Benefits of technology

[0004]Others have developed holders to keep bottles in inverted positions, however, these inventions are inferior because they do not address another cause for the loss of carbonation, that is the thickness of the cap. A tight seal between the cap and the bottle prevents loss of carbonation. However the gas can also simply diffuse through the plastic at the top of the bottle top and the cap. The rate of diffusion is dependent on the thickness of the material it must defuse through, the more material the less the rate of diffusion. Additionally,

Problems solved by technology

Once the bottle is opened, however, the effervescent liquid may lose its “fizz” or carbonation before the contents are consumed.
One cause for the loss of carbonation is the failure of the seal between the cap and the top of opened bottle.
The replaced cap does not provide a sufficient seal to the top of the bottle, allowing the gas to slowly escape, thereby causing the effervescent liquid to lose its “fizz

Embodiment Construction

[0014]The following provides a description of the preferred embodiment of the invention, but in no way limits the invention. Other configurations are possible. This is especially true because the invention can be configured to accept any type of plastic bottle 1.

[0015]The holder 3 is a cylinder with an opening 7 on one end. The opening 7 is tapered to accommodate the tapered top end of a plastic beverage bottle 1. At the bottom of the opening 7 is a cylindrical cavity 5 that is tapped or threaded to accommodate the screw top of the plastic beverage bottle 1. To practice the invention, the holder 3 is placed on top the plastic beverage bottle 1 and the holder is screwed on to the top of the bottle 1. The bottle 1 is then inverted and the holder 3 then supports the bottle 1 as it rests on the counter or storage shelf in the refrigerator. Another embodiment of the invention includes an additional sealing device. Namely, a cone 8 placed in the bottom of the threaded cavity 5. The base o...

Abstract

The specification relates to the retention of carbonation of effervescent liquids stored in plastic bottles. The invention is holder that allows the plastic bottle to be held in an inverted position and forms a liquid seal between the threaded top of the bottle and the holder's threaded cavity.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Effervescent beverages are very popular with consumers. Effervescent beverages are produced by dissolving a gas, typically carbon dioxide, into the liquid beverage. This process is often called carbonation. The use of low gas permeable plastics has allowed the packaging of effervescent beverages in plastic containers. Effervescent beverages are provided in a variety of plastic containers of different volumes. One popular size is the two liter bottle. Although popular, the two liter bottle once opened and recapped my lose carbonation or go flat before the entire contents are consumed. This invention relates to the improvement of the retention of carbonation of beverages or any effervescent liquid stored in plastic bottles.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]The use of plastic containers to store effervescent liquids or beverages is an accepted practice. The retention of carbonation of an unopened container is sufficient for shipment, warehousing and retail ...
