Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Ausgießer zum Ausgießen von Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Wein aus einem Behälter, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a spout for pouring liquid, in particular wine from a container, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der WO 00/56620 ist ein gattungsgemäßer Ausgießer bekannt. Hierbei soll durch den sogenannten Venturi-Effekt eine besonders gute und wirkungsvolle Kontaktierung der auszugießenden Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Wein, mit dem Luftsauerstoff erreicht werden. Jedoch tritt der gewünschte Effekt nur reduziert auf; da beim Ausgießen nicht der gesamte Querschnitt des venturirohrartig ausgebildeten Flüssigkeitskanals durch die Flüssigkeit ausgefüllt wird, sondern nur etwa 50 % des Querschnitts. Denn anderenfalls wäre eine sichere und gleichmäßige Entleerung auf Grund mangelnder Luftzufuhr in das Innere der zu entleerenden Flasche nicht gewährleistet. Deshalb kommt der gewollte Venturi-Effekt nur sehr reduziert zum Tragen und zudem erfolgt eine Kontaktierung mit dem Luftsauerstoff nur an der relativ kleinen Oberfläche des Flüssigkeitsstromes. Zur Verbesserung dieser Kontaktierung sieht die Druckschrift noch zusätzlich eine anschließende Verwirbelung des Flüssigkeitsstromes durch eine vertikale Lochscheibe und zusätzlich in Strömungsrichtung hinter dieser angeordnete vertikale Umlenkungen vor.From the WO 00/56620 is a generic spout known. This is to be achieved by the so-called Venturi effect a particularly good and effective contact of the liquid to be poured, especially wine, with the atmospheric oxygen. However, the desired effect occurs only reduced; since during pouring not the entire cross section of the Venturi tube-like formed liquid channel is filled by the liquid, but only about 50% of the cross section. Otherwise, a safe and even emptying due to lack of air supply to the interior of the bottle to be emptied would not be guaranteed. Therefore, the desired Venturi effect comes only very reduced to bear and also takes place a contact with the atmospheric oxygen only at the relatively small surface of the liquid stream. To improve this contact, the document additionally provides a subsequent turbulence of the liquid flow through a vertical perforated disc and additionally in the flow direction behind this arranged vertical deflections.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die vorstehenden Nachteile zu beseitigen und einen Ausgießer zu schaffen, der eine wirkungsvolle Kontaktierung der Flüssigkeit mit dem Luftsauerstoff beim Ausgießen aus der Flasche ermöglicht.The present invention is based on the object to overcome the above drawbacks and to provide a spout, which allows an effective contact of the liquid with the oxygen in the air when pouring out of the bottle.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 bzw. Anspruchs 2 erreicht.This is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 and claim 2 according to the invention.

Die vorliegende Erfindung beruht u.a. auf der Erkenntnis, dass durch das Eintauchen des Endes des Röhrchens in den Flüssigkeitsstrom, der in der Regel nicht mehr als maximal 50 % des Kanalquerschnittes einnimmt, der Luftsauerstoff unmittelbar in den Flüssigkeitsstrom hineintransportiert und dort mitgerissen wird, so dass vom Inneren des Flüssigkeitsstroms ausgehend eine Kontaktierung mit dem Luftsauerstoff erfolgt und von dort aus über den gesamten Querschnitt des Flüssigkeitsstromes. Dabei wird eine Wirbelbildung innerhalb des Flüssigkeitsstroms im Wesentlichen vermieden, so dass der auszugießende Wein in seiner Konsistenz nicht beeinträchtigt wird.The present invention is based i.a. on the knowledge that the immersion of the end of the tube in the liquid flow, which usually occupies no more than a maximum of 50% of the channel cross-section, the atmospheric oxygen is transported directly into the liquid flow and entrained there, so that starting from the interior of the liquid flow a Contact with the atmospheric oxygen takes place and from there over the entire cross section of the liquid flow. In this case, a vortex formation within the liquid flow is substantially avoided, so that the effluent wine is not affected in its consistency.

Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, besteht ein erfindungsgemäßer Ausgießer 1, insbesondere zum Dekantieren von Wein, aus einem Einsteckabschnitt 2 zum dichtenden Einstecken in die Öffnung eines Gefäßes, insbesondere in die Ausgießöffnung eines Flaschenhalses einer Weinflasche, einem mittleren Mischabschnitt 3 und einem vorderen Ausgießabschnitt 4, der am Mischabschnitt 3 befestigt ist. Durch die Abschnitte 2, 3, 4 verläuft ein durchgehender Flüssigkeitskanal 5 mit einer mittleren Längsachse X-X.As in Fig. 1 1, in particular for decanting wine, consists of a plug-in section 2 for sealing insertion into the opening of a vessel, in particular into the pouring opening of a bottle neck of a wine bottle, a middle mixing section 3 and a front pouring section 4 located at the mixing section 3 is attached. Through the sections 2, 3, 4, a continuous liquid channel 5 extends with a central longitudinal axis XX.

Der Mischabschnitt 3 ist als Zylinderabschnitt ausgebildet, der insbesondere aus Hartkunststoff hergestellt ist. Der Einsteckabschnitt 2 besteht aus einem im Wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitt 7, der an den Mischabschnitt 3 einstückig angeformt ist und eine gegenüber diesem verringerte Wandstärke besitzt, so dass sich am Übergang zwischen beiden Abschnitten 3, 7 eine Stufe 8 am Umfang ausbildet. Auf dem zylindrischen Abschnitt 7 ist ein Dichtkörper 9, der vorzugsweise aus Weichkunststoff hergestellt ist, aufgebracht. Dieser Dichtkörper 9 ist kegelstumpfförmig ausgebildet, so dass sich sein Außendurchmesser vom freien Ende des Einsteckabschnittes 2 bis zur Stufe 8 vergrößert, und zwar bis zum Außendurchmesser des Mischabschnittes 3. Der Ausgießabschnitt 4 besteht aus einem zu einem Hohlzylinder gebogenen, insbesondere aus Metall, z. B. Edelstahl, hergestellten Hülsenteil, das mit einem ersten Halteabschnitt 10 am Umfang des Mischabschnittes 3 befestigt ist und diesen umfangsgemäß umfasst und einem zweiten vorderen tüllenartigen Ausgußteil 11. Dieses Ausgußteil 11 besitzt eine Ausgußöffnung 12, deren Öffnungsquerschnitt unter einem spitzen Winkel γ, insbesondere in einer Größe von 30 bis 60 ° zur mittleren Längsachse X-X verläuft.The mixing section 3 is formed as a cylindrical section, which is made in particular of hard plastic. The insertion portion 2 consists of a substantially cylindrical portion 7 which is integrally formed on the mixing portion 3 and has a relation to this reduced wall thickness, so that at the transition between the two sections 3, 7, a step 8 is formed at the periphery. On the cylindrical portion 7, a sealing body 9, which is preferably made of soft plastic applied. This sealing body 9 is frusto-conical, so that its outer diameter from the free end of the insertion portion 2 increases to the level 8, to the outer diameter of the mixing section 3. The pouring portion 4 consists of a bent into a hollow cylinder, in particular of metal, for. B. stainless steel, manufactured sleeve part, which is fastened with a first holding portion 10 on the circumference of the mixing section 3 and this circumferentially includes and a second front spout-like spout 11. This spout 11 has a spout 12 whose opening cross-section at an acute angle γ, in particular a size of 30 to 60 ° to the central longitudinal axis XX extends.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besitzt der Flüssigkeitskanal 5 einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt mit einem ersten konstanten Durchmesser, insbesondere von 11 mm im Bereich der Abschnitte 2 und 3 und einem dem gegenüber vergrößerten Innendurchmesser im Bereich des tüllenartigen Ausgußteils 11.In the illustrated embodiment, the liquid channel 5 has a circular cross section with a first constant diameter, in particular of 11 mm in the region of the sections 2 and 3 and the opposite enlarged inner diameter in the region of the spout-like spout 11th

