Description
Various kinds of carbonated liquid, such as "COCA-COLA" and "7-UP", are the most common and popular beverages nowadays. The compressed carbon dioxide in carbonated beverage provides a familiar feeling to thirsty consumers. Carbonated beverage is generally on sale in containers such as airtight cans or bottles packaged for the preservation of compressed carbon dioxide.
The most popular capacities of the bottled carbonated beverage are one liter, two liters and even three liters. It is because the large capacity of the bottle package is relatively cheaper in price and beneficial to environmental protection. Most family and company consumers purchase the bottled carbonated beverage and store such in a refrigerator. However, all the current containers of the carbonated beverage bear serious shortcomings described hereafter.
The carbonated beverage containers, cans or bottles, are airtight before opened. Once the consumer opens the airtight container, the airtight structure between the cap and the bottle is broken and the whole can or bottle of carbonated beverage is exposed to the atmosphere. Due to the atmospheric pressure, a large amount of compressed carbon dioxide will be forced to escape to the atmosphere.
For canned carbonated beverage, the consumer has to finish the whole can immediately, otherwise almost all the compressed carbon dioxide in the remaining beverage will escape to the atmosphere after a while, that the remaining beverage will become flat.
For bottled carbonated beverage having a capacity more than a liter, if the consumer cannot finish the whole bottle of carbonated beverage immediately after it is opened, no matter how tight the cap being rescrewed to the bottle, the remaining carbonated beverage will gradually lose its content of carbon dioxide due to leakage. Moreover, every time when the cap is opened again every time to pour out the beverage, a large amount of carbon dioxide may escape to the atmosphere. Therefore, the remaining beverage in the bottle may soon become flat.
To install a secondary smaller container to a large holder or container for containing fluid substance therein is a known art. Various dispensing devices have been disclosed in numerous of U.S. patents, including Sebalos's U.S. Pat. No. 4,313,477, Morris, Jr's U.S. Pat. No. 4,105,142, Wiesner's U.S. Pat. No. 4,005,807, Fazeka's's U.S. Pat. No. 2,356,755, Mask's U.S. Pat. No. 2,985,343, Scypinski's U.S. Pat. No. 1,223,207, and Arnold's U.S. Pat. No. 652,992. However, none of them is designed to adapt for carbonated liquid dispensation. In accordance with the above prior arts, none of the devices includes any specified configuration or feature for preserving carbon dioxide content in carbonated liquid. Moreover, the installation of dispensing devices known in art to a bottle or similar container must be carried out after it is opened. The closed isobaric dispenser of the present invention can be installed to a carbonated liquid bottle before it is unseal to open. Furthermore, the user can unlock and relock the airtight cap of the bottle within an airtight chamber provided by the dispenser of the present invention, so as to prevent any leakage of compressed carbon dioxide to the surrounding atmosphere. However no patent nor other prior art has been located and shown the combination of purposes and advantages of the present invention.
Summary of the Invention
The main object of the present invention is to provide a closed isobaric dispenser for carbonated liquid, which defines an airtight closed chamber affixed to a holder head of an unopened airtight bottle or holder of carbonated liquid in airtight manner, so as to enable the user to unlock the holder cap within the airtight closed chamber and fill the airtight closed chamber with the carbonated liquid. The airtight closed chamber provides an isobaric environment, so that the compressed carbon dioxide in the carbonated liquid can be prevented from escaping or leaking to the surrounding atmosphere.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a closed isobaric dispenser for carbonated liquid, wherein the user can relock the holder cap to the holder head opening within the airtight closed chamber before consuming the carbonated liquid therein. Since the dispensation of the carbonated liquid is carried out in the airtight closed chamber, the carbon dioxide can be preserved from escaping to the surrounding atmosphere. It is fundamental to the preservation of carbonation since the amount of carbon dioxide kept within the carbonated liquid is determined by the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide in the space right above the carbonated liquid in the bottle or holder. Thus the present invention can conserve the compressed carbon dioxide content of the carbonated liquid during consumption. Moreover, the number of times of dispensation has virtually no effect on the preservation of carbonation.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a closed isobaric dispenser for carbonated liquid, in which the dispensation is under the same pressure between the bottle (or holder) and the airtight closed chamber, hence there are no ejection and no vigorous foaming during the dispensing process, so that the carbon dioxide content within the carbonated liquid can be preserved.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a closed isobaric dispenser for carbonated liquid, in which the amount of carbonated liquid dispensed arbitrarily depends upon the capacity of the airtight chamber. Hence the carbonated liquid can be consumed in a very economic way while the carbonation of the carbonated liquid is well preserved.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a closed isobaric dispenser for carbonated liquid, which is affixable to a capped opening of a carbonated liquid containing bottle or holder in airtight manner. The closed isobaric dispenser comprises a container, a connecting adaptor and a cap opener. An interior space of the container forms an airtight closed chamber. The container has an inlet opening for the carbonated liquid flowing from the bottle or holder into the airtight closed chamber, and an outlet access for dispensing the carbonated liquid within the container.
