Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of inerting a container by injecting a neutral gas, and in particular a container containing a foodstuff, such as wine contained in a bottle, leftover cooked dishes or products. costs retained during storage and / or transport, in which the atmosphere contained in the container is substituted by the neutral gas.
  • a neutral gas such as wine contained in a bottle, leftover cooked dishes or products.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for inerting a container by injecting a neutral gas, and in particular a container containing a foodstuff such as wine contained in a bottle, leftovers of cooked dishes or products. costs retained during storage and / or transport, in which the atmosphere contained in the container is replaced by the neutral gas, for the implementation of this method.
  • a device for storing the contents of an opened bottle in particular a stopper which fits on a bottle for the purpose of preserving wine.
  • a device of this type is described by the European patent published under No. 1 204 555 B1 and includes a gas source and electrically operated mechanical valves for diffusing a neutral gas into an opened bottle containing a wine residue. The goal is to avoid the contact of the wine with the oxygen of the atmosphere, in order to avoid oxidations which lead to the degradation of this wine.
  • Electrically controlled valves require an electrical power supply, which makes the device heavy, cumbersome, expensive, and which reserves it almost exclusively for professional or semi-professional use and not for domestic use.
  • this device applies exclusively to the preservation of drinks and consists mainly of a cap adaptable to a bottle opened. Its construction does not allow it to adapt to other food containers such as leftovers of cooked dishes or fresh products such as fruits and vegetables.
  • one of the disadvantages of this system which is found in most systems of the same type having similar functions, is that it induces in the container an overpressure which, even slight, promotes the elimination of aromas volatile wines that are lighter than gas, while it is precisely to preserve these flavors by preventing an overpressure expels them out of the container.
  • the induced ventilation induces a current of air which partly sweeps away the aromas of the foods to be preserved.
  • the present invention proposes to overcome these disadvantages by providing a method and the device for the implementation of this method which allows to safely preserve the foodstuff by avoiding the risk of explosion of the container and / or an expulsion of the connecting member due to a blockage of the outlet valve, which can occur in existing systems.
  • the device of the invention can operate identically and repetitively from the first to the umpteenth use, regardless of the level at which the gas source is located. By design, it also has the advantage of behaving as a pressure reducer and thus work at constant pressure, which is not the case in known devices. Aromas are also well preserved because, unlike known devices, the movement of air generated in the container is very low and controlled.
  • said neutral gas is introduced inside said container at a pressure slightly greater than atmospheric pressure, and said radial passage is kept open during the entire operation to avoid any overpressure in said container.
  • the duration of the introduction of the neutral gas inside said container can be determined by a timer distributor which controls the closing of a pneumatic control valve serving as a communication valve of the chamber supply and said container.
  • the supply chamber is communicated with said container by actuating a pusher dispenser comprising a movable pusher integral with a piston arranged to actuate the pneumatically operated dispenser during said opening time commanded by said timer distributor.
  • a pusher dispenser comprising a movable pusher integral with a piston arranged to actuate the pneumatically operated dispenser during said opening time commanded by said timer distributor.

  • the means for introducing the neutral gas into the container are arranged to introduce said gas at a pressure slightly above atmospheric pressure and to avoid any overpressure in said container.
  • the means for avoiding any overpressure of the gas in said container comprise at least one radial passage to allow the escape of the atmosphere contained in this container, said radial passage being formed in said connecting member.
  • the connecting member comprises an anterior portion and a posterior portion, said anterior portion being axially movable relative to the posterior portion, and said radial passage is defined by the displacement of the anterior portion by compared to the posterior part.
  • this radial passage communicates, by means arranged in the rear part of the connecting member, with a fixed, substantially V-shaped passage formed in said rear part.
  • the anterior part of the connecting member may be composed of two elements, a first element, which is integral with a central tubular shaft formed in said connecting member, and a second element which slides axially on said rod. tubular central to provide between them a space of admission of the neutral gas in the container.
  • the timer distributor is preferably arranged to determine the duration of the introduction of the neutral gas inside the container by controlling the closing of a pneumatically operated distributor serving as a valve for placing the supply chamber in communication with said supply chamber. container.