Erfindungsgemäß ist nun weiterhin vorgesehen, dass im Bereich des Mischabschnitts 3 eine Belüftungsöffnung vorgesehen ist, die aus einem Röhrchen 14 besteht, das in eine Öffnung 15 in der Wandung des Mischabschnittes 3 eingesetzt ist. Dieses Röhrchen 14 verläuft schräg zur mittleren Längsachse X-X, wobei in einer ersten Ausführung ein Verlauf unter einem spitzen Winkel α, insbesondere von 60 ° vorgesehen ist. Dieses Röhrchen 14 hat eine Länge derart, dass sein Rohrende die mittlere Längsachse X-X überragt, wobei die im Flüssigkeitskanal 5 verlaufende Länge des Röhrchens 14 > R/sinus α und < 2R/sinus α ist und wobei R der Radius des Flüssigkeitskanalabschnittes im Bereich des Röhrchens 14 ist. Hierbei ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das Röhrchen 14 bis kurz vor die der Öffnung 15 gegenüberliegende Wandung reicht, so dass seine Länge im Wert 2R/sinus α im Wesentlichen entspricht, wobei jedoch ein gewisser Flüssigkeitsspalt zwischen dem Ende des Röhrchens 14 und der angrenzenden Wandung des Mischabschnittes 3 vorhanden ist, so dass auch unterhalb des Röhrchens 14 Flüssigkeit hindurchfließen kann, so dass das Röhrchen 14 allseitig von Flüssigkeit umspült wird. Das Röhrchen 14 besitzt eine Austrittsöffnung 16, wobei der Öffnungsquerschnitt unter einem spitzen Winkel β zur mittleren Längsachse X-X verläuft. Dabei kann der spitze Winkel β vorzugsweise eine Größe einnehmen, die ≥ 30 und ≤ 90 ° beträgt. Durch diesen Verlauf des Öffnungsquerschnittes wird eine staufreie Mitnahme des Sauerstoffs innerhalb des Flüssigkeitsstroms gewährleistet.According to the invention it is further provided that in the region of the mixing section 3, a ventilation opening is provided, which consists of a tube 14 which is inserted into an opening 15 in the wall of the mixing section 3. This tube 14 extends obliquely to the central longitudinal axis XX, wherein in a first embodiment, a course at an acute angle α, in particular of 60 ° is provided. This tube 14 has a length such that its tube end projects beyond the central longitudinal axis XX, wherein the length of the tube 14 extending in the liquid channel 5 is> R / sinus α and < 2R / sinus α and where R is the radius of the liquid channel section in the region of the tube 14 is. In this case, it is provided according to the invention that the tube 14 extends to just before the opening 15 opposite wall, so that its length in the value 2R / sinus α substantially corresponds, but with a certain liquid gap between the end of the tube 14 and the adjacent wall of the Mixing section 3 is present, so that even below the tube 14 liquid can flow through it, so that the tube 14 is surrounded by liquid on all sides. The tube 14 has an outlet opening 16, wherein the opening cross-section at an acute angle β to the central longitudinal axis XX extends. In this case, the acute angle β can preferably assume a size which is ≥ 30 and ≦ 90 °. Through this course of the opening cross-section a jam-free entrainment of the oxygen is ensured within the liquid stream.

