Definitions
- This invention relates to repressurizing devices for beverage containers, and particularly to a repressurizing dispenser device adapted for removable attachment to the threaded neck of a conventional carbonated beverage container, wherein the device includes a handle, a valve spout, and a hand-operated pump.
- the carbonated beverage will most likely be discarded or thrown away, thereby effectively increasing the cost per used ounce to the consumer.
- the Ballas U.S. Pat. No. 4,768,665 discloses a hand operated pump which uses a cylinder and piston. The Ballas pump is attachable to a threaded bottle neck.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4723,670 to Robinson discloses a hand operated pump which attaches to a threaded bottle neck and which uses a cylinder and piston. Both Ballas and Robinson require removal of the device from the bottle prior to pouring the contents of the bottle into a glass or other receptacle.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a repressurizing beverage dispenser for removable attachment to the threaded neck of a beverage bottle, wherein the dispenser includes a valve with a half ball- shaped member which is structured to create a seal and to increase its resistance to air pressure released as the bottle is rotated to tighten the dispenser onto the threaded neck of the bottle.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a beverage dispenser with a valve having a half ball-shaped member and a built-in lever which extends outward from a front of the dispenser, enabling the valve to be opened and closed by either a right-handed or a left-handed operator.
- a further object of the invention is to provide an improved beverage dispenser, as set forth above, and including a built-in lever for operating the valve, and wherein the lever acts as a counterweight opposite of the handle so that when the dispenser is attached to a bottle, the counterweight lever will maintain the bottle balanced so that it does not tip over.
- the present invention is directed to a repressurizing beverage dispenser which removably attaches to the threaded neck of a carbonated beverage container.
- the dispenser includes a main body which is molded to include an integral handle portion and head portion. Seal means within the head portion provide an air and liquid tight seal between the dispenser device and the discharge opening of the beverage container and include a cap and a valve assembly.
- the cap is fitted within the head portion and includes interior threads for threaded engagement and attachment to the threaded neck of the beverage container. A central opening through the top of the cap aligns with the discharge opening of the container.
- the valve assembly includes a pivotal valve spout on the head portion which is moveable between a closed position and an open position.
- a ball-shaped portion of the valve spout is disposed in mating, sealing engagement with a dish-shaped valve seat.
- the valve seat is preferably formed of an elastomeric, resilient material such as silicone.
- An opening in the dish-shaped valve seat aligns with the central opening of the cap and the discharge opening of the beverage container.
- Movement of the valve spout to the open position serves to rotate the ball-shaped portion relative to the valve seat until a bore formed through the valve spout, defining a fluid passage, aligns with the central opening of the cap, thereby permitting the beverage contents of the container to be poured from the valve spout.
- Means are provided for repressurizing the air space of the container after moving the valve spout from the open position to the closed, sealed position.
- the repressurizing means includes a hand- operated squeeze bulb pump fitted to the handle portion.
- the squeeze bulb has a central hollow body surrounding a compressible interior air chamber, a first end portion and a second end portion.
- the first end portion of the squeeze bulb is fitted with a one-directional air intake valve member which is structured and disposed to draw air into the compressible interior chamber of the squeeze bulb as the central hollow body is released from the compressed state and returned to a normally relaxed, full shape.
- the second end portion of the squeeze bulb is fitted with a one-directional air exhaust valve member which directs air outwardly from the squeeze bulb interior chamber upon compressing the hollow body.
- a flexible hose connects between the exhaust valve member on the squeeze bulb and the seal means in the head portion, in air flow communication with the interior air space of the beverage container. Means are provided for preventing rotation of the squeeze bulb relative to the handle portion. This prevents the flexible hose from becoming twisted and kinked, which would result in blockage of airflow between the squeeze bulb interior air chamber and the air space within the beverage container interior.
- a charge of air is introduced into the bottle interior by repeatedly squeezing and releasing the hand operated squeeze bulb pump on the handle portion until the interior air space within the container is fully pressurized.
- the fully pressurized condition will be realized when there is increased resistance in compressing the squeeze bulb pump.
- Mating engagement of the ball- shaped portion of the valve spout against the valve seat provides an air and liquid tight seal, holding the air pressure and liquid contents within the beverage container.
- a integral lever extending from the valve spout facilitates ease of movement of the valve between the closed and open positions. When the valve spout is moved to the open position, the charge of pressurized air is released from the bottle.
- the carbonated beverage within the container may be poured by tilting the container so that the neck is angled downwardly, thus allowing the beverage contents to flow through the passage of the valve spout and into a glass or other drinking vessel.

- the valve assembly 48 further includes a seal assembly 60 for maintaining an air tight and liquid tight seal between the valve spout 50 and the central opening 38 of the cap 30 in order to contain the beverage within the bottle B and to maintain the pressurized state of the air space within the bottle B when the valve spout 50 is in the closed position.
