Definitions
- the invention relates to a beverage container with a device for a promotion effect, in particular a beverage container with aerosol Verströmungs liked.
- beverage containers are equipped with facilities for promotional effects that can serve as a promotional tool or as a trademark of the manufacturer.
- This promotional effect can be a visual effect, such as the provision or visualization of a prize or gift, or even an acoustic effect.
- Beverage containers with various promotional effects are known in the art.
- EP 0 839 112 relates to a beverage can containing a prize or prize. Therein, a beverage can is disclosed, in the interior of both the drink, and the price and the necessary equipment for holding and removing the price are arranged.
- a beverage can which has a vertically arranged price or gift holder inside the can, which is positioned just below the drinking opening. By pressing the pull tab the drinking opening is opened and the gift holder from the Interior of the can for visualization of the price or gift partially pushed through the drinking opening.
- some kinds of drinks are filled under a protective atmosphere such as nitrogen to prevent deterioration of the contents.
- a protective atmosphere such as nitrogen to prevent deterioration of the contents.
- Further devices for visual promotional effects may be, for example, sparklers, which are attached as a sales promotion measure to beverage cans or other food packaging become. Here it must be ensured that the promotion effect is not triggered during the consumption of the drink or the food.
- beer bottles As a known example of a device for an acoustic promotion effect of the swing-top closure is to mention beer bottles.
- the disadvantage here is that, in the case of a mere replacement of the swing-top closure, for example in the case of a defect, the beer bottle is also opened at the same time to provide a promotion effect device which avoids the above-mentioned disadvantages.
- the invention is further based on the object to provide a beverage container with a device for a promotional effect, which ensures the taste, color and palatability of the drink.
- the invention is based on the finding that all the above-mentioned objects can be achieved by means of an aerosol flow device and a triggering device mounted on an outside of the beverage container.
- the invention relates to a beverage container with aerosol Verströmungs adopted comprising an opening arranged on an outside of the beverage container opening means for opening a drinking opening cover, and mounted on an outside of the beverage container aerosol Verströmungs adopted containing a pressure vessel for receiving and storing a pressurized propellant gas and a substance to be flowed, a nozzle fluidly connected to the pressure vessel for discharging an aerosol formed from the propellant gas and the substance to be flowed, and a triggering device for opening the nozzle, which releases the aerosol when actuated.
- the beverage container according to the invention has numerous advantages. Since the aerosol-outflow device is mounted on the outside of the beverage container, eliminates during the manufacture of the same time consuming step of introducing and mounting the device in the interior of the container.
- the installation of the device can advantageously be done only after completion and filling of the beverage container.
- the installation of the device can be advantageously carried out in a pre-assembled lid or in a pre-assembled bottom of the beverage container.
- the arrangement of the aerosol Verströmungs also has the advantage that the device can not come into contact with the beverage in the container. Dying, a change in taste or any other contamination of the beverage by the aerosol Verströmungs owned itself or the substances or propellants contained therein can be excluded.
- the arrangement of the aerosol Verströmungs Nurnos, a change in taste or any other contamination of the beverage by the aerosol Verströmungs owned itself or the substances or propellants contained therein can be excluded.
- the arrangement of the aerosol Verströmungs submitted on the outside has the further advantage that the device can be easily and quickly changed or replaced. This is the case, for example, if the device is defective. Separate recycling of the aerosol Verströmungs liked and the rest of the beverage container is not required. In addition, advantageously remains in an exchange or change of the aerosol Verströmungs adopted the protective atmosphere inside the beverage container, if any, unaffected.
- the beverage container according to the invention in addition to the opening means for opening the drinking opening cover additionally has a triggering device which releases the aerosol when actuated, i. E. the promotion effect triggers. With this additional triggering device of the promotion effect can be triggered without the drinking opening of the beverage container is opened.
- the aerosol dispenser is suitable for acoustic, olfactory and / or visual promotional effects.
- the substance to be flowed, which together with the propellant gas forms the aerosol can be selected so that the aerosol flowing out of the nozzle is odor-like and / or visually perceptible.
- the aerosol can also be acoustically perceived by appropriate design of the nozzle, for example as whistling or hissing noise.
- the opening device and / or the aerosol Verströmungs are arranged at the top of the beverage container or at the bottom of the beverage container.
- the opening device and / or the aerosol Verströmungs can also be arranged on a side wall of the beverage container or in an inwardly curved bottom of the beverage container.
- the opening device may be, for example, a tab, a lever or a screw cap.
- the drinking opening cover may for example be a lid, for example made of plastic or sheet metal, or a cling film.
- a combination of opening means and drink-opening cover may be a stay-on-tab closure, a simply-pull closure, or a ring-pull closure, all of which are well known in the art.
- a particularly good stackability of the beverage container according to the invention results from the fact that the aerosol Verströmungs observed is preferably arranged in a recess of the top of the beverage container or in a recess at the bottom of the beverage container.
