Description
- The present invention relates to an improved device for washing a glass.
- More specifically, the present device is conveniently used for externally rinsing and disinfecting the glasses intended to be subsequently filled with a beverage such as beer and the like.
- In the following, the description will be directed to the use of the device according to the present invention with glasses intended to be filled with beer, but it is clear that the same must not be considered limited to this specific use. This device, in fact, can be advantageously used also with glasses intended to be filled with other drinks, other than beer.
- Currently systems are known to wet the inner part of the glasses to rinse them and lower the temperature, contributing to improve the organoleptic properties of the drink, said systems provide a base, provided with a grid, below which it is placed a nozzle adapted to spray water upwards after an appropriate activation.
- The glass to rinse must be, first, upside down and lean on said base.
- Subsequently, by pressing the glass against said base, the nozzle which comes into operation, activating, delivers a jet of water against the internal surfaces of the glass.
- Examples of known systems are the subject of patent applications
US378621A ,US981433A ,US 1140698A ,US683111A ,GB389787A DE575301A ,FR355227A - These documents describe systems for rinsing glasses both internally, through a nozzle which provides a water jet directed parallel to the symmetry axis of the glass, both externally, by means of openings formed on dispensing members.
- Said dispensing members are shaped so as to direct the water jet on the entire outer surface of the glass, also on the portions distant from the rim, these openings being distant from the supporting surface of the rim of the glass. In this way the glass is completely wet and the area near the rim, where the lips are laid is not disinfected directly by the jet, but only due to the fall of the water. This can result in a non-optimal disinfection of the rim of the glass.
- In other words, these known systems therefore do not allow to wet uniformly and effectively also the surfaces of glasses, and in particular the supporting area for the lips, where greater hygiene is necessary.
- Also, systems according to the prior art have very bulky dispensing members especially when they are installed in structures in which they are located. This implies that they are not easily adaptable to sinks or drains, even of small size, of pubs, bars and the like.
- In light of the above, it is, therefore, object of the present invention to provide an improved device that allows to uniformly wet a glass, even on the outer surface and in particular on the rim.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a device comprising a dispensing element which is compact and easily adaptable to different sinks or drains.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an improved device which allows to uniformly cool a glass.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved device for wetting a glass that is inexpensive and simple to manufacture.
- It is therefore a specific object of the present invention a device for washing a glass comprising a supply duct of a washing liquid, at least one dispensing member comprising at least one ring-shaped dispensing duct having at least one hole for the emission of a jet of said liquid, at least two radial connecting ducts, which connect said dispensing duct to said supply duct, said at least two radial connecting ducts laying on the same plane of said dispensing duct, so as to be capable of supporting the rim of said glass when it is turned upside down, so that said at least one hole of said dispensing duct can emit a jet of liquid on the outer surface portion of said glass, and means for interrupting the flow, for selectively interrupting the passage of said liquid through said supply duct or through said dispensing duct.
- Further according to the invention, said supply duct comprises a support, having an internal cavity for the passage of said liquid, and in that it comprises connecting means to mutually connect said internal cavity and said at least one hole.
- Always according to the invention, said at least one hole is configured so as to emit a liquid jet according to a predetermined trajectory which forms an angle with said predetermined radius comprised between 0 and 90 degrees.
- Still according to the invention, said dispensing duct is a ring with a substantially circular shape.
- Advantageously according to the invention, said connecting means comprise a circumferential inner cavity obtained in said dispensing duct, so as to form a toroid.
- Further according to the invention, said supply duct could have a plurality of holes.
- Always according to the invention, said device could comprise at least one nozzle manually adjustable on each of said holes, to direct the respective jet of liquid.
- Always according to the invention, said dispensing duct is arranged substantially perpendicular with respect to said supply duct.
- Still according to the invention, said device could comprise a further delivery hole to deliver a jet of said liquid according to a predetermined direction passing within said dispensing element, said dispensing duct being in communication with said supply duct and being arranged substantially on the plane in which said radial connecting ducts and said dispensing duct lie.
- Advantageously according to the invention, said predetermined direction is an axial direction with respect to said dispensing duct.
- Further according to the invention, said means for interrupting the flow are configured to allow the passage of a liquid through said supply duct when a pressure equal to, or greater than a given threshold pressure value is exerted on said dispensing element.
- Always according to the invention, said means for interrupting the flow comprise a shutter, arranged in said inner cavity of said support, and a spring arranged between said shutter and said support.
- Still according to the invention, said connecting means comprise a supply duct incorporated in said shutter and communicating with said dispensing duct and with said inner cavity of said support when said flow interruption means are configured so as to allow the passage of a liquid through said internal cavity.