Der Durchmesser des Röhrchens 14 beträgt vorzugsweise 5 mm. Der Innendurchmesser des Flüssigkeitskanals 5 im Bereich des freien Endes des Einsteckabschnittes 2 beträgt beispielsweise 11 mm. Der Außendurchmesser des Einsteckabschnittes 2 in diesem Bereich beträgt beispielsweise 16 mm und der Außendurchmesser des Einsteckabschnittes 2 unmittelbar vor der Stufe 8 beträgt beispielsweise 20 mm. Der Ausgießabschnitt 4 besteht zum Beispiel aus 1 mm dickem Edelstahlblech. Das tüllenartige Ausgußteil 11 weist beispielsweise einen Längsschlitz 17 auf, dessen Breite ca. 6 mm betragen kann. Der Bereich der Öffnung 15 in der Wandung des Mischabschnittes 3 zur Aufnahme des Röhrchens 14 weist eine der Eintrittsöffnung des Röhrchens 14 angepasste Öffnung auf, die in den Längsschlitzabschnitt 18 übergeht, der eine geringere Breite als der Längsschlitz 17 besitzt. Alternativ kann sich jedoch der Längsschlitz 17 auch über die gesamte Länge des Ausgießabschnittes erstrecken, so dass dann die Öffnung 15 innerhalb des Schlitzbereiches liegt. Das Ausgußteil 11 besitzt eine Ausgußöffnung 12, deren Öffnungsquerschnitt unter einem spitzen Winkel γ im Bereich von 30 bis 45 ° zur mittleren Längsachse verläuft.The diameter of the tube 14 is preferably 5 mm. The inner diameter of the liquid channel 5 in the region of the free end of the insertion section 2 is for example 11 mm. The outer diameter of the insertion section 2 in this area is for example 16 mm and the outer diameter of the insertion section 2 immediately before the step 8 is for example 20 mm. The pouring portion 4 is made of, for example, 1 mm thick stainless steel sheet. The spout-like spout 11, for example, has a longitudinal slot 17, the width of which may be about 6 mm. The region of the opening 15 in the wall of the mixing section 3 for receiving the tube 14 has one of On the inlet opening of the tube 14 adapted opening, which merges into the longitudinal slot portion 18, which has a smaller width than the longitudinal slot 17. Alternatively, however, the longitudinal slot 17 may extend over the entire length of the pouring portion, so that then the opening 15 is within the slot area. The spout 11 has a spout opening 12 whose opening cross-section at an acute angle γ in the range of 30 to 45 ° to the central longitudinal axis.

Die Erfindung basiert auf der Erkenntnis, dass beim Ausgießen von Flüssigkeit mittels eines Ausgießers der gattungsgemäßen Art niemals der gesamte Flüssigkeitskanalquerschnitt mit der auszugießenden Flüssigkeit 19 ausgefüllt werden darf, vielmehr in der Regel maximal 50 % des Kanalquerschnittes beim Ausgießen von der Flüssigkeit 19 ausgefüllt werden sollten. Denn einerseits würde bei einem vollständigen Ausfüllen des Kanalquerschnitts keine Luft ins Innere des zu entleerenden Behältnisses gelangen, so dass eine Entleerung nicht möglich wäre, und andererseits würde ein Flüssigkeitsvolumen > 50 % des Kanalquerschnittes eine starke Schrägstellung des Behältnisses (Flasche) bedingen und beim Ausschütten einen derartigen Flüssigkeitsstrom verursachen, dass ein Flüssigkeitsschwall erzeugt würde, der eine ordnungsgemäße Befüllung von Gläsern verhindern würde. Wird jedoch der Kanalquerschnitt beim Ausgießen nur mit einem Flüssigkeitsvolumen beaufschlagt, das ≤ 50 % des Querschnitts beträgt, so ermöglicht nun die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung, dass durch das Röhrchen 14 der Luftsauerstoff dort eingeleitet werden kann, wo tatsächlich Flüssigkeit 19 beim Ausgießen, und zwar auch bei einem sehr reduzierten Flüssigkeitsvolumen vorhanden ist. D. h., der durch das Röhrchen 14 eingeleitete Luftsauerstoff wird im Innern des Flüssigkeitsstromes eingeleitet und dort in den Flüssigkeitsstrom hereingezogen und kann hier die gewünschte Oxydation des Weins von innen heraus bewirken. Dabei erfolgt diese Sauerstoffeinleitung und Vermischung des Luftsauerstoffes mit der Flüssigkeit ohne eine Verwirbelung der Flüssigkeit. Eine Verwirbelung des Weins ist deshalb unerwünscht, da hierdurch ein Aromaverlust auftritt.The invention is based on the finding that when pouring liquid by means of a spout of the generic type, the entire liquid channel cross section may never be filled with the liquid 19 to be poured out, but should generally be filled with a maximum of 50% of the channel cross section during the pouring out of the liquid 19. Because on the one hand would not get into the interior of the container to be emptied at a complete filling of the channel cross-section, so that emptying would not be possible, and on the other hand, a liquid volume> 50% of the channel cross-section would require a strong inclination of the container (bottle) and when pouring a cause such liquid flow that a surge of liquid would be generated which would prevent a proper filling of glasses. However, if the channel cross-section during pouring applied only with a liquid volume, which is ≤ 50% of the cross section, then the embodiment of the invention allows that the oxygen can be introduced through the tube 14 where actually liquid 19 during pouring, even at a very reduced volume of liquid is present. D. h., The introduced through the tube 14 atmospheric oxygen is introduced in the interior of the liquid flow and pulled there into the liquid flow and can here cause the desired oxidation of the wine from the inside out. In this case, this oxygen introduction and mixing of the atmospheric oxygen with the liquid takes place without turbulence of the liquid. A turbulence of the wine is therefore undesirable, since this aroma loss occurs.

