Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method by which beverages can be dispensed, and a drinking vessel in which beverages can be dispensed, particularly in circumstances such as occur at football stadia where large numbers of beverages must be dispensed in a very short period of time.
  • each glass of wine to be sold is individually dispensed from either a bottle (which must be laboriously opened) or from a cask having a plastic dispensing tap. In either case, each glass is individually poured with the consequence that some are under filled and some are overfilled. As a result, some patrons feel that they have been short changed, or otherwise have not received full value for their money.
  • wine is often spilled if the glasses are overfilled to the point where wine spills over the rim of the glass, particularly during transport by the patron back to the patron's seat.
  • Another problem in such circumstances is disposing of the bottles since for every 1000 drinks dispensed there are approximately 200 empty bottles to be removed from the working space of the dispensing staff.
  • the genesis of the present invention is a desire to reduce or ameliorate the above-mentioned difficulties, at least to some extent, by the provision of both a method of dispensing and a drinking vessel.
  • a method of dispensing suitable for a predetermined volume of alcoholic beverage subject to excise or similar impost comprising the steps of: (i) locating said predetermined volume in an open topped drinking vessel, said vessel having a stacking mechanism rendering it stackable with a like vessel to form a stack of vessels,
  • a stackable, releasably sealed open topped drinking vessel said vessel having a circular rim defining said open top, a bowl located below said rim and above a base, said base and said bowl having an inter-engageable stacking mechanism to permit two said like vessels to be stacked one above the other, and said rim being releasably sealed by a sheet means extending thereacross.
  • a stack of the sealed abovementioned open topped drinking vessels there is disclosed.
  • a fourth aspect of the present invention there is disclosed a plurality of the nested empty abovementioned open topped drinking vessels.
  • a refrigerator including a cooled stack of the sealed abovementioned open topped drinking vessels.
  • FIG. 1 is perspective view of a first embodiment of a sealed drinking vessel
  • Fig. 2 is vertical longitudinal cross-section through a stack of the vessels of Fig. I 5
  • Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a refrigerator having a glass front and within which are stacked a multiplicity of the drinking vessels of Figs. 1 and 2,
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a person raising the tab of the sealing sheet so as to break the seal protecting the contents of the drinking vessel
  • Fig. 5 is a partial perspective view showing a patron walking back to his seat at a sporting stadium carrying three of the vessels each of which has had its seal ruptured,
  • Fig. 6 is a partial perspective view showing the drinker removing the protective foil in its entirety before commencing consumption of the contents of the vessel
  • Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but of a second embodiment.
  • a drinking vessel formed from plastics such as PET, the vessel 1 having a bowl 2, a stem 3 and a base 4.
  • the bowl 1 has a rim 6 which is sealed by a circular disk of sealing material in the form of a metal foil, or similar.
  • the disk 7 has a tab 8 which enables the disk 7 to be lifted from the rim 6 and thereby rupture the seal which has been formed between the rim 6 and the disk 7.
  • the base 4 has a circular concavity 14 formed therein which is sized to be able to receive the rim 6 of a like vessel 1. Consequently, even with the disk 7 in place, a number of like vessels 1 are able to be stacked one above the other as indicated in Fig. 2 so as to form a substantially stable stack 16.
  • each of the vessels 1 is preferably filled with wine 13.
  • wine Normally wine is only stored in glass bottles or collapsible plastics bags used in so called “wine casks" where the bag is confined to within the interior of a cardboard box. It is thought that by adding various oxygen robbing constituents to the PET the wine 13 can be safely stored in the vessel 1 sealed by means of the foil disk 7 for a period of up to six months.
  • FIG. 3 A substantial advantage of the ability of the vessel 1 to stack is illustrated in Fig. 3 where an entire fridge 18 can have its interior filled with stacked vessels 1 in order that they can be cooled prior to consumption, which is the case particularly for white wine.
  • a particular advantage of the disk 7 is that in its partially ruptured form it still prevents any substantial splashing or spilling of the wine contents 13 of the vessel 1 as it is being carried to its place of consumption.
  • Fig. 7 a second embodiment of a disposable vessel 100 which is both stackable when full, and nestable when empty is illustrated.
  • the vessel 100 is generally similar to the vessel 1 save that the outer diameter of the base 104 is less than the inner diameter of the bowl 102.
  • the sealing disk 107 instead of being flush with the rim 6 of the bowl 2 as in Figs. 1 and 2, is indented below the rim 106 so as to provide a circular recess 117 which has a diameter which mates with the outside diameter of the base 104. This enables the vessels 100 to stack when full and sealed.
  • the base 104 of another vessel 100 can be received within the bowl 102.
  • This ability is of considerable assistance to staff designated to clean up a football stadium, or a licenced premises, after patrons have been drinking from the vessels 100.
  • the stacking mechanism is the concavity 14 being dimensioned to mate with the rim 6.
  • the recess 117 being dimensioned to mate with the base 104.
  • the vessel 1 or 100 and with its disk 7 or 107 is able to be manufactured at low cost thereby providing a price advantage over, for example, glass bottles.
  • the vessel 1 or 100 is of low weight and thus a number of stacks 16 of the vessel 1 can be placed within a cardboard box (not illustrated) and transported from place to place prior to consumption.
  • a cardboard box is much lighter (and needs to be less strong) than a corresponding box containing, for example, a dozen glass bottles.
  • a box is less expensive than a box for bottles.
  • the vessels 1 or 100 can be placed within a refrigerator and chilled and provide a greater economy of stacking than do conventional glass bottles. That is, using the vessels 1 or 100 a greater volume of wine can be located within the refrigerator 18 than would be the case with conventional glass bottles. Fourthly, there is no delay in the dispensing of the vessels since the tab 8 is able to be quickly lifted and this is to be contrasted with the delay involved in removing corks from conventional glass bottles, or even screw caps.
  • the vessels are able to be transported after being purchased with the partially opened disk 7 or 107 without spilling and this is to be contrasted with conventional wine glasses from which wine can splash, slosh or otherwise spill.
  • Novelty searches conducted after the priority date have disclosed a number of publications which disclose a sealed plastic drinking vessel for wine.
  • the following specifications exemplify this art DE 3,814,937; GB 2,289,252; WO 96/05123; WO 90/03928; WO 2006/016232; US 2003/0019364; and US 2004/0247749. It is not known whether any of these vessels have been produced or used commercially.
  • US Patent 2,996,208 discloses a champagne flute like plastic vessel which is fabricated in two parts, a lid and a bowl.
  • the lid seals the bowl contents prior to consumption. After removal of the lid from the bowl the lid is able to be joined with the base of the bowl to function as a stem and base for the vessel.
  • the length of the stem 3 can be increased, if desired, in order to create a "premium" vessel which is less efficient in stacking but for which an additional price might well be paid for the enhanced elegance of the vessel.