  • said means for communicating the supply chamber of the connection member with said container comprise a pusher dispenser provided with a movable pusher secured to a piston arranged to port said feed chamber and the pneumatically operated dispenser during said open time controlled by said timing distributor.
  • said neutral gas can protect the foodstuff and replace the air contained in the container, said neutral gas is advantageously denser than air.
  • the process according to the invention consists in rendering inert the atmosphere in which there are foodstuffs that one wishes to preserve from the action of oxygen contained in the atmosphere.
  • it is intended to enable the atmosphere of a container to be replaced by a neutral gas that is denser than air by injecting a determined quantity of this neutral gas into a very low speed so as to avoid overpressure and turbulence.
  • the inerting device comprises a supply element and a connection member to the container, which will be described below.
  • the feed member comprises a source of releasable pressurized gas, preferably a stand-alone cartridge such as, for example, a cartridge containing a mixture of 80% Argon and 20% CO 2 .
  • This neutral gas is denser than air, it settles on the foodstuff and flushes air trapped in the container closed by the connecting member.
  • the inerting device 10 of the invention mainly comprises two independent elements, a connecting member 11 to a container 12 and a supply element 13 autonomous in neutral gas, hereinafter called feed element.
  • the supply element 13 and the connecting member 11 are arranged to be coupled in order to inject into the container 12 containing foodstuffs 14, a neutral gas making it possible to replace the atmosphere containing oxygen initially contained. in the container 12 by a neutral gas atmosphere preserving food.
  • the connecting member 11 has a valve function and the supply element 13 has a reservoir and metering function. It is intended to be partially engaged, like a plug, in an opening 15 formed in the lid or in a wall of the container 12.
  • This container may be in any form, in particular that of a box, a bottle, container, pouch or the like.
  • the connecting member 11 is shown in section by the Figures 2A and 2B respectively in the closed state and in the open state. It consists of two main parts, namely an anterior portion 20 and a posterior portion 21, the anterior portion 20 being axially movable relative to the posterior portion 21.
  • the anterior portion 20 has a generally conical shape mounted to the end of a central tubular shaft 22 provided with a central channel 23.
  • This anterior portion 20 is itself composed of two elements, namely a first element in the form of a tip 20a and a second element forming a valve 20b.
  • the tip 20a is secured to the central tubular shaft 22 and the valve 20b is axially sliding on the central tubular shaft.
  • an inlet space 24 which can be closed or open to allow the neutral gas to enter the container.
  • the opening of this space 24, that is to say the spacing of the tip 20a and the valve 20b, is controlled by the passage of the neutral gas.
  • the posterior portion 21 is of inverted frustoconical shape and is provided towards its base with an annular protuberance 21a for positioning the connecting member 11 on the container 12.
  • This axial offset opens a radial passage 27, which opens internally, through a cavity 26 formed in the rear portion 21 of said connecting member 11 and along the central rod 22, in a V-shaped fixed passage 28 formed in the rear portion 21 of the connecting member 11
  • a thrust spring 25, housed in the cavity 26, ensures, during the injection of the gas, an opening of the radial passage 27 sufficient for the air initially contained in the container 12 to escape properly through the fixed passage. 28 via the cavity 26.
  • the central tubular rod 22 carries a disc 29 which bears on a spiral spring 30, arranged to bias the disc 29, and therefore the central tubular shaft 22, upwards.
  • This spiral spring 30 serves as a return spring for returning the central tubular rod 22 to its initial position when the thrust exerted through the tip 16, which is part of the feed member 13, is released, which corresponds to at a position of closure of the radial passage 27, the front portion 20 and the rear portion 21 of the connecting member being contiguous, as shown in FIG. Figure 2A .
  • the operation of the connecting member 11 is as follows. Coupling of the connecting member 11 and the supply element 13 is performed by means of the endpiece 16. A pressure exerted on this endpiece by the supply element 13 axially displaces the central tubular stem 22, shifts the front portion 20 of the connecting member 11 relative to the rear portion 21 and opens the radial passage 27. In this way, the air contained in the container 12 can be evacuated.
