DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
APARATO CONSERVADOR DEL CONTENIDO EN ENVASES.CONSERVATOR APPARATUS OF CONTENTS IN PACKAGING.
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención, según se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un aparato conservador del contenido en envases, previsto para su aplicación tanto en la conversación de bebidas (vinos y similares) como de alimentos u otros productos que sean de naturaleza orgánica o inorgánica. El aparato ha sido concebido para introducir un gas en el envase contenedor del producto que se pretende conservar, con el fin de crear una atmósfera no perjudicial que evita la oxidación.The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a device for preserving the contents of packages, intended for application both in the conversation of beverages (wines and the like) and of food or other products that are of organic or inorganic nature. The apparatus has been designed to introduce a gas into the container container of the product to be preserved, in order to create a non-detrimental atmosphere that prevents oxidation.
Por lo tanto, el objeto de la invención es colaborar en la conservación del contenido de envases en los que existe, además del propio contenido, un cierto volumen de aire cuya oxidación lleva consigo el deterioro del contenido.Therefore, the object of the invention is to collaborate in the conservation of the content of packages in which there is, in addition to the content itself, a certain volume of air whose oxidation leads to deterioration of the content.
ANTEDECENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
La conservación de determinados productos, como puede ser el vino, una vez abierto el envase o recipiente que los contiene y consumido parte de aquél, se realiza mediante el vaciado o extracción del aire que está por encima del producto, sellándose a continuación el envase. De esta manera se logra evitar la oxidación, obviamente por falta de oxígeno.The preservation of certain products, such as wine, once the container or container containing them has been opened and part of it has been consumed, is carried out by emptying or extracting the air that is above the product, then sealing the container. In this way it is possible to avoid oxidation, obviously due to lack of oxygen.
En tal sentido, puede citarse la Patente europea B- 0234607 en la que se describe un método y aparato con los que se puede realizar la conservación, para lo cual se coloca un tapón especial en el cuello de la botella, estando aquél afectado de una ranura que actúa como válvula de retención que se abre si crea un vacío sobre el tapón, pero que se cierra de nuevo cuando la presión externa es mayor que la presión interior de la botella. Para crear un vacío sobre el tapón, se usa una bomba de succión manual, contando además con medios que determinan cuando ha alcanzado el vacío adecuado, aunque no resultan prácticos ni precisos en su función.In this regard, European Patent B-0234607 can be cited in which a method and apparatus with which conservation can be performed is described, for which a special cap is placed on the neck of the bottle, being affected by a slot that acts as a check valve that opens if it creates a vacuum on the cap, but closes again when the external pressure is greater than the internal pressure of the bottle. To create a vacuum over the plug, it It uses a manual suction pump, also having means that determine when it has reached the right vacuum, although they are neither practical nor precise in its function.
Igualmente, puede citarse la Patente americana 4684033, en la que se describe un sistema que permite conservar el vino después de haber sido abierta la botella y consumido parte del contenido. En este caso, se utiliza una vejiga que se introduce en el envase o botella y después se infia para llenar el espacio determinado por encima del líquido e impedir que el oxígeno llegue al vino. La operación de tener que introducir la vejiga en el interior de la botella supone una cierta habilidad manual, necesitando que la vejiga se lave y se limpie después de cada uso .Likewise, US Patent 4684033 can be cited, in which a system is described that allows the wine to be preserved after the bottle has been opened and part of the contents consumed. In this case, a bladder is used that is inserted into the container or bottle and then inflated to fill the determined space above the liquid and prevent oxygen from reaching the wine. The operation of having to introduce the bladder inside the bottle implies a certain manual ability, requiring that the bladder be washed and cleaned after each use.
Igualmente, se puede citar la Patente americana 4932561 en la que se describe un sistema para conservar bebidas carbonatadas o no carbonatadas, en una botella, después de haber abierto ésta, basándose en el mantenimiento de una presión superatmosferica en la bebida con aire comprimido, dióxido de carbono u otros gases, permitiendo conservar el gas sin que la bebida se quede sin él, pudiendo además mantener automáticamente la presión en la botella durante un tiempo predeterminado cuando se sirve liquido.Likewise, one can cite US Patent 4932561 in which a system for preserving carbonated or non-carbonated beverages is described, in a bottle, after opening it, based on the maintenance of a super-thermospheric pressure in the beverage with compressed air, dioxide of carbon or other gases, allowing to conserve the gas without the drink running out of it, and can also automatically maintain the pressure in the bottle for a predetermined time when liquid is served.