Somit ermöglicht die Erfindung eine sehr schonende, sehr effektive Dekantierung des Weins schon unmittelbar beim Ausschütten aus der Weinflasche. Durch den im Ausgießabschnitt 4 ausgebildeten Längsschlitz 17 wird eine ungehinderte Belüftung der zu entleerenden Flasche bewirkt, so dass ein kontinuierlicher Flüssigkeitsfluss gewährleistet ist. Zudem ermöglicht der Längsschlitz 17 auch eine gute optische Kontrolle beim Einschenken. Das erfindungsgemäße vorbeschriebene Prinzip ist in Fig. 3 verdeutlicht, wobei gleiche Teile wie in Fig. 1 und 2 mit denselben Bezugsziffern versehen sind. Hierbei ist der Luftstrom zur Belüftung der zu entleerenden Flasche mit den Pfeilen A gekennzeichnet und der Luftstrom durch das Röhrchen 14 mit den Pfeilen B. Durch eine Dimensionierung des Röhrchens 14 in seiner Breite, Länge und Form und Größe seines Querschnitts sowie der Größe und Ausrichtung seiner Austrittsöffnung 16 kann eine Optimierung der Sauerstoffzufuhr in den Flüssigkeitsstrom erreicht werden.Thus, the invention allows a very gentle, very effective decantation of the wine already immediately when pouring out of the wine bottle. Through the longitudinal slot 17 formed in the pouring section 4, unimpeded aeration of the bottle to be emptied is effected, so that a continuous liquid flow is ensured. In addition, the longitudinal slot 17 also allows a good optical Control when pouring. The above-described principle according to the invention is described in Fig. 3 clarified, with the same parts as in Fig. 1 and 2 are provided with the same reference numerals. Here, the air flow for ventilation of the bottle to be emptied with the arrows A and the air flow through the tube 14 with the arrows B. By dimensioning the tube 14 in its width, length and shape and size of its cross section and the size and orientation of his Outlet opening 16, an optimization of the oxygen supply can be achieved in the liquid stream.

In den Fig. 4 und 5 ist eine weitere Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Ausgießers dargestellt. Hierbei sind gleiche Teile, wie in den Fig. 1 bis 3, mit denselben Bezugsziffern versehen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist in Abweichung von derjenigen gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 3, das Röhrchen 14 derart eingesetzt, dass seine Längsachse einen stumpfen Winkel α, insbesondere von 120° bis 140° mit der Längsachse X-X des Ausgießers einschließt, und die Länge des Röhrchens 14 größer ist als der Betrag a/2/sinus (180°-α) und wobei a die lichte Weite des Flüssigkeitskanals 5 im mittleren Abschnitt 3 ist. Durch diese Neigung des Röhrchens 14 entgegen der Ausgießrichtung wird erreicht, dass nach dem Ausgießen beim wieder Aufrichten des erfindungsgemäßen Ausgießers zusammen mit der Flasche in die vertikale Position keine Flüssigkeit aus dem Röhrchen nach außen austreten kann.In the 4 and 5 a further embodiment of the spout according to the invention is shown. Here are the same parts as in the Fig. 1 to 3 , provided with the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, unlike that according to FIGS Fig. 1 to 3 , the tube 14 is inserted such that its longitudinal axis encloses an obtuse angle α, in particular of 120 ° to 140 ° with the longitudinal axis XX of the spout, and the length of the tube 14 is greater than the amount a / 2 / sinus (180 °). α) and wherein a is the clear width of the liquid channel 5 in the middle section 3. By this inclination of the tube 14 against the pouring is achieved that after pouring when re-erecting the spout according to the invention together with the bottle in the vertical position no liquid can escape from the tube to the outside.

