Definitions

  • the present invention generally refers to a closure for containers such as bottles and the like and to the method of carrying it out.
  • nitrogen is known in the beverage packaging industry, and particularly in bottling. For instance, nitrogen is introduced into cans or bottles containing beverages in order to fill the space otherwise taken up by air, which could damage the beverage preservation.
  • the United States Patent no. US 5,802,812 discloses a method (and the corresponding device) for closing containers, through crown caps, that allows to remove air remaining inside the containers, for instance bottles, after they have been filled up with the beverage to be preserved (for instance, beer, wine, an so on).
  • Said method provides that, after the bottle has been filled up, an inert gas, preferably liquid nitrogen, is introduced inside said bottle. The pressure developed by the gas evaporation pushes the residual air through the gaps remained between the not yet sealed crown cap and the bottle aperture, towards outside.
  • corks for closing bottle to be used particularly for bottling wine, sparkling wine, champagne and the like.
  • corks can deteriorate with time due to the natural permeability to air typical of such material. The risk is that the wine inside the bottle takes on with time the known "cork taste".
  • caps made of synthetic materials does not appear to be suitable for all the kinds of wines, in particular it appears to be not much suitable to preserve high quality wines, for instance medium or long ageing wines, champagnes and the like.
  • a first object of the present invention is therefore to provide a closure for containers such as bottles and the like allowing to overcome the aforesaid drawbacks.
  • a further object is to provide a closure for containers such as bottles and the like ensuring a perfect seal until opening by the consumer.
  • a further object is to provide a method of carrying out the closure according to the present invention.
  • the closure according to the invention provides a first cap and a second cap sequentially inserted, with a gas or a gas mixture, for instance an inert gas, being introduced between the first cap and the second cap.
  • a gas or a gas mixture for instance an inert gas
  • the introduction of preset amount (for instance a drop) of inert gas, such as for instance nitrogen at the liquid state, between the first cap and the not yet sealed second cap causes the removal of the air present between the two caps when closing the bottle or similar container and it ensures that the first cap, close to the beverage, is preserved wholesome with time.
  • preset amount for instance a drop
  • inert gas such as for instance nitrogen
  • the method according to a preferred embodiment of the invention applied to a bottle provides the steps of:
  • the step of inserting a first cap 5 inside the bottle 10 is preceded by the step of introducing a further amount of gas or gas mixture, for instance a drop of inert gas 7b, between the beverage 9 and the first cap 3.
  • a closure 1 is thus carried out, said closure comprising a first cap 5, preferably a cork, but also made of an agglomerated or of a synthetic material, an amount of gas or gas mixture (for instance a drop of nitrogen) 7b above the first cap 5 and a second cap 3, preferably a crown cap, fastened at the rim 4 of the bottle 10.
  • the closure 1 provides that a further amount of gas or gas mixture (for instance a nitrogen drop) 7a is introduced between the beverage 9 and the first cap 5.
  • a further amount of gas or gas mixture for instance a nitrogen drop
  • the second cap 3 is a cap to be inserted into the neck 2 of the bottle 10 or similar container.
  • the space comprised between the beverage 9 and the first cap 5 and/or the space comprised between the first cap 5 and the second cap 3 are advantageously released from possible air residues.
  • This expedient prevents the first cap 5 from deteriorating at the contact with air and, consequently, ensures a perfect preservation with time of the beverage inside the bottle or similar container.
  • the liquid nitrogen introduced into the space comprised between the first cap and the second cap almost immediately turns from the liquid state into the gas state, increasing its volume and, consequently, causing a pressure increase inside the aforesaid space. Therefore, upon opening the bottle or similar container, the consumer will notice the release of the gas under pressure and he/she will receive evidence that the closure 1 ensured a perfect seal.