En la Patente española ES 2074664 se describe otro aparato para conservar el contenido de un recipiente de bebidas, preferentemente y fundamentalmente vinos espumosos o no espumosos, basándose en la creación en el envase de una presión superatmosferica para bebidas carbonatadas o espumadas, o bien una presión subatmosferica para bebidas no espumosas.In Spanish Patent ES 2074664 another apparatus for preserving the contents of a beverage container, preferably and mainly sparkling or non-sparkling wines, is described, based on the creation in the container of a super-thermospheric pressure for carbonated or foamed beverages, or a pressure Subatmospheric for non-foamy drinks.
En este caso, se utiliza una caja con un conducto en comunicación con una bomba de succionado o de impulsión de aire, y con una boquilla sobre la que es acoplable el tapón del envase, incorporando dicho tapón medios valvulares para permitir el paso del aire desde el recipiente al conducto en el que está la bomba y para cerrar el paso una vez conseguido el vaciado, todo ello en combinación con medios de activación de la bomba cuando se acopla el tapón sobre la boquilla prevista en la caja. También incluye una válvula de descarga y medios de activación automática de la misma y de parada de la bomba para dejar de succionar una vez alcanzado el nivel de vaciado preestablecido .In this case, a box with a conduit is used in communication with a suction or air discharge pump, and with a nozzle on which the container cap is attachable, said cap incorporating valve means to allow the passage of air from the container to the duct in which the pump is and to close the passage once the emptying is achieved, all in combination with means of activation of the pump when the cap is attached on the nozzle provided in the box. It also includes a discharge valve and means of automatic activation of the pump and stopping the pump to stop sucking once the preset drain level has been reached.
El aparato descrito en esta Patente española es complejo y requiere además tapones especiales .The apparatus described in this Spanish Patent is complex and also requires special plugs.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El aparato de la invención, basado igualmente en una caja comunicada por un lado con un recipiente de gas y por otro lado con una boquilla acoplable al envase contenedor del producto que se pretende conservar, presenta la particularidad de que en el interior de la caja se ha previsto una cámara intermedia entre la comentada fuente de alimentación de gas o recipiente y la boquilla acoplable al envase, incluyendo el conducto de acceso a tal cámara una válvula de llenado relacionada con un órgano de mando cuya actuación lleva consigo la apertura de dicha válvula de llenado y con ello el paso de gas desde el recipiente contenedor de tal gas hacia la cámara intermedia, mientras que en el conducto de salida de esta cámara intermedia hacia la boquilla se ha previsto una segunda válvula, en este caso de salida, relacionada con otro órgano de mando cuya actuación lleva consigo la apertura de dicha válvula de salida hacia la boquilla, estando ésta comunicada directamente con el envase contenedor del producto a conservar. El recipiente de gas puede o no ser independiente de la caja, así como que ésta forme parte del envase. Si el recipiente de gas y caja forman un conjunto, dicho conjunto puede formar parte del envase.The apparatus of the invention, also based on a box communicated on one side with a gas container and on the other hand with a nozzle attachable to the container container of the product to be preserved, has the particularity that inside the box It has provided an intermediate chamber between the aforementioned gas or container power supply and the nozzle attachable to the container, including the access duct to such chamber a filling valve related to a control organ whose action involves opening said valve. filling and with it the passage of gas from the container container of such gas to the intermediate chamber, while in the outlet duct of this intermediate chamber towards the nozzle a second valve is provided, in this case of exit, related to another control unit whose action involves opening said outlet valve to the nozzle, which is directly communicated with the go container of the product to conserve. The gas container may or may not be independent of the box, as well as that it is part of the container. If the gas container and box form an assembly, said assembly can be part of the container.
