AI Technical Summary
Existing bottle closures for sparkling wine and champagne bottles are limited to simple plaque solutions, lacking integration of functional modules like electronics, light, and sensors, and do not provide stable and safe activation mechanisms.
Integration of functional modules such as electronics, light, and sensors into bottle closures through designs like brace integration, capsule/film integration, attached housings, or alternative designs like ring systems, sleeves, or hoods, with activation options via capsule removal, switches, movement, or wireless communication.
Provides stable and safe integration of functional modules in bottle closures, ensuring reliable activation and maintaining closure stability.
Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to bottle closures for sparkling wine and champagne bottles, in particular devices with integrated functional elements (electronics, light, sound, sensors) that are triggered when the capsule is removed or by alternative activation.
[0002] Known plaque solutions are limited to either an attached pocket or a cavity. The object of the invention is to protect any alternative design in which a functional module is integrated in conjunction with the cork, the clip, or the capsule.
[0003] The solution comprises a device with at least one functional module (e.g., light, sound, sensors, decoration) that can be integrated into one of the following designs: 1. Brace integration: The safety bar is extended, thickened, or provided with cavities that can accommodate electronics. 2. Capsule / film integration: The functional module is integrated into the bottle cover (capsule / film), for example as laminated electronics. 3. Attached additional housing: Regardless of plaques, a housing or clip-on element can be attached above or to the side of the cork. 4. Alternative designs: ring systems, sleeves or hoods over the cork, which serve as functional carriers.
[0004] Activation can be achieved either by removing the capsule (foil), via switches (light, micro, pressure, or reed contact), by movement (e.g., shaking the bottle), or wirelessly (smartphone, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi). All designs maintain the stability and safety of the bottle closure.
Claims

[2] Device according to claim 1, characterized by that the bar is thickened, lengthened, or has cavities. [3] Device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by that light and / or sound modules are integrated into the bracket. [4] Device with integrated functional module, characterized by that it is embedded, set into, or laminated within the capsule or foil of the bottle. [5] Device according to claim 4, characterized by that the electronics / switches are activated when the foil is removed. [6] Device with integrated functional module, characterized by that the cork is equipped with electronics for light and sound at the factory. [7] Device with integrated functional module, characterized bythat this is attached to the cork in a separate housing above or to the side. [8] Device according to claim 7, characterized by that the housing is designed as a clip-on, hood or sleeve. [9] Device according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by that the electronics are activated by removing the capsule, by switches, by movement, or wirelessly via a smartphone. [10] Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that optical, acoustic and / or decorative effects are created.
