PORTABLE DRINKING VESSEL ASSEMBLY
A portable drinking vessel assembly removably engages an open end of a bottle neck to enable drinking directly from a bottle while aerating the liquid. The assembly comprises a vessel defined by a side wall, a bottom portion forming a bottom opening, and a top portion forming a top opening. A tapered conduit defined by a wide end and a narrow end integrally joins with the vessel through the wide end, and detachably attaches to the bottle through the narrow end. The liquid is aerated while flowing from narrow end, to wide end, and finally into the vessel. A silicone sleeve having ribs encapsulates a longitudinal portion of the conduit. The ribs engage an inner surface of the bottle neck to create a self-tapping rotatable action in the bottle neck, and a seal against the inner surface of bottle neck. The vessel joins a stand to remain upright.
Liquid drawing apparatus
A liquid drawing apparatus includes: a main body; a first infusion pipe and an air intake adjustment unit provided on a side of the main body at two different positions; an installation seat and an annular flange disposed at a bottom part of the main body; and a second infusion pipe mounted on the installation seat in such a manner that the second infusion pipe has a portion extending into the main body, wherein the annular flange encloses an outer periphery of the installation seat, wherein the installation seat includes a disc plate having a lower surface and a plurality of protrusions formed thereon, a mounting sleeve is extending axially and downwardly from the disc plate, and a plurality of resilient leaves are formed on an external surface of the mounting sleeve to define at least one air flow passage.
Automatic wine stirrer incorporating a ferromagnetic stir bar and method for aerating wine
An automatic wine stirrer is adapted for aerating wine contained in an open vessel. The wine stirrer comprises a housing, and a fan assembly operatively mounted within the housing. The fan assembly comprises a rotatable hub, a plurality of fan blades attached to the hub, and an electric motor. At least one magnet is carried by the fan assembly. When the rotatable hub is substantially stopped, the magnet attracts and holds a ferromagnetic stir bar located inside the wine vessel. When the rotatable hub starts, the magnet rotates relative to the housing thereby rotating the stir bar and substantially swirling the wine contained in the wine vessel.
FACILITY FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE FOR TASTING AND METHOD FOR OPENING A BEVERAGE CONTAINER USING SUCH A FACILITY
An installation (1) comprising a storage zone (5) for storing the container (40) of the beverage for preparation; a liquid flow circuit (2) provided with at least one feed inlet (3) for feeding a beverage for preparation extending in said storage zone (5) and being provided with a perforation member (7); cooling and/or heating means (8) arranged along the liquid flow circuit (2); a sensor (13) for measuring the circuit temperature of the liquid flow circuit (2); and means (14) for providing a setpoint temperature corresponding to the tasting temperature desired for the beverage.
The installation (1) further comprises a sensor (6) for measuring the temperature of the container (40); a control unit (17) configured to control the cooling and/or heating means (8) as a function of the setpoint temperature, and of the measured temperatures; a closure member (18) for at least partially closing access from the storage zone (5) to the perforation member (7), the closure member (18) being mounted to move between a closed position at least as a function of the measured temperature of the circuit.
A DEVICE FOR AERATING A BEVERAGE
The present invention relates to a device for aerating a beverage, such a wine, whilst being poured from a bottle. The present invention also relates to a bottle including a device and a method of bottling a beverage.
SEPARATED DECANTER
The invention relates to decanters technology field, more particularly relates to a separated decanter. A separated decanter includes a bottle body, a base and a motor sub-assembly; the bottom of the bottle body protrudes an annular wall, a spacer is provided in the annular wall, the spacer is provided with through holes to connect the lumen of the bottle body; the base includes a base surface, an outer ring and an inner ring; the outer ring is set at the outside peripheral of the base surface, the inner ring lies in the outer ring on the base surface; the annular wall connects with the inner ring, both of them and combine with the spacer to form a cavity; the cavity contains a magnet; the motor sub-assembly is set under the base; the motor sub-assembly drives the magnet to turn, thereby stirring the liquid in the bottle body.
Wine Decanter
A decanting vessel has an internal pump for recirculating a beverage such as wine and aerating it within the decanter.
PRESSURIZED DECANTING DEVICE
A pressurized decanting device decants wine, so that oxidation is prevented by not agitating the wine as it decants, or agitating solid matter resting on the bottom of bottle. The decanting device couples to the mouth of bottle through a cork having a cork borehole. A pump forces pressurized gas into the bottle of wine. The consequential pressure forces the wine out of the bottle through a discharge pipe in the housing. The device includes a base mounted with a housing. The housing includes an outlet apparatus, a pump, a power supply mechanism, and a switch mechanism operatively connected to the pump and the power supply mechanism. An outlet pipe and a gas guiding apparatus extend from the outlet apparatus. The switch mechanism mounts on the outlet apparatus through power supply mechanism The outlet apparatus controls a liquid and a gas to discharge or stop discharging from outlet pipe.
CONTAINER WITH TEXTURED SURFACE
Provided are systems, methods, and apparatuses directed to a container for storing a liquid, the container including a textured surface configured to increase the liquid's dissolved oxygen content, the textured surface having fluid-obstructions configured to disrupt a flow of the liquid in at least one direction, said disruptions being effective to decrease a surface tension associated with the liquid and increasing a surface area associated with the liquid.
