece for connecting the container to the dispensing device of another liquid container, a flap defining the liquid space and designed in such a way that when two containers are connected to each other, their liquid spaces are connected (see DE 102004013270 A1, published 09.29.2005).

A container is known from the prior art, consisting of a container for liquid, closed with an internal stopper, which is integral with the external thread of the neck. There is a cutter at the base of the plug, the other part of the container contains the solids and is equipped with a sealed feed nozzle, the nozzle is covered by a main membrane held in place by a cap, the outside of the container has a cap screwed down from the inside to match the threads on the other part, screwing the cap down first causes the membrane to be perforated with a knife , and further turns lead to the fact that the plug, separated from the sidewalls, falls into the liquid (see FR 2453793 A1, published 11/07/1980).

The disadvantage of the known analogues is the presence of a closure element surrounded by a break line, which breaks when the container interacts with the neck of the bottle during screwing. The closure element is released upon rupture and penetrates the bottle or moves to a position in which it prevents the contents of the dispensing device from flowing into the bottle.

A patent source of information is known from the prior art (see RU 2660067 C2, publ. 07/04/2018), in which a lid is opened, intended for connection with the threaded neck of a bottle or other container in order to move a liquid, paste or powder additive, for example, an organoleptic an additional component, mineral, coloring agent, flavoring agent or chemical additional component, such as a catalyst, reagent or surfactant, into the contents of a bottle or other container containing a body defining an internal volume for containing liquid, powder or a paste-like composition designed to be transferred into a container having a threaded neck, wherein said device has a skirt provided with threads corresponding to the threads of the neck of said container, and a valve connected to the inner surface of said body by means of a substantially annular peripheral region, it has a break line located between the peripheral region and the valve, wherein the annular peripheral region is configured to bear against an upper surface of the bottle neck as the skirt is screwed onto the threads of the container neck to cause at least partial disruption of said break line.

The disadvantage of the known analogue is the presence of a closure element surrounded by a break line, which is torn when the container interacts with the neck of the bottle during screwing. The locking element is released after breaking and prevents the additive from moving into the contents of the bottle.

The technical problem is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

The technical result consists in eliminating the obstacle to the movement of the concentrate from the container into the bottle with the possibility of repeatedly opening and closing the container to move the concentrate into the bottle.

The technical result is achieved in that the container for storing concentrate and quickly preparing a soft drink without preservatives includes a body consisting of upper and lower parts, the upper part of the body forms an internal volume for placing the concentrate in it and contains a bottom, in the central part of which there is a hole, hangers and a closed neck with a threaded rim, the lower part of the body contains a horizontal wall with a hole in the central part and a cylindrical sleeve with an internal thread for the possibility of screwing it onto the threaded rim of the bottle and covering the neck of the bottle with the lower part of the body, and is closed from below with a protective element, while the upper and The lower parts of the housing are connected to each other to form a valve that is activated to open or close by a limited rotation of the upper part of the housing relative to the lower part of the housing.

Each feature of the disclosed design of the claimed container is necessary, and together they are sufficient to ensure the achievement of the stated technical result.

The presence, in particular, of a valve formed by the upper and lower parts of the container body, activated to open or close by a limited rotation of the upper part of the body relative to the lower part of the body, makes it possible to prevent both the locking element from falling into the space of the bottle and, in general, preventing the movement of concentrate from the container into bottle due to the absence of incomplete opening of the locking element and the formation of a stagnant area in which the concentrate remains. Also, such a constructive implementation of the claimed container allows one to repeatedly open a passage for concentrate from the volume of the container into the volume of the bottle by means of limited rotation of the upper part of the body relative to the lower part of the body.

To improve the tightness, the neck of the upper part of the body is covered with a protective film, and to make it possible to reuse the container when consuming the resulting drink, the neck of the upper part of the body is closed with a lid screwed onto it.

For ease of opening and closing the container, the lid is made in the form of a push-pull lid.

The claimed model is illustrated by the following figures.

In fig. 1 - general view of the container,

in fig. 2 – explosion diagram of the container and bottle,

in fig. 3 – section А-А,

in fig. 4 – example of a push-pull lid.

A container for storing concentrate and quickly preparing a soft drink without preservatives, including a housing consisting of an upper (1) and lower (2) parts, the upper part of the housing (reservoir) forms an internal volume for placing the concentrate in it and contains a bottom (4), in the central part of which has a hole (5), shoulders (6) and a neck (7) covered with a protective film or lid with a threaded rim (8), the lower part of the body contains a horizontal wall (9) with a hole (10) in the central part and a cylindrical sleeve (11) with an internal thread for the possibility of screwing it onto the threaded rim (12) of the bottle (3) and covering the neck of the bottle with water with the lower part of the body, and is closed from below with a protective element, while the upper and lower parts of the body are interconnected to form a valve ( 13), activated to open or close by a limited rotation of the upper part of the housing relative to the lower part of the housing.

The valve is designed as a push-pull lid.

In this case, a threaded groove (14) is made on the upper part of the body, and a reciprocal threaded bulge (15) is made on the lower part of the body to allow them to rotate relative to each other through the formed thread in order to open the push-pull lid. The upper part (16) of the push-pull lid is cast integrally with the bottom of the tank. The lower part (17) of the push-pull cover is cast together with the horizontal wall (9). Between the “skirt” (18) and the cylindrical bushing (11) with the internal thread of the lower part of the body there are ribs (19) that fix the mechanism to the “skirt”. The lower part of the housing is covered from below with a protective film (20), which prevents contamination from reaching the bottom of the container and guarantees the hygiene and integrity of the packaging. The latches (21) of the push-pull cover set the maximum stroke to 4 mm.

The claimed device functions as follows.

The user purchases a container, removes the bottom protective element in the form of a film, unscrews the cap from the water bottle and screws the container onto the water bottle. Next, holding the upper part of the container body, turns it in the opposite direction clockwise and thus opens the valve between the two parts of the container body to allow the liquid concentrate to flow from the container into the water bottle. There is a stopper(s) on the valve that prevents the two parts of the container body from coming apart. The liquids mix with each other, and if they get loose, the process will accelerate. Next, the user removes the protective film from the container or unscrews the lid, or lifts the locking element of the push-pull lid and enjoys the cool drink. The used container is ultimately disposed of in a plastic waste bin.