- the depression is preferably configured such that it can completely absorb the aerosol flow-through device and thus the aerosol flow-through device does not protrude from the depression.
- the recess can also be configured such that only a part of the aerosol Verströmungs adopted is taken up by the depression, and protrudes the remaining part of the recess.
- the pressure vessel can be completely absorbed in the depression, and only the nozzle and the triggering device protrude from the depression.
- the recess may be located centrally or centrally on the top or bottom of the beverage container, or may be located on the top or bottom of the beverage container in the marginal area.
- the triggering device for opening the nozzle may be, for example, a stopper, a screw cap, a lever, a tab or a bracket.
- the nozzle is usually a tube, for example a round or square tube. In the simplest case, however, the nozzle can also be an opening in the pressure vessel.
- the nozzle is connected at its opposite end to the pressure vessel with a cap, and the cap closes the nozzle gas-tight. This premature and unintentional leakage of the propellant gas and the substance to be flowed is prevented and at the same time maintained the pressure of the propellant gas in the pressure vessel.
- breakably connected is meant that the cap can be broken off by mechanical force of the consumer from the end of the nozzle, for example by turning, bending, tilting, Pulling off, tearing off, shearing or lifting the cap. But connected with breakable is also meant that the cap can be canceled by the triggering of a corresponding mechanical device from the end of the nozzle.

- a predetermined breaking point is for example a scoring or notch. The introduction of a predetermined breaking point facilitates the breaking of the breakable connection between the nozzle and the cap when the triggering device is actuated.
- the aerosol flowing out of the nozzle should be olfactorily, acoustically and / or visually perceptible by the consumers.
- the aerosol is formed by swirling and mixing the propellant gas and the substance to be flowed in the pressure vessel and / or the nozzle. Both the pressure vessel and the flow-connected nozzle act here as a vortex chamber or vortex space. The formation of the aerosol thus takes place by dispersion of the substance (s) to be flowed in the propellant gas or propellant gas mixture.
- Non-toxic, odorless and / or low-odor gases are preferably used as the propellant gas. It is further preferred that the propellant gas is inert and does not react chemically with the substance to be flowed. Preferably, the propellant gas is air, N 2 , N 2 0, C0 2 , 0 2 or mixtures thereof.
- the aerosol can be perceived acoustically by the consumer.
- the nozzle is shaped such that the aerosol flowing out of the nozzle is acoustically perceptible.
- the substance to be flowed is preferably non-toxic and inert. Further, the substance to be flowed may be a liquid, a solid, such as particles having an average diameter of 10 -7 to 10 -3 cm, or mixtures thereof The substance to be flowed must be allowed to disperse in the propellant so that an aerosol is formed can.
- the substance to be flowed contains perfumes, fragrances, dyes, water or mixtures thereof.
- Fragrances are naturally occurring fragrances, in particular herbal fragrances such as, for example, fragrances of plants such as roses, lavender, vanilla, citrus, eucalyptus and the like.
- Fragrances are synthetic fragrances such as menthol, vanillin, cinnamaldehyde or the like.
- dyes preferably food dyes are used, such as curcumin (E100), sunset yellow S (E1 10), carotene (E160a), carmine (E120), indigotine (E132), green S (E142), brilliant black BN (E151), titanium dioxide ( E171) or mixtures thereof.

- carotene E160a
- carmine E120
- indigotine E132
- green S E142
- brilliant black BN E151
- titanium dioxide E171
- Preference is given to food colorants which are easily removable from clothing, textiles and surfaces, in particular those which sublime or evaporate without residue. Accordingly, when using dyes, the aerosol is visually perceived by the consumer, for example, as a "color cloud”.
- the propellant gas is preferably in the pressure vessel under a pressure of 1, 25 to 18 bar, more preferably under a pressure of 1, 5 to 15 bar, more preferably under a pressure of 1, 75 to 12 bar, more preferably below a pressure of 2 to 9 bar, more preferably under a pressure of 2.5 to 6 bar and most preferably under a pressure of 3 to 4 bar.
- the pressure vessel preferably has a volume of from 0.5 to 10 cm 3 , more preferably a volume of from 0.75 to 8 cm 3 , more preferably a volume of from 1 to 6 cm 3 , and most preferably a volume of from 2 to 4 cm 3 .
- the amount of propellant introduced into the pressure vessel is such that the aerosol formed is for a period of 0.5 to 10 seconds, more preferably 1 to 8 seconds, even more preferably 1.5 to 6 seconds, and most preferably 2 to 4 s, flows out of the nozzle.
- the opening device is preferably unlocked by actuation of the triggering device.
- unlocking is meant that the operation of the opening means the consumer is made possible only after the actuation of the triggering device.
