Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a thermally regulated vessel, more particularly a bottle, designed to contain a beverage or a liquid or semidense substance of an alimentary nature, for example vegetables or dairy products, and provided with a device for cooling or heating in conditions of heat exchange with the internal volume of the vessel.
  • a thermally regulated vessel more particularly a bottle, designed to contain a beverage or a liquid or semidense substance of an alimentary nature, for example vegetables or dairy products, and provided with a device for cooling or heating in conditions of heat exchange with the internal volume of the vessel.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforesaid drawbacks, and said object is achieved thanks to the fact that the container of the cooling or heating substance is fixed to the bottom of the vessel, or of the bottle, via a forced pressure or restrained-joint coupling.
  • the container of the cooling or heating substance consists of a tubular cartridge inserted within a blind receptacle projecting from the bottom of the vessel within its internal volume, said cartridge having an enlarged end part that engages within the base of said receptacle.
  • the cartridge has side appendages for anchorage to the outer wall of the vessel, and in a third embodiment the container of the cooling or heating substance consists of a generally tray-shaped body within which the bottom part of the vessel is engaged.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view that is a schematic illustration of a thermally regulated vessel according to a first embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the modalities of assembly of the vessel of Figure 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of Figures 1 and 2 which shows the vessel in the assembled condition;
  • - Figure 4 is a view similar to that of Figure 3 but viewed from a different angle;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a first variant of the thermally regulated vessel according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a second variant of the thermally regulated vessel according to the invention.
  • the thermally regulated vessel consists of a bottle 1 made of plastic material suitable for use with foodstuffs, typically polyethylene, and designed to contain a fluid substance such as a beverage, or else a semi-dense liquid of an alimentary nature, for example, vegetables or dairy products.
  • the bottle 1 is provided, in a usual way, at its top end with a top or lid 2, and its bottom wall, designated by 3 has a central opening 4 from which there integrally extends a blind receptacle 5 projecting longitudinally within the internal volume of the bottle 1.
  • the receptacle 5 is prearranged for housing a tubular cartridge 6, which is also typically but not necessarily made of plastic material, which is sealed and contains within it a cooling or else heating substance.
  • Said substance consists conveniently of a eutectic mass with high storage of calories or, respectively, with high storage of frigories.
  • the cooling or heating substance can consist of a chemical product that can be activated for producing an endothermic or, respectively, exothermic reaction. In both cases, these are materials of a known type, the characteristics of which fall within the usual knowledge of a person skilled in the branch.
  • the tubular cartridge 6 has a general elongated cylindrical shape, complementary to that of the receptacle 5, and is preferably sized so as to provide an interference fit with the wall of said receptacle 5 when it is introduced axially therein, in the way represented in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the tubular cartridge 6 is prearranged for providing also a forced pressure or restrained-joint coupling with the bottom wall 3 of the bottle 1.
  • the tubular cartridge 6 has at its bottom end an annular enlargement 7, which, following upon insertion within the receptacle 5, couples by pressure or by slotting within the hole 4, in the way represented in Figure 3.
  • the container of the cooling or heating substance designated by 6a
  • the container 6a has with respect to the preceding embodiment a widened and shortened conformation, like the receptacle 5 within which it engages by interference fit.
  • the container 6a is moreover formed with a pair of opposed side appendages for anchorage 8, which engage by forced pressure or restrained-joint coupling the outer wall of the bottle 1, starting from its bottom wall 3.
  • anchorage 8 engage by forced pressure or restrained-joint coupling the outer wall of the bottle 1, starting from its bottom wall 3.
  • the number and arrangement of the side appendages 8 could differ from what is illustrated in Figure 5.
  • the container of the cooling or heating substance consists of a generally tray-shaped body 6b, within which the bottom part of the bottle 1, i.e., its bottom wall 3 and the contiguous area of its side wall, engages by forced pressure or restrained-joint coupling.
  • the bottom 3 of the latter can be conveniently formed integrally with an axial appendage 9 projecting outwards, which can be engaged within a central receptacle 10 of the tray- shaped body 6b.
  • assembling between the bottle 1 and the container 6, 6a, 6b of the cooling or heating substance can be performed without difficulty also using mechanized equipment that is not particularly complex, and said assembly has in any case the advantage of being extremely safe and reliable so as to prevent risks of mutual accidental or undesired separation.
  • the eutectic mass or other cooling or else heating substance housed within the container 6, 6a, 6b enables the contents of the bottle 1 to be kept at a temperature quite a bit lower or else quite a bit higher, respectively, than room temperature.
  • the amount and characteristics of the eutectic mass will be calibrated on the basis of the characteristics and the volume of the product to be cooled or else heated.
  • the fluid or semidense substances for which the thermally regulated vessel according to the invention finds advantageous application are multiple: in addition to beverages and to alimentary liquids or semidense fluids in general, it is possible to envisage also a convenient use in the sector of medical articles and pharmaceuticals, for example for proper conservation of medicaments, vaccines and organic and inorganic materials in general used in the medical field.
  • the thermally regulated vessel may consist, rather than of a bottle, for example of a flask, canister, tin, jar, or the like.
  • the conformation of the container of the cooling or heating substance could present any geometrical shape, and the corresponding forced coupling with the container may envisage systems of forced fit or coupling by pressure or restrained-joint fit different from the ones previously described and illustrated;
  • the container of the cooling or heating substance could also be located in other areas of the vessel;
  • the vessel could also consist of a simple glass
  • the container of the cooling or heating substance could also be englobed within the vessel.
