Definitions

  • the invention relates to a single-use container for alcoholic beverages, in particular for containing wine or beer.
  • the prior art comprises single-use and single-portion containers made of a plastic material, for containing drinks such as water, or carbonated drinks or other food products such as for example yoghurt. These containers are typically used, though not exclusively, in situations in which a consumer requests a portion of drink to be consumed immediately, for example in a train or on an aeroplane.
  • These containers are generally constituted by a beaker made of a plastic material, closed by an adhesive or heat-welded film which can be removed to enable the product to be consumed.
  • non-single portion containers these can be provided with a reusable cover, hermetically sealed, made of a synthetic material.
  • Known containers are not suitable for containing alcoholic drinks, and in particular wine and beer, i.e. beverages provided with particular physical-chemical and aesthetic/taste qualities, which make conservation thereof particularly delicate due both to the partial volatility of the product and to the facility of oxidation.
  • the containers are not suitable for use without pouring the drink into another container, such as a beaker.
  • the aim of the present invention is to realise a single-use and single-portion container for alcoholic beverages, in particular for wine or beer, which obviates the above-mentioned technical problems.
  • a further aim is to create a single-use and single-portion container for alcoholic drinks which can be used as a normal meal-time-type beaker for the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
  • a further aim of the invention is to realise a single-use and single-portion container which maintains the aesthetic and taste qualities of the alcoholic beverages before their consumption.
  • a further aim of the invention is to realise a single-use container for wine or beer which can be used while travelling.
  • the aims are attained with a single-use container for alcoholic beverages, as in claim 1, to which reference is made for the sake of brevity.
  • Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a single-use container for alcoholic beverages, denoted in their entirety by number 10.
  • the container 10 exhibits a beaker-shaped containing body 11, made of a plastic material, which is possibly transparent or partially transparent, provided with a slimmer stalk portion 12 and a base 13 for resting the container 10 or only the beaker 11.
  • the base 13 is shaped such that it provides an annular edge 70 of the base, which will come into contact with the rest surface, and a recessed surface 71.
  • the beaker 11 superiorly terminates with an edge 14, provided with a flat annular surface 15, and is superiorly closed by a film 16 provided with a tab 17 for facilitating opening thereof.
  • the film 16 is joined to the flat annular surface 15 of the edge 14, for example by means of heat welding or adhesive.
  • the beaker 11 further includes a protective closing lid 18, applicable onto the edge 14 of the beaker, both when, before use of the beaker, the film 16 is attached to the edge 14, and during the use of the beaker 11 to cover the drink and prevent, for example, its accidental opening.
  • the beaker 11 can be realised by injection moulding.
  • the internal volume of the beaker 11 is calculated in order to contain a predetermined quantity of wine or beer or another alcoholic beverage, for example 200 cc for wine or 350 or 500 cc for beer.
  • the alcoholic drink can be packed in an inert atmosphere, in order to avoid the presence of oxygen during the period preceding the consumption of the drink by the consumer, which would also the physical-chemical and aesthetic/taste qualities of the drink itself.
  • the film 16 can be realised using materials of know type which realise a barrier effect against oxygen.
  • the film can comprise various layers, of which at least one of which realises a barrier effect against oxygen.
  • Materials which are impermeable to gas, for realising the barrier effect can be selected from among PVC (polyvinyl chloride); resins having a high nitrile content; PA (polyamide); EVOH (poly/vinyl alcohol); PEN (polyethylene naphthalate).
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • PA polyamide
  • EVOH poly/vinyl alcohol
  • PEN polyethylene naphthalate
  • the material associated to the side of the film facing the inside of the container can be added-to by chemical substances, such as sodium ascorbate or sodium sulphite, which can chemically react with oxygen, preventing oxidation of the contents both in reaction with the oxygen already present in the container and with the oxygen which might enter it.
  • chemical substances such as sodium ascorbate or sodium sulphite
  • the use of the beaker 11 is extremely simple and convenient for the consumer: after removal of the lid 18 and then the protective film 16, the drink can be consumed as with a normal wine or beer beaker.
