Definitions

  • the invention relates to completely closed carbonized beverage cans, bottle or closed drinking cups used to prevent spilling of fluid, contained in the can, bottle or drinking cup, while in action and fluid is withdrawn from the can, drinking cup or handheld container, US class 220/706 ; 220/85; 222/214; 220/713; 220/714 etc. (International Patent Classification A47G 19/22; BD65d 1/00; BD65D 25/48 etc.)
  • Carbonated beverages are supplied in aluminum cans, bottles or other containers for consumption. As soon as the can or bottle is opened, the fluid starts deteriorating and becomes flat in short time thereafter. If supplied in bottles, the beverage is normally poured into a cup for immediate drinking, while the rest is kept under pressure in the bottle for future use by a screw cap. Aluminum cans, however, are commonly opened by pulling away a piece of the top closure and cannot be closed thereafter. This means that the fluid needs to be consumed more or less immediately after opening. Also when poured from a bottle into a cup the amount may be too much for immediate consumption and someone may want to use it over an extended period of time.
  • Drinking cups and handheld containers with leak tight top-covers combined with drip-less spout and air vent are provided throughout the years in many shapes and forms, in order to prevent spilling of the liquid, contained therein for temporarily storage.
  • the spout and vent are provided with valves that enable fluid to be withdrawn from the container or cup, when suction is applied to the spout.
  • the reduction in fluid content in the container is replaced by air that flows through a second opening in the cover.
  • This air vent holds a control valve that opens when the pressure sinks below the atmospheric outside pressure, due to the suction action at the spout.
  • a drip less feeding/ training container of this nature has been described by Belanger in U.S. patent description 5,079,013 ; U.S. PAT.
  • the present invention overcome all these problems as well as for beverage cans as for closed non-spilling drinking cups combining a number of advantages over prior art solutions, in the same application being: Maintaining the gas pressure to keep the fluid carbonized; easy transport of partially filled containers and no fluid is spilled while drinking and used in action.
  • the present invention has an additional advantage of being more hygienic than using a beverage can closure and/or drinking adapter as provided for in e.g. U.S. PAT. 4,883,192 of Krugman and other inventions thereafter.
  • the present invention of one type of embodiment, comprises a flow control element with a spout for sucking fluid from a pressurized cup, metal beverage can, bottle or handheld container, whereby the fluid is a carbonized beverage or hot drink such as coffee or tea.
  • the flow control element is activated by sucking on the spout, whereby a membrane type element lifts a valve that closes off the inside of the container from the outside.
  • the inside of the container normally has a higher gas pressure than the atmospheric outside pressure caused by the carbonized fluid or expanding air that is heated by a hot drinking fluid within the confinement of the drinking cup.
  • the flow control element comprises a spout, gas tight connected to a housing, a spring, a centrally perforated membrane shape element connected to a valve stem, which is hollow in nature, to enable fluid to flow from the container to the spout through the opening in the membrane; a valve stem guide with valve seat, which is an extrude part of the housing and a valve of soft resilient material.
  • the valve is held firmly in the closed position by a spring that pushes onto the membrane and valve stem, towards the valve seat. As the valve is connected through the valve stem with the membrane, movement of the membrane in axial direction, results in the same movement of the valve.
  • the membrane By reducing the pressure on one side of the membrane by suction on the spout, the membrane will displace the valve thereby opening up the inside of the container and allowing fluid to flow.
  • the fluid flows from the container through a thin flexible tube in the form of a straw inside the container, that reaches from the bottom of the container to the valve opening, through the valve stem, through the membrane into the spout to the mouth.
  • the valve closing area is substantially smaller than the active surface area of the membrane. A small suction pressure difference over the membrane will result in a relative large force to open the valve against the pressure of the spring, that normally keeps the valve closed.
  • the combination of the valve, spring and membrane is therefore an essential part of the invention enabling the flow control element to work.
  • the housing of the flow control element is either gas tight fit in a hole in the cover of an aluminum beverage can or is an integral part of a gas tight cover of a drinking cup.
  • the lower side of the membrane is held at atmospheric pressure by an opening in the housing of the flow control element.
  • an air vent is provided in the valve guide, that only opens when this is the case, to replace the reduced fluid amount.