The outlet access is secured with a detachable sealing means in airtight manner. The detachable sealing means is adapted for equipping with the outlet access to constantly close and to selectively open the outlet access to allow the dispensation of the carbonated liquid within the container. The container is adapted to be firmly secured to the carbonated liquid containing bottle or holder by means of the connecting adaptor in airtight manner, wherein a cap of the bottle or holder is positioned inside the container and the inlet opening of the container can be operated to provide a flowing path of liquid flow communication with the holder opening.
The cap opener, which is disposed coaxially with the cap within the airtight closed chamber, and comprises a cap sleeve and an operating handle coaxially connected to the cap sleeve. The cap sleeve is adapted to engage with the cap, so that by rotating the operating handle, the cap sleeve drives the cap to rotate simultaneously so as to unscrew the cap apart from the holder opening to enable the carbonated liquid flowing from the holder into the container, i.e. the airtight closed chamber.
When predetermined volume of carbonated liquid is poured out from the holder to fill the airtight closed chamber, the cap can be firmly resecured to the holder opening by means of the cap opener. Then the carbonated liquid within the closed chamber can be dispensed via the outlet access by removing the sealing means. Since the dispensation or consumption of the carbonated liquid is carried out in the airtight closed chamber, carbon dioxide content in the carbonated liquid may not escape to the surrounding atmosphere and thus the compressed, carbon dioxide can be virtually preserved regardless the number of times of dispensation.

Detailed Description of the Invention
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a closed isobaric dispenser for carbonated liquid of the present invention is associated with a carbonated liquid containing bottle or holder 10 which has a holder head 11 and a cap 12 with inner thread. The holder head 11 generally has a holder opening 13 with outer thread 14 for securing with the cap 12 to close the holder opening 13, and a periphery rim 15 radically protruded below the outer thread 14.
The closed isobaric dispenser comprises a container 20, a connecting adaptor 30 and a cap opener 40. The container 20 is affixed to the capped holder opening 13 of the carbonated liquid containing holder 10, in airtight manner, by device of the connecting adaptor 30. The cap 12 is positioned inside the container, as shown in FIG. 2. The container 20 is a cylindrical hollow case which has a narrowed end to form a connecting sleeve 21. The interior space of the container is then forming an airtight closed chamber 200. The connecting sleeve 21 forms an inlet opening 210 which is adapted to be operated to provide a flowing path of liquid flow communication with the holder opening 13, so that the carbonated liquid can be flown from the bottle 10 into the airtight closed chamber 200 of the container 20. The connecting sleeve 21 further provides an inner periphery shoulder 211 protruded inwardly and radically from an inner surface of the connecting sleeve 21. Between the periphery shoulder 211 and a free end of the connecting sleeve 21, an inner sleeve thread surface 212 is formed. A gasket 213 is adhesively attached underneath the shoulder 211.
The container 20 further comprises a hollow outlet tube 22 inclinedly connected thereto. A free end of the outlet tube 22 has an outer thread portion 221 and forms an outlet access 220 for dispensing the carbonated liquid within airtight closed the chamber 200 of the container 20. The outlet access 220 is secured by a detachable sealing means 23 in airtight manner. The sealing means 23 is equipped with the outlet access 220 to constantly close and to selectively open the outlet access 220 for allowing the dispensation of the carbonated liquid within the container 20. The sealing means 23 comprises a seal cap 231 with an inner thread surface 232 and a sealing gasket 233 attached to a bottom of the seal cap 231. Thus, by screwing the seal cap 231 to the outer thread portion 221 of the outlet tube 22 until a tip edge of the outlet tube 22 pressing on the sealing gasket 233, the outlet access 220 is airtight sealed by the seal cap 231.
The other end of the container 20 enlarges its diameter to provide a connecting collar 24 which inner surface provides an inner thread portion 241 adapted to be secured with a container head in airtight manner 50. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the container head 50 comprises a cylindrical cap body 51 protruding an outer threaded portion 511 and a central hole 512. The container head 50 further comprises an outer periphery circular lip 52 for rotating the cap body 51 to secure with the connecting collar 24 of the container 20 by screwing the outer threaded portion 511 of the cap body 51 to engage with the inner thread portion 241 of the connecting collar 24 of the container 20.
