Definitions

  • THIS invention relates to a beverage container, and in particular to a beverage container for a carbonated beverage.
  • beverage containers Many different types are known.
  • Conventional beverage containers for carbonated beverages generally are hermetically sealed so that, prior to opening the container, the carbon dioxide in the beverage is retained within the container.
  • these types of containers include a removable cap or the like which breaks the hermetic seal when removed and which, once removed, cannot be replaced so as to properly seal the container. Accordingly, if the beverage is only partially consumed, carbon dioxide liberated from the remaining portion of the beverage is allowed to escape from the container, and the carbon dioxide content of the beverage is gradually depleted until the beverage becomes flat.
  • CONFIRMATION COPT Generally, the known types of beverage containers for carbonated beverages are designed for pouring a beverage out of the container. Containers having nozzles which can discharge a beverage in a jet are also known, but these types of containers typically form part of a relatively large apparatus for dispensing a beverage into a cup or the like.
  • a beverage container comprising:
  • a dispensing device in the form of an atomiser for dispensing the beverage from the beverage holder in a fine spray, the atomiser being movable between an open condition in which it allows the pressurised beverage to be discharged from the container, and a closed condition in which the beverage holder is hermetically sealed so as to capture the pressurised beverage within the container.
  • the beverage is a carbonated, alcoholic beverage.
  • the container includes a removable cap for covering and protecting the atomiser.
  • the atomiser carries a flexible extension tube for conveying the beverage to a user's mouth.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a beverage container according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a beverage container according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawings illustrates a beverage container 10 according to the present invention.
  • the container 10 includes a beverage holder 12 and a dispensing device in the form of an atomiser 14 connected to the top of the beverage holder.
  • the atomiser forms part of a container top 16 which is fitted to the top of the holder 12 so as to form a hermetic seal between the container top and the holder.
  • the holder 12 is formed from aluminium and the atomiser 14 is formed from a plastics material.
  • the atomiser includes a displaceable head 18 which projects upwardly, as shown, and which can be depressed in the direction of the arrow A.
  • the head 18 is biased into a raised position, as illustrated in Figure 1, in which the atomiser 14 is maintained in a closed condition. In this condition, fluid is prevented from flowing through the atomiser.
  • the atomiser 14 is drawn into an open condition for discharging fluid from the container.
  • a carbonated beverage (not visible) is introduced into the beverage holder 12 during the assembly of the container 10 so as to be held under pressure within the holder 12.
  • the carbonated beverage in this case is an alcoholic beverage such as, for example, whiskey and soda water. It should be appreciated though that other suitable carbonated beverages could also be contained within the holder 12.
  • a cap 20 is provided for covering and protecting the atomiser 14 when the atomiser is not required, for instance when the container 10 is transported or stored prior to use.
  • a pressurised beverage held within the holder 12 is dispensed by depressing the head 18 of the atomiser 14 in the direction of the arrow A. This draws the atomiser into the open condition and thereby allows the pressurised beverage to be emitted from the atomiser in a fine spray.
  • the head 18 is released so as to be biased back into the raised position, thereby closing the atomiser 14.
  • the atomiser is designed to hermetically seal the beverage holder 12 when it is in the closed condition. Accordingly, as long as the head 18 is in the raised position, carbon dioxide in the beverage is retained within the beverage holder 12.
  • FIG. 2 of the drawings illustrates another embodiment of a container according to the present invention.
  • a flexible discharge tube 122 extends from an atomiser 114 for carrying fluid from the atomiser into a user's mouth.
  • the container 110 illustrated in Figure 2 is similar in all other respects to the container 10 of the first embodiment of the invention.
  • the free end 124 of the discharge tube 122 is introduced into a user's mouth and the head 118 of the atomiser 114 is then depressed.
  • the beverage initially is discharged from the beverage holder 112 into the discharge tube 122, and thereafter is conveyed along the tube 122 directly into the user's mouth.
  • An advantage of the beverage container according to either of the embodiments of the invention described above is that the beverage holder in each case is hermetically sealed and therefore allows a user to consume a carbonated beverage over a relatively long time without the beverage becoming flat. Also, the beverage container of the invention allows a user to introduce a carbonated beverage into his or her mouth in a fine spray.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient pour boissons (10) destiné à une boisson gazéifiée. Le récipient (10) comprend un réservoir pour boisson (12), une boisson gazéifiée renfermée sous pression dans le réservoir pour boisson et un dispositif de distribution se présentant comme un atomiseur (14) et destiné à distribuer la boisson à partir du réservoir sous la forme d'un aérosol composé de fines gouttelettes. L'atomiseur (14) peut être déplacé entre un état ouvert dans lequel il permet de distribuer la boisson sous pression à partir du récipient et un état fermé dans lequel le réservoir pour boisson (12) est hermétiquement scellé pour retenir la boisson sous pression à l'intérieur du récipient.
