Abstract
The present invention provides syneresis negation to capture the liquid separated from the gel so that only gel is dispensed from the container. The apparatus includes a reservoir, a hollow shell and a riser tube extending under the hollow shell. When the container holding the liquid separated from the gel is inverted for dispensing, the liquid rushes to the cap. The liquid flows over the hollow shell to the reservoir, which captures the liquid. The gel then covers the liquid and is forced up into the hollow shell and flows over the riser tube to be dispensed from the cap opening.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of co-pending application Ser. No. 61/982,928, filed Apr. 23, 2014, entitled SYNERESIS NEGATION APPARATUS.
- The present invention relates to an apparatus for control of syneresis and, more particularly, to an apparatus for use with a gel to control and contain a liquid which collects on the surface of the gel.
- Syneresis is extraction, expulsion or weeping of a liquid from a gel, as when whey collects on the surface of yogurt. Sometimes this process is desired, such as for gel filtration. However, other times syneresis is undesired, such as for condiments such as ketchup or mustard. Ketchup and mustard are often dispensed from a plastic squeeze bottle. When the ketchup and mustard have set for a period of time, a liquid separates from the ketchup or mustard and forms on the surface. When the bottle is inverted for dispensing of the ketchup or mustard, the liquid is first dispensed, which wets a hamburger bun or hot dog bun with the liquid, for example.
- Various ways to address the syneresis problem for condiments have been proposed, such as inverted containers that use the cap as the base such that the bottle is stored upside down. If the cap is not securely closed, the contents of the bottle may leak. Further, these bottles are often stored right side up, defeating the purpose of the inverted bottle.
- The present invention provides a syneresis negation apparatus that captures the liquid separated from the gel so that only gel is dispensed from the container. The apparatus includes a reservoir, a hollow shell and a rise tube extending under the shell. When the container holding the liquid separated from the gel is inverted for dispensing, the liquid rushes to the cap. The liquid flows over the shell to the reservoir, which captures the liquid. The gel then covers the liquid and is forced up into the hollow shell and flows over the riser tube to be dispensed from the cap opening.

FIGS. 1 and 2 , a prior art condiment bottle is generally indicated byreference numeral 20.Condiment bottle 20 includes acontainer 22 and cap 24.Container 22 holds agel material 26, such as ketchup, and aliquid 28 that has separated from the gel through syneresis. The cap 24 has an opening 30 through which thegel 26 may be dispensed. As shown inFIG. 1 , theliquid 28 is on top of thegel 26 in thecontainer 22 when thebottle 20 is in an upright position. - When the
bottle 20 is inverted as shown inFIG. 2 , theliquid 28 flows to the cap 24 first. When thebottle 20 is squeezed to dispense thegel 26, theliquid 28 is first dispensed from the opening 30 in the cap 24. - As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure. The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention and illustrate various objects and features thereof.
- Certain terminology may be used in the following description for convenience in reference only and will not be limiting. For example, the words “upwardly,” “downwardly,” “rightwardly,” “leftwardly,” “upper,” and “lower” may refer to an installed position (as shown in the drawings) of the item to which the reference is made. The words “inwardly” and “outwardly” may refer to directions toward and away from, respectively, the geometric center of the embodiment being described and designated parts thereof. Said terminology may include the words specifically mentioned, derivatives thereof and words of a similar import.
- Referring to
FIGS. 3-11 , a syneresis negation apparatus of the present invention is generally indicated byreference numeral 40. Syneresisnegation apparatus 40 includes acap 42, which presents areservoir 44 for holding a liquid when in an inverted position. Thecap 42 includestreads 46 for engaging the mouth of a bottle. Ariser tube 48 extends through the center andtop 50 of thecap 42 presenting anipple 52 and from thebottom side 54 of the cap. Theriser tube 48 extends approximately one-half to one inch from thebottom side 54 of thecap 42. Adome 56 is secured to theend 58 of theriser tube 48 opposite thenipple 52 byribs 60 or webbing, for example. The diameter of thedome 56 is larger than the diameter of theriser tube 48. Thedome 56 is a hollow half-sphere. Although the illustrations depict a hollow hemispherical dome structure, other configurations, shapes and structures may be used. For example, a hollow tetrahedron, polyhedron, pyramid, semi ellipse, cone, frustoconical shape, cylinder, or any number of hallow shells or structures known to one of ordinary skill in the art may be used to cover theend 58 of theriser tube 48. - Referring to
FIGS. 12-15 ,cap 42 may include alid 62 connected to thecap 42 at ahinge 64 or other pivotal structure. Thelid 62 may include a cylindrical,complementary mating cap 66 to cover and seal thenipple 52 in the closed position. - Referring to
FIGS. 16 and 17 , a sectional view of thesyneresis negation apparatus 40 is illustrated secured to acontainer 68 holding agel 70 andliquid 72. As shown inFIG. 16 , the liquid 72 has separated from thegel 70 by syneresis. In the upright position the liquid 72 is lighter than thegel 70 and forms on top of the liquid 72. - When the
container 68 is inverted, the liquid 72 flows to the top of the container to thecap 42. The liquid flows over thedome 56 and collects in thereservoir 44. Thegel 70 flows over thedome 56 and into thereservoir 44 covering the liquid 72, flows under 74 thedome 56 and over 76 theend 58 and through 78 theriser tube 48 and out 80 through thenipple 52 to present thegel 70 without the separatedliquid 72. - It is to be understood that while certain now preferred forms of this invention have been illustrated and described, it is not limited thereto except insofar as such limitations are included in the following claims.
