Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of beverage containers. It is known to provide beverages in conveniently sized containers to provide a sufficient amount for a single serving. Commonly beverages are provided in aluminium cans. These have the advantage of being light and easily formed. In general such cans may contain between 200ml and 400ml of beverage this being a convenient volume of consumption.
  • Beverages in cans may be soft drinks, often of the sparkling or aerated variety, or alcoholic beverages.
  • Such alcoholic beverages may be beer or cider for example.
  • an entire cabinet may be chilled to bring the temperature of a large number of containers of the beverage to approximately that required.
  • the containers of beverage may be placed in a refrigerator to chill the contents. However, it can take some time for the temperature of the beverage to be reduced to the desired temperature.
  • a common problem in the domestic situation is that cans, for example of beer, may need to be chilled quickly for a social occasion, such as watching a sporting fixture on the television. Placing the cans in a fridge may not reduce the temperature as quickly as desired.
  • One solution used is to place cans into a freezer. This may cause some problems in that many freezers are full and it may be difficult to find sufficient room to place the desired number of cans in the freezer.
  • Furthermore in the excitement of watching a sporting fixture or other entertainment it is easy to forget how long the cans of beverage have been in the freezer, which can have unfortunate consequences, should the contents freeze completely and the can burst.
  • a beverage container be constructed of a material that will withstand expansion of its contents if it should be frozen. Furthermore it is desired both that the container should allow rapid cooling of its contents in a fridge or freezer, and it should only allow a slow gain in temperature before and during consumption of the beverage.
  • a beverage container comprising: a side wall of a first material; and a projection extending into the container from one end of the container; the projection being formed of a second material of higher thermal conductivity than the first; the projection having an outer surface that forms an open recess in the end of the container.
  • the projection may have a base and a free end and may be tapered from its base to its end.
  • the free end of the projection may be pointed to form a tip.
  • the projection may be tapered or of substantially constant width over substantially the whole of its length.
  • it may be tapered over part of its length and of constant width over another part, preferably the remainder, of its length.
  • the recess may be tapered over substantially the whole of its length.
  • the recess may extend substantially over the whole length of the projection.
  • the present invention further provides a beverage container comprising: a side wall of a first material; a projection extending into the container from one end of the container; the projection being formed of a second material of higher thermal conductivity than the first; the projection having a width that decreases or remains constant over the whole of its length.
  • the projection may be tapered over substantially the whole of its length, or it may be tapered over part of its length and of constant width over the remainder of its length.
  • the projection may be tapered at a constant angle over substantially the whole of its length.
  • the length of the projection may be at least one tenth of the height of the container, or at least one sixth of the height of the container, or at least one quarter of the height of the container.
  • the projection may extend upwards from the base of the container.
  • the projection may be formed in a closure of the container.
  • the container may further comprise and end wall from which the projection extends, wherein the end wall is of a thermally conductive material.
  • the projection may be formed integrally with the end wall.
  • the end wall may include a flat contact area around the base of the projection on which the container can be stood.
  • the present invention further provides a cooling device for cooling a container of beverage, the device comprising a projection arrange to be located in a recess in the container and cooling means arranged to cool the projection thereby to cool the container of beverage.
  • the cooling device may comprise a base and a plurality of projections arranged to cool a plurality of containers of beverage simultaneously.
  • The, or each, projection may be tapered from its base to its end.

  • Figure 7 is a section though beverage a container in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 8 is a section though beverage a container in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 9 is a top view of the container of Figure 7
  • Figure 10 is a top view of a container according to a sixth embodiment of the invention.
  • a beverage container 1 comprises a main body Ia having a side wall 2 and a base 3, and a removable closure 4, having an end wall 4a and a side wall 4b.
  • the side wall 2 of the main body is made of a flexible material, in this case a plastics material.
  • the exterior surface of the side wall 2 is textured, in this case ribbed, having circumferential ribs 6 extending most of the way around the body Ia.
  • a portion 9 of the exterior surface of the body Ia is smooth in to allow printing of branding information, which is also covered by the shrink wrapping 7.
  • the base 3 of the container is formed of a thermally conductive material, that is at least more thermally conductive than the side wall 2 of the container body.
  • the base is made of a metal, specifically aluminium.
  • the base comprises an annular flat contact section 10, which is connected to the side wall 2 of the container body and forms the bottom end of the container, with a tapered projection 11 at its centre extending upwards into the interior of the container 1.
  • the projection 11 is hollow, having a recess or cavity 17 formed inside it, which is open at the bottom.
  • the projection in this embodiment is conical with its base on the base of the container and its tip about a third of the way up the container. It is therefore tapered continuously, i.e. decreasing in width, from its base to its upper end.
  • the base of the projection is about a third as large, in diameter, as the base of the container.
  • the cavity 17 extends over substantially the whole length of the projection 11 from its base to its tip 18.
  • the annular contact portion 10 and the projection 11 are formed integrally with each other as a one-piece component.
  • the container 1 In use, the container 1 is placed in a refrigerator or a freezer, preferably stood on a cold surface such that the contact section 10 of the base is in contact with that cold surface. Whether or not the base 3 is standing on a cold surface, the base will cool down the beverage in the container that is in contact with it more quickly than the beverage at other places in the container, because of its higher thermal conductivity. Referring to Figure 2, this sets up convection currents, with the beverage around the projection 11 moving downwards, and beverage abound the outside of the container moving upwards. It will therefore be appreciated that projection 11 helps with the cooling of the beverage in two ways.
  • the interior surface 15 of the extension 11 can be provided with radial ribs or grooves which may improve the rate of heat transfer through the heat sink 14, without interfering with the flow of the convection currents down the surface of the extension.
