  • Patent number: 5635232
    Abstract: An enclosure apparatus for enclosing a pressurized container within a non-defeatable safety structure, and for pressurizing the container with pressurized carbon dioxide gas to preserve and recarbonate beverages within the container. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a rigid body that receives a previously opened container having a beverage therein. A top member is releasably connected to an upper portion of the rigid body, and the top member includes an alignment guide that coaxially aligns the top of the container with the top member. An aperture extends through the top member and communicates with the opening of the container and a seal around the aperture is positioned to engage the top portion of the container and to form a gas-tight seal. A valve, which is connectable to a high-pressure carbon dioxide gas source, is located within the aperture and allows pressurized carbon dioxide gas to pass into the container so as to pressurize the container to a selected pressure.
