Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for preserving the content of a partially opened beverage bottle according to the preamble of independent claims 15 and 1, as well as a closure pin for a beverage bottle for use in the device according to the preamble of independent claim 11.
- a system for the preservation of the contents of opened beverage bottles in which opened wine and champagne or sparkling wine bottles are provided with a special sealing pin, which either has an integrated outlet valve designed as a check valve (for wine bottles or generally bottles with so-called “still” content) or an integrated inlet valve designed as a check valve (for champagne and sparkling wine).
- the system has an application head to which the bottle cap can be coupled in a communicating manner by being brought up to it.
- the application head is designed as an evacuation head for wine bottles and connected to a suction pump.
- the application head is designed as a filling head and connected to a pressure pump.
- the application head is designed both as an evacuation head and as a filling head and is correspondingly connected to a suction pump and to a pressure pump. If a bottle with the special sealing pin attached to it is coupled to the application head, a controller starts either the suction pump or the pressure pump, depending on whether it is a wine bottle or a champagne or sparkling wine bottle, and sucks in the case of Wine exhausts air from the bottle via the outlet valve integrated in the plug or, in the case of champagne, squeezes or sparkling wine through the air or CO inlet valve in the bottle. In the case of wine or still beverages, a negative pressure is created in the bottle, in the case of champagne or sparkling wine.
- the gas space located above the liquid level in the beverage bottle is flushed and filled with nitrogen or another food-compatible gas and then the bottle is sealed and preferably kept under a slight positive pressure.
- the residual oxygen above the liquid level in the bottle is brought to the greatest possible minimum and the loss of quality after opening the bottle for the first time is practically completely prevented.
- Nitrogen N 2 in food quality is best suited to displace the circulating air or residual oxygen from the bottle above the liquid level. Nitrogen does not diffuse in liquids and therefore affects the liquid, wine or champagne, not in terms of taste. Nitrogen is available in sufficient quantities at favorable conditions and can be transported and stored safely.

- the device essentially comprises at least one specially designed locking pin, designated as a whole by S, and a filling device, designated as a whole by E.
- This in turn comprises a filling head, designated as a whole with H, which is adapted to the closure pin S, a feed valve 1, a vent valve 2, a gas source 3 and an electrical control 4 for controlling the two valves 1 and 2, and a pressure sensor 4a which cooperates with the control.
- a gas source 3 instead of the gas source 3, only a corresponding connection for the gas source 3 could also be provided.
- the gas source is typically a commercially available nitrogen bottle with a pressure reducing valve 3a, which is set to a working pressure of typically about 1.4 bar.
- any number of locking pins S are provided in practice, which can work together with one and the same filling device E.
- the filling head H comprises a stationary or mountable mounting block 20, in which a filling tube 10 is inserted so that it attitude of the mounting block 20 is substantially vertical.
- the filler pipe 10 is connected at its upper end in a communicating manner via the supply valve 1 to the gas source 3 or the corresponding connection (FIG. 2).
- the filling tube 10 has a tapered axial extension 11.
- a sealing ring 12 is arranged in the extension 11.
- the mounting block 20 is provided on its lower end face with a tubular collar 23 which is coaxial with the filling tube 10 and which has one or more openings or wall cutouts 24 on its lower edge.
- a sealing ring 25 is arranged on the outer circumference of the collar 23.
- connection 27 for the vent valve 2.
- This connection 27 is via an oblique bore 28 communicating with the bore 26.
- the connection 27, the oblique bore 28 and the intermediate space between the inner wall of the bore 26 and the outer wall of the filler pipe 10 together form a ventilation channel passing through the mounting block 20.
- the vent valve 2 is connected to the connection 27 (FIG. 2) or arranged directly in it and closes the vent channel to the outside in the closed state.
- An electrical switch (microswitch) 29 is also arranged on the mounting block 20 and can be actuated via a plunger 29a which is mounted in the mounting block in a sliding manner.
