INSTRUCTIONS: The present invention relates to a beverage frothing device, which is generally referred to as a piece. When a carbonated beverage is supplied at a low temperature such as a tank or a container such as a can or bottle, c〇2 is in the water. The solubility increases with decreasing temperature, which means that the beverage does not give the appearance of being carbonated at all because most of the c〇2 remains in solution and does not appear in the form of gas bubbles rising through the liquid.

The ups and downs of gas bubbles and "bubbles" make beer not attractive to many consumers. It is known to provide a container containing beer, such as a bottle or can, which has a 2 or a member. In the case of opening the container, the micro-high-milk spray W is typically placed in the air, and the beer is introduced into the beer. This gas jet is applied in the vicinity of the member to apply a high-flow flow to the phase and the flow is caused to increase substantially. Objective 〇) 2 gas red disproportion thus causing a rapid foaming on the beer, so that after a few seconds from the lazy phase of the container, it has two known forms of components expected by the consumer, the first is a pre-stressed form and ^A typical small-bottom small fluid storage chamber for a beverage container = the bribe chamber has a small gas discharge to the wall, and the member is inserted into the chamber to fill the storage chamber and the storage chamber and then at all Immediately sealed, the gas pressure in the cavity is increased by 6 I3〇92i 8 · The degree of storage surface 'No gas can leave the storage until the benefits open and the dust in the headspace drops to the atmosphere. Process, for example, when The diverted gas passes through the holes and is slightly powerful; the radiation is discharged into the beer and produces the desired appearance. However, in practice, this is expensive, and the components of the air intake method using the so-called purge gas have become The more common - 'such a component does not provide _ force gas feed before inserting the capacity, but = for gas filling when the component is in the container when the fuel is known, the means of the method include The storage chamber is weighted and constructed to be floated on the surface of the beer in advance and positioned to have a one-way gas inlet valve above the liquid surface and a gas discharge orifice below the surface of the (four) surface. The member is placed in the container and the liquid nitrogen is floated in the friend's face and small volume in advance, and is also inserted into the container, such as on the surface of the beer, nitrogen, immediately _ gas 由此 由此 ( ( ( ( 触 触 有 有 有 有 有 有 有Before the gasification is completed, 'the container is closed and sealed and the remaining oxygen is then pressed against the headspace'. This increased pressure is transmitted to the inside of the storage chamber, which is then supplied via the milk inlet valve to the house through nitrogen gas, when the container is opened and the headspace is opened. When the pressure Γ drops to a large _, The glutamic nitrogen is discharged into the beer through the milk discharge orifice by a small quick mouth spray and then the desired effect of the appearance of the beer is poured out from the container. However, the county has a one-way coffee maker. Expensive and inserting components into the container is an additional manufacturing step, which essentially increases manufacturing costs. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a beverage frothing device which is more known, cheaper and simpler and further reduced in the manufacturing method. The number of steps required 曰f) 7 1309218 According to the present invention, the seal of the beverage container comprises a sealing plate and a diaphragm, and the same as the definition of the storage chamber, the gas inlet/exit orifice is formed therein. The movable portion can be relatively small: == is connected to the remaining diaphragm to the annular folding line, thereby moving more than the rotation; the thinning of the contact (four) portion produces the rotation movement along the hybrid line and the generation of the movement away from the remaining The movement of the relatively movable portion of the diaphragm.

Inject into the beverage, and force the gas, such as nitrogen, to feed the fluid-d; The amount of liquid injected into the beverage chamber, however, may also enter the storage 8 1309218 from the entry/exhaustion aperture σ on the wrong side to the fact that any such liquid will immediately lie above the opening in the normal orientation of the container. And so it will be discharged first by the gas pressure above it and then by the gas itself. ...a beverage gauge device consisting of a gambling and a gambling hood is a type of air-intake mode. When used, the container is filled with liquid, typically beer, filled with a small amount of liquid gas, typically nitrogen, to the top of the container. Space, after the atmospheric pressure of the headspace is removed by evaporation of nitrogen but before all • nitrogen is evaporated and escaping, the closure is then quickly applied to the vessel, and the remaining liquid nitrogen is then pressurized to the headspace of the vessel to build the membrane and The bottle is filled to a liquid level such that the gas inlet/discharge orifice is located above the liquid level, and the increased pressure in the headspace is thereby communicated with the fluid storage chamber, the flow f storage chamber being finely packed with pressurized nitrogen gas when the closure When the cover is to be removed from the container, the gas seal breaks and the pressure in the headspace suddenly drops to the atmosphere [because its external pressure is substantially less than its internal pressure, this pressure difference is caused by the application of the movable portion of the diaphragm. The moving part immediately moves the (four) plate to a degree that is sufficient for the Wei body to turn