Description
In der Getränkeindustrie lässt sich seit Jahren ein starker Trend zu Mix-Getränken, sogenannte "In-Getränke" erkennen. Diese Getränke werden in den meisten Fällen mit Brunnen- oder Mineralwasser unter Zufügen verschiedener Substanzen gemischt und abgefüllt. Für den Verbraucher ergibt sich nun das Problem, dass er keinerlei Einfluss auf die Auswahl des Wassers und der zugeführten Substanzen hat.For years, the beverage industry has seen a strong trend towards mixed drinks, so-called "in-drinks". These drinks are usually mixed and bottled with well or mineral water with the addition of various substances. For the consumer, the problem now arises that he has no influence on the choice of water and the substances supplied.
Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, dieses Problem zu lösen und eine einfach durchzuführende und kostengünstige Möglichkeit zu schaffen, individuelle Mix-Getränke herzustellen.It is an object of the present invention to solve this problem and to provide an easy and inexpensive way to produce individual mix drinks.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Dosierkapsel für Zusatzstoffe für Mix-Getränkeflaschen mit nach Anspruch 1 oder Anspruch 7 gelöst. Die in Anspruch 1 genannten Wirkverbindung zwischen Deckelelement und Durchstech-Dorn kann dabei eine wie auch immer geartete (feste oder lose) Kontaktierung beider Teile umfassen, solange sie physisch aufeinander einwirken oder einwirken können, beispielsweise wenn das Deckelelement in die Dosierkapsel hineingedrückt und der Durchstech-Dorn dadurch verschoben wird.This object is achieved by a Dosierkapsel for additives for mix beverage bottles with according to
Die erfindungsgemäße Dosierkapsel enthält dabei in einem Vorratsraum pulverförmige oder flüssige Zusatzstoffe, die mit Hilfe eines Durchstech-Dorns in die Getränkeflasche zugeführt und anschließend vermischt werden. Um die Art der Flüssigkeit und den geschmacksspezifischen Zusatz frei wählen zu können, wird erfindungsgemäß eine Dosierkapsel auf die geöffnete Getränkeflasche gesetzt, die Dosierkammer mit Hilfe eines Durchstech-Dorns geöffnet und die Zusatzstoffe einer Flüssigkeit hinzudotiert. Der Durchstech-Dorn ist dabei so bemessen und zentral in der Dosierkammer angeordnet, dass sich der jeweilige Zusatzstoff zwischen einer Außenwandung des Durchstech-Dorns und einer Innenwandung der Dosierkammer befindet, und von dort erst bei durchstochener Verschlussfolie durch das entstandene Loch hindurch in die Getränkeflasche rutscht. Die Getränkeflasche kann dabei grundsätzlich jede beliebige Flüssigkeit wie alkoholische oder antialkoholische Getränk oder auch nur einfach Wasser enthalten. Die pulverförmigen Zusatzstoffe können alle Arten von Mischungen wie Vitamin- oder Mineralstoffmischungen oder einfach Geschmackszusatzstoffe umfassen, alternativ oder zusätzlich auch Alkoholika wie beispielsweise Jack Daniels®, die einem antialkoholischen Grundgetränk wie Coca Cola® beigefügt werden sollen.In this case, the dosing capsule according to the invention contains pulverulent or liquid additives in a storage space which are fed into the beverage bottle by means of a piercing spike and subsequently mixed. In order to be able to freely choose the type of liquid and the flavor-specific additive, according to the invention a dosing capsule is placed on the opened beverage bottle, the dosing chamber is opened by means of a piercing spike and the additives are added to a liquid. The piercing mandrel is dimensioned and arranged centrally in the metering chamber, that the respective additive is between an outer wall of the piercing mandrel and an inner wall of the metering chamber, and from there only when pierced sealing film through the resulting hole slips into the beverage bottle , The beverage bottle can basically contain any liquid such as alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage or even just water. The powdery additives may comprise all types of mixtures such as vitamin or mineral mixtures or simply flavor additives, alternatively or additionally, alcoholics such as Jack Daniels ® , the basic alcoholic beverage such as Coca Cola ® should be attached.