  • the lid 18 can also serve to temporarily cover the beaker 11 during pauses in consumption.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the components of a single-use container of a second realisation of the present invention
  • figure 4 shows a detail, in perspective view, of elements of the container of figure 3 .
  • the beaker 11' which is substantially similar to the previously-described one, with the difference that it includes a flat base 72, is contained internally of a substantially cylindrical external container body 21.
  • the external container body 21 exhibits a cylindrical surface 22 and a base 23.
  • the base 23 is shaped such as to include an annular edge 80 of the base, destined to contact the rest surface, and a recessed surface 81.
  • the cylindrical surface 22 is designed to couple with an upper portion of the beaker 11' in the area denoted using numerical reference 49, and this coupling can be realised by means of heat-welding.
  • the coupling can also be realised by gluing.
  • a further possibility for coupling the cylindrical surface 22 with the upper portion of the beaker 11' is to realise, in both elements, an annular groove which defines an edge in relief towards the outside with the aim of enabling a reciprocal coupling by jointing along the groove by means of inserting the annular edge in relief of the beaker in the annular groove of the external container body.
  • the cylindrical surface 22 goes into contact with the lower portion of the edge 14 of the beaker 11', while the base 23 is in contact with the base 72 of the beaker 11'.
  • a hollow space forms 24 between the cylindrical surface 22 of the external container body 21 and the portion of stalk 12 of the beaker 11', which space 24 thermally insulates the beaker 11' from the outside.
  • the cylindrical surface 22 of the external container body 21 can be transparent or partially transparent in order to enable the consumer to see the shape of the beaker 11', or can even be decorated with marks or writing and/or labels.
  • the surface of the external container body can be chosen to be transparent, partially transparent, opaque, not transparent or a combination of these characteristics.
  • Figure 5 illustrates the components of a single-use container of a third embodiment of the present invention and figure 6 shows a detail, in a perspective view, of elements of the container of figure 5 .
  • the beaker 11' is contained internally of the cylindrical external container body 21, but in this case between the base 23 of the cylindrical container body 21 and the base 72 of the beaker 11' there is a small hollow space 23' which insulates the base 72 of the beaker 11' from the outside.
  • an annular welding is made between the upper edge of the external container body 21 and the flat lower surface 15 belonging to the edge 14 of the beaker 11'.
  • Figure 7 shows the components of a single-use container of a fourth embodiment of the present invention and figure 8 shows a detail, in perspective view, of elements of the container of figure 7 .
  • This embodiment comprises a beaker 11" which has a substantially truncoconical shape, terminating with a base 33.
  • the beaker 11" is contained internally of an external container body 21', which is provided with a portion of slim stalk 39 and a base 43 for resting thereof.
  • the surface of the container body 21' is destined to couple with an upper portion of the beaker 11" in the area indicated by numerical reference 59 and the coupling can be realised by heat welding.
  • the coupling can also be realise by gluing.
  • the base 43 is shaped such as to include an annular edge 90 of the base, which contacts the rest surface, and a recessed surface 91.
  • the surface of the container body 21' enters into contact with an upper portion of the beaker 11" and, in the use configuration, enters into contact with the lower portion of the edge 14 of the beaker 11 ", while between the base 43 of the container body 21' and the base 33 of the beaker 11" there is a considerable hollow space 25.
  • the surface of the external container body 21' can be transparent or partially transparent in order to enable the consumer to see the shape of the beaker 11 ", or can be decorated as described above.
  • the external surface of the external container body 21' can also be decorated with marks and writings, or applications of labels.
  • the presence of the hollow space 25 insulates the base 33 of the beaker 11".
  • This hollow space extends upwards, comprising an annular portion of space 26, which separates the surface of the container body 21' from the surface of the beaker 11", contributing to insulate the beaker 11", for example from transmission of heat coming from contact with the consumer's hand.
  • Liquids or solids can be included in the hollow spaces 24 and 25, also having decorative functions, or a high thermal capacity.
