Abstract

The invention constitutes an inventive solution in the packaging industry for packaging beverages, in particular for packaging fermented alcoholic beverages, and can be used especially in the case of packaging for wine known in the trade as "bag in the box", in which, the aim being to guarantee the quality of the wine held inside the flexible pouch (2), also known as the "bag", the latter is no longer placed inside the chilling equipment (Ge) together with the box (1), the box now having a decorative and commercial function, with the result that only the flexible pouch (2) duly fitted inside the support device (3) is placed inside the chilling equipment, and whereby transfer of heat (Ca) inside the chilling equipment (Ge), such as a wine cellar, gives a different effect and, consequently, ensures that, once removed from inside the wine cellar, this flexible pouch (2) contains wine that is at an ideal temperature for consumption.

Description

INVENTION PATENT DESCRIPTIVE REPORT

"SUPPORT APPARATUS APPLIED ON BOARDING STORAGE POCKET IN WINE FERMENTED DRINK PACK"

APPLICATION FIELD:

The present title patent and the object of description and claim of this title is an inventive solution in the field of application dictated by the beverage packaging industry, notably for the packaging of fermented alcoholic beverages, finding special application in wine packaging commercially identified as "bag in the box", increasingly present in commercial establishments such as restaurants, bars and related.

DEMAND OF INVENTION

Taking as a parameter the industry and trade of "bag in the box" inputs, the applicant identified in the wine market, notably when they are served by "servings" in bars and restaurants, an explicit need and why not to say mandatory for that such doses are served with the "wine" at the ideal temperature, considering that this type of consumer has as its characteristic the high level of pertinence to the quality of the drink / wine that will be tasting, since they are people, usually provided with differentiated understanding and sensitivity governing the practice and attitude of winemakers.

DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM

As identified in the demand of the invention the applicant has adopted as a development paradigm the "bag in the box" packaging from which he identified that to meet the identified demand to serve the wine at the appropriate temperature (which of course differs by type). wine, white, red, rose, grape type, etc.). It is mandatory to ensure that the "bag" packaging inside the box This temperature is considered ideal, and so remains so that when the serving of wine is served, it meets the expectations of the final consumer tasting.

In line with the demand of the invention and the development paradigm of the invention disclosed above the applicant has devised a new product in the form of a "holding apparatus applied to a storage bag loaded with wine-type fermented beverage packaging" with associated novelty. inventive activity, since it does not obviously or obviously result from other solutions known in the state of the art, differing from this one by presenting improvement from the point of view of efficiency in obtaining and retaining the ideal temperature for wine tasting and in addition using industrial applicability in view of the accuracy of the patentability requirements, mainly as a patent, as set forth in the dictates of the articles 8 and 13 of Law 9.279.

BACKGROUND ART:

In order to provide truth to the context explained in the introductory table, a brief explanation on the state of the art for wines marketed in "bag in the box" packaging will be presented, where it will be possible for a technician with expertise in the subject to recognize that while presenting excellence In its proposal to provide a wine dose service, it may recognize the applicant's technical considerations as its limiting aspects, notably as to obtaining the ideal temperature of the serving to be served, so as to discuss at a later time the added benefits of the application. the introduction of the unprecedented "bag-like receptacle holding apparatus" (better known in the technical jargon as "bag") which is the subject of claim in this cartouche.

State of the art: Traditionally, the "Wine" type fermented drink is presented for consumption in the form of bottles, known as "cask", with a matt color, which minimizes the exposure of the drink to the action of sunlight, and thus ensures the maintenance of quality (whatever) of the drink, where this procedure is explained by the consecrated sensitivity that somehow confers the nobility of this type of drink. From the bag in the box packaging: In recent times the winery-backed alcoholic and fermented beverage market has now provided the consumer public with its wines packed inside a flexible pouch, made externally from silver-colored material. , ie a reflective film reflecting light, thus minimizing the heat action and eliminating the light exposure action of the volume of wine contained within, and in addition this bag features a wine drainage device, in the form of a tap. In the last case, when properly filled with wine volume, it is deposited inside a box (hence the term "box"), which has a lateral opening for the fitting and fixing of the wine. tap.

How to use the bag in the box: The trader usually keeps the bag in the box inside a refrigeration equipment, such as a wine cellar, where he controls the temperature at which wine should be offered when "taster", which once served the dose a 'bag in the box' is taken back into the cellar.

Critical analysis: Although the "bag in the box" packaging solution fulfills its main function, whether it is "providing a tasting service for wine", it has an explicit limitation, as in the way it is presented and obtained. Maintaining the ideal temperature of wine consumption is not acceptable, where there is a need for a long time demand for this temperature to be obtained.

In the wake of the long time of obtaining the optimal wine tasting temperature inside the cellar, it is possible to explain as highly restrictive aspects the non-guarantee of being able to serve the drinker with the mandatory quality inherent in the consumption of the noblest of beverages, as well as gives high cost and energy consumption to achieve the ideal temperature ideal.

The problem reported above has as its identified cause the fact that the box itself, usually in cardboard paper, inside which is deposited the bag, where after study of this physical condition It has been clarified and consolidated that the solid faces of this box act as a barrier to the conduction of "heat" (cooling temperature) generated within the cellar to be captured by the reflective film and transferred to the wine itself.

PROPOSAL OF THE INVENTION

In light of the foregoing, the applicant has devised an unprecedented apparatus for supporting the flexible wine storage bag, which is offered as an additional element to bag-in-box wine packaging.

From the inventive activity: the practical result of using the unprecedented flexible bag support apparatus converges on the elimination of the restrictive aspects listed during practical observation in the field, ie, ensures that the wine inside the bag acquires quickly the ideal tasting temperature when placed inside a cellar, for example.

Of distinctive feature: it is translated as a guarantee of maximum uptake by the reflective surface of this bag by the internal heat generated in the cellar, where in a preferred embodiment the apparatus now claimed is formed by a tubular structure of elliptical section, provided at the bottom, whose interior accommodates the flexible bag (bag), where it also allows the fitting of the tap.

In turn, the efficiency in the transmission of heat generated inside the cellar to the reflective film of the flexible bag (bag) is guaranteed by the fact that the apparatus is made of its entirety of metallic material, admittedly excellent heat conductor, which guarantees a transition. With minimal loss of heat and consequently in a short time, the ideal "tasting" temperature is achieved inside the flexible bag.