Zum Aufsetzen der Dosierkapsel auf eine Getränkeflasche kann diese nach Anspruch 1 mit einem umlaufenden Gewindeabschnitt versehen sein, der das Aufschrauben auf ein entsprechendes DIN-Gewinde der Getränkeflasche ermöglicht. Damit wird eine besonders leicht herzustellende und trotzdem dichte Verbindung zwischen der Getränkeflasche und der Dosierkapsel geschaffen. Nach Anspruch 7 kann dies aber auch durch einfaches "Aufpfropfen" der Dosierkapsel auf die Getränkeflasche geschehen, womit eine besonders schnelle und dennoch dichte Verbindung hergestellt wird.For placing the Dosierkapsel on a beverage bottle this can be provided according to
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der beiden erfindungsgemäßen Dosierkapseln sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben, deren Merkmale im Folgenden näher erläutert werden.Advantageous developments of the two Dosierkapseln invention are given in the dependent claims, the features of which are explained in more detail below.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Dosierkapsel ist es danach vorgesehen, dass angrenzend an die Stirnseite der Dosierkapsel ein umlaufender Anschlag ausgebildet ist, von dem ausgehend sich der Gewindeabschnitt erstreckt. Dieser Anschlag kann gegen das Gewinde einer Getränkeflasche festgedreht werden, so dass eine besonders dichte Verbindung zwischen der Dosierkapsel und der Getränkeflasche entsteht. Bevorzugt erstreckt sich die Dosierkammer dabei über den umlaufenden Anschlag hinaus in einem Abstand entlang des Gewindeabschnitts, so dass sie in den Halsabschnitt einer Getränkeflasche hineinragt.In an advantageous embodiment of the dosing capsule, it is then provided that adjacent to the end face of the Dosierkapsel a circumferential stop is formed, starting from which extends the threaded portion. This stop can be tightened against the thread of a beverage bottle, so that a particularly tight connection between the Dosierkapsel and the beverage bottle is formed. In this case, the dosing chamber preferably extends beyond the circumferential stop at a distance along the threaded section, so that it projects into the neck section of a beverage bottle.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist es vorgesehen, dass die Dosierkapsel eine pfropfenförmige Gestalt mit einer konischen Einführschräge von 1° bis 5°, bevorzugt von 1° bis 3° aufweist, die eine Dichtigkeit auch gegenüber unterschiedlich geformten und/oder dimensionierten Getränkeflaschen gewährleistet.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the Dosierkapsel has a plug-like shape with a conical insertion bevel of 1 ° to 5 °, preferably from 1 ° to 3 °, which ensures a seal against differently shaped and / or dimensioned beverage bottles.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist es vorgesehen, dass die Dosierkapsel eine pfropfenförmige Gestalt mit wulstartigen Ringen aufweist, die ebenfalls eine Dichtigkeit auch gegenüber unterschiedlich geformten und/oder dimensionierten Getränkeflaschen gewährleistet.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the Dosierkapsel has a plug-like shape with bead-like rings, which also ensures a tightness against differently shaped and / or dimensioned beverage bottles.
Der mit erfindungsgemäßer konische Einführschräge oder wulstartigen Ringen ausgestattete Pfropfen weist dabei bevorzugt einen Außendurchmesser von 21 mm ansteigend auf 22 mm auf eine Länge von 10 mm auf. Eine solche Gestaltung des Pfropfens gewährleistet einen besonders zuverlässigen dichten Sitz bei DIN-Kunststoff-Getränkeflaschen wie Pet-Flaschen.The graft equipped with conical insertion bevel or bead-like rings according to the invention preferably has an outer diameter of 21 mm increasing to 22 mm to a length of 10 mm. Such a design of the plug ensures a particularly reliable tight fit in DIN plastic beverage bottles such as pet bottles.
Alternativ kann der mit erfindungsgemäßer konische Einführschräge oder wulstartigen Ringen ausgestattete Pfropfen auch einen Außendurchmesser von 16 mm ansteigend auf 18 mm auf eine Länge von 10 mm aufweisen, um einen besonders zuverlässigen dichten Sitz bei DIN-Glas-Getränkeflaschen sicherzustellen.Alternatively, the stopper equipped with the invention conical insertion or bead-like rings also have an outer diameter of 16 mm increasing to 18 mm to a length of 10 mm in order to ensure a particularly reliable tight fit with DIN glass beverage bottles.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist es vorgesehen, dass der Durchstech-Dorn hohl und schrägt angespitzt ist, um eine Durchtrittsöffnung in der Verschlussfolie stets offen zu halten. In der Kombination seines hohlen Inneren und seiner schrägen Anspitzung wird dadurch ein zuverlässiges Abgeben des Zusatzstoffes in die darunter befindliche Flüssigkeit sichergestellt. Der Durchstech-Dorn kann allerdings auch einen sternförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen und schräg angespitzt sein, um eine Durchtrittsöffnung in der Verschlussfolie stets offen zu halten. Auch dadurch wird ein zuverlässiges Abgeben des Zusatzstoffes in die darunter befindliche Flüssigkeit sichergestellt, und zwar unabhängig davon, ob der Durchstech-Dorn im Innern hohl ist oder nicht. Denn die sternförmige Außenkontur des Durchstech-Dorns reißt die Folie an allen sternenspitzen so auf, dass diese sich unter ihrer Eigenspannung weitet und ein Loch größeren Durchmessers als dem des Durchstech-Dorns freigibt.