the person/flip hole to a position lower than the liquid level. A significant proportion of the nitrogen gas occurs before the fluid storage chamber escapes, and the pressurized nitrogen gas in the fluid storage chamber or the liquid below the nitrogen gas pressurized nitrogen gas is then discharged into the chamber with a small amount of pressure under the pressure difference. The liquid in the container and the desired flow and mixing, and in the case of bartender, the desired bubbles on the surface. As a result of the fact that the infusion device or component is an integral part of the closure of the container, the number of steps required to simultaneously apply the closure to the container and the method of manufacture is thus reduced, and no one-way valve is required because it is formed in the flow 1309218 = The orifice is placed in the head space. When the container is sealed, it is located in the liquid when the seal is broken. The material partition _ can be made of various materials, but it is preferably made by Na 2: manufacturing, preferably the movable part of the remaining diaphragm, and the gas entering the sister (4) must be sufficient to enter the drinking force. 3 = sufficient to cause significant turbulence but small enough to ensure that the pressure is 〇 _ escaping from it. In practice, it is preferred to have a diameter of between ^ and 0.5 mm, such as about 3 mm. = Fluid storage (4) Volume must of course be sufficient to store enough pressure. 'Two functions to perform the desired function and Wei in h5 and 4Q cubes a, - is sufficient for this purpose and can be used for money. Part ================================================================================================= The vertical movement of the entry/exit orifice of the early can not be good. Herein, and in the formula 2, the modified shape of the limbs is replaced by a specific embodiment in which the movable portion has more than eight capsules or depressions extending away from the sealing plate == regarding the beverage and the upper The present invention also includes a beverage container 1309218 containing the above-mentioned k and reduced (four) lid seals in the carbonated field. The body storage chamber contains the pressurized gas and the gas inlet/discharge orifice is placed at the liquid level _L. The construction and configuration is such that the application of the pressure greater than the storage to the outside of the storage chamber creates the movable portion away from the sealing plate such that the gas enters the pupil σ below the liquid level. The container closure can be used in a wide variety of forms and can thus be in the form of a conventional cap that is applied to a beverage bottle, in which case it includes a closure panel that extends beyond the mouth of the bottle and is attached to the periphery thereof as a unitary (four) flange . Or 'the sealing cover may only constitute a lid of the can, which is manually movable by a pull ring or the like'. In this case, the sealing cover may be substantially a planar structure constituting a single thin metal plate, of course connected to On the underside is a membrane with which the fluid storage chamber is defined. The first figure shows the upper part of the beer bottle 2, and the beer bottle is filled with beer to the liquid level 4 and has a ride 6. Below the fresh edge, the outer side of the neck surface is the downward facing shoulder 8 . _ First Senso Temple Figures 1 and 2, the bottle is sealed with a sealing cover containing the sealing plate 1 (), 10 is concavely shaped and then extends a certain distance into the outer edge and extension of the bottle's 'fee sealing plate 10' The annular web 12 over the edge of the bottle is constructed of wire, and integrally formed with the outer edge of the web 12 is a vertical core edge U' which extends downwardly along the upper portion of the neck. a sealing flange 18 that is integrally formed with the hanging edge μ and integrally connected to the hanging edge by the integral hinge 16. The sealing flange 18 is elongated and substantially flat 2 in the longitudinal center axis of the bottle and Having a % of the surface substantially perpendicular to the axial extent of the bottle, the free end of the loyalty flange 18 conforms to the lower side 1309218 side of the shoulder 8 and holds the lid in place on the bottle, the seal being applied to the bottle such that The hanging edge 14 is taut "therefore the sealing flange 8 is pulled up in contact with the shoulder 8 and thereby forms a seal, which tension also pulls the annular web 12 down to the edge of the bottle The contact and thereby form a further seal. In this particular embodiment, the unitary hinge 16 is resilient and urges the sealing flange 18 inwardly into contact with the outer surface of the neck of the bottle and thereby forms a further seal. The sealing cap described so far constitutes a plastic material, such as integral injection molding of polypropylene. However, the sealing cap also comprises a further integral injection of polypropylene or the like having a circular concave shape of the membrane 20 The outer edge is connected to the bottom side of the annular web 12 and between the web and the edge of the bottle. The connection of the diaphragm to the web can be joined to the web by welding or adhesive or by sliding into the edge of the diaphragm. Or the groove or the like of the plate 1' or the web 12 or the plate 10 may have an annular swelled bead, the edge of the membrane may be fitted into the membrane and the membrane may be followed by a small shape resistant to its elasticity. The extent is kept in place. The outer portion of the membrane is thus lightly sealed to the lower side of the web I2 # and the outer edge of the membrane 2 : the web 12 drives the seal into the seal with the edge of the bottle. The degree of _ is greater than the concavity of the sealing plate 10, so that the space defined between the two members is a fluid storage chamber 22. A movable portion that is shaped like a center of the barrier 2 (in this case) It is composed of a money tube 24), the upper end of the hanging tube is open, so that the inside of the tube communicates with the fluid storage chamber 22, and the lower end of the tube 24 is substantially closed by the plate or web 26, in which, for example, its center Formed is a gas inlet/discharge orifice 28, at least one The tube 12 1309218 24 has an angular structure and a ridge, and a plurality of pairs of opposite concentric lines are formed along the length thereof, and the two solid lines are opposite to each adjacent folding line. The sealing flange 18 is initially extended to the middle wire of the downward and toward the cover, which is similar to that of the county. 