Das Röhrchen 14 weist eine Austrittsöffnung 16 auf, deren Öffnungsquerschnitt in einer Ebene liegt, die unter einem spitzen Winkel β schräg zur Längsachse X-X verläuft, wobei im Längsschnitt gesehen die Röhrchenwandung 14a, die entgegen die Fließrichtung B weist, über den gesamten Querschnitt des Flüssigkeitskanals 5 verläuft und die in Fließrichtung gegenüberliegendene Röhrchenwandung 14b eine deartige Länge besitzt, dass der Öffnungsquerschnitt 16 des Röhrchens 14 zwischen der der oberen Lufteintrittsöffnung 14c des Röhrchens 14 gegenüberliegenden Wandung 5a des Flüssigkeitskanals 5 und der Längsachse X-X liegt.The tube 14 has an outlet opening 16 whose opening cross-section lies in a plane which extends at an acute angle β obliquely to the longitudinal axis XX, wherein viewed in longitudinal section the tube wall 14a, which faces the flow direction B, over the entire cross-section of the liquid channel. 5 and the opposite in the direction of flow tube wall 14b has a length Deartige that the opening cross-section 16 of the tube 14 between the upper air inlet opening 14c of the tube 14 opposite wall 5a of the liquid channel 5 and the longitudinal axis XX is located.

Demnach wird eine sehr große Austrittsöffnung 16 geschaffen, die im Flüssigkeitsstrom liegt, so dass eine maximale Luftzuführung erreicht wird. Hierbei ist es insbesondere von Vorteil, wenn am Ende der gegen der Fließrichtung weisenden Wandung 14a des Röhrchens 14 in deren Randbereich eine Wandausnehmung 20 ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Wandausnehmung 20 kann beim Ausgießen Flüssigkeit hindurchtreten, so dass Flüssigkeit auch unterhalb der Austrittsöffnung 16 fließen kann. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind der mittlere Abschnitt 3 und der Einstechabschnitt 2 als einstückiger Kunststoffkörper ausgebildet.Accordingly, a very large outlet opening 16 is created, which lies in the liquid flow, so that a maximum air supply is achieved. In this case, it is particularly advantageous if, at the end of the wall 14a of the tube 14 facing the direction of flow, a wall recess 20 is formed in its edge region. Through this wall recess 20, liquid can pass during the pouring, so that liquid can also flow below the outlet opening 16. In the illustrated embodiment, the middle portion 3 and the piercing portion 2 are formed as a one-piece plastic body.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 5 zu erkennen ist, ist der Ausgießabschnitt 4 im Querschnitt etwa U-förmig einseitig offen ausgebildet, wobei der mittlere U-Schenkel 21 als Bodenabschnitt dient und die beiden anderen U-Schenkel 22, 23 Seitenwandungen bilden. Hierbei schließen die Seitenwandungen 22, 23 mit dem Bodenabschnitt 21 jeweils einen spitzen Winkel δ von ca. 80 ° bis 89 °. Durch die nach oben, d. h. einseitig offene Ausführung des Ausgießabschnitts 4 wird auch während des Ausgießens noch eine Belüftung der austretenden Flüssigkeit ermöglicht. Insbesondere aus Fig. 4 ist zu erkennen, dass die Höhe der Seitenwandungen 22, 23 vom mittleren Abschnitt 3 bis zum Ende des Ausgießabschnitts 4 abnimmt. Hierbei ist die Höhe der Seitenwandungen 22, 23 im Bereich des Anschlusses an den mittleren Abschnitt 3 derart, dass sie etwa der Höhe des mittleren Abschnitts 3 entspricht und im Bereich des Endes des Ausgießabschnittes beträgt sie etwa 20 bis 25 % der Höhe des mittleren Abschnitts 3. Durch diesen Verlauf der Seitenwandungen 22, 23 wird eine gute Führung der austretenden Flüssigkeit bis beispielsweise in ein zu befüllendes Glas sichergestellt, ohne dass am Ende des Ausgießabschnittes 4 Flüssigkeit etwa seitlich austreten kann.As in particular from Fig. 5 can be seen, the pouring portion 4 in cross-section approximately U-shaped open on one side, the middle U-leg 21 serves as a bottom portion and the other two U-legs 22, 23 form side walls. Here, the side walls 22, 23 with the bottom portion 21 each have an acute angle δ of about 80 ° to 89 °. Due to the upward, ie unilaterally open design of the pouring portion 4, a ventilation of the exiting liquid is also possible during pouring. In particular from Fig. 4 It can be seen that the height of the side walls 22, 23 decreases from the middle section 3 to the end of the pouring section 4. Here, the height of the side walls 22, 23 in the region of the connection to the central portion 3 is such that it corresponds approximately to the height of the central portion 3 and in the region of the end of the spout portion is about 20 to 25% of the height of the central portion. 3 This course of the side walls 22, 23 ensures good guidance of the exiting liquid, for example, into a glass to be filled, without it being possible for liquid to escape laterally at the end of the pouring section 4, for example.

