STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENTNot Applicable
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present disclosure relates to a vessel for dispensing a fluid contained therein.
The invention has been developed primarily for use in domestic and commercial settings for preparing beverages and will be described hereinafter with reference to this application. However, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this particular field of use.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONCoffee has become one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, and numerous coffee shops and cafés have opened to accommodate this demand.
Typically, in a commercial setting, similar coffee orders are made simultaneously using an espresso coffee machine and lined up for the addition of certain condiments such as, for example, milk or syrup. When milk is desired, it is often steamed inside a vessel first before being poured into the coffee cup. The milk is then poured from the vessel having a single spout to create a single stream of milk, which is controlled by the barista to create patterns on the surface of the coffee.
To meet the high demand for coffee, particularly at busy times of the day, it would be beneficial to be able to pour milk into multiple coffee orders simultaneously in a single action and still be able to create the desired patterns on the surface of the coffee.
It is to be understood that, if any prior art information is referred to herein, such reference does not constitute an admission that the information forms part of the common general knowledge in the art, in Australia or any other country.
Thus, a need exists to overcome the problems with the prior art systems, designs, and processes as discussed above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe invention provides a vessel for dispensing a fluid contained therein that overcome(s) the hereinafore-mentioned disadvantages of the heretofore-known devices and methods of this general type and that provide such features with the ability, for example, to pour milk into multiple coffee orders simultaneously in a single action and still be able to create the desired patterns on the surface of the coffee.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, there is provided, in accordance with the invention, a vessel for dispensing a fluid contained therein, comprising a bottom surface; a side wall extending upwardly from the bottom surface and terminating at an open upper rim; two or more spouts extending outwardly from the side wall, disposed along the open upper rim and arranged for simultaneously dispensing the fluid from the vessel in use; and one or more raised rim portions, the or each raised rim portion located between a group of two spouts of the two or more spouts and being adapted to inhibit a flow of the fluid over a central portion of the open upper rim located between the spouts of the group of two spouts in use. Advantageously, fluid can be dispensed from the two or more spouts simultaneously into two or more drinking vessels, thereby saving time when preparing more than one of the same drink. Advantageously, fluid can be dispensed from the two or more spouts simultaneously into a single drinking vessel at a faster rate than dispensing fluid from just one spout. Advantageously, the one or more raised rim portions inhibit any overflow of the fluid between the spouts during use, allowing better control of the fluid and creation of uninterrupted pouring streams.
In accordance with another feature of the invention, the vessel further comprises a handle adapted to enable a user to dispense the fluid from the vessel in use. Advantageously, the handle allows the user to pour the fluid with greater control and stability. Advantageously, the handle allows the vessel to be used even when the temperature of the vessel is too hot or cold to hold, thereby increasing the safety for the user and allowing the vessel to contain fluids at a large range of temperatures.
In accordance with a further feature of the invention, the or each raised rim portion comprises a blocking portion having a surface oriented transversely to the direction of the fluid flow along the spouts to block the flow of the fluid over the respective central portion in use. Advantageously, the blocking portion further inhibits the overflow of fluid in between the spouts in conjunction with the raised rim portion. This allows the vessel to be tilted at a larger angle when in use to pour the fluid at a faster rate. Advantageously, the blocking portion may be used to block or filter unwanted material or formation located on or near the surface of the fluid such as, but not limited to, froth, ice, tea leaves or combinations thereof.
In accordance with an added feature of the invention, the blocking portion is removable. Advantageously, the blocking portion can be removed or changed for another blocking portion which may be of different shape, material, colour and/or size.
In accordance with an additional feature of the invention, the handle is attached to the side wall. Advantageously, the attachment of the handle to the side wall allows the user to pour the fluid with good stability and control in use.
In accordance with yet another feature of the invention, the spouts are integral with the side wall. Advantageously, the spouts being integral with the side wall creates a sturdy and durable vessel while minimizing the number of parts used in its assembly to save on costs in manufacture.
Although the invention is illustrated and described herein as embodied in a vessel for dispensing a fluid contained therein, it is, nevertheless, not intended to be limited to the details shown because various modifications and structural changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims.

Referring specifically to
In this exemplary embodiment, and as shown in
In this exemplary embodiment, the two or more spouts 50 are generally symmetrical about an axis running from the central portion 55 of the raised rim portion 60 to the center of the handle 70. As shown in
In this exemplary embodiment, and as shown in
In this exemplary embodiment, the vessel 10 is constructed from a food grade material that is robust, easy to manufacture and sterilizable. In an particular exemplary embodiment, the vessel 10 is constructed from food grade stainless steel. In other exemplary embodiments, the vessel 10 may be constructed from another food grade material, such as, a food grade material that complies with, for example, the Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code (Standard 3.2.3), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations or the European Food Safety Authority requirements. It will be appreciated that the vessel 10 is not limited to being manufactured from a food grade material complying with these codes or regulations only, but that food grade materials that comply with codes or regulations specific to other countries in which the various embodiments described may be employed will also apply.
