Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of drink and food industries, and in special it deals with removal of corks out of wine bottles.
  • the invention relates to a cover for a container according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method according to the preamble of claim 13, as known from US 3,135,410 .
  • the container is a bottle and the sealing member is a cork.
  • the compressed gas has initial pressure from 1.5 to 3.0 bar, and it includes air, nitrogen, or helium.
  • the cover includes safety means to prevent accidental activation of the gas channel mechanism.
  • the gas channel mechanism includes an elongated duct having a sharp end, the sharp end is adapted for penetrating the sealing member upon pushing of the elongated duct towards the container.
  • the portion of the sealing member penetrated by the sharp end is preferably 1-3 mm thick.
  • the gas channel mechanism preferably includes means for hiding the sharp end within the sealing member while the compressed gas pushes the cover outwardly, thereby preventing injury by the sharp end of a person opening the cover.
  • the elongated duct is preferably cylindrically shaped with an outside diameter from 1.0 to 2.0 mm.
  • the gas cell is cylindrically shaped with an outside diameter from 8 to 12 mm.
  • the sealing member is made of cork, wood, paper, polymer, or rubber.
  • the gas cell is made of aluminum, steel, or polymer.
  • activating includes the actions of rotating the gas cell relative to the ferrule, sliding the gas cell within the ferrule towards the container, breaking out a diaphragm sealing the gas cell, and penetrating the sealing member.
  • each of the verbs "comprise”, “include” and “have”, and conjugates thereof, are used to indicate that the object or objects of the verb are not necessarily a complete listing of members, components, elements or parts of the subject or subjects of the verb.
  • a cover 10 for a container 20 having internal volume 30 and an opening 40 is provided.
  • the container 10 is a wine bottle 20 having a cork 50 as a sealing member for opening 40 which is disposed at the end of bottleneck 55.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the opening of bottle 10, whereas a gas jet 60 is sprayed into the internal volume 30 above wine level 70, increasing the gas pressure in volume 30. The increased pressure pushes cover 10 outwardly, either completely or at least enough to allow a user to conveniently remove cover 10 by tilting cover 10 aside.
  • a rotating handle 80 which operation is explained bellow.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate the mechanism for spraying gas jet 60 into internal volume 30.
  • Fig. 2a depicts cover 10 at rest, before opening bottle 20.
  • Cover 10 includes cork 50 for sealing opening 40, a gas cell 90 containing compressed gas, and a gas channel mechanism 100 for constituting a gas channel between the gas cell 90 and the internal volume 30.
  • the compressed gas has an initial pressure level from 1.5 to 3.0 bar, and the gas includes air, nitrogen, or helium.
  • Cylindrical gas cell 90 preferably has an outside diameter from 8 to 12 mm.
  • a ferrule 110 is disposed between gas cell 90 and an interior part of cork 50, whereas gas cell 90 is slidably coupled to ferrule 110.
  • the gas channel mechanism 100 includes an elongated duct 120 having a sharp end 130.
  • Sharp end 130 is adapted for penetrating cork 50 upon pushing of elongated duct 120 towards container 10.
  • elongated duct 120 is preferably cylindrically shaped with an outside diameter from 1.0 to 2.0 mm.
  • the portion of cork 50 to be penetrated by the sharp end 130 is preferably 1-3 mm thick.
  • Duct 120 has an aperture 135 on a side, for connecting the duct interior to volume 140, which is enclosed between duct 120 and an enclosing annulus 145.
  • Duct 120 is attached to a cylinder 150, which in turn is attached to cylindrical post 155.
  • a spring 160 is disposed on post 155, supported by cylinder 150 on one end and limited by an housing 165 on the other end.
  • a diaphragm 170 seals a bore 175 in housing 165, and a thick elastic ring 180 encircles duct 120 outside housing 165.
  • activating the gas channel mechanism is made by slidably pushing gas cell 90 inside ferrule 110 towards bottle 20.
  • sharp edge 130 approaches the cork, there is some resistance to penetration and the end of post 155 breaks diaphragm 170. Consequently, the compressed gas residing in gas cell 90 expands into volume 185.