- the plunger 29a passes through the mounting block 20 and, in the idle state, slightly protrudes from the mounting block on its underside.
- the switch 29 is actuated, and the plunger 29a is reset downward by the return spring provided in the switch, supported by the action of gravity.
- the locking pin S comprises an essentially approximately cup-shaped base body 30, in the perforated bottom of which a tubular plug 31 made of an elastic material is held.
- the tubular stopper 31 is provided on its outer circumference with elastic annular sealing ribs 32, which nestle tightly against the inner wall of the neck of a beverage bottle F.
- the dimensions of the elastic tubular stopper 31 are of course adapted to the dimensions of the common wine and champagne bottles.
- the closure pin is provided with special locking means. These consist of two relatively elastic brackets 50 fastened to the base body 30 and of two leaf springs 51 connecting the two brackets 50 and clamped therein.
- the two leaf springs 51 bulge, as is the case, for example, in coin purses known radially apart so that the bottle neck can be passed between them.
- the leaf springs partially relax again and in the process lie snugly against the bottle neck below the ring beads usually located on the bottle neck, so that they engage behind these ring beads and thereby hold the locking pin securely.
- the leaf springs are bulged apart again by pressure on the two brackets 50.
- the upper edges of the two leaf springs 51 in the position of use are, as shown in FIG. 5, jagged, as a result of which they cling to the ring bulge of the bottle neck and ensure a secure hold.
- An essentially tubular valve housing 33 with an inwardly projecting flange 34 is arranged in the base body 30 of the locking pin S.
- a flood pipe 42 is sealed, which communicates with the valve housing 33 and projects through the elastic stopper 31 into the bottle neck slightly below the level of the leaf springs 51.
- the flood pipe 42 is slightly smaller in diameter than the inner diameter of the elastic plug 31, so that an annular channel 45 remains free between the flood pipe 41 and the elastic plug 31.
- corresponding axially parallel through-channels can also be provided in the elastic stopper 31.
- valve body 43 Inside the valve housing 33 there is a valve body 43, which is still pressed up by a helical spring 44 supported on the flood pipe 42.
- the inwardly projecting flange 34 of the valve housing 33 forms a valve seat which is opposite to the valve body 43.
- the valve body 43 reaches through the flange 34 with a slightly smaller cylindrical extension 43a and protrudes somewhat (in the rest position) from its end face (FIG. 1).
- the valve body 43 Below the cylindrical extension 43a, the valve body 43 has a conical section which cooperates with the region of the flange 34 designed as a valve seat. Under the conical section, the valve body 43 is prismatic with both for example, square or hexagonal cross section, so that 33 free flow cross sections remain open in this area between the valve body and the inner wall of the valve housing.
- the flange 34 of the valve housing 33 and the valve body 43 together form an inlet valve operating as a check valve, through which gas can be introduced into the beverage bottle F in the open state (FIG. 2), the valve housing 33 and the flood pipe 42 attached to it through form the plug S leading through the inlet channel, in which the inlet valve is located and through which the supplied gas flows.
- annular channel 41 In the upper area of the valve housing 33 there is an annular channel 41 open to the outside (top) between the latter and the inner wall of the base body 30 and an annular channel 39 with a slightly larger diameter directly below it.
- An elastic valve disk 40 is clamped on the outside of the valve housing 33 the annular shoulder formed by the different diameters of the two annular channels 39 and 41 works together as a valve seat and together with this forms an outlet valve working as a check valve, which separates the annular channel 39 from the overlying annular channel 41 in the normally closed state (FIG. 1) and in the open state ( Fig. 2) connects the ring channel 39 with the ring channel 41.
- axially parallel channels 36 and radial channels 37 are provided, and radial channels 38 are also provided in the flood tube 42.
- These radial channels 38 and 37 and the axially parallel channels 36 connect the ring channel 45 in the elastic stopper 31 in a communicating manner with the ring channel 39 below the elastic valve disk 40.