- The present invention will be now described, for illustrative but not limitative purposes, according to its preferred embodiments, with particular reference to the
figure 1 of the enclosed drawing, wherein it is shown a cutaway view of a device for wetting a glass according to the present invention. - Referring to
figure 1 , by reference number 1 it is indicated a device for wetting a glass according to the present invention. - Said device 1 comprises a
support base 2 integrated with agrid 3 for draining liquids to anunderlying tank outflow 4, from which said liquids flow out towards a collecting member, not shown in the figure. - Device 1 includes a
dispensing device 5 formed by asupport 6 having substantially the shape of a cylinder in which an axial through cavity 6' is formed. - This
support 6 is arranged so as to pass through a corresponding opening formed in saidtank outflow 4, to which it is firmly anchored by means of suitable removable connecting means. - On the lower part of the support 6 a connecting
member 10 is mounted, adapted to allow the connection of a water supply duct (not shown in the figure). -
Support 6 has, in correspondence of the axial through cavity 6', a narrowing 6", through which a substantially cylinder-shapedshutter 7 is enabled to slide. - This
shutter 7 provides, internally, with anaxial feed duct 12 which flows on the top with an axial dispensing hole 12' directed according to a predetermined axial direction D, and communicating, at the bottom, with said axial through cavity 6' of thesupport 6 using at least one portion of the radial duct. - On the outer surface of the
shutter 7 a circumferential groove is obtained, in which afirst ring seal 8a is housed, adapted to provide a seal between saidshutter 7 and the narrowing 6" of thesupport 6. - In correspondence of its lower end, this
shutter 7 has a head shutter 7' having asecond ring seal 8b, arranged facing said narrowing 6" and configured to form a seal when saidsecond seal 8b abuts with the lower part of said narrowing 6". - In correspondence of an intermediate axial position, the
shutter 7 has a widenedportion 7" in the radial direction. - Within the
support 6 there is aspring 9 arranged between the narrowing 6" of saidsupport 6 and theenlarged portion 7" of theshutter 7, in order to induce the ring seal 8 to abut on the bottom of said narrowing 6", so obstructing said axial through cavity 6'. - The
dispensing device 5 also comprises a dispensingduct 11, which in this embodiment is a circular-shaped ring, having a circumferential internal cavity 11' and arranged in correspondence with an opening 3' formed in thegrid 3, substantially orthogonal with respect to theshutter 7. - In particular, said dispensing
duct 11 is mounted on anupper portion 7a of theshutter 7, axially projecting from theunderlying support 6, through a plurality ofradial connecting ducts 11a, so as to make mutually communicating the circumferential inner cavity 11' of said dispensingduct 11 and theaxial supply duct 12 of theshutter 7, through said plurality ofradial connecting ducts 11a. - Said plurality of
radial connecting ducts 11a is adapted to support the rim of the glass and lies on the same plane of said dispensingduct 11. - In particular, said plurality of
radial connecting ducts 11a is substantially coplanar with said dispensingduct 11, so as to be arranged in correspondence with said opening 3' formed in saidgrid 3. - On the upper part of the dispensing
duct 11 a plurality of dispensing throughholes 13 communicating with said dispensing circumferential internal cavity 11' is obtained. - Said dispensing through
holes 13 extend along an entire circumference of said dispensingduct 11 and are configured so as to deliver related fluid jets directed substantially towards said predetermined axial direction D. - On said through
holes 13 manually adjustable dispensing nozzle can be arranged (not shown in the figures), in order to better direct the respective jet of liquid. - According to a variant of the device 1, it may include, further, a cooling system - not shown in the figure for simplicity of representation - arranged upstream of the
support 6 and capable to cool the liquid before it passes through saidsupport 6. - For the operation of the device 1 it is required, first, connecting the
support 6 to means for feeding water or other liquid, such as a solenoid pump, for example through a tube connected to the above mentionedconnection member 10. - Once the above connection is carried out, the device 1, therefore, becomes operational.
- To wet a glass B by device 1, it is necessary, first of all, overturn said glass B with the related containing cavity facing downwards and placing it on the
radial connecting ducts 11a of thedispensing device 5. - Exerting a pressure on the cup B such as to overcome the opposition of the
spring 9, theshutter 7 with itssecond seal 8b moves downwards, allowing the passage of water through theaxial supply duct 12. - At this point, the water, being capable to freely flow in the
axial supply duct 12, reaches the axial dispensing hole 12' and the throughholes 13 formed in thering dispensing duct 11, thus producing a jet of water substantially axially directed towards the inner surfaces of the glass B and a plurality of water jets directed toward the outer surfaces of said glass B, each according to a trajectory such as to form an angle with a radius of said dispensingduct 11 comprised between 0°and 90°. - In this way, thus, the glass B is wet both internally and externally. In particular, since the rim of the glass B is positioned on said plurality of
radial connecting ducts 11a, the water coming out from said supply throughholes 13, formed in the dispensingduct 11, coplanar with said plurality ofradial connecting ducts 11a, is conveyed directly on the rim of the glass B ensuring a selective washing. - Glass B is possibly also cooled both on the inner surface for containing the liquid, and on the outside.
- Furthermore, in case of the device 1 also provides for the above cooling system, the water that wets the glass B also determines a generalized and uniform cooling.
- The beer poured into a so wet and cooled glass will show an optimal quantity and quality of foam, so as to make its tasting more pleasant.
- A further advantage of this device is given by the cool sensation perceived by the consumer when leans his lips on the rim of the glass to drink the beer, or other beverage contained in this glass. In fact, the external cooling improves the effects of cooling inside the glass.
- The present invention has been described for illustrative but not limitative purposes, according to its preferred embodiments, but it is to be understood that modifications and/or changes can be introduced by those skilled in the art without departing from the relevant scope as defined in the enclosed claims.
