Siphon Type Patents (Class 215/4)
  • Patent number: 11278104
    Abstract: The system may include a bottle to contain a liquid, a drinking tube, and a bottle adapter. The bottle adapter may couple to the bottle to position the drinking tube within the bottle. The bottle adapter may include a body, an aperture, an engagement interface, a central channel, and a vent structure. The body may have a cylindrical geometry. The aperture is disposed at an end of the body and sized to receive the drinking tube to allow the drinking tube to pass through the bottle adapter. The engagement interface is disposed at another end of the body opposite the aperture to couple the bottle adapter to the bottle. The central channel extends through the bottle adapter along a central axis of the body. The vent structure is formed in the body to intake air into the central channel along an exterior of the drinking tube within the bottle adapter.

  • Publication number: 20090194561
    Abstract: In a method for distribution and dispensing of beverages, a one-way system is used including a disposable and freestanding container (100) blow moulded in one piece from a preform of plastics, and a tube structure having a tube (136) to be inserted in the container and a closure cap (102). The thin-walled container (100) is filled with beverage by means of the tube (136) and then closed by the closure cap (102). This filled unit (100, 102, 136) is distributed to the end user and connected to standard beverage dispensing means (138). After use, the empty container (100) is collapsed and discarded along with the tube structure which also is made of plastics.

  • Patent number: 5390832
    Abstract: Carbonated and non-carbonated beverages are selectively dispensed under the driving force of a one time charge of pressurized inert gas inserted into the headspace of the beverage container at the time of bottling/canning. The gas, preferably nitrogen, is inert to the beverage liquid and is pressurized sufficiently to permit dispensing of all of the liquid from the container via a siphon tube. A cap valve seals the container and includes an elastomeric check valve preventing escape of gas while permitting the siphon tube to be inserted into the container. A throttling and diffusing valve controls outflow from the siphon tube to ambient and prevents fracturing of gas from the beverage liquid to minimize foaming/frothing.

  • Patent number: 4694975
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for storing and dispensing fluids such as syphon seltzer water under about 10 atmospheres of pressure. A plastic bottle is provided in which a valve mechanism is inserted within the neck of the bottle. A disposable cap covers the end of the bottle to prevent contamination of the valve during storage. When the contents of the bottle are to be dispensed, the cap is removed and discarded and a head member is attached to the outside wall of the neck of the bottle. The head contains a valve actuation mechanism which opens the valve and the liquid is dispensed through a nozzle in the head. The head may be removed when the contents of the bottle are dispensed or at any time before being fully dispensed. The bottle is discarded or recycled and the head member is detached and reattached to a full bottle of liquid, such as syphon seltzer water.

  • Patent number: 4671436
    Abstract: A syphon package (12) incorporates a deformable, resilient plastic sealing member (42) which, in its normal position, blocks passageway (50) for dispensing seltzer water (32) stored under pressure in the package (12). Tube (30), valve sealing member (42) and insert (44) are assembled by bonding insert (44) to flange (40) with sealing member (42) in place. The resulting assembly is then bonded to interior wall (22) of necked opening (16). A syphon head (24) has a one-piece actuator (60) bonded to body (28), with actuating rod (62) supported on resilient diaphragm (64) for downward movement by lever (74) to deform sealing member (42) out of sealing engagement with passageway (50).