In den Fig. 6 und 7 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Ausgießers 1 dargestellt, wobei gleiche Teile wie in den Fig. 5 und 6 mit denselben Bezugsziffern versehen sind.In the 6 and 7 a further embodiment of a spout 1 according to the invention is shown, wherein the same parts as in the Fig. 5 and 6 are provided with the same reference numerals.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform sind im Ausgießabschnitt 4 Trennmittel 24 parallel zur Längsachse X-X im Flüssigkeits-Strömungsquerschnitt des Ausgießabschnitts 4 angeordnet. Durch diese Trennmittel 24 kann beim Ausgießen die Flüssigkeitsoberfläche vergrößert werden, da die zu kontaktierende Flüssigkeit oberhalb und unterhalb der Trennmittel fließen kann. Diese Trennmittel 24 erstrecken sich vorzugsweise über die gesamte Länge des Ausgießabschnittes 4, wobei wie aus Fig. 6 zu erkennen ist, diese Trennmittel 24 im mittleren Abschnitt eingelassen und in diesem befestigt sind. Es liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung, diese Trennmittel 24 auch als einzige Belüftungsmittel im Sinne der Erfindung zu verwenden, so dass in diesem Fall ein erfindungsgemäßer Ausgießer keine Belüftung mittels eines Belüftungsröhrchens haben würde.In this embodiment, separating means 24 are arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis XX in the liquid flow cross section of the pouring section 4 in the pouring section 4. By means of these separating means 24, the liquid surface can be increased during pouring since the liquid to be contacted can flow above and below the separating means. These separating means 24 preferably extend over the entire length of the pouring portion 4, wherein as from Fig. 6 can be seen, these release means 24 embedded in the central portion and secured therein. It is within the scope of the invention to use these release agent 24 as the only aeration means in the context of the invention, so that in this case a spout according to the invention would have no ventilation by means of a ventilation tube.

Erfindungsgemäß können die Trennmittel 24 aus einer Gitteranordnung bestehen, wie dies in Fig. 8 dargestellt ist. Dabei bilden sich im Gitter Maschen 25 aus, durch die die Flüssigkeit durchtreten kann und dann auf der unterhalb liegenden Bodenwandung 21 des Ausgießers weiterlaufen kann. Hierdurch wird eine wirksame Vergrößerung der Flüssigkeitsoberfläche und damit eine zusätzliche Belüftung ermöglicht.According to the invention, the separating means 24 may consist of a grid arrangement, as shown in FIG Fig. 8 is shown. In this case, mesh 25 forms in the lattice, through which the liquid can pass and then continue to run on the bottom wall 21 of the spout located below. As a result, an effective enlargement of the liquid surface and thus an additional ventilation is made possible.