  • FIG. 7 shows a cross-section of a third embodiment of the invention, whereby the valve is pushed open, when a suction pressure is applied to the spout, rather than that the valve is drawn from its seat in the first two embodiments.
  • FIG. 8 shows a cross-section of a fourth embodiment of the invention, which is similar to the third embodiment of FIG. 7 except that the extruded portion of the membrane encompasses also the spout.
  • FIG. 1 shows a partially opened-up, outside perspective view of a beverage can with a centrally located flow control element in the top cover, extending from the outside to the inside of the can, of the first preferred embodiment. Details of this embodiment are shown in a partially cross-sectional drawing of FIG. 3, while FIG. 4 shows an enlarged cross section of the flow control element, for clarification.
  • the beverage can enclosed by a cylindrical wall 1, a bottom 2, a top cover 3 and a flow control element 4 holds a carbonized beverage 5 that remains under a gas pressure (P3) 6 by the carbonization process.

  • the valve stem 10 fits into the lower cylindrical part 14, acting as a valve stem guide, forming an integral part with housing 9, providing little clearance between these parts. This clearance is slide fit, allowing movement of the valve stem on one side but being tight enough, not to allow fluid or gas to pas through.
  • the lower part of the valve stem guide 14 holds also the valve seat 13.
  • a valve 11 of resilient material is held in place that closes off the access opening 12 to the valve seat 13, to the inside of the beverage can.
  • a flexible tube (straw) 15 is used, that is tightly fixed to the valve opening 12 and reaches down to the bottom of the can.
  • the valve is closed by a spring 16 on the suction side of the flow control element, that pushes the membrane 8 and therewith the valve 11 to its rest position.
  • the hollow valve stem is narrowed down in the lower part 17, while in this tapered section one or more holes 18 are made, through which the fluid passes when the valve 11 is lifted from its seat 13.
  • a small air passage 19 is provided in the housing 9 to assure that the back pressure on the lower side of the membrane remains atmospheric (PI).
  • the flow control element 4 is thus activated: Suction by mouth to the spout 7 will move the membrane 8 upwards, thereby lifting the valve from its seat against the spring pressure.
  • the magnitude of the force to activate the valve can be determined from the pressure difference over the membrane times the active surface area of the membrane, which is (Pl- P2) x A.

  • a vent 20 is provided, which consists of one or more holes in the upper part of the valve stem guide 14. These vents are normally closed off by a rubber band 21 of adequate width to cover the holes completely and which will act as a valve, allowing air to pass from the air passage 19 into the area under the membrane, along the upper portion of the valve stem guide through the vent holes 20 into the can. This feature will take care that the inside pressure P3 of the can will never drop substantially below atmospheric outside pressure PI.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un «élément de commande d'écoulement» muni d'un bec d'aspiration et destiné à des boîtes à boisson gazeuse. Le fluide reste sous pression pendant un accès rendu possible par une aspiration appliquée au bec. Le bec est fixé à une ouverture de boîtier comprenant un ressort, une membrane perforée au centre, une tige de soupape et une soupape. L'ouverture du boîtier s'étend dans l'intérieur du contenant, cette partie étendue fonctionnant comme guide pour la tige de soupape et incorporant le siège de soupape. La tige de soupape est fixée à la membrane perforée sur un côté et à la soupape sur l'autre côté. Quand une aspiration est appliquée, la membrane déplace la soupape et ouvre un circuit d'écoulement, permettant ainsi au fluide de s'écouler via la tige de soupape et la membrane perforée dans la bouche. Lorsque l'aspiration s'arrête, un ressort ferme la soupape à l'encontre de la pression gazeuse dans la boîte ou le contenant.