It will also be appreciated that in other exemplary embodiments, the shape of the vessel 10 is not limited to being substantially circular in cross-section, but it may take on different cross-sectional shapes and sizes, which may alter as the side wall 30 extends upwardly from the bottom surface 20 of the vessel 10.
In an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in
Referring to
In another exemplary embodiment, the handle 70 may be removably mounted to the vessel 10 such that it may be detachable from and re-attachable to the vessel 10 if and when required. This may be beneficial for example, for the purposes of sterilizing the vessel 10 and handle 70. In this exemplary embodiment, the handle 70 is constructed from a food grade material that complies with, for example, the Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code (Standard 3.2.3), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations or the European Food Safety Authority requirements. It will be appreciated that the handle 70 is not limited to being manufactured from a food grade material complying with these codes or regulations only, but that food grade materials that comply with codes or regulations specific to other countries in which the various embodiments described may be employed will also apply. In the exemplary embodiment, the handle 70 is constructed from food grade stainless steel. In an exemplary embodiment, the handle 70 further comprises an insulating portion (not shown) to insulate the user holding the vessel 10 by the handle 70 from the temperature of the handle 70. This will be particularly beneficial in the case when the temperature of the fluid contained in the vessel 10 is hot such as, for example, freshly dispensed coffee from an espresso coffee machine, or cold such as, for example, iced water, such that the vessel 10 would be correspondingly too hot or too cold to hold.
Referring specifically to
In this exemplary embodiment, the or each blocking portion 80 is adapted to sealingly clamp around an upwardly extending portion, as generally indicated by reference numeral 90 in
In another exemplary embodiment, the or each blocking portion 80 may be integral with the or each corresponding raised rim portion 60 of the vessel 10.
In this exemplary embodiment, the or each blocking portion 80 is removable such that any one of a number of, for example, differently shaped or sized blocking portions 80 may be removably attached to the or each raised rim portion 60. For example, a larger blocking portion 80 may be useful for reducing not only fluid flow along the spouts 50, but also the flow of any froth that may be present on the surface of the fluid. This would be particularly beneficial when the fluid contained in the vessel 10 is milk that has been frothed using steam from an espresso machine and the user would like to prevent or delay dispensing the frothed milk into a drinking vessel comprising a freshly dispensed beverage such as coffee.
It will be appreciated that in other exemplary embodiments, the or each blocking portion 80 is not limited to being removably attached to the or each corresponding raised rim portion 60 to block the flow of fluid over the central portion 55 of the open upper rim 40 located between the spouts of the group of two spouts 50 in use, but, with appropriate modifications to the design and or orientation of the blocking portion 80, it could also be removably attached to the one or more spouts 50 themselves, or to the open upper rim 40 or side wall 30 of the vessel 10.
In other exemplary embodiments in which the two or more spouts 50 are three or more spouts 50 and the one or more raised rim portions 60 located between the groups of two spouts 50 of the three or more spouts 50 are two or more raised rim portions 60, the or each blocking portion 80 is one blocking portion 80 adapted to be removably attached to the two or more raised rim portions 60 in use. As such, it will be appreciated that one blocking portion 80 to block fluid flow over the central portions 55 located between the groups of two spouts 50 of the three or more spouts 50 in use rather than two blocking portions 80 will be more cost effective with respect to manufacturing and will be less cumbersome.
In use, the vessel 10 is helpful for simultaneously dispensing a fluid contained therein such as, for example, a beverage like coffee or tea, from the two or more spouts 50 into two or more corresponding drinking vessels (not shown). This is beneficial in the case of a multiple order for a particular type of beverage (e.g., a café latte) as the user can dispense the beverage, in this case coffee, into the two or more drinking vessels at the same time rather than having to dispense the coffee into the separate drinking vessels one by one. In the same example, a similar vessel 10 can also be used to simultaneously dispense a condiment such as for example, milk, into the coffee in the drinking vessels to complete the café latte multiple order. In this example, the milk may be first frothed using steam from, for example, an espresso machine, and then dispensed simultaneously from the two or more spouts 50 into the two or more drinking vessels as two or more individual streams of frothed milk. The froth or foam on top of the frothed milk in the vessel 10 may be dispensed into the two or more drinking vessels, or alternatively, blocking portions 80 may be removably attached to the one or more raised rim portions 60 of the vessel 10 to reduce or even block the froth or foam on the top of the frothed milk from flowing into the drinking vessel and to allow only the milk to be dispensed. Additionally, the user dispensing the frothed milk, for example, a barista, can control the flow of the frothed milk from the vessel 10 to create patterns in the frothed milk on the surface of the coffee as is commonly performed in beverages such as café lattes. In one example, the barista can create the same pattern in the frothed milk on the surface of the coffee in two or more drinking vessels simultaneously. In another example, the barista can use the two or more streams of milk from the two or more spouts 50 to create more complex patterns in the frothed milk on the surface of the coffee in one drinking vessel.