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the piercing mandrel is hollow and obliquely sharpened in order to always keep an opening in the closure film open. The combination of its hollow interior and its oblique sharpening ensures reliable dispensing of the additive into the liquid underneath. However, the piercing mandrel may also have a star-shaped cross-section and be sharply pointed in order to always keep an opening in the closure film open. Also, this ensures a reliable dispensing of the additive into the underlying liquid, regardless of whether the piercing spike is hollow inside or not. Because the star-shaped outer contour of the piercing spike ruptures the film on all star tips so that it widens under its residual stress and a hole larger diameter than that of the piercing spine releases.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass das Deckelelement mit der Dosierkammer verschraubbar ausgeführt ist, um nach dem Durchstechen der Verschlussfolie aus der Getränkeflasche trinken und diese auch wieder verschließen zu können. Von Vorteil ist es dabei, wenn der Durchstech-Dorn einteilig mit dem Deckelelement ausgeführt oder der Durchstech-Dorn und das Deckelelement als jeweiliges Einzelteil ausgeführt ist. Ist der Durchstech-Dorn einteilig mit dem Deckelelement ausgeführt, ergibt sich zum einen besonders einfache Führung des Durchstech-Dorns durch das Deckelelement, zum anderen lassen sich das Deckelelement und der Durchstech-Dorn durch Abschrauben gemeinsam von der Dosierkapsel entnehmen und in der Folge einfach aus der Getränkeflasche trinken. Umgekehrt wird eine besonders leichte (Spritzguss-)Fertigung beider Teile möglich, wenn das Deckelelement und der Durchstech-Dorn als jeweilige Einzelteile ausgeführt sind. Grundsätzlich ist es natürlich auch denkbar, das Deckelelement und den Durchstech-Dorn mit einem jeweiligen, aufeinander abgestimmten Befestigungselement wie einer Steck- oder Gewindeaufnahme zu versehen, um beide Teile vor dem Verschließen der Dosierkapsel miteinander zu verbinden.Provided in a further advantageous embodiment, that the lid member is designed screwed to the dosing to drink after piercing the sealing foil from the beverage bottle and to be able to close this again. It is advantageous if the piercing mandrel is made in one piece with the cover element or the piercing mandrel and the cover element is designed as a respective individual part. If the piercing mandrel is made in one piece with the cover element, the result is, on the one hand, particularly simple guidance of the piercing spike through the cover element; on the other hand, the cover element and the piercing spike can be removed from the dosing capsule by unscrewing and, as a consequence, simply removed drink the beverage bottle. Conversely, a particularly easy (injection-molded) production of both parts is possible if the cover element and the piercing mandrel are designed as respective individual parts. In principle, it is also conceivable, of course, to provide the cover element and the piercing spike with a respective matched fastening element, such as a plug-in or threaded receptacle, in order to connect the two parts before closing the dosing capsule.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist es vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsring elastisch und/oder gewellt ausgeführt ist. Durch diese einfache und leicht herzustellende Verbindung zwischen einem Rand der Dosierkammer und dem Deckelelement selbst ist sowohl ein einfaches Herunterdrücken des Deckelelements und damit des Durchstech-Dorns gegeben, wie auch die stets definierte Halterung bzw. Kontaktierung des Durchstech-Dorns an dem Deckelelement, das sich ungleich dem Verbindungsring bei dieser Bewegung nicht selbst verformt.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the connecting ring is designed to be elastic and / or corrugated. Through this simple and easy to manufacture Connection between an edge of the metering chamber and the lid member itself is given both a simple depression of the lid member and thus of the piercing spike, as well as the always-defined holder or contacting the piercing spike on the lid member, which is unlike the connecting ring in this movement not self-deformed.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist es vorgesehen, dass die Dosierkapsel und/oder der Durchstech-Dorn wenigstens eine Führung aufweist, die eine Stechrichtung des Durchstech-Dorns gegenüber der Verschlussfolie festlegt. Dadurch kann insbesondere auch eine sichere Lage des Durchstech-Dorns bei nicht integrierter, sondern zweiteiliger Ausführung von Deckelelement und Durchstech-Dorn realisiert werden.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the dosing capsule and / or the piercing mandrel has at least one guide which defines a piercing direction of the piercing mandrel relative to the sealing foil. As a result, in particular a secure position of the piercing spike can be realized in the case of a non-integrated, but two-part embodiment of cover element and piercing mandrel.
Schließlich ist in es einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass die Dosierkapsel eine umlaufende deckelseitige Dichtung und/oder eine umlaufende anschlagseitige Dichtung aufweist, um einen dichten Sitz gegenüber einer Getränkeflasche genauso wie eine Dichtigkeit der Dosierkapsel selbst zu gewährleisten.Finally, it is provided in a further advantageous embodiment that the Dosierkapsel has a circumferential cover-side seal and / or a circumferential stop-side seal to ensure a tight fit against a beverage bottle as well as a tightness of Dosierkapsel itself.