  • the supply element 13 is activated, as will be described later, neutral gas is injected under a slight overpressure into the container 12 through the central tubular rod 22 and the admission space 24 formed between the tip 20a and the valve 20b. The pressure of the gas shifts the tip 20a of the valve 20b and has a tendency to close the radial passage 27. This tendency is, however, thwarted by the thrust spring 25 which maintains this radial passage 27 open and allows the air and possibly part of the neutral gas, to escape to avoid any excess pressure detrimental to the preservation of certain foodstuffs, including wine in a bottle opened.
  • the supply element 13 comprises a metering system 40, represented respectively by the views in axial section 3A and 3B, on which is mounted, removably, a cartridge 41 containing a pressurized neutral gas, intended to be injected into the the container to protect foodstuffs by avoiding any contact with oxygen.
  • This metering system 40 comprises a feed chamber 42 which initially contains neutral gas under pressure and whose upper wall constituting a piston 43, is integral with a hollow tubular piston rod 44, subjected to the pressing force of a compression spring 45. As long as the pressure of the gas is sufficient to thwart the force of the compression spring 45, the piston 43 and the rod 44 remain in the closed position, as shown more particularly by the figure 3A .
  • the upper end of the rod of the tubular piston 44 is then closed by the fact that it bears against a seal 46 of a chamber 47 which is in communication with a conduit 48 which penetrates inside the cartridge 41
  • the supply chamber 42 is supplied with neutral gas from the cartridge 41 as soon as the pressure inside this chamber becomes lower than a threshold which allows the compression spring 45 to push back the piston 44.
  • This chamber 42 operates mainly the function of compressed gas tank neutral constant pressure independent of the pressure of the cartridge 41.
  • the piston 43 moves and the dosing system goes to the open position ( figure 3B ). The gas can then pass into the hole of the rod 44 to supply the output of the metering system 40.
  • the metering system 40 furthermore comprises a pusher distributor 50, a pneumatic control distributor 60 and a timer distributor 70, the positioning of which in said metering system 40 is illustrated by the Figures 4A and 4B . These elements are intended to allow the implementation of all the functions of the device with the only energy of the neutral gas under pressure contained in the cartridge 41.
  • the pusher dispenser 50 is actuated by a pusher 50a which controls the supply of neutral gas.
  • a pusher 50a which controls the supply of neutral gas.
  • the pusher 50a When a user presses on said pusher 50a; the latter displaces a piston 51 housed in a chamber 52 which communicates, via a conduit 53, with the supply chamber 42 containing expanded gas. Due to this displacement, the gas can escape, as shown by the arrows M, in the extension 52a of the chamber 52 to escape through a conduit 54 to the pneumatic control valve 60.
  • this pneumatically controlled distributor 60 the gas from the pusher dispenser 50 enters, as shown by the arrow N, in a chamber 61 disposed at one end of this dispenser. As a result, it acts on a piston 62 which it moves in the direction of the arrow R, which has the effect of allowing the passage of the expanded gas towards a double duct 63, one of which channels the gas towards the container and the other channel directs the gas to a timing distributor 70.
  • the function of this timing distributor is to ensure the supply of expanded gas tank for a predetermined time with the only energy of the pressurized gas and without It is necessary to control the gas passages by electric valves or the like.
  • the gas from the pneumatically controlled distributor 60 is transmitted, via a rear chamber 71, to a timing tank 73 closed by a closure cap 74.
  • This reservoir 74 filling little to little, pushes a piston 72 in the direction of the arrow S to open a return passage of the pneumatic control valve 60.
  • the axes of the timing tank 73 and the timer 70 are arranged at 90 ° in the current construction as than represented.
  • the rear chamber 71 of the timing distributor 70 communicates with the feed chamber 42, when the pneumatic distributor 60 is in the activated position, that is to say after an action on the push-button distributor 50.
  • the timer distributor 70 has for aim of limiting the injection of neutral gas into the container by returning the pneumatic control valve 60 to its initial position.
  • the device of the invention makes it possible to perform all of its functions without any external energy input other than the pressurized neutral gas contained in the cartridge. As a result, it is completely autonomous and particularly compact. It adapts to various containers and can therefore be used for various applications. It is also very reliable because the slight excess pressure necessary for the introduction of the gas remains constant regardless of the level of the gas in the cartridge. Finally, its manufacturing cost is low and the consumable substance, namely the pressurized neutral gas, is currently available on the market.
