7. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 1, characterised in that the container (2) is made of glass.

8. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 1, characterised in that the container (2) has a lower support base (6).

9. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 8, characterised in that the lower support base (6) is an independent and removable part of the container (2).

10. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 4, characterised in that the arrangement of the holes (4a) in the filter (4) generates a hexagonal shape.

11. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 1, characterised in that the holes (4a) in the filter (4) are of such a diameter that they prevent the fluid deposited thereon from moving through said holes towards the lower portion of the container but allow the passage of the gas from the lower portion of the container towards the upper portion thereof through the fluid deposited on the filter (4).

12. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 2, characterised in that the container (2) is cylindrical.

13. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 2, characterised in that the filter (4) is a metal plate, with a plurality of holes (4a) distributed on its surface.

14. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 2, characterised in that the filter provided with holes (4) is made of stainless steel.

15. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 6, characterised in that the perimeter seal (5) is made of silicone.

16. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 6, characterised in that the container (2) is made of glass.

17. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 1, characterised in that lower support base (6) is made of glass.

18. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 6, characterised in that in that the container (2) has a lower support base (6) is made of glass.

19. The device for generating flying edible foams or clouds, according to claim 7, characterised in that in that the container (2) has a lower support base (6) is made of glass.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] To complete the description provided herein, and for the purpose of helping to make the features of the invention more readily understandable, this description is accompanied by a set of drawings constituting an integral part of the same, which by way of illustration and not limitation represents the following:

[0016] FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of an example of the device for generating flying edible foams or clouds object of the invention, showing the main parts and elements that it comprises;

[0017] FIG. 2 shows a sectional elevation view, once assembled, of the example of the device for generating flying edible foams or clouds of the invention shown in FIG. 1, showing its internal general configuration when it is assembled in the position of use; and

[0018] FIG. 3 shows a partially sectioned perspective view of the device shown in the preceding figures, in this case showing its external appearance and the arrangement of the filter with which it is provided and which allows generating the bubbles that, once bonded to each other, generate the flying edible foams or clouds.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0019] In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the adopted numbering, one may observe therein a non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the device for generating flying edible foams or clouds of the invention, comprising what is described in detail below.

[0020] Thus, as can be seen in said figures, the device (1) of the invention essentially comprises a container (2) suitable for holding fluids that has a lower housing (2a), comprising a preferably lateral perforation (3) suitable for inserting a tube through which a gas (not shown) can be introduced, and an upper housing (2b) that is separated from the lower housing by means of a filter provided with holes (4) that defines both housings (2a, 2b) and, by incorporating the fluid to be prepared into the container in the upper housing (2b) and blowing the gas into the lower housing (2a) through the tube inserted in the lateral perforation (3), the holes in the filter (4) cause the formation of clouds of said fluid formed from groups of gas bubbles integrated in the fluid.

[0021] Preferably, the container (2) is a tubular body, for example with a round, square or triangular base, which has securing means for the filter provided with holes (4), such as a perimeter recess (2c) between the lower housing (2a) and the upper housing (2b) which defines an inner rim that acts as a stop to secure the position of said filter (4), between both portions, lower and upper, in an easily removable manner.

[0022] Preferably, the filter (4) is a metal plate, preferably made of stainless steel, provided with a plurality of holes (4a) distributed on its entire surface.

[0023] Preferably, the filter (4) has a perimeter seal (5) made of silicone, which fits on the inner wall of the container (2).

[0024] For its part, the container (2) is preferably made of glass and has a lower support base (6), which can be made of the same or another material and which, optionally, is an independent and removable part to facilitate cleaning of the assembly.

[0025] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the ways in which it may be implemented, it is not considered necessary to elaborate on the explanation thereof in order for a person skilled in the art to understand the scope of the invention and the advantages derived therefrom.
