  • Patent number: 8967435
    Abstract: The push-button dispenser with compressed-gas capsule (7) for bottles (2) consists of a head which can be screwed onto the bottle (2) and have a lateral pouring channel (4), a push-button (15) on its upper side and downwardly projecting suction tube (11). The latter is intended to extend as far as the base of the bottle (2) which is to be fitted with the dispenser, and it opens out at the top into a valve device in the head. This valve device has a regulating means (39) which can be moved axially in relation to the bottle (2) and is biased in the closing direction by a spring (17), and can be opened by manual pressure being applied to the push-button (15) from above. This reduces pressure in the interior of the suction tube (11) to ambient pressure, as a result of which liquid is expelled from the bottle (2), by way of the internal pressure prevailing in the bottle (2), out of the lower mouth opening of the suction tube (11) via the pouring channel (4).

  • Patent number: 8870038
    Abstract: The push-button dispenser for bottles with carbonated beverages as a head (1) which can be screwed onto a bottle and has a lateral pouring channel (15) and a push-button (16) on its upper side. A suction tube (10) projects downwards, this tube being intended to extend down as far as the base of the bottle (20) to be fitted with the dispenser. This suction tube opens out at the top into a valve device in the head (1), this valve device having a regulating means (5) which can be moved axially in relation to the bottle (20) and is biased in the closing direction by a spring (3). In order for the regulating means to be opened, pressure is applied to the push-button (16) from above, and therefore the pressure in the interior of the suction tube (10) is reduced to ambient pressure. This causes liquid to be expelled from the bottle, by way of the internal pressure prevailing in the bottle, out of the lower mouth opening of the suction tube (10) via the pouring channel (15).