- the triggering device may be arranged on the beverage container in such a way that, viewed spatially, it is located directly above the opening device or extends over the opening device. The consumer can therefore neither reach the opening device nor operate it. Only after actuation of the triggering device, such as by turning or lifting it, is the underlying or underlying opening device accessible to the consumer, and then the consumer can actuate the opening device.
- the aerosol Verströmungs is located directly next to or near the opening device.
- the pressure vessel made of plastic, metal or a combination thereof.
- the pressure vessel is made of metal, since this has a higher mechanical stability, and thus the propellant can be recorded and stored at a higher pressure compared to plastic containers.
- the metal may be, for example, steel or aluminum.
- the pressure vessel may in principle assume any shape, and be designed, for example, spherical, ellipsoidal, kidney-shaped, cubic or cuboidal.
- the beverage container is preferably made of metal, cardboard, glass, tetra pack, plastic or combinations thereof.
- the beverage container is made of metal.
- the metal may be tinplate or aluminum, for example.
- the beverage container may take a cylindrical shape, such as a can, a cubic or cuboid shape, with the cylindrical shape being preferred.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the beverage container according to the invention with aerosol Verströmungs liked
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a lid of the beverage container according to the invention with recess and dismounted pressure vessel
- FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the lid of the beverage container according to the invention from FIG. 2 with depression and removed pressure container
- Figure 4 is a side view of an aerosol Verströmungs adopted the beverage container according to the invention.
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the beverage container according to the invention with an arranged in the inwardly curved can bottom of the beverage container aerosol Verströmungs liked.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a beverage container (1) according to the invention in the form of a cylindrical beverage can made of tinplate.
- the beverage container has on its upper side (2) a centrally and centrally arranged opening device (3).
- the opening device (3) is formed in this embodiment as a pull tab, which is fixed by means of a rivet (12) rotatably on the upper side (2) of the beverage container (1).
- the pull tab has an extension (1 1), which pushes the scored Trinkö réellesabdeckung (4) by leveraging in the interior of the beverage container (1) when lifting the pull tab and so creates a drinking and pouring.
- This type of opening device (3) and the drinking port cover (4) is also well known as a "stay-on-tab" in the prior art
- the top (2) has an elongated kidney-shaped recess (Fig. 5) between the opening device (3) and the edge (13) of the beverage container (1)
- the depression (5) and the pressure container (7) are designed to be compatible in shape and size the recess (5) are completely accommodated, so that the top of the pressure vessel (7) can be flush with the top (2) of the beverage container (1).
- the pressure vessel (7) is made of aluminum. Its volume is 2 cm 3 and is filled with compressed air under a pressure of 2 bar. Furthermore, liquid water is to be flowed substance in the pressure vessel (7). As can also be seen in FIG. 4, it is on the upper side of the pressure vessel
- a tubular nozzle (8) is arranged, which is fluidly connected to the pressure vessel (7).
- the nozzle (8) is frictionally connected to the cap (10).
- This compound has a predetermined breaking point in the form of an all-round notch.
- the triggering device (9) is designed here as a lever with tab, which is connected with its opposite end of the tab fixed to the cap (10). As can be seen from FIG. 1, the triggering device (9) is positioned in such a way that the lug of the triggering device (9) is arranged spatially exactly above the pull tab of the opening device (3) and thus blocks the opening device (3). As can be seen from Figure 1, the pull tab can not be raised or operated until the lever of the trigger device (9) is actuated. The consumer must therefore first actuate the triggering device (9), in this case turn the lever clockwise or counterclockwise or lift the lever. By this operation of the triggering device (9) breaks the connection between the cap (10) and nozzle
- the triggering device (9) detaches from the nozzle (8) together with the cap (10) and opens it.
- the compressed air in the pressure vessel (7) flows from the pressure vessel (7) through the opened nozzle (8). It comes to swirling and mixing the compressed air with the liquid water both in the pressure vessel (7) and in the nozzle (8). Both the pressure vessel (7) and the nozzle (8) act as a vortex chamber or swirling space. Individual water droplets are entrained by and dispersed in the flowing compressed air, and an aerosol is formed. The aerosol flows out of the nozzle (8) and is visible to the consumer as a mist fountain.
- the consumer can then actuate the accessible pull tab of the opening device (3) to the Open the drinking opening cover (4) and create a drinking or pouring opening.
- FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the beverage container (1) according to the invention.
- the aerosol Verströmungs adopted (6) on the inwardly curved bottom (15) of the beverage container (1) is arranged.
- the pressure vessel (7) of the aerosol Verströmungs worn (6) is shaped so that it can be completely sunk into the bottom (5) of the beverage container (1) or absorbed by this.
- a tubular nozzle (8) is arranged on the pressure vessel (7), which is flow-connected to the pressure vessel (7).
- the triggering device (9) is also designed here as a lever with tab.
