NECESSAIRE A SIPHON

SYPHON KIT

Abrégé anglais

A kit consisting of a two designs for a head check valve mounted
interchangeably on any two liter plastic
bottles with carbonated beverage like: Soda Water, Spring Carbonated Water,
Pepsi, etc. and a support that
holds upside down the two liter plastic bottle.
The kit is either directly attachable to the existing mass production of
plastic bottles and / or requires minor
modifications of the existing top cap. The head check valves are manually
operated and they work either with
a pre-compressed spring and a rubber ball or with a planar sealing and a pre-
compressed coil spring.
The second kit requiring some modifications of the existing mass fabrication
top cap, contains a circular knife
designed to cut the plastic membrane while the plastic bottle is installed to
the kit.
Both designs offer to consumers a modem means of utilizing all carbonated
beverages sold in plastic bottles
that totally eliminates the loss of potential energy given by the carbon
dioxide due to their total sealing with
the atmosphere and therefore there is no need to open and re-open again and
again top cap bottle.

Revendications

CLAIMS
Fig.1a and Fig.1b by the new arrangement and by the new planar valve
represents the main claim of the
invention in which the technology of fabrication of the bottles is fully
preserved.
Fig. 5 represents an other claim in which the bottle plug has to be slightly
modified in terms of adding a
thread on it and a diaphragm. The circular knife and the new positioning
(upside down) of the bottle brings
the advantage of the whole quantity of beverage unlike the designs that uses
plastic tube inside the bottle.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention eliminates the loss of gas and brings the advantage of
introducing a modern means of
utilization of all carbonated beverages contained in two liter plastic
bottles.
Fig. 1 shows the two designs of the kit for the existing mass fabrication two
liter beverages and / or
carbonated water bottles. Preferred design for carbonated water is shown in
Fig. I a.
Fig. 1 a represents the design in which the head check valve with its rotary
planar valve that can be actuated
by pushing the front small pipe down against a coil pre-compressed spring
mounted inside the head.
Fig. 1 b shows the design in which the bottle is mounted upside-down without
need of internal plastic tubing
for siphoning and in which the check valve is actuated by pushing down against
a pre-compressed coil spring
by means of the top cap.
Fig. 2 shows the interchangeability of the two heads designs on the existing
mass fabrication beverages and /
or carbonated water plastic bottles.
Fig. 3 shows details of the head design and the assembling of the two half of
spheres by means of a screw that
tightens the seal against leakage (Fig. 3a) and the pin that increments the
angle of rotation. In Fig. 3b one can
see the coil spring mounted on its groove and the orifice that communicates
with the atmosphere when the
pipe in front of the head is not activated by hand and, that communicates with
the liquid in the bottle when
the pipe in front of the head is rotated by hand and compressing the coil
spring. Fig. 3c shows the shape of the
seal and of its groove.
Fig. 4 and Fig. 4a represent a side projection of the second design and a
section that shows the arrangement of
the basic parts. On top of this section are shown the coil spring, the rubber
ball, a small rod sealed to the
atmosphere by means of a "O"-ring. By pressing the top cap the rubber ball is
pushed against the coil spring
and the liquid under pressure flows through the internal grooves and the pipe
outside.
Fig. 5 shows the almost the same body with an "O"-ring and a circular knife.
The bottle is provided with a
male thread on its plastic plug, and a thin diaphragm. First revolution (360
degrees) is to clamp the bottle to
the support / body and to seal the head bottle to it. Second revolution (360
degrees) is to cut the diaphragm
and let the liquid communicate from the bottle to the head check valve.