- the seal assembly 60 is comprised of a two-piece structure, including a flexible resilient seal member 62 and a rigid ring member 64.
- the flexible resilient seal member 62 is formed of an elastomeric composition, such as silicon.
- the rigid ring member 64 may be formed of a rigid plastic composition similar to that of the cap 30.
- the flexible resilient seal member 62 includes an upper portion 66, a lower portion 68 and a neck 70 defined by a section of reduced diameter extending between the upper and lower portions.
- a dish-shaped concave annular surface 72 is formed on the upper portion 66 in surrounding relation to an opening 73.
- the dish-shaped concave portion 72 defines a valve seat for mating engagement with the ball- shaped portion 52 of the valve spout 50.
- the flexible resilient seal member 62 is fitted to the rigid ring member 64 during assembly of the device 10. Specifically, the lower portion 68 of the seal member 62 is passed through an opening 78 of the ring member 64. The opening 78 is surrounded by an inner rim 74 having a top rim surface 76.
- the inner rim 74 surrounds the neck 70 of the seal member 72 so that an aperture 84 formed through the neck 70 aligns with an inner open end of a hollow stem 80 extending from the ring member 64.
- the hollow stem 80 includes an enlarged head 82 at the free distal end.
- the combined seal member 62 and rigid ring member 64 of the seal assembly 60 sits on the top of the cap 30 so that an underside of the lower portion 68 of the seal member 62 mates firmly with the top surface 31 of the cap 30, thereby providing an air and liquid tight seal between the seal assembly 60 and the cap 30.
- the slotted opening 42 aligns with the aperture 84 and hollow stem 80 to provide air flow communication between the open distal end at the enlarged head 82 of the hollow stem 80 and the central opening 38 of the cap which communicates with the discharge opening and interior of the beverage container B.
- Air pump means 90 are provided for introducing air into the interior air space of the beverage container, between the surface of the liquid beverage and the discharge opening of the container B in order to pressurize the air space when the valve assembly 48 is in the closed, sealed position, thereby maintaining the carbonated gas within the liquid beverage.
- the air pump means 90 includes a hand-operated squeeze bulb pump 92 secured to the handle portion 14.
- the squeeze bulb pump 92 includes a central hollow body 94 surrounding a compressible interior air chamber, a first end portion 96 and an opposite second end portion 98.
- the second end portion of the squeeze bulb pump is provided with a multi-sided outer surface for keyed receipt within congruent shaped notches 112 formed in the mating first and second halves 20, 22.
- the multi-sided outer surface of the second end portion includes four sides 99a, 99b, 99c, and 99d as best seen in figure 4. Specifically, the four sides 99a-99d are arranged to define a generally square configuration to the second end portion 98.
- the first end portion 96 of the squeeze bulb pump 92 is fitted with a one-directional air intake valve member 100 which is structured and disposed to draw air into the compressible interior chamber of the squeeze bulb as the central hollow body is released from a compressed state and returned to a normally, relaxed full shape.
- the second end portion 98 of the squeeze bulb pump 92 is fitted with a one-directional air exhaust valve member 102 which directs air outwardly from the squeeze bulb interior chamber when compressing and collapsing the hollow body.
- a hollow needle stem 104 extends from the exhaust valve member 102 to facilitate connection of a flexible air hose 106 which extends between the exhaust valve member 102 and the hollow stem 80.
- the needle stem 104 is received within one end of the flexible hose 106 while the enlarged head 82 of the hollow stem is inserted within the opposite end of the hose 106, so that the flexible hose 106 remains connected in airflow transfer relation between the exhaust valve member 102 and the hollow stem 80, thereby providing airflow communication between the compressible interior air chamber of the squeeze bulb pump and the interior air space within the beverage container B.
- the keyed fitting of the multi- sided exterior surface configuration of the second end portion of the squeeze bulb pump within the congruently configured notches 112 in the handle portion prevent the squeeze bulb pump 92 from spinning or rotating relative to the handle portion 92 when operating the squeeze bulb pump.
- the opposite first and second end portions 96, 98 of the squeeze bulb pump remain stationary relative to the main body 12 of the device.
- the keyed fitting of the second end portion 98 to the handle portion 14 prevents spinning or rotation of the squeeze bulb pump 92 relative to the handle portion 14, thereby preventing the flexible hose from becoming twisted and/or kinked during use of the device 10, which may otherwise result in blockage of airflow between the squeeze bulb pump and the air space within the beverage container interior.