In another exemplary embodiment, the vessel 10 is adapted to receive a lid (not shown) to prevent unwanted contaminants from entering the vessel 10 and contaminating the fluid contained therein. Preferably, the lid comprises, for example, a lid flange (not shown) located substantially around the periphery of the lid adapted to engage the open upper rim 40 of the vessel 10 and the two or more spouts 50.
In another exemplary embodiment, the lid may comprise two or more pivotally movable spout flaps (not shown) corresponding to the two or more spouts 50, the two or more spout flaps being pivotally movable between a closed position, where the two or more spout flaps substantially seal the corresponding two or more spouts 50, and an open position, in which as the vessel 10 is oriented to dispense the fluid contained therein in use, the two or more pivotally mounted spout flaps open and fluid is allowed to be simultaneously dispensed from the two or more spouts 50 as two or more corresponding streams of fluid.
It will be appreciated that in these exemplary embodiments, the lid is constructed from a food grade material, including, but not limited to, any one or more of the following materials: stainless steel, a polymer, a glass (for example, a treated glass such as Pyrex). In other exemplary embodiments, the lid may be constructed from another food grade material, such as, a food grade material that complies with, for example, the Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code (Standard 3.2.3), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations or the European Food Safety Authority requirements. It will be appreciated that the lid is not limited to being manufactured from a food grade material complying with these codes or regulations only, but that food grade materials that comply with codes or regulations specific to other countries in which the various embodiments described may be employed will also apply.
In other exemplary embodiments, the lid may be hingedly mounted to the vessel 10 via a hinge assembly (not shown) so that the vessel 10 may be sealed when not in use, thereby preventing contaminants from entering the vessel 10 and contaminating the fluid contained therein.
In another exemplary embodiment, the vessel 10 may comprise a side wall 30 having a double-walled region (not shown) where an intermediate space between the walls of the double-walled region has an insulating effect. In one example, the intermediate space allows for the creation of a full or partial vacuum to insulate the vessel 10 when containing a hot or cold fluid therein. It will be appreciated that in this example, the double-walled region may be manufactured from a suitable food grade material, including, but not limited to, any one or more of the following materials: It will be appreciated that in these embodiments, the lid is constructed from a food grade material, including, but not limited to, any one or more of the following materials: stainless steel, a polymer, a glass (for example, a treated glass such as Pyrex), or combination thereof.
In other exemplary embodiments, the two or more spouts 50, the handle 70, and the or each raised rim portion 60 may be manufactured from separate pieces of material to that of the side wall 30, bottom surface 20, and open upper rim 40 of the vessel 10, and be sealingly attached to the side wall 30 using appropriate measures for attachment for the type of material used to ensure, in the case of at least the two or more spouts 50, the formation of a liquid tight seal. It will be appreciated that in exemplary embodiments in which the two or more spouts 50 are sealingly attached to the side wall 30 of the vessel 10, the side wall 30 will comprise one or more apertures (not shown) therethrough in positions in the side wall 30 corresponding to the positions of the two or more spouts 50 such that. in use, fluid contained within the inner surface 45 of the vessel 10 can be fluidly communicated from the inner surface 45 through the one or more apertures in the side wall 30 to the two or more spouts 50 and dispensed into two or more drinking vessels (not shown) therefrom.
The vessel 10 for dispensing a fluid contained therein provides a number of advantages, including:
-
- 1. Fluid can be dispensed from the two or more spouts simultaneously into two or more drinking vessels, thereby saving time when preparing more than one of the same drink.
- 2. Fluid can be dispensed from the two or more spouts simultaneously into a single drinking vessel at a faster rate than dispensing fluid from just one spout.
- 3. The one or more raised rim portions inhibit any overflow of the fluid between the spouts during use, allowing better control of the fluid and creation of uninterrupted pouring streams.
- 4. The handle allows the user to pour the fluid with greater control and stability.
- 5. The handle allows the vessel to be used even when the temperature of the vessel is too hot or cold to hold, thereby increasing the safety for the user and allowing the vessel to contain fluids at a large range of temperatures.
- 6. The blocking portion further inhibits the overflow of fluid in between the spouts in conjunction with the raised rim portion. This allows the vessel to be tilted at a larger angle when in use to pour the fluid at a faster rate.
- 7. The blocking portion may be used to block or filter unwanted material or formation located on or near the surface of the fluid such as, but not limited to, froth, ice, tea leaves or combinations thereof.
- 8. The blocking portion can be removed or changed for another blocking portion which may be of different shape, material, colour and/or size.
- 9. The attachment of the handle to the side wall allows the user to pour the fluid with good stability and control in use.
- 10. The spouts being integral with the side wall creates a sturdy and durable vessel while minimizing the number of parts used in its assembly to save on costs in manufacture.
- 11. The vessel is constructed from food grade material to allow it to contain fluid that is consumable and be readily cleanable and sterilisable.
