Benefits of technology

[0004] According to the present invention, there is provided a container including a cover member and a body member with a cavity adapted to contain an aerated beverage, wherein said body member and said cover member are releasably engageable with each other i

Problems solved by technology

A shortcoming associated with this arrangement is that if the content is an aerated beverage, the carbon dioxide or oxygen in or generated by the aerated beverage will gradually escape into the atmosphere, thus adversely affecting the taste and quality of the beverage.
However, such containers are not readily reusable, in the sense that a user cannot pour an aerated beverage into an opened can or bottle and still be able to maintain the carbon dioxide or oxygen in the beverage.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] An exploded side view of a beverage container according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, generally designated as 10. The container 10 is made up of two parts, namely a cover 12 made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS) and a body 14 made of polypropylene (PP) or ABS. The body 14 is in the general shape of a top-open cup with an internal cavity for containing aerated beverages, such as soft drinks and aerated mineral waters.

[0015] As shown more clearly in FIG. 2, the cover 12 has a lower circular recess 16 around which is tightly provided a silicon O-ring 18. A pull-tab 20 made of a resilient synthetic rubber, e.g. styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS), is secured to the cover 12 by an ABS retainer 22, in a manner to be discussed further below.

[0016] As can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, the pull-tab 20 is attached at one end with the cover 12 via the retainer 22, which allows the pull-tab 20 to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the retain...

Abstract

A container including a cover and a body with a cavity for containing an aerated beverage, the body and cover being releasably engageable with each other in an air-tight manner, and when the body and the cover are engaged with each other, a part of the cover extends into the cavity of the body to increase the air pressure in the cavity above atmospheric pressure.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] There are in existence a number of containers for containing aerated beverages, e.g. carbonated beverages, such as soft drinks and aerated mineral waters, or beverages containing oxygen or oxygen-producing contents, such as some alcohol-based beverages. There are cups made of paper with a releasable lid for covering the opening end of the cup. A drinking straw may be inserted through an opening of the lid into the interior of the cup, thus allowing a user to drink the content in the cup in the usual manner. A shortcoming associated with this arrangement is that if the content is an aerated beverage, the carbon dioxide or oxygen in or generated by the aerated beverage will gradually escape into the atmosphere, thus adversely affecting the taste and quality of the beverage. [0002] Other arrangements have been proposed for solving such a problem, and particularly for allowing storage of aerated beverages over a relatively long period of time while ret...
