Definitions

  • This invention relates to the containment of effervescence in carbonated beverages using a containment cap made to release only carbonated liquid and contain the gas within the bottle.
  • the disadvantage of the resealable cap systems is that the cap allows gas to escape each time the cap is opened and the bottle is depressurized. After several openings, the beverage loses carbonation.
  • the pumps systems also have disadvantages including those already mentioned for the resealable cap.
  • pressure is released.
  • the pump attempts to repressurize the bottle, but is unable to replace the effervescence in the beverage. Depressurization releases effervescence that is not replaced by the pump. Additionally, repressurizing the bottle with the pump is time consuming and inconvenient.
  • the present invention does not release gas from the bottle since the cap is not removed. It uses a pressure release valve or an aerosol valve, like those used to dispense whipped cream from cans, to dispense the carbonated liquid and retain the gas.
  • Fig. 1 is a cross sectional view of an embodiment of the containment cap using an inner valve assembly and an outer valve assembly.
  • Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of an embodiment of the containment cap using an aerosol valve assembly adapted to a bottle neck.
  • Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of an embodiment of the containment cap using an aerosol valve assembly adapted to a bottle neck in a recessed position having a protective cap, tab, and hinge.
  • Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of an embodiment of the containment cap using angled spokes including a magnified cross sectional view of a ring.
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view using angled spokes showing the inner valve assembly and outer valve assembly separately.
  • Fig. 6 is a cross sectional detailed view of the angled spokes in the open and closed positions.
  • the present invention uses an aerosol valve assembly, similar to those used to dispense whipped cream from cans, adapted to fit a bottle neck.
  • aerosol valve assembly is described in U.S. Patent No. 6, 113,070.
  • the containment cap in the present invention has an inner valve assembly 1 in Fig. 1. comprising an outer side l , a top side lb, an inner side lc and a bottom side Id.
  • the outer side comprises an inner thread 2 made to screw on a bottle neck 4 and outer thread 3 made to receive an outer valve assembly 11.
  • the inner side lc fits against the inside wall of the bottle neck.
  • the bottom side of the inner valve assembly comprises a tubular valve assembly 5.
  • the tubular valve assembly is an aerosol valve assembly adapted to fit the inner valve assembly. Details of the tubular valve assembly are not described since the art of making
  • the tubular valve assembly has a threaded tubular body 6, a base end 7, a top end 8, a tapered head 9 and a tapered opening 10.
  • the tapered head has a top tapered end 9a, a bottom tapered end 9b and a side end 9c.
  • the inner valve assembly comprises an inner stop 12a that will engage an outer stop 12b on the outer valve assembly when the outer valve assembly is unscrewed to a predetermined limit. Additional force will engage the stops and causing the inner valve assembly to release at the perforation 19 and unscrew from the bottle neck. This will allow removal of the entire containment cap from the bottle neck.
  • the outer valve assembly fits over the inner valve assembly. It comprises an outer wall 1 la, a top wall 1 lb comprising a round hole 13 in the center and an inner wall lie.
  • the outer wall has an outer wall thread lid that engages the outer thread 3 of the inner valve assembly in the closed position.
  • the inner wall lie comprises an inner wall thread lie that engages the threaded tubular
  • the inner wall thread forces the tubular valve assembly 5 to remain in the sealed position to prevent unintentional leakage of gas.
  • the outer wall thread 1 Id disengages the outer thread 3 as the outer valve assembly is unscrewed and moves upward.
  • the threaded tubular body 6 supports the outer valve assembly. There is enough freeway space between the inner valve assembly and the outer valve assembly to allow lateral movement of the outer valve assembly sufficient to force open the tubular valve assembly to expel the carbonated liquid when lateral pressure is applied to the outer wall 11a.
  • the inner wall has an indentation 14 at the lower end comprising a ledge 15 at the bottom of the indentation.
  • a ring 18 fits loosely around the indentation and is allowed to move freely as the bottle is turned upside down to pour.
  • the ring engages below the ledge 15 and the inner side 1 lc forming a stop that prevents the tubular valve assembly from opening by preventing lateral movement of the outer valve assembly.
  • the ring is made to disengage the ledge in the pouring position and allow the tubular valve assembly to open by allowing lateral movement.
  • the ring is larger than the freeway space between the inner valve assembly and the outer valve assembly to prevent the ring from becoming caught in the freeway space.
  • the lower end of the outer side la is connected to a lock ring 26 by a perforation 19 allowing the inner valve assembly to lock on the bottle.
  • the containment cap in the present invention is removed by apply excessive force in the counter clockwise direction to separate the containment cap along the perforation leaving the lock ring behind on the bottle neck. Once removed, the containment cap is reusable.
  • the outer valve assembly has a safety seal 28 connected to the inner valve assembly that will break loose on first opening of the containment cap.
  • the outer valve assembly and the inner valve assembly are made to allow the outer valve assembly to fit in position to the inner valve assembly during the manufacturing process regardless of their tapered features.
  • a containment cap similar to an aerosol valve assembly used to dispense whipped cream from cans is adapted to the bottle neck, Fig 2, comprising a protective cap 20, a valve assembly 21, a cap assembly 22, lock ring 26 and perforation 19.
  • a protective cap 20 to dispense the carbonated liquid, the protective cap is removed and the valve assembly is pushed laterally.
  • the containment cap comprises the cap assembly 22 that recesses the valve assembly 21 inside the bottle neck.
  • the containment cap is opened by pulling on a tab 23 to release the protective cap 20.
  • the protective cap is secured off-
  • the hinge allows the protective cap to rotate upward and act as a lever.
  • the lower end of the protective cap laterally engages the upper end of the valve assembly to force it open to expel the carbonated liquid when the bottle is in the upside down pouring position.
  • the protective cap can be resealed by pushing and snapping it back to its original closed position using a snapping means 25 for snapping the protective cap in the closed position.
  • the containment cap in the present invention has an inner valve assembly 1 in Fig. 4. comprising an outer side la and a top side lb made to fit a bottle neck.
  • the outer side has outer staggered threads 29 made to screw on the inner staggered threads 30 of an outer valve assembly 11.
  • the top side of the inner valve assembly comprises a valve assembly 21.
  • the valve assembly has angled spokes 27 arranged in a circular pattern radiating from the center of the inner valve assembly, safety seal 28, inner staggered threads 29, stop recess 31, perforation 19 and lock ring 26. The safety seal is broken the first time the outer valve assembly is opened.

  • the outer valve assembly is rotated clockwise forcing it to slide up the distal slope and come to a rest on the flat top in a predetermined position when the outer stop 12b is engaged in the stop recess and outer staggered threads 29.
  • downward vertical pressure or lateral pressure on the outer valve assembly will force the valve assembly open causing the carbonated liquid to be expelled.
  • the inner staggered threads and the outer staggered threads disengage to allow free vertical movement of the outer valve assembly.