In Fig. 9 ist eine alternative Ausführungsform der Trennmittel 24 dargestellt, wobei diese von einem Lochblech gebildet werden. Auch hier kann die Flüssigkeit einerseits oberhalb des Lochbleches und andererseits durch die Durchtrittsöffnungen 28 des Lochbleches von der Oberseite des Lochbleches hindurch zum Boden des Ausgießers fließen.In Fig. 9 an alternative embodiment of the release means 24 is shown, wherein these are formed by a perforated plate. Again, the liquid can flow on the one hand above the perforated plate and on the other hand through the passage openings 28 of the perforated plate from the top of the perforated plate to the bottom of the spout.

Die Wirksamkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Ausgießers hat sich durch Vergleichsmessungen bestätigt. In einer Weinflasche abgefüllter Wein, insbesondere Rotwein, hat beispielsweise einen Sauerstoffgehalt von 0,82 O2 mg/l. Wird ein derartiger Rotwein aus der Flasche in ein Glas geschüttet, wird ein Sauerstoffgehalt von 1,8 O2 mg/l gemessen. Der gleiche Rotwein mit einem auf dem Markt befindlichen Ausgießer besitzt im ausgeschütteten Zustand im Glas einen gemessenen Sauerstoffgehalt von 2,2 O2 mg/l. Wird der gleiche Rotwein mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Ausgießer mit einer Belüftung durch ein Röhrchen gemäß Fig. 5 ausgeschüttet, so besitzt der Rotwein im Glas einen gemessenen Sauerstoffgehalt von 3,5 O2 mg/l. Der gleiche Rotwein, der mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Ausgießer mit den horizontalen Trennmitteln 24 gemäß Fig. 8 in ein Glas ausgegossen wird, besitzt einen gemessenen Sauerstoffgehalt von 3,5 O2 mg/l. Wird der gleiche Wein mit einem Ausgießer gemäß der Erfindung, der sowohl ein Belüftungsröhrchen 14 als auch ein horizontales Trennmittel 24 aufweist, so wie er beispielsweise in Fig. 6 dargestellt ist, in ein Glas gefüllt, so ergibt sich ein gemessener Sauerstoffgehalt von 4,2 O2 mg/l.The effectiveness of the spout according to the invention has been confirmed by comparative measurements. In a wine bottle bottled wine, especially red wine, for example, has an oxygen content of 0.82 O 2 mg / l. If such a red wine from the bottle is poured into a glass, an oxygen content of 1.8 O 2 mg / l is measured. The same red wine with a spout on the market has a measured oxygen content of 2.2 O 2 mg / l in the glass when poured out. The same red wine with a spout invention with a ventilation through a tube according to Fig. 5 distributed, the red wine in the glass has a measured oxygen content of 3.5 O 2 mg / l. The same red wine with a spout invention with the horizontal release means 24 according to Fig. 8 is poured into a glass, has a measured oxygen content of 3.5 O 2 mg / l. The same wine with a spout according to the invention, which has both a ventilation tube 14 and a horizontal separating means 24, as it is for example in Fig. 6 is filled into a glass, this results in a measured oxygen content of 4.2 O 2 mg / l.

Aus den vorstehenden Messwerten kann die Wirksamkeit der vorliegenden Erfindung ohne Weiteres abgelesen werden. Werden die vorstehenden Messwerte des Sauerstoffgehalts mit dem Sauerstoffgehalt des Rotweins nach einer dreistündigen Belüftung in einer Dekantierkaraffe verglichen, der einen Sauerstoffgehalt von 6,8O2 mg/l. aufweist, so ergibt sich, dass mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Ausgießer eine sehr wirksame Belüftung des Weins erreicht wird, ohne dass ein langer Dekantiervorgang erforderlich ist.From the above measurements, the effectiveness of the present invention can be easily read. If the above oxygen content readings are compared to the red wine oxygen content after 3 hours of aeration in a decanter carafe having an oxygen content of 6.8O 2 mg / l. has, it follows that with the pourer according to the invention a very effective ventilation of the wine is achieved without a long decanting process is required.