The outer periphery circular lip 52 of the container head 50 has a diameter larger than the diameter of a cap body 51 and is downwardly extended from the top outer edge of the cap body 51, so as to define a ring groove 53, which has a width slightly larger than the thickness of the connecting collar 24, between an inner surface of the lip 52 and an outer circular surface of the connecting collar 24 of the container 20. Therefore, a top portion of the connecting collar 24 is interposed between the lip 52 and the connecting collar 24, as shown in FIG. 2. The outer circular surface of the lip 52 is indented to form an indentation surface 521 for easy gripping while rotating the container head 50 to engage with or detach from the container 20. A bottom of the ring groove 53 forms a receiving room 531 which has a width larger than that of the groove 53. A seal gasket 54 is firmly attached to the receiving room 531. Therefore, an airtight connection can be achieved by downwardly screwing the cap body 51 of the container head 50 into the connecting collar 24 of the container 20 until the top edge of the connecting collar 24 is pressed onto the seal gasket 54.
The cap body 50 has U-shaped cross section and a bottom surface providing a circular hollow stem 513 for elongating the central hole 512 for coaxially holding the cap opener 40 in position. An inner tubral surface of the stem 513 has an O-ring groove 514 for receiving a sealing O-ring 55 in position.
The cap opener 40 which is disposed coaxially with the holder cap 12 within the airtight closed chamber 200, comprises a cap sleeve 41 and an operating handle 42 coaxially connected to the cap sleeve 41.
The operating handle 42 comprises an operating head 421 and an operating rod 422 which is penetrated through the elongated central hole 512, in airtight manner, by means of the O-ring 55. One end of the operating rod 422 is integrally and coaxially connected with the cap sleeve 41 while the other end of the operating rod 422 is joined with the operating head 421 by means of an engagement latch 422.
The cap sleeve 41 is a circular ring like body having an inner diameter equal to or slightly larger than an outer diameter of the cap 12. An inner edge of a free end of the cap sleeve 41 forms a guiding inclined edge for guiding the cap sleeve 41 onto the cap 12 coaxially. A plurality of linear driving crests 411 are inwardly protruded from an inner circular surface of the cap sleeve 41, The driving crests 411 are parallelly and evenly spaced with each other. Each of the driving crests 411 has a jutting base portion 412 for engaging with the corresponding linear indentations 121 formed on the outer circular surface of the cap 12 of the holder 10, and an inclined slopping end portion 413 for enabling easy sliding between the cap indentations 121. Furthermore, each driving crest 411 defines a longitudinal sharp crest 414 so as to form a triangular cross section, as shown in FIG. 4. Thus, the driving crests 411 is capable of longitudinally sliding and pressing between the corresponding linear indentations 121 so as to provide frictional holding force for engaging the cap sleeve 41 with the holder cap 12.
Referring to FIG. 1, the connecting adaptor 30 is adapted to mount the container 20 upon the holder head 11 in air tight manner, which comprises two identical and symmetrical half units 31, 32 coupled with each other to form a cup like body. Each of the two units 31, 32 comprises a semi-circular connector 311, 321 having a height shorter than the height between the bottom end and the shoulder 211 of the connecting sleeve 21. Each of the units 31, 32 further comprises a driver means 312, 322 attached to the connector 311, 321 for the operator to hand hold and rotate. An outer periphery of each connector 311, 321 of each unit 31, 32 forms a half portion of securing thread 313, 323. When the two units 31, 32 are connected face to face to form a cylindrical body, the two half threaded portions 313, 323 are coincided with each other to form a complete circular thread surface adapted for meshing with the inner sleeve thread surface 212. An inner periphery of each connector 311, 321 forms a curve concavity 314, 324 with a smaller upper radius adapted to abut upon an exterior curve surface of the holder head 11 for ensuring proximate mounting thereon.
Each of the driver means 312, 322 of the two units 31, 32 comprises a base portion 315, 325, which is extended radically and outwardly from a bottom of the connector 311, 321, and a vertical driving wall 316, 326, which has a height higher than the connector 311, extended upwardly from an end of the base portion 315. Therefore, a vertical receiving semi-circular groove 317, 327 is defined between the connector 315, 325 and the driving wall 316, 326, which has a width larger than the thickness of the connecting sleeve 21 of the container 20, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Each end of the connectors 311, 321 and the driver means 312, 322 integrally defines a flat coupling surface 318, 328. Each outside periphery of each driving wall 316, 326 of each unit 31, 32 provides a longitudinal indentation surface 319, 329 for easy gripping.
The connecting adaptor 30 further comprises a joint means 33 for holding the two units 31, 32 to prevent longitudinal displacement therebetween. According to the present embodiment, the joint means 33 comprises a plurality of plugs 331 and sockets 332 integrally formed at predetermined and correlated positions of the flat coupling surfaces 318, 328 of the units 31, 32. Since the units 31, 32 are symmetrically configured, each plug 331 protruded on each unit 31, 32 is confronted with a respective socket 332 indented on the other unit 31, 32, so that when the two units 31, 32 are coupled with each other to form a cup like body, the plugs 331 are inserted into the respective sockets 332.
