Abstract
A system and method for easily operated self-releasing stopper/cork for bottles of compressed liquids. The corks have a gas bladder that is designed to be inserted in a bottle and inflated, the bladder having a ribbed or smooth exterior to complete the sealing of the bottle whereby a gas release mechanism can be activated by depressing a button on a cap or via an on-board micro controller and/or electro-mechanical release solution in the cap. Once the gas is released from the bladder the pressure inside the vessel will collapse the bladder's bottom and eject the cork assembly from the bottle.
Claims7
A stopper for a neck of a bottle, the stopper comprising:
- an automatic electromechanical release mechanism positioned inside the stopper;
- and
- an inflatable bladder with an interior chamber, wherein the automatic electromechanical mechanism releases pressure of an internal gas externally to the stopper and the bottle, wherein the automatic electromechanical release mechanism comprises an actuator that moves from a first position go a second position, venting the internal gas to an external environment.
A stopper for a neck of a bottle, the stopper comprising:
- a cap assembly;
- an inflatable bladder with an interior chamber;
- and
- an automatic electromechanical release mechanism, wherein the automatic electromechanical release mechanism controls a release mechanism to release gas or air from the inflatable bladder to an area outside the bottle while the stopper is inserted into the bottle.