  • a cooling device is arranged for use with a number of the containers 1 of Figure 1.
  • the cooling device 20 is in the form of a tray 22 having a flat upper surface 24 from which a number of projections 26 extend upwards.
  • the projections are arranged to fit closely within the recess 17 in the bottom of the container 1, so that the out surface of projections 26 on the tray 22 is in contact with the part of the exterior surface of the container that forms the interior surface 16 of the recess 17.
  • the tray 22 and projections 26 are formed of a thermally conductive material, ideally a metal such as aluminium.
  • the tray 22 has a cooling element 28 within it, which may be a peltier cooler, that is arranged to cool the projections 26.
  • the cooling tray 20 can be used for example on a bar to keep a number of containers of beverage cool ready for sale and consumption. Alternatively it can be used in a domestic environment, for example to keep a number of containers of beverage cool in a position where there is no other convenient cooling mechanism such as a refrigerator, for example near a television or in the garden.
  • the cooling element is replaced by a reservoir of coolant such as glycol, such that the tray can be placed in a cool environment, such as a freezer, to cool the tray and the coolant, and then the tray can be removed from the cool environment and used to cool containers of beverage.
  • the reservoir of coolant then enables the tray to cool a number of containers of beverage before the tray warms up and needs re-cooling.
  • the temperature of beverage within the container 1 of Figure 1 was modelled assuming that the beverage at a temperature of around 20° C was placed into a cool environment at -4° C.
  • the volume of the container was divided into cells as shown in Figure 4b, and the temperature within each of the cells after ten minutes is shown in Figure 4a. It will be appreciated that the orientation of the table of Figure 4a is rotated through 90° compared to Figure 4b, with the cold area within the projection 11, which is at the bottom right of Figure 4b, being shown by the group of cells at the top right of Figure 4a. Corresponding results for a conventionally shaped container with no central projection are shown in Figures 4b and 4c. It can be seen that, with the container of Figure 1, a much smaller volume of beverage remains at the warmer temperatures and a higher volume is at the cooler temperatures.
  • a beverage container having a number of features corresponding to those of Figure 1, which are indicated by the same reference numerals increased by 100.
  • the main difference between this embodiment and that of Figure 1 is in the shape of the cooling projection 111 and the recess 117 formed in its underside. Specifically the projection, while still being conical, is broader, being about half as wide at its base as the base of the container, and somewhat shorter. Also the recess 117 is of constant cross section along its length, rather than being tapered, being therefore cylindrical in shape. The recess therefore only extends about a third of the way up from the base of the projection towards its tip 118.
  • the metal base 103 has an outer wall 103b that extends part of the way up the sides of the container.
  • the plastics body of the container (not shown) is attached to this outer wall towards its top edge 103a.
  • the main part of the container outer wall is again of plastics material, with a lower thermal conductivity than the base.
  • a beverage container in a third embodiment of the invention, comprises a main body 50 which forms the base 52 and side wall 54 of the container, and a closure 56.
  • the upper end of the body 50 is open and has a screw thread 58 around its outer surface.
  • the closure 56 comprises an end wall 60 which covers the open upper end of the body 50, and a depending side wall 62 with an internal thread 64 arranged to engage with the thread 58 on the body 50 to releasably secure the lid to the body.
  • the end wall 60 of the closure 56 has a flat annular outer portion 66, which forms the top end of the container, with an inner portion that extends downwards to form a projection 68 extending down into the body of the container.
  • the projection 68 is conical with its base being about half the diameter of the closure 56 and its height or depth being about a quarter of the height of the container from its base 52 to the end wall 60 of the lid.
  • the closure 56 is formed from a material of higher thermal conductivity than the body 50 of the container, in this case the body being of moulded plastics and the lid being of aluminium.
  • the container of Figure 6 functions in a similar manner to that of Figure 1.
  • the projection 68 quickly cools the beverage that is close to it and sets up convection currents, again flowing downwards in the centre of the container and upwards near its sides.
  • the container will be placed in a freezer or refrigerator with the closure 56 uppermost, but it can also be inverted so that it stands on its closure 56. This enables the closure 56 to conduct heat away from the beverage into a cold surface on which it is standing, as does the base of the container of Figure 1.
  • this container can also, when inverted, be used with a cooling tray similar to that of Figure 3.
  • a container has a body 150 and closure 156 which are the same as those of the container of Figure 6, except that the projection 168 in the closure 156 is larger. In this case it is over a third of the height of the container and its base is about two thirds of the diameter of the closure 156.
  • a further container also has a body 250 and closure 256 which are the same as those of the container of Figure 6, except that the projection 268 on the closure 256 in this case is shorter, extending downwards in to the container only about a sixth of the height of the container. While this embodiment will clearly not cool the beverage as effectively as the embodiments of Figures 6, and 7, the shape of the closure does still act to set up convection currents in the beverage within the container, and therefore is still effective in cooling the beverage. This is because the beverage at the outside of the top of the container is insulated from the cooling effect of the closure by the top edge of the container body 254, and so is cooled less than the beverage around the projection 268.
  • Figure 9 is a top view of the container of Figure 7, showing that the projection 168 is in the shape of a circular cone.
  • the projection 368 is still tapered continuously from its base to its tip, but in this case in cross section it has the form of a rounded cross. It will be appreciated that projections of other shapes are also possible, for example having the form of a square pyramid or a triangular pyramid. It will be appreciated that each of the projections in the embodiments described above is essentially tapered from its base, which is approximately level with the end of the container, to its tip.