  • the movement of post 155, attached cylinder 150 and duct 120 towards the interior of gas cell 90 slides annulus 145 relative to duct 120 and exposes aperture 135 to volume 185. Consequently, the compressed gas flows into duct 120, as exemplified by gas flow line 190.
  • Bottle 20 may be opened either by total removal of cover 10 out of opening 40 by the pressurized gas, or by enabling the user to complete the cover removal by tilting the cover aside.
  • Gas channel mechanism 100 preferably includes means for hiding sharp end 130 while the compressed gas pushes cork 50 outwardly, thereby preventing injury by sharp end 130 of a person opening cover 10.
  • Thick elastic ring 180 of Figs 2 and 3 serves as an exemplary hiding means. While pushing gas cell 90 towards bottle 20, thick elastic ring 180 is pressed against cork 50 and becomes somewhat thinner. As pushing gas cell 90 stops and cover 10 gets out by the compressed gas, ring 180 expands enough to draw duct 120 into gas cell 90, hiding sharp end 130 inside cork 50.
  • Method 200 includes the step 210 of assembling a cover 10, and the step 220 of installing cover 10 on opening 40 for sealing.
  • Cover 10 includes a sealing member 50 adapted for sealing the opening 40, a gas cell 90 containing-compressed gas, and a gas channel mechanism 100 adapted for constituting a gas channel between gas cell 90 and internal volume 30.
  • method 200 also includes the step 230 of activating gas channel mechanism 100 to constitute a gas channel between gas cell 90 and internal volume 30.
  • cover 10 includes safety means to prevent accidental activation of the gas channel mechanism 100, as shown in Figs 5 and 6 .
  • Fig. 5a is an exploded view of gas cell 90 and gas channel mechanism 100.
  • housing 165 is screwed onto gas cell 90.
  • Two pins 250 are disposed on opposing sides of gas cell 90 close to the end receiving gas channel mechanism 110, and a slit 260 is made on the end of cell 90 opposite to the gas channel mechanism 100.
  • Fig. 5b is an exploded view of ferrule 110 and gas cell 90.
  • Ferrule 110 has two L-shaped slots on opposing sides close to the end of gas cell 90 receiving gas channel mechanism 110. Each slot has a longitudinal leg 280 and a transverse leg 290.
  • Gas cell 90 is inserted within ferrule 110 such that two opposing pins 250 get initially into two opposing longitudinal legs 280, and then moving along transverse leg 290, until resting in a safety position illustrated in Fig. 6a . To get out the rest position, a series of actions which could not occur accidentally should be taken as detailed below.
  • rotating handle 80 is attached to cover 10, preventing access to slit 260, as shown in Fig. 5c .
  • the user removes rotating handle 80 from cover 10, puts it in slit 260 and rotates gas cell 90 such that pins 250 move in transverse leg 290 until they access longitudinal leg 280, as shown in Fig. 6b . Then, the user pushes gas cell 90 towards bottle 20, such that gas cell 90 slides inside ferrule 110 with pins 250 moving along longitudinal slot leg 280 towards bottle 20. As duct 120 approaches cork 50, it is stressed back into housing 165, breaking diaphragm 170, and the activation of gas channel mechanism 100 propagates to constitute a gas channel between gas cell 90 and internal volume 30, as described above.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates an additional safety measure for preventing premature breaking of diaphragm 170.
  • two pins 300 are attached to gas cell 90, while two inverted wedges 305 are attached to duct 120.
  • a ring 310 is also attached to duct 120.
  • pins 300 and inverted wedges 305 are aligned such that duct 120 is kept away of diaphragm 170.
  • inverted wedges 305 move away of pins 300, allowing pins 300 to approach ring 310 , and thus allowing duct 120 to enter gas cell 90 and break diaphragm 170.
  • Fig. 8 it illustrates a flow chart of a method 350 for activating gas channel mechanism 100.
  • the method includes step 360 of rotating gas cell 90 relative to ferrule 110, step 370 of sliding gas cell 90 within ferrule 110 towards bottle 20 , step 380 of breaking out a diaphragm 170 sealing gas cell 90, and step 390 of penetrating cork 50 .