De esta manera, y partiendo del hecho de que las válvulas se encuentran normalmente en posición de cierre, es decir, en reposo, la actuación apropiada sobre dichos órganos de mando permiten el paso de gas hacia el envase contenedor del producto que se pretende conservar, concretamente, al actuar sobre el órgano de mando de llenado se abre la válvula de llenado y se introduce gas en la cámara intermedia, de manera que una vez alcanzada en ésta una presión preestablecida, uno u otro órgano de mando pueden indicar mediante la oportuna señal dicha situación. A partir de este momento, y una vez acoplada la caja al envase contenedor del producto a conservar, se actúa a tope sobre el segundo órgano de mando para conseguir la apertura de la válvula asociada al mismo, pasando el gas desde dicha cámara hacia la boquilla y por lo tanto hacia el envase, modificando la atmósfera en éste.In this way, and based on the fact that the valves are normally in the closed position, that is, at rest, the appropriate action on said control elements allows the passage of gas into the container container of the product to be preserved, specifically, when acting on the filling control element, the filling valve is opened and gas is introduced into the intermediate chamber, so that once a preset pressure has been reached therein, one or the other organ They can indicate this situation by means of the appropriate signal. From this moment, and once the box is attached to the container container of the product to be preserved, the second control element is operated fully to achieve the opening of the valve associated with it, passing the gas from said chamber to the nozzle and therefore towards the container, modifying the atmosphere in it.
El aparato se complementa con una válvula de seguridad dispuesta en un conducto de evacuación que comunica la cámara intermedia con el exterior, de modo que cuando alcanza una sobrepresión determinada en aquella se produce la apertura automática de dicha válvula de seguridad para la evacuación al exterior del gas sobrante.The apparatus is complemented by a safety valve disposed in an evacuation duct that communicates the intermediate chamber with the outside, so that when it reaches a certain overpressure there is an automatic opening of said safety valve for evacuation to the outside of the leftover gas
BREVE DESCRIPCIÓN DE LOS DIBUJOSBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Para complementar la descripción que seguidamente se va a realizar y con objeto de ayudar a una mejor comprensión de las características del invento, se acompaña a la presente memoria descriptiva de una hoja única de planos en la que se ha representado esquemáticamente una vista del aparato aplicado sobre un envase contenedor de un líquido, todo ello realizado de acuerdo con el objeto de la invención.In order to complement the description that is to be carried out below and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, the present specification is accompanied by a single sheet of drawings in which a view of the applied apparatus has been schematically represented on a container containing a liquid, all carried out in accordance with the object of the invention.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA FORMA DE REALIZACIÓN PREFERIDADESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
A la vista de la comentada figura, puede observarse cómo el aparato de la invención se constituye a partir de una caja 1 en comunicación con un recipiente 2 contenedor de un gas destinado éste a modificar la atmósfera en el interior del envase 3 contenedor del producto que se quiere conservar, en este caso un volumen de líquido 4, como puede ser vino.In view of the aforementioned figure, it can be seen how the apparatus of the invention is constituted from a box 1 in communication with a container 2 container of a gas intended to modify the atmosphere inside the container 3 container of the product that You want to keep, in this case a volume of liquid 4, such as wine.
En la caja 1 se incluye una cámara intermedia 5, de un volumen determinado, la cual está comunicada con el recipiente contenedor del gas 2 a través de un conducto 6, mientras que entre la cámara 5 referida y la correspondiente boquilla 8 acoplable en la embocadura del envase 3, se ha previsto otro conducto 7 que se comunica con el conducto 9 previsto en la boquilla 8 a través de cuyo conducto 9 el gas pasará directamente al envase 3.In the box 1 an intermediate chamber 5 is included, of a certain volume, which is communicated with the gas container 2 through a conduit 6, while between the referred chamber 5 and the corresponding nozzle 8 attachable in the mouth of the container 3, another conduit 7 is provided that communicates with the conduit 9 provided in the nozzle 8 through whose conduit 9 the gas will pass directly to the container 3.
En el conducto 6 que comunica la cámara 5 con el recipiente contenedor de gas 2, se ha previsto una válvula de llenado 10 asociada a un órgano de mando 11, mientras que en el conducto 7 se ha previsto una segunda válvula de salida 12 asociada a un nuevo órgano de mando 13, de manera tal que las válvulas 10 y 12, de acuerdo con la actuación de los respectivos órganos de mando 11 y 13, se abrirán o cerrarán para permitir el paso en el primer caso hacia la cámara 5, y en el segundo caso desde esta cámara 5 hacia el conducto 9 de la boquilla 8 y, por lo tanto, hacia el envase 3 contenedor del producto 4 a conservar. Tales órganos de mando 11 y 13 pueden estar constituidos por sendos pulsadores o tiradores.In the conduit 6 that communicates the chamber 5 with the gas container 2, a filling valve 10 is provided associated with a control element 11, while in the conduit 7 a second outlet valve 12 is provided associated with a new control element 13, such that the valves 10 and 12, in accordance with the operation of the respective control elements 11 and 13, will open or close to allow passage in the first case into the chamber 5, and in the second case, from this chamber 5 towards the conduit 9 of the nozzle 8 and, therefore, towards the container 3 container of the product 4 to be preserved. Such control elements 11 and 13 may be constituted by two push buttons or handles.
