Abstract: A device for generating a head on a beverage in a sealed can, when the can is opened, comprising a hollow capsule with first and second compartments communicating via tubes with apertures respective each on the opposite side of the capsule from the side of the chamber with which the tube communicates, and a ballast means for orientating the capsule in a position such that, as one chamber charges with liquid, the capsule is caused to rotate and trap a volume of air therein. The capsule may be cylindrical or more preferably spherical in external shape.

Abstract: Devices are described for fitting into pressurized individually packaged beverages (typically canned beers, ales and stouts), by which gas at high pressure is stored within the package for jetting into the beverage as the package is opened to atmosphere. One embodiment comprises a length of tube (10) having a gas jetting orifice (14) which in use is submerged below the beverage in a pressurized can having a gaseous headspace, which can be used to charge the tube with gas during the passage of the filled can (16) along a conventional canning line, on which the can is inverted after filling which brings the orifice into the gaseous headspace.

Abstract: The invention relates to an inhalation device by which powdered material can be inhaled. A plurality of powder containers, each having a powder containing depression therein, may be individually fed to a use station which cooperates with an inhalation means. The inhalation means includes an outlet communicating with the open container by a passage, which passage has a wall means which cooperates with the powder containing depression to define a venturi.
