Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a napkin particularly for wine-waiters and more generally for serving wine at the table, typically known in Italian as "frangino".
  • such napkin is used to carry and present the bottle to the table of the customer, to clean its neck after removing the capsule, and to clean its mouth of any residues of cork after removing the cork.
  • the napkin is used to collect any drops that might flow along the bottle and thus dirty the body of the bottle, the label and/or the table.
  • the napkin used for this purpose has a light color (typically a white base), so as to allow the person who serves the wine, typically the wine-waiter, to also use it as a background to assess the color of the wine.
  • a light color typically a white base
  • the napkin is then stored next to the bottle, to be picked up whenever it is necessary to pour the wine from the bottle into the glasses of the customers.
  • napkins made of fabric generally cotton, linen or otherwise natural fibers, are currently used usually as "frangino"; though being widely used, they are not devoid of drawbacks.
  • the corners are tied together so as to provide a tubular body which is intended to surround the body of the bottle. It is in fact important to be able to associate uniquely the napkin with the bottle so as to prevent it from being taken inadvertently by a waiter if needed.
  • Another particularly annoying drawback that is currently observed relates to the tendency of the napkins that are used to become dirty very quickly, since they are generally light-colored.
  • wine stains are so-called "difficult" stains; this determines the need to use high washing water temperatures (up to 90 °C) and very often aggressive and particularly fragrant detergents in order to cover the odors of food, lipstick, et cetera.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a napkin, particularly for wine-waiters, which allows to eliminate or at least reduce drastically the drawbacks noted above in the napkins usually used for this purpose.
  • an object of the present invention is to offer a napkin, particularly for wine-waiters, which can be associated rapidly, effectively and elegantly with the bottle.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a napkin particularly for wine-waiters which is capable of ensuring more convenient use.
  • Another object is to provide a napkin particularly for wine-waiters which can be more resistant to stains with respect to the ones currently used and at the same time is easily washable.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a napkin particularly for wine-waiters which can be washed at low temperatures and by using neutral detergents, so as to allow optimum use without the risk of contaminations from residual odors or heavy fragrances.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a napkin particularly for wine-waiters which has a very simple structure and not only has a competitive production cost but also provides savings during its use, so that its use is advantageous also from an economical standpoint.
  • a napkin particularly for wine-waiters, characterized in that it comprises a sheet-like element which is provided with at least one annular region which can be arranged around at least one portion of the body of a bottle.
  • said at least one annular region has a closed shape and is adapted to be fitted around the neck of the bottle and/or around a portion of a bucket for containing the bottle.
  • a napkin particularly for wine-waiters is generally designated by the reference numeral 1.
  • the napkin 1 has a sheet-like element 2 provided with at least one annular region 3 which can be positioned around at least one portion of the body of a bottle 4.
  • the annular region 3 has a closed shape and is adapted to be fitted around the neck 4a of the bottle 4.
  • the sheet-like element 2 of course can be made of fabric: in this regard, it has been found that it is particularly advantageous, for reasons that will be explained better hereinafter, to use a fabric that contains polyester and in particular a fabric composed of a polyester weft and a polyester microfiber warp or vice versa.
  • the sheet-like element is also made of cotton, linen or other natural or synthetic fibers.
  • the annular region 3 is formed around at least one through opening 5 formed in the sheet-like element 2 and conveniently arranged substantially at a peripheral portion 6 of said sheet-like element 2.
  • the sheet-like element 2 has at least two regions 7 and 8 in mutually different colors.
  • the two regions 7 and 8 in different colors may be obtained by providing at least two bands which are substantially parallel to each other, each having a respective through opening 5.
  • the sheet-like element 2 is obtained by providing three bands, each of which has a through opening 5.
  • Two of such three bands form the region 8 in a first color and a third band forms the region 7 in another color.
  • the region 7 is provided in a light color (white, ivory, or similar colors) and is used, while serving, as a base for assessing the color, while the region 8 is provided in a darker color (ruby, red, violet even pink) and parts of such region 8 are used to perform the operations for cleaning the bottle 4 or collecting the drop from the bottle neck 4a.
  • the sheet-like element 2 further has a plurality of through openings 5; as shown, by moving the napkin 1 from the unfolded condition shown in Figure 1 to the folded condition shown in Figure 2, the two or more (three, in the illustrated case) through openings 5 substantially align with each other, so as to form said annular region 3 which can be fitted around the neck 4a of the bottle 4.
  • the through opening or openings 5 can have different shapes: for example, they can be constituted by a circle or they can have an oval or elongated shape.
  • the through openings 5 have a so-called teardrop shape.
  • the through opening or openings 5 can have a reinforced rim 10 provided for example by stitching or hemming.
  • the sheet-like element 2 can be further provided with at least one decoration portion 12, which can be customized by providing embroidery or the like.
  • embroider or print on such decoration portion 12 an image (and the object of such image can be changed after a certain period of time) and/or the emblem or trademark of a winemaker or restaurant or markings related to particular cultural or sports events or markings of sponsors of events.
  • the wine-waiter shall take care to use the darker-colored region to clean the mouth or dry it of any drops so as to keep the lighter-colored region candid and clean, so that it can always be used as a background or base for analysis of the color of the wine.
  • a napkin is provided which is easily washable even and especially at low temperatures and with delicate and neutral detergents, so as to prevent it from being impregnated with odors and/or perfumes that are unwanted during use.
  • the annular region can be provided by means of an open loop, which can optionally be widened and can be connected, by means of a tape or similar element, to a conventional napkin.
  • the materials used, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions may be any according to requirements.
