Abstract: An improved venturi apparatus for the incorporation of air into a liquid as it is poured from a bottle. The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises an entry section, a constricted intermediate section, and an outflow section. Lateral tubes extend from the constricted intermediate section so as to form an acute angle relative to both the central and cross-sectional axes of the constricted intermediate section, thereby preventing leakage of liquid out through the lateral tubes during use and subsequent handling. The device includes a ventilation tube with a ventilation cavity for capturing backwash of the liquid as pouring is terminated, and for preventing leakage from the ventilation port.

Abstract: An improved venturi apparatus for the incorporation of air into a liquid. The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises an entry section, a cylindrical section, and an outflow section. Lateral tubes extend from the cylindrical section so as to form an acute angle relative to both the central and cross-sectional axes of the cylindrical section, thereby preventing leakage of liquid out through the lateral tubes during use and subsequent handling. The entry section includes a breather tube connected to the cylindrical section.

Abstract: A side-entry stemmed glassware rack for storing and displaying stemmed glassware. Stemmed glassware is hung in the conventional, inverted manner except that the base of the glassware is inserted into a main track of the rack the via an intersecting side track rather than only from one or both ends of the main track.

Abstract: A rectilinear or cylindrical hand-carry bag for storing, transporting, chilling and displaying a wine bottle or other beverage container. The bag is fabricated from a deformable, water-impermeable, polymeric material, having an inner container dimensioned to fit in the hand-carry bag and to receive the bottle and to maintain the shaped integrity when a sufficient quantity of crushed ice or ice cubes to chill the beverage is disposed between the inner walls of the bag and the outer walls of the inner container. The upper edges of the hand-carry bag and inner container have sufficient thickness of material or fasteners for retaining the shaped integrity of the cavity formed therebetween in a substantially non-collapsed state.

Abstract: An easily manufactured miniaturized connector in which a shoulder formed on each side of the plug portion cooperates with a cooperating sidewall bearing surface on each side of a recess in the receiver portion so that alignment of the plug with the receiver is automatically achieved as the plug is inserted into the receiver, thereby minimizing misalignment of terminals in the plug and receiver.
