Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Examples of embodiments of the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing.

[0023] FIG. 1 schematically shows an assortment of pressure containers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS

[0024] FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a pressure container assortment 1 with several pressure containers 2 in a side view. The pressure containers 2 are each intended for multiple filling with a medium for introduction into a beverage, whereby each of the pressure containers 2 is intended for filling with a different medium. I.e. the pressure container assortment 1 comprises pressure containers 2 for different media. Media for filling the pressure containers 2 are, for example, carbon dioxide and a respective flavour, neutral carbon dioxide, organic carbon dioxide, halal carbon dioxide and/or kosher carbon dioxide. For example, in the example shown, the pressure containers 2 are each provided for multiple filling with carbon dioxide and a flavour as a medium, with the flavours of the media for the pressure containers differing, i.e. each of the pressure containers 2 is provided for filling with a medium having a different flavour.

[0025] Once the respective pressure container 2 is filled with the respective medium, it can be inserted into a device by means of which the medium can be introduced into the beverage, for example water. The medium comprises in particular carbon dioxide, which is formed as described above or is mixed with a respective flavour. The device is therefore also referred to as a water bubbler or beverage bubbler. If the medium has carbon dioxide and a flavour, the flavour is also introduced into the beverage, for example water, due to the filling of the pressure container 2 with this medium and thus gives the water a taste corresponding to the flavour.

[0026] In order to ensure that the respective pressure container 2 can be refilled according to type with the medium for which the respective pressure container 2 is intended, it is provided that an outer side of the respective pressure container 2 is formed with an identification F1, F2, F3 associated with the medium for which it is intended, in particular with an identification colour associated with the medium for which it is intended. Since the pressure containers 2 of the pressure container assortment 1 are each intended for a different medium, their outer sides are thus differently marked according to the respective medium for which the respective pressure container 2 is intended, in the example shown differently coloured, schematically shown in FIG. 1 by different hatchings.

[0027] The respective pressure container 2 is in particular made of aluminium or an aluminium alloy. In particular, it is provided that the outside of the respective pressure container 2 is anodised in colour with the identification colour assigned to the medium for the filling of which the respective pressure container 2 is provided, i.e. the outside of the respective pressure container 2 is coloured by this coloured anodising with the identification colour assigned to the medium. In the example shown, the marking F1, F2, F3 is thus a marking colour produced by anodising.

[0028] For example, the respective pressure container 2 additionally has an envelope arranged on its outside, in particular a transparent envelope, with an identification marking assigned to the medium for whose filling the respective pressure container 2 is intended. The envelope is in particular made of plastic, in particular a shrink film.