- the outlet valve formed by the elastic valve disk 40 normally blocks the outlet channel (rest position, FIG. 1). If the outlet valve is opened from the outside (FIG. 2), air or gas can escape or be discharged from the interior of the beverage bottle F through the outlet channel become. Since the ring shoulder between the two ring channels 39 and 41 something is lower than the elastic valve disk 40, this is slightly elastically biased and seals securely. As soon as there is an overpressure in the bottle, the valve disk 40 is pressed even more against the ring shoulder by this, whereby the sealing effect is increased.
- the parts of the closing pin S forming the inlet channel and the outlet channel are dimensioned such that the free flow cross section of the outlet channel is larger at each point, preferably larger by at least a factor> 2 than the smallest free flow cross section of the inlet channel.
- a stopper S according to the invention is placed on an opened wine or champagne bottle F, the content of which is to be preserved, while the two leaf springs 51 are temporarily bulging apart, the elastic stopper 31 being inserted into the bottle neck and sealingly wedged there by means of its sealing ribs 32 (FIG . 1).
- the bottle F is brought together with the closure pin S fastened on or in it to the filling head H which is firmly mounted at a suitable point so that the upper end face of the closure pin S comes into contact with the mounting block 20.
- the collar 23 of the mounting block 20 penetrates into the annular channel 41 and, on the other hand, the extension 11 of the filling tube 10 into the flange 34 of the valve housing 33. Furthermore, the plunger 29a is pushed upwards and the switch 29 is thereby actuated (FIG. 2).
- the sealing ring 12 seals with the flange 34 of the valve housing 33, and the peripheral sealing ring 25 seals with the outer wall of the ring channel 41 in the locking pin S.
- the filling pipe 10 and the inlet channel in the locking pin S are communicatively connected and sealed off from the environment.
- the controller 4 now simultaneously opens the supply valve 1 and the vent valve 2.
- nitrogen or another food-compatible gas now flows is under a relatively low overpressure of the order of about 1 bar, preferably about 1.4 bar, through the filling tube 10 and the inlet channel of the closure pin S into the bottle F.
- the gas in the bottle in the Normal normal, ambient air containing oxygen, displaced from the bottle and expelled into the environment through the outlet channel in the sealing pin S and via the ventilation channel in the filling head.
- the control 4 closes the vent valve 2 for about 5 s.
- the control valve 4 can also close the supply valve 1 in a time-controlled manner.
- the overpressure prevailing in the bottle can later be released by opening the inlet valve before removing the sealing pin S. All that is required is for the button-shaped extension 43a of the valve body 43 protruding from the end face of the locking pin to be pushed in by hand, as a result of which the inlet valve opens and the overpressure can be reduced safely through the inlet channel and without any disturbing noise.
- the electrical control 4 required for the functional sequences can be implemented with very simple means and requires no further explanation for the person skilled in the art.
- the controller 4 could also be pneumatic, the gas source also being able to supply the drive energy for the pneumatic controller at the same time.
- the functional sequences of the control opening and pressure-controlled or time-controlled closing of the supply and ventilation valves
- the device according to the invention is capable of constantly maintaining an overpressure of 0.2 to 3 bar in the bottle over a period of at least 120 hours and thus ensuring the quality conservation of the contents of the bottle for at least this same period.
- the second exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 differs from the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 only in the construction of the inlet valve of the sealing pin S.
- a pin 143 is coaxially movable in the upper end of the flood pipe 142 stored.
- the pin 143 is provided with a sealing washer 143b which cooperates with the inwardly projecting flange 34 of the valve housing 33 and together with this forms the inlet valve.
- a button-shaped extension 143a of the pin 143 projecting through the flange 34 has the same function as the corresponding extension 43a of the valve body 43 in the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. All other components of this exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention are identical to those of the Embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 and therefore provided with the same reference numerals.
