Container and assembly for liquid substance and method for discharging liquid substance in container

Abstract

A container (2) for a liquid substance (L) having a known density and / or viscosity comprises a closed rigid structure (3) defining an internal volume (Vin). The rigid structure (3) comprises a single orifice (5) adapted to allow the liquid substance (L) to flow out of the container from the interior of the container; and air (A) is allowed to flow into the container from outside the container. Said rigid structure (3) being adapted not to sink when the pressure outside the container exceeds the pressure in said internal volume (Vin); the diameter of the individual orifice (5) depends on the density and / or viscosity of the liquid substance. According to the container, the single orifice (5) is designed in such a way that, even if the container (2) is turned over up and down, the liquid substance (L) contained in the internal volume (Vin) of the container (2) does not flow out of the container through the single orifice (5), with the single orifice (5) facing downward.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a container for liquid substances, such as beverages, especially alcoholic beverages. The invention also relates to an assembly comprising a container and a cannula. Finally, the invention also relates to a method for obtaining an outflow of a liquid substance contained in such a container. Background technique [0002] Commonly known containers or vessels, especially bottles, are characterized in that they have an orifice wide enough, when the container is partially turned over, to allow liquid to flow from out of the bottle. It is difficult for the liquid to come out when the container is turned upside down, such as with the orifice pointing vertically downwards, this is considered to be a handling limitation of existing bottles, said bottles are also designed to overcome this limitation, paying special attention to the neck and the liquid The diameter and shape of the outflow hole. [0003] It is known that the r...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] Currently available commercial containers designed to allow the refining of high quality liquids such as wine follow a model that envisages the use of airtight bottles with air-permeable stoppers made, for example, of cork, other wood types and / or synthetic materials etc.; this aspect means that the punctual air flow is not uniform with respect to the volume of the liquid, moreover the non-negligible size of the stopper itself compared to the volume of the wine leads to an additional risk of sensory contamination

[0011] Additionally, the bottles have an upwardly elongated shape, so if they are not held in a horizontal position throughout the aging process, this can in some cases adversely affect the refined liquid