Before unlocking the airtight bottle cap 12 of a carbonated liquid containing bottle 10, the two units 31, 32 of the connecting adaptor 30 are mounted to the holder head 11 by coupling with each other. Thus the connecting adaptor 30 is fully installed. In this instance, the container 20 is able to secure with the connecting adaptor 30 by screwing the connecting sleeve 21 to the complete circular thread surface formed by the two half portions of securing thread 313, 323 until the rim 15 of the holder head 11 of the holder 10 urging against the gasket 213 attached to the shoulder 211 of the container 20. Such that the holder 10 and the container 20 are easily and firmly connected together in airtight manner by means of the connecting adaptor 30.
In accordance with the configuration disclosed above, to unlock the cap 12, the operator can first simply push the cap opener 40 downward until its cap sleeve 41 is engaged with the cap 12. Since the cap sleeve 41 is adapted to firmly engage with the cap 12 due to its sloping driving crests 411, by rotating the operating handle, the inner driving crests 411 of the cap sleeve 41 which are engaged with the outer indentations 121 of the cap 12, can drive the cap 12 to rotate simultaneously to unscrew the cap 12. In this instance, the holding force between the cap 12 and the holder head 11 is released. Then, the cap opener 40 can be pulled upwardly to lift the cap 12, which is engaged within the cap sleeve 41, until it is detached apart from the holder opening 13. Thus, the carbonated liquid in the holder 10 is able to pour into the airtight closed chamber 200 via its opening 13. When predetermined volume of carbonated liquid is poured out to fill the airtight closed chamber 200, the cap 12 can be downwardly pushed down to the opening 13 by pushing the cap opener 40 and firmly resecured to the opening 13 by rotating the cap opener 40. Afterward, the carbonated liquid within the closed chamber 200 can be dispensed via the outlet opening 22 by releasing the sealing means 23. Since the dispensation or consumption of carbonated liquid is carried out in the airtight closed chamber 200, carbon dioxide may not escape to the surrounding atmosphere. Therefore, the compressed carbon dioxide can be virtually preserved regardless the number of times of dispensation.
Defining alternatively, the present invention is a method of dispensing carbonated liquid and preserving its compressed carbon dioxide content, the method comprising the steps of: (a) mounting a closed isobaric dispenser onto a holder opening, which is secured with a cap in an airtight manner, of a carbonated liquid containing holder, in which the dispenser has a cap opener, a sealed outlet access and an airtight closed chamber that the holder cap is positioned therein; (b) unlocking and removing the cap to open the holder opening by means of the cap opener within the airtight closed chamber of the dispenser; (c) pouring the carbonated liquid in the holder to the airtight closed chamber; (d) locking the cap of the holder to the holder opening by means of the cap opener within the airtight closed chamber: (e) unsealing the outlet access and dispensing the carbonated liquid in the airtight closed chamber through the outlet access; and (f) resealing the outlet access.
The following advantages can be achieved according to the present invention:
(1) The airtight locking between the cap 12 and the holder opening 13 of the carbonated liquid containing bottle or holder 10 will be broken after the first unlocking of the cap that the compressed carbon dioxide in the holder 10 may start to escape to the surrounding atmosphere during consumption. According to the present invention, a closed isobaric dispenser for carbonated liquid which defines an airtight closed chamber is affixed to the holder head of an unopened airtight holder of carbonated liquid in airtight manner, so that the user can unlock the cap within the airtight closed chamber and fill the airtight closed chamber with the carbonated liquid. The airtight closed chamber provides an isobaric environment, so that the compressed carbon dioxide of the carbonated liquid can be prevented from escaping or leaking to the surrounding atmosphere.
(2) The user can relock the cap to the holder head opening within the airtight closed chamber before consuming the carbonated liquid therein. Since the dispensation of the carbonated liquid is carried out in the airtight closed chamber, the carbon dioxide can be preserved from escaping to the surrounding atmosphere. It is fundamental to the preservation of carbonation since the amount of carbon dioxide kept within the carbonated liquid is determined by the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide in the space right above the carbonated liquid in the bottle or holder. Thus the present invention can conserve the compressed carbon dioxide content of the carbonated liquid during consumption. Moreover, the number of times of dispensation has virtually no effect on the preservation of carbonation.
(3) The dispensation is under the same pressure between the bottle or holder and the airtight closed chamber. There are no ejection and no vigorous foaming during the dispensing process, so that the carbon dioxide content within the carbonated liquid can be kept in there.
(4) The amount of carbonated liquid dispensed arbitrarily depends upon the capacity of the airtight chamber. Hence the carbonated liquid can be consumed in a very economic way while the carbonation of the carbonated liquid is well preserved.