De acuerdo con las características referidas, cuando se presiona el órgano de mando de llenado 11, se introduce gas procedente del recipiente 2 en la cámara intermedia 5, ya que la actuación sobre ese órgano de mando 11 lleva consigo la apertura de la válvula 10 y por lo tanto el paso de gas desde el recipiente 2 a dicha cámara 5. En este caso es indiferente que la caja 1, o lo que es igual el conjunto del aparato, estén o no situados o acoplados sobre el correspondiente envase 3, ya que la válvula 12 se mantiene cerrada y por lo tanto impide la salida del gas.According to the aforementioned characteristics, when the filling control element 11 is pressed, gas from the container 2 is introduced into the intermediate chamber 5, since the action on that control element 11 leads to the opening of the valve 10 and therefore the passage of gas from the container 2 to said chamber 5. In this case it is indifferent that the box 1, or what is the same as the whole of the apparatus, whether or not they are located or coupled on the corresponding container 3, since valve 12 is kept closed and therefore prevents the gas from escaping.
Una vez que la cámara de aire 5 alcance una presión preestablecida, uno u otro órgano de mando indicarán dicha situación, pudiéndose realizar porque el vastago del órgano de mando 13 se desplace una cierta longitud, dejando entonces de presionar el órgano de mando llenado de 11. A partir de este momento, y cuando se desee, se acopla el conjunto del aparato o caja 1 sobre el cuello del envase 3, en caso de no haber sido acoplado con anterioridad, y una vez acoplado se lleva a cabo el presionado a fondo del órgano de mando de salida 13, abriéndose la válvula 12 y dejando pasar el gas contenido en la cámara 5 hacia el conducto 9 de la boquilla 8 y por lo tanto hacia el envase 3 contenedor del producto 4 que se quiere conservar, modificando adecuadamente la atmósfera del mismo.Once the air chamber 5 reaches a preset pressure, one or the other control organ will indicate said situation, being able to be carried out because the rod of the control element 13 moves a certain length, then ceasing to press the filled control element of 11 From this moment, and when desired, the assembly of the apparatus or box 1 is coupled on the neck of the container 3, if it has not been previously coupled, and once coupled, the thorough pressing is carried out of the outlet control member 13, the valve 12 opening and allowing the gas contained in the chamber 5 to pass through the passage 9 of the nozzle 8 and therefore towards the container 3 container of the product 4 that is to be conserved, adequately modifying its atmosphere.
Por lo tanto, una señal proporcionada por uno u otro órgano de mando 11 o 13, indicará que se ha alcanzado la presión preestablecida en la cámara de aire 5.Therefore, a signal provided by one or other control unit 11 or 13 will indicate that the preset pressure in the air chamber 5 has been reached.
Cuando en la cámara intermedia 5 se produce una sobrepresión, como consecuencia de la apertura que se establece por medio del órgano de mando 11, una válvula de seguridad 15 establecida en un conducto de evacuación 14 se abre y a través de tal conducto 14 se evacúa el sobrante de la cámara 5 al exterior, es decir a la atmósfera.When in the intermediate chamber 5 an overpressure occurs, as a result of the opening that is established by means of the control element 11, a safety valve 15 established in an evacuation conduit 14 is opened and through such conduit 14 the leftover from chamber 5 outside, that is to the atmosphere.
Finalmente, decir que el recipiente 2 contenedor del gas puede ser independiente del conjunto del aparato o formar parte de la caja 1 como elemento fundamental de dicho conjunto. También cabe la posibilidad de que la caja 1 forme parte del envase 3, así como que el recipiente 2 y caja 1 formen un conjunto, formando este parte del envase 3. Finally, to say that the gas container 2 can be independent of the assembly of the apparatus or be part of the box 1 as a fundamental element of said assembly. It is also possible that the box 1 forms part of the container 3, as well as that the container 2 and box 1 form a set, forming this part of the container 3.
