Definitions
- the present invention relates to beverage containers for beverages that are under gas pressure.
- the drinks can be non-carbonated, low-carbonated or carbonated drinks.
- beer when opened and poured into a glass, beer should provide the most beautiful, stable foam crown possible.
- the drinks also include others, e.g. non-alcoholic carbonated drinks, with or without a foam crown, e.g. so-called "soft drinks” such as cola, carbonated lemonades and the like, or carbonated drinks that are to be stored in the container under a gas other than air, for example to prevent the oxidation of ingredients (e.g. Apple or orange juice, mixed milk drinks, tea, coffee). It is often desirable, but not essential (see apple juice example), that the container filled with the drink has a higher pressure than the ambient pressure.
- WO 91/07326 suggests that the gas container has flexible arms with flanges which fix the gas container at a predetermined position in an upper or middle region of the container via a press fit.
- WO 95/08493 it is proposed to attach the gas inner container to the bottom of the container with the aid of an adhesive. It is preferred that the gas container is open at the bottom and has a flange which essentially follows part of the bottom wall in its shape and is attached to it by means of the adhesive. However, in these cases there is a
- the gas container is a closed container with a flat bottom, which is glued in its middle part to the inside of the dome of the attached bottom part.
- An inexpensive, less pressure-resistant adhesive is sufficient for such an embodiment.
- the glue on the outside of the glue point is uneven, because the gap between the bottom and the gas container is getting bigger towards the outside.
- the adhesive comes into contact with the beverage, so that only food-grade approved adhesives can be used.
- the object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a beverage container with a gas container, the gas container being extremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture, and at the same time the attachment of the gas container in the beverage container and the filling of the container with gas and beverage being carried out relatively easily are.
- a container according to claim 1 which can receive or contain a gas under pressure and which has a gas container fastened to the inside of the container base, which has a base part consisting of an elastic material and an upper part, wherein the Bottom part is connected to the bottom of the container via a snap connection.
- the container itself can consist of a material that is customary for beverage containers. It can be, for example, a beverage can or a corresponding barrel made of aluminum or steel sheet; but it can also be a beverage container made of a plastic material such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polypropylene or another plastic that is compatible with beverages. Glass containers are also included in the invention.
- the containers can be manufactured in the usual way. For example, 2-part or 3-part beverage cans can be used.
- gas container is intended to express that the so-called inner container should at least partially contain gas when the beverage container is filled. Most of the time it also contains liquid: Usually, the filling of beverage containers of the type of interest here takes place by filling gas into the inner container, then filling the container with beverage and finally closing it. Depending on the design of the inner container, liquid can flow into the gas container during or after the closure due to the pressure equalization, which is explained in more detail below will be explained.
- the gas container of the present invention is located on the bottom of the container. Therefore, it is surrounded by liquid when the container is filled.
- the interior of the gas container is connected to this liquid in such a way that, when the can is filled and closed, the gas present in the gas container cannot escape into the surrounding liquid.
- this can be brought about by the fact that there are reversibly closed openings in the gas container, the sudden drop in pressure in the liquid when the can is opened destroying the closure or closures and allowing the gas to escape into the surrounding liquid.
- the gas container e.g. at least one and in particular two openings with only a small diameter, which is dimensioned such that in the state of the filled and closed container, the surface tension of the liquid prevents gas bubbles from escaping. This effect is known as the so-called "gas bubble point effect”.
- the gas container is a closed hollow body, it is hereinafter referred to as "forming an essentially closed cavity".
- At least the bottom part of the gas container should consist of an elastic material, for example plastic or metal.
- Bottom part and upper part can be integrally connected to one another, but they can also be made from different parts and then connected to one another, for example welded (eg friction welded), glued or connected via a snap lock.
- the upper part can, but does not have to be made of the same material as the bottom part. Since the gas container is located at the bottom of the beverage container, it is not absolutely necessary that it itself forms an essentially closed cavity. Instead, the gas container can be open at the bottom, provided that the connection to the floor around the opening is so tight that it meets the criteria of the "gas bubble point effect" described above.
- Figure 1 shows the lower part of a container 1 for a drink of the type mentioned.
- the curvature has an inner section 6, which is dome-shaped in this embodiment, but could also be flat.
- a second annular section 8, which is arranged closer to the bottom, has a smaller diameter than the first section, so that the container bottom is retracted at this point. Then the bottom widens outwards again down to another ring-shaped section 18, with which the container stands on the ground.
