Description
MEDIDOR DE BEBIDAS PORTÁTIL PORTABLE DRINK METER
Sector de la técnica Technical sector
La invención enunciada se encuadra en el sector de los dispositivos o aparatos electrónicos portátiles destinados a controlar la dosificación de bebidas. The stated invention falls within the field of portable electronic devices or devices intended to control the dosage of beverages.
Concretando más el sector al que va dirigido, la invención enunciada se encuadra en el sector 10 de los dispositivos o aparatos empleados con el fin descrito anteriormente y cuyo control se realiza mediante el pesado. Further specifying the sector to which it is addressed, the enunciated invention falls within sector 10 of the devices or devices used for the purpose described above and whose control is carried out by weighing.
Estado de la técnica State of the art
A fecha de realización de la presente memoria, se tiene constancia de diversos tipos de dispositivos o aparatos destinados al control del consumo de bebidas mediante el pesado. At the date of realization of this report, there are several types of devices or devices intended to control the consumption of beverages by weighing.
Algunos establecimientos emplean aparatos tales como las básculas con el fin de realizar un inventario de existencias de cara a un control del estocaje. El proceso es tan sencillo como pesar las botellas al principio y al final de cada jomada al objeto de obtener un conocimiento de la cantidad de bebida consumida y la bebida existente. Some establishments use devices such as scales in order to carry out an inventory of stocks in order to control the stock. The process is as simple as weighing the bottles at the beginning and at the end of each jomada in order to obtain an understanding of the amount of beverage consumed and the existing beverage.
Actualmente no se tiene conocimiento de invención alguna la cual aúne las características técnicas y mecánicas de la invención enunciada. Currently there is no knowledge of any invention which combines the technical and mechanical characteristics of the stated invention.
Objeto de la invención Object of the invention
En la mayoría de los establecimientos hosteleros, el servicio en mesa o terraza al igual que en la propia barra, es el propio personal del establecimiento el cual se encarga de verter la bebida en el recipiente, realizando un control en la dosificación basándose en determinados criterios de medición como pueden ser el control visual del volumen servido o bien una cuenta de tiempo. In most hotel establishments, the service at the table or terrace, as well as at the bar itself, is the establishment's own staff who is responsible for pouring the drink into the container, carrying out a dosage control based on certain criteria of measurement such as the visual control of the volume served or a time count.
En referencia a los aparatos o dispositivos mencionados en el estado de la técnica, las básculas con escáner y método o simplemente la báscula presentan el
inconveniente de realizar tan solo la función de pesado, una función la cual unida a una determinada envergadura y peso del aparato obliga al establecimiento a disponer estos de forma inamovible en un determinado lugar. In reference to the devices or devices mentioned in the prior art, the scales with scanner and method or simply the scale present the The inconvenience of performing only the weighing function, a function which, together with a certain size and weight of the device, forces the establishment to dispose of them immovably in a certain place.
En lo que respecta al servido de mesa o terraza, los inconvenientes se acentúan más por el hecho de que el personal del establecimiento además de controlar la dosificación mediante los criterios expuestos anteriormente necesita de cierta destreza mental para controlar y gestionar las consumiciones servidas. As regards the table or terrace service, the drawbacks are further accentuated by the fact that the establishment's personnel, in addition to controlling the dosage through the criteria set forth above, need some mental skill to control and manage the served drinks.
La invención enunciada pues, tiene por objeto solventar los inconvenientes expuestos aportando un dispositivo el cual aúne una dosificación manual fiable con un control y una gestión eficiente de las consumiciones servidas en las mesas o terrazas. The invention set forth, therefore, is intended to solve the abovementioned problems by providing a device which combines reliable manual dosing with efficient control and management of the consumption served at the tables or terraces.
