[0002] Cap / shutter for carbonated beverage bottles
[0004] Technique sector.
[0006] The present invention refers to a cap / shutter for carbonated beverage bottles, applicable in closing bottles of alcoholic beverages, such as wines, sparkling wines, cavas, beers or the like, during their fermentation; and flavoring the beverage during said fermentation.
[0008] Prior state of the art
[0010] The production of certain beverages such as wines, sparkling wines, cavas, beers or the like, involves fermentation phases; Specifically, in the case of cava, once the second fermentation has been carried out, a provisional stopper / obturator is placed, which is replaced by the definitive cork stopper / obturator after removing the grounds using the disgorging technique.
[0012] In utility model ES 1 078 703 U a bottle cap is described comprising a body with at least: a first piece of wood with a section suitable to be loosely inserted into the mouth of the bottle; and a second piece of elastic material, of a suitable diameter to fit snugly inside the mouth of a bottle, establishing the closure thereof; said second piece of elastic material being mounted on an intermediate zone or a posterior zone of the piece of wood.
[0014] Said plug has constructive characteristics aimed at saving space and production costs.
[0016] The union between the piece of wood and the elastic piece has several drawbacks; Among which it is worth mentioning: - that the wood can undergo contractions or expansions in contact with the drink, affecting the holding of the piece of wood in the stopper; -that an important part of the surface of the piece of wood is covered by the elastic piece, which reduces its ability to flavor the drink and - that the piece of wood must have certain dimensions to achieve the proper fit with the elastic piece, which increases the cost of the plug.
[0018] Therefore, the technical problem that arises is the development of a stopper / shutter for carbonated beverage bottles that allows to satisfactorily solve the aforementioned drawbacks; and that allows, on the one hand, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of an aromatizing element in the body of the stopper / shutter, as well as its retention in said assembly position for the time considered appropriate; without said flavoring element having precise measurements for its adjustment in the stopper / stopper and, on the other hand, ensuring that the bottled drink can be kept in contact with the entire surface of the flavoring element, improving the organoleptic properties of the drink in question.
[0020] Explanation of the invention
[0022] The cap / shutter for carbonated beverage bottles, object of the invention, is specifically intended for closing bottles of alcoholic beverages, such as wines, sparkling wines, cavas, beers or the like, during their fermentation.
[0024] This cap / shutter is of the type described in the preamble of the first claim, that is, it comprises a cylindrical, hollow body, closed at a first end, suitable to be inserted tightly into the neck of the bottle to be closed, and presenting at a second, opposite end, a manhole to its interior.
[0026] In order to achieve the proposed objectives, this plug / obturator comprises flexible, elastically deformable appendages at the mouth of the cylindrical body; for the introduction and subsequent retention inside the cylindrical body of a flavoring element for the beverage.
[0028] By defining these flexible appendages in the mouth of the cylindrical body of the stopper / plug, the task of introducing the fragrance element into the cylindrical body of the plug / plug is considerably simplified, since it is enough to press it in an axial direction to elastically deform the flexible tabs towards the inside of the stopper / shutter and overhangs them, the scent element being retained inside the cylindrical body by the flexible tabs themselves.
[0029] Another advantage that this plug / plug provides is that it is not necessary to carry out a precise sizing of the scent element so that it fits the cylindrical body of the plug / plug and that the plug / plug holds it; it being sufficient that said fragrance element has a smaller section than the cylindrical body to insert it loosely into its interior and that it remains retained inside said cylindrical body itself.
[0031] Another advantage of this stopper / shutter is that the drink can contact the entire outer surface of the flavoring element, increasing the flavoring capacity of the drink.
[0033] According to the invention, the flexible appendages are defined inside the mouth of the cylindrical body, and oriented in a radial or oblique direction, with which it is achieved that said appendages flex easily during the introduction of the scent element inside the stopper / obturator. .
[0035] According to the invention, the fragrance element comprises a piece of wood, preferably oak, although the use of other fragrance materials or other types of wood is not ruled out.
[0037] The stopper / stopper, with the exception of the fragrance element, is made of plastic material, and preferably of a one-piece body.
[0039] In this invention it has also been envisaged that the plastic material used in the manufacture of the body of the stopper / shutter is of a color selected from a series of colors associated with different residence times of the drink in the cellar.
[0041] This characteristic makes it possible to visually differentiate, by means of the cap / shutter used, the months or time that the beverage has been bottled in the cellar.
[0043] According to the invention, the first end of the cylindrical body is closed by a head with a larger section than the cylindrical body, or with a section substantially equal to that of said cylindrical body.
[0044] Brief description of the content of the drawings.
[0046] To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, the present specification is accompanied by a set of drawings in which, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following has been represented:
[0048] - Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of the cap / shutter for carbonated beverage bottles, according to the invention, which has at a first end a head of small height and greater section than the cylindrical body.
[0050] - Figure 2 shows a bottom plan view of the cap / shutter of the previous figure.
[0052] - Figure 3 shows an elevation view of the cap / shutter of the previous figures, sectioned along a vertical plane, closing a bottle.
[0054] - Figures 4 and 5 show both elevational and lower plan views of a second embodiment of the invention, in which the head of the plug / plug has a larger section than the cylindrical body and greater height than in the previous figures, presenting the plug / plug assembly a mushroom shape.
[0056] - Figures 6 and 7 show respective elevational and bottom plan views of a third embodiment of the cap / shutter of the invention, in which the closure head has a section practically coincident with that of the cylindrical body.
[0058] Detailed exposition of embodiments of the invention.
[0060] In the example shown in Figures 1 to 3, the cap / shutter object of this invention comprises a hollow cylindrical body (1), which is closed at a first end by a head (2) and which has at a second end , opposite, a mouth (3) for access to the interior of the cylindrical body.
[0062] In this embodiment, the head (2) has a larger section than the cylindrical body (1), forming a gripping area for the cap / shutter and a stopper for inserting said cap / obturator in the neck of a bottle (B) as shown in figure 3.
[0064] The mouth (3) internally has flexible appendages (4), elastically deformable and arranged radially.
[0066] These flexible appendages (4) allow the introduction into the cylindrical body (1) of a scent element (5) in a comfortable way, simply by pushing it in an axial direction through the mouth (3) towards the interior of said cylindrical body (1 ).
[0068] The fragrance element (5) is represented in this embodiment by a piece of wood, specifically oak.
[0070] In figure 3 it can be seen that the flavoring element (5), housed inside the cylindrical body (1) of the stopper / stopper, has its entire outer surface exposed and made possible for contact with the bottled beverage (not shown).
[0072] The head (2) of the stopper / plug, the cylindrical body (1) and the flexible tabs (4) are formed in a plastic material body, in this specific example in a one-piece body.
[0074] Said plastic material is of a color selected from a series of colors associated with different residence times of the drink in the cellar.
[0076] Figures 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the cap / shutter, which maintains the characteristics set forth above with the difference that the head (2) has a larger section than the cylindrical body (1) and is higher than in the figures. above, the plug / plug assembly presenting a mushroom-like shape.
[0078] Figures 6 and 7 show a third embodiment of the cap / shutter with the characteristics set forth above, with the exception that the closing head (2) of the first end of the cylindrical body (1) has a section practically coincident with that of said cylindrical body (1) and small height. In this embodiment, the cylindrical body (1) has a length substantially less than that of the plug / shutter shown in Figures 4 and 5.
[0079] Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as an example of a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential characteristics of the invention that are claimed below.