- the gas container 11 has a bottom part 4 and an upper part
- Part 5 which form an integral unit in this example.
- Two openings 19, 20 with a very small diameter are provided, one in the upper area and the other in a deep part of the side area. These openings should have such a small diameter that the
- the bottom part 4 of the gas container is open in the center in a circle, so that the dome-shaped section 6 of the container bottom closes off the interior of the gas container.
- the opening is not limited to the shape shown.
- the gas container could of course also comprise an essentially closed cavity.
- the connection between the bottom part 4 of the gas container and the container bottom 10 is effected in that the bottom part 4 has an annular section 3, which is adapted in its contour to a part of the dome-shaped section 6 and the annular section 7 of the container bottom 10 and the section 7 completely embraces. Due to the flexibility of the bottom part 4, a snap, sealing connection is made.
- Figure 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the gas container 11 in a container 1, which is designed as in Figure 1.
- the gas container here consists of an upper part 5 and a bottom part 4, which were formed from two parts and then joined together.
- the connection 2 shown is intended to illustrate an example of a snap lock or an adhesive connection.
- the bottom part 4 is closed, so that the gas container as such forms a substantially closed cavity, with the exception of the openings with a small diameter, through which the gas chamber communicates with the liquid chamber.
- the section 3 of the base part 4 can have an annular shape, so that the outer part of the base part 4 corresponds to the configuration described in FIG. 1.
- the section 3 can, however, also be present in the form of legs or feet which grip around the section 7 of the container bottom.
- the number of feet is variable: if the snap connection is very strong, two or three of these encompassing structures can be sufficient; but four or five or even more - then usually rather thinner - legs or feet can also be provided.
- a top view from below of the base part 4 in an embodiment with five feet is shown in FIG.
- leg-like or annular configuration is free as long as an adequate seal of the gas container is ensured.
- FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the invention, in which the container bottom 10 has a smaller bulge 13 in the center. It can be seen that the smaller bulge 13 has a first, annular section 7 with a somewhat larger diameter and a second, annular section 8 with a smaller one
- Diameter which is arranged closer to the ground. (The figure is not necessarily to be understood to scale; the proportions of the arch 13 are rather exaggerated.) This creates a neck that gives the arch 13 a mushroom-shaped shape.
- the section 3 of the base part 4 of the gas container 11 can snap around it.
- the section 3 of the base part 4 can be both several legs or feet (for example three relatively wide feet or five or six thinner legs or feet), but it can also be an annular structure that covers the section 7 of the container bottom 10 completely embraces.
- FIGS. 5b and 5c show a series of smaller indentations 13 which are circular are arranged on the bottom of the container. Each of these domes is snapped around by a section 3 of the bottom part 4.
- FIG. 5c shows an annular, groove-shaped arch 14, which is encompassed by an annular section 3 of the base part 4.
- a different number of bulges and / or other arrangements of the bulges are of course also possible.
- FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of the invention, in which the container bottom 10 has a strong arch, which in turn has a mushroom-shaped bulge 15 in the center.
- a mushroom-like or button-like section 3 of the base part 4 of the gas container 11 snaps into this bulge.
- a plurality of smaller bulges 15 can also be provided in the container bottom, which can be arranged, for example, as in FIG. 5b.
- a channel-shaped bulge 16 can also be present, into which a ring-shaped section 3 of the bottom part 4 of the gas container 11, which is mushroom-shaped in cross section, can then engage.
- the present invention encompasses beverage containers both before filling and after filling with the corresponding beverage and thus also both unsealed and closed.
- the invention further includes the gas containers as such.
- the beverage container is preferably filled as follows: First, the contents of the container are flushed with gas or filled with liquid gas.
- the gas can be chosen as required; however, nitrogen is often used. If the gas container as such forms an essentially closed cavity, the gas, preferably partially in the liquid state, can be filled into one or one of its openings while it is either already attached to the bottom of the container via the snap connection or before you snap it to the bottom of the container. The container is then filled with liquid. To flush a gas space above the liquid level, a further drop of liquid gas is preferably added before the can is closed. If it is subsequently turned upside down, in the preferred embodiments in which the gas container has two openings with only a small diameter, part of the gas can be transferred from the gas container into the
- Beverage containers escape while liquid penetrates into the gas container until the corresponding pressure equalization is completed. If the can is now opened again with the closed opening upwards, the sudden drop in pressure in the beverage and the resulting pressure difference between the inside of the gas container and the beverage allow gas to escape at high speed, causing the desired gas bubbles and possibly appetizing foam is generated.