2 The crotch portion and the sealing flange 18 drink the outer surface of the copper portion and gradually rotate the elastic integral fitting 16 upwards. The diaphragm 2 is moved to the outer edge of the outer casing (4) but is Sealing cap: the downward pressure is increased, whereby the micro-wet touches the annular web η = edge' the free end of the sealing flange 18 now passes through the lower pointed shoulder 8 of the neck of the bottle and the whole The spring force of the chick 16 then rapidly rotates the flange 18 inwardly to a position below the shoulder 16. The downward pressure applied to the sealing cap and the elastic force of the compressed portion of the diaphragm 2 and the web η are then removed to pull the sealing flange 18 upwardly to urge the free end surface into the seal with the bottom side of the shoulder 8. The seal between the upper edge of the edge of the bottle and the bottom side of the diaphragm 2 is maintained during the contract and the residual tensile stress is maintained at the hanging edge 14^. The closure now forms a reliable airtight seal for the bottle. The container is filled with a beverage, such as beer, to a level 4 not far below the diaphragm before it is applied with the closure. The level 4 is level to the length of the tube 24 such that the sealing plate 26 and thus the gas in/out port 28 are located above the level 4. When the sealing cap is applied to the bottle, a small volume of liquid nitrogen is immediately introduced into the surface of the liquid, and the liquid nitrogen starts to evaporate at 13 1309218, thereby displaces all atmospheric oxygen as described above, and then evaporates.

When the removal method is carried out, the bottle = airtight rupture and the headspace is vented to the atmosphere, so its pressure is rapidly reduced to atmospheric pressure. However, 'the very small diameter of the gas discharge hole π 28 such as 0.3 mm' indicates that the Zhao storage chamber 22 cannot be exhausted downward to atmospheric pressure as quickly as possible and therefore the pressure in the chamber 22 is higher than the pressure in the headspace. The high fact now exists - the pressure difference across the barrier 2, which increases the pressure on the sealing plate 26 at the bottom of the tube 24 and causes the tube 24 to extend rapidly, i.e. by the adjacent wall of the tube 24 The portion increases its length along the rotation of the fold line between them. The tube 24 is constructed and dimensioned such that an almost immediate increase in length produces its lower end and then the gas inlet/discharge orifice 28 moves to a position below the level 4 of the liquid in the bottle, as shown in Figure 2. Show. The high pressure nitrogen gas within the storage chamber 22 is now injected into the liquid via the orifice 28 as a fine high velocity fluid, typically beer, to produce the benefits mentioned above. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate a second embodiment and the use of the same reference numeral 14 1309218 to indicate similar components. This particular embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in that the (four) portion of the diaphragm 2G can be constructed of a tube or a pocket, which extends downwardly from the diaphragm at its center. The bladder 30 includes a short vertical core 9 32 having an upper edge integrally formed with the remaining barrier and a lower edge joined by two pairs of oppositely directed center folds #34, with an annular web 36 extending therebetween. The _ age is again fine, when viewed from above and centered for the entry/exit aperture 28. The innermost web is formed with the upper end of the other hanging body, the upper end of which is _ and its lower end is closed by the domain web 26, such as a gas inlet/discharge orifice 28 formed at its center. The operation of this particular embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. When the lid is removed and the headspace of the bottle is vented to atmospheric pressure, there is a pressure across the diaphragm - the pressure differential creates the adjacent web 36 along the insertion. The fold line 34 rotates in the opposite direction. The bladder 3G then moves down to the fourth position, wherein the orifice 28 is located below the surface of the beer and the pressurized gas in the storage chamber 22 is then injected into the beer. • It will be appreciated that several modifications can be made to the above-described embodiments so that the diaphragm can be attached to the sealing cover 1 by any suitable means including a broken connection. The diaphragm can be significantly smaller than the sealing plate and will not be pinched in the case = and Between the edges of the container. Although it is preferred that the movable portion of the diaphragm extends downwardly below the remaining diaphragm before it is moved downward by the pressure differential, this is not necessary and the movable portion may be located substantially in the surrounding portion of the remaining diaphragm. The same plane. 15 J309218 Schematic description of the characteristics of the month and the details will be made by the bundle = 彳 = 妓贱 制订 办 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =対的段视^ The axial area of the top part of the gas seal before the seal
