Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for have to be sealed s s under vacuum of Einkoch- used for household or jars, particularly those glasses which are provided with light, usually metallic covers, the edges of which are equipped on the inside with an elastic sealing layer, with which they rest on the upper glass edges.
  • the preserving jars of the aforementioned type which have been proposed and used to date are generally closed in such a way that a ring which can be screwed to the glass neck or a second screw-on lid is guided over the light lid mentioned and which more or less strongly adjusts the edge of the lid according to the intensity of the screwing Glass rim presses.
  • the subsequent cooking process heats the air that remains in the glass so that it expands and, if the intensity of the screwing permits, partially escapes and, when it cools down later, a negative pressure remains in the glass, which is intended to ensure that the glass is sealed is deficient insofar as the heated internal air of the glass can hardly escape if the screw is properly tightened, or if the glass is cooked in a pressure cooker (autoclave) the air cannot escape at all, because in this situation pressures and temperatures inside and outside the glass are practically the same are big.
  • the object of the present invention is to ensure the sealing of preserving glasses of the type described, especially those into which the separately cooked product has been poured hot, independently of the initial air volume and without using thermal processes.
  • the invention achieves the object as follows: A hood is placed over the glass opening, which is provided with a loose, light cover, and is supported tightly on the glass.
  • the interior of the hood is connected to a vacuum pump via a hose line, so that a vacuum is generated in the hood. Since the light cover lies loosely, the air in the glass will flow out.
  • a special valve ensures that after vacuuming, the atmospheric air only flows back into the interior of the hood after sufficient pressure has been exerted on the lid, which was originally free on the glass rim, to achieve an initial tightness between the lid and the glass rim.
  • the atmospheric air pressure that quickly builds up inside the hood and the resulting pressure on the lid ensures that the glass is permanently sealed.
  • 1 represents the preserving or preserving jar with the bead 2 and the threads 3 on the glass neck.
  • the light usually metallic lid 5, the edge of which is coated on the side facing the glass with an elastic, easily deformable sealing compound 6.
  • the hood 7 is advantageously bell-shaped for reasons of stability.
  • the device can be adapted to these differences. This is best done using adapter rings. These can be inside or outside the hood. In the present exemplary embodiment, the solution with an internal adaptation ring has been chosen, which is recommended for several reasons: the air volume to be pumped out remains smaller and the distance between the valve pin 23a and the cover 5 remains unchanged.
  • an annular groove 8 is provided in the interior of the hood 7.
  • a sealing ring 10 made of elastic material, such as rubber, ensures a tight fit on the bead 2 of the glass.
  • the shape of the outer edge 11 of the adaptation ring 9 corresponds to the bead 2 of a glass, the neck width of which corresponds to the hood 7. Without the adaptation ring, the hood 7 would sit with its sealing ring 12 directly on the bead of the correspondingly larger glass.
  • a knurl 13 is provided on its lower edge.
  • the pipe socket 14 is used to connect the connecting hose 15 to the vacuum pump, which is not shown here, but which can, for example, be a water jet pump, as described in my Swiss Patent No. 614165 from November 15, 1979. It is advantageous if the vacuum pump has a check valve so that when the pump is switched off, neither air nor operating water from the pump can flow back into the vented hood 7.
  • the special inlet valve for the atmospheric air is arranged in the middle of the hood 7.
  • the outer guide tube 16 of this valve is molded directly onto the hood.
  • the hollow valve cylinder 17 slides in it.
  • Two O-rings 18 ensure the seal between the guide tube 16 and the valve cylinder 17.
  • the valve cylinder is delimited at the bottom by the base 19, which limits the sliding path in the upward direction as a stop 20.
  • Small feet 21 projecting from the base 19 are provided so that free air circulation is ensured between the two when the valve base 19 contacts the cover 5.
  • a conical bore 22 is provided in the bottom 19, in which the frustoconical end 23a of the valve pin 23 sits tightly.
  • the guide jacket 23b of the valve pin 23 is more interrupted several times, so that air can flow past the valve pin to a sufficient extent, ie can flow through the channels 23c into the lower part 24a of the valve cylinder cavity 24.
  • the valve cylinder is closed at its upper end by the valve head 25 by means of a snap lock 26. The atmospheric air enters the valve cylinder cavity through the inlet openings 27.
  • the compression spring 28 which is biased to the required degree, fulfills two functions: on the one hand, it ensures a tight fit of the frustoconical end 23a of the valve pin 23 in the conical bore 22 and, on the other hand, it gives the current of the atmospheric air through the bore 22 only when the frustoconical end 23a of the valve pin 23 presses on the cover 5 with sufficient force.
  • the spring 29 is provided to hold the valve as a whole in its initial position, which is necessary so that the cover 5 can rise freely during the suction process. The dimensioning of the spring 29 must take into account the weight of the movable valve part, the friction of the 0-rings 18 and the pressure difference between the free atmosphere and the inside of the vacuum-sealed hood.
  • the mode of operation is as follows: the hood 7, which is connected to a vacuum pump via the hose 15, is placed over the opening of the glass 1, on the edge 4 of which the lid 5 lies loosely. An initial pressure on the hood causes it to sit tightly on the glass. As a result of the external overpressure which arises during vacuuming and acts on the hood from all sides, the hood is held tightly against the glass without outside help.
  • the vacuum pump provided with a non-return valve is switched off and pressed on the valve head 25.
  • the valve cylinder 17 lowers and the valve pin end 23a presses on the lid 5, so that its edge coating, the sealing compound 6, is pressed against the glass rim 4 .
  • Only when the appropriately dimensioned preload of the spring 28 has been overcome is the valve pin end 23a pushed back into the conical bore 22, so that the atmospheric air through the openings 27, the channels 23c and finally through the free space of the bore 22 into the interior of the hood 7 can flow.
  • the inflowing air creates there extremely quickly the atmospheric air pressure, which definitely keeps the glass 1 closed and releases the hood sucked on the glass.
  • the influence of the lid weight on the pressure difference between the hood and the glass interior is minimal. With an internal hood pressure of 70 torr and a lid weight of 6 pond and a glass neck rim diameter of 6 cm, the pressure difference is 0.156 torr, which is about 0.22%, which is practically negligible. At an external pressure of 730 Torr, the closing force acting on the lid would be approx. 25 kp in the present example, which corresponds to an absolutely secure closure of the glass.
  • adaptation to glasses of different sizes and neck widths can also be carried out by means of externally arranged adaptation rings.
  • These can be arranged, for example, in such a way that several such rings form a vessel of variable height which is closed at the bottom and into which the glass (1) to be closed is placed.
  • the hood (7) will no longer sit with its sealing ring (12) directly on the glass (1), but on the upper edge of the uppermost adaptation ring. This creates a tight vessel surrounding the glass on all sides, in which the required negative pressure is generated.
