TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention refers to a dispensing Mechanism for carbonated beverage bottles.

BACKGROUND ART

It is known that when consumers open a bottle of carbonated beverage the beverage is highly lose its carbonation. It is also known that the consumers prefer to keep and maintain the carbonation in the beverage as much as possible when opening and pouring the bottle for further consumption. The present application discloses a dispensing Mechanism that provides good solution for this problem.

THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to provide a dispensing Mechanism (1) that is designed to reduce the evaporation of the carbonation when opening and pouring the drink from a carbonated beverage bottle.

The dispensing Mechanism (1) includes a connecting member (2), a perforating mechanism (3), and an opening mechanism (4). The dispensing mechanism (1) is designed to be assembled and functioned on the original cap (100) of a beverage bottle (200) while this original cap is in a closed state.

The connecting member (2) includes an upper piece (21) with a hole (22) and a locking means (23) such as described for example in the figures. The inner wall (221) of the hole (22) includes internal threads (222). It is possible that the connecting member (2) will be made of plastic as one single piece.

The perforating mechanism (3) includes a hollow tube (31) that includes a circumferential disc (32). The hollow tube (31) includes external threads (36). It is possible that the perforating mechanism (3) will be made of plastic as one single piece. To the hollow tube (31) is connected a perforating means (34), such as a knife or any kind of sharp piece, preferably made of metal. The opening mechanism (4) includes a hollow tube (41) with internal threads (42) and external threads (44) and rotating means (43), such as a handle or disc. It is possible that the opening mechanism (4) will be made of plastic as one single piece.

Assembling and connecting the dispensing Mechanism (1): screwing the hollow tube (31) of the perforating mechanism (3) through the hole (22) of the connecting mechanism (2) till the circumferential disc (32) is attached and tightened to the bottom side of the upper piece (21) of the connecting mechanism (2). Then, screwing the opening mechanism (4) on the hollow tube (31) of the perforating mechanism (3) till it is screwed inside the hollow tube (41) of the opening mechanism (4).

The hollow tube (41) of the opening mechanism (4) is designed to receive a standard sport cap (300) or a standard faucet (400), just by screwing this sport cap or faucet, which has internal threads, on the external threads (44) of the opening mechanism (4). Using of the dispensing mechanism (1): assembling and connecting the connecting member (2) on the original cap (100) of a beverage bottle (200) and closing it on this original cap by the locking mechanism (23). Then, rotating the rotating means (41) which in turn rotate downward the perforating mechanism (3) and as a result the perforating means (34) makes a hole in the top of the original cap (100). Then, the user turns up side down the beverage bottle, open the sport cap (300) or the faucet (400) and pour the drink that stream through the hollow tubes (31) and (41) to the sport cap (300) or the faucet (400) for consumption. After that, the user closes the sport cap or the faucet for further use. In this process the carbonation is not likely to evaporate as in case of the standard opening method of the original cap. It is possible that the to the bottom side (321) of the circumferential disc (32) will be attached a soft ring (5) so when the dispensing mechanism (1) is locked onto the original cap (100) the soft ring (5) is positioned between the bottom side (321) of the circumferential disc (32) and the original cap (100). Then, when rotating the rotating means (41) downward then perforating means (34) starts to perforates the original cap (100) and in the same time the soft ring (5) is squeezed and prevent the possibility that drink will leak out through the gap between the circumferential disc (32) and the original cap (100).