- a collar 110 formed on the end of the handle portion 14 of each of the first and second halves 20, 22 surrounds and grasps the first end portion 96 of the squeeze bulb pump 92 to firmly secure the first end portion thereto. Accordingly, the squeeze bulb pump 92 is held as an integral component of the handle portion 14.
- the dispenser device 10 of the present invention is threadably fastened to the neck N of the beverage container B.
- the valve spout 50 moved to the closed position, as shown in figure 1, a charge of air is introduced into the interior air space of the bottle B by repeatedly squeezing and releasing the hand-operated squeeze bulb pump 92 on the handle portion 14 until the air space within the container B is fully pressurized.
- the fully pressurized condition will be realized when there is increased resistance in compressing the squeeze bulb pump.
- Mating engagement of the ball-shaped portion 52 of the valve spout 50 against the valve seat 72 provides an air tight and liquid tight seal, holding the air pressure and liquid beverage contents within the beverage container B.
- valve spout When the valve spout is moved to the open position, as seen in figure 2, by grasping the lever portion 54 and lifting upwardly to rotate the valve spout approximately 90 degrees, the charge of pressurized air is released from the bottle B. While maintaining the valve spout in the open position, the carbonated beverage product within the container B may be poured by tilting the container so that the neck N is angled downwardly, thus allowing the beverage contents to flow through the passage 55 of the valve spout 50 and into a glass or other drinking vessel. After pouring the beverage, the valve spout 50 is again closed to seal the interior of the bottle and the hand-operated squeeze bulb pump is repeatedly squeezed and released to repressurize the bottle interior air space.
- the handle portion 14 and air pump means 90 are incorporated within a siphon dispenser device 10'.
- the handle portion 14 is integrally formed as part of a main body 12' having means for threadable attachment to the top of a carbonated beverage container B'.
- the handle portion 14 and air pump means 90 are identical to that which was described in connection with the embodiment of Figures 1-5.
- the air pump means 90 includes a hand operated squeeze bulb pump 92 secured to the handle portion 14.
- the squeeze bulb pump 92 includes a central hollow body 94 surrounding a compressible interior air chamber, a first end portion 96 and an opposite second end portion 98.
- the first end portion 96 is fitted with a one-directional air intake valve member 100 and the second end portion 98 is fitted with a one-directional air exhaust valve member 102, the valve members 100, 102 functioning as described above.
- a hollow needle stem 104 extends from the exhaust valve member 102 to facilitate connection of a flexible air hose 106 which extends from the exhaust valve member 102 and connects for a fitting for air flow communication with the hollow interior of the beverage container B'.
- the collar 110 formed on the handle portion 14 surrounds and grasps the first end portion 96 of the squeeze bulb pump 92 to firmly secure the first end portion thereto.
- the second end portion 98 is keyed to the handle portion 14 in the same manner as described in connection with the embodiment of Figures 1-5, so that the squeeze bulb pump is unable to rotate relative to the handle portion 14, thereby preventing twisting and kinking of the flexible hose 106.
- the squeeze bulb pump 92 is compressed and relaxed through several cycles in order to introduce air, under pressure, into the interior air space of the beverage container B'. This serves to force the liquid contents upwardly through hollow tube 120 which has an open end disposed in close spaced relation to the bottom of the interior of the beverage container B'.
- the liquid beverage flows upwardly to valve member 122 which, when operated to an open position, permits passage of the liquid beverage, under force, through the discharge opening 124.
- Figure 7 illustrates yet another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the handle portion 14 and air pump means 90 are incorporated within a water pistol.
- the structure of the handle portion 14 and air pump means 90 are identical to the above-described embodiments of Figures 1-6.
- the handle portion 14 is integrally formed with the body of water pistol 200.
- the one-directional air exhaust valve member 102 on second end portion 98 connects with air hose 106.
- the opposite end of the air hose 106 is connected in airflow communication with water tank 210 which is filled with water by removing fill cap 212.
- the squeeze bulb pump 92 is operated by compressing and releasing the squeeze bulb to direct forced air into the water tank 210 through hose 106, thereby causing the air tank to become pressurized.
- a discharge hose or conduit 214 leads from the bottom of the water tank 210 to conduit 220 and is interrupted by a valve member 216.
- the valve member 216 is operable by a trigger 218 and is normally disposed in a relaxed, closed position, to block water flow from hose 214 to conduit 220. Upon operating the trigger 218 with the index finger or thumb, the valve 216 is opened, permitting fluid flow passage of the water, under pressure, from the water tank 210 through hose 214 and through conduit 220 and exiting in a stream through discharge opening 224. It should be noted that the trigger 218 can be relocated from the position shown in Figure 7, so as to be more accessible to actuation by the thumb of the user, thereby enabling the user to maintain a grip on the handle 14 while squeezing the squeeze bulb pump 92 and operating the trigger 218.
