Abstract
An aerating system includes a container, a liquid, and a venturi tube. The liquid is inside the container. The container includes a dispensing port for dispensing the liquid. The dispensing port includes the venturi tube. The venturi tube is positioned so liquid being dispensed through the dispensing port flows through the venturi tube. The venturi tube includes a portion that includes an air-access port. The air access port is located to draw air into the venturi tube when the liquid is dispensed through the venturi tube. The portion of the venturi tube that includes the air-access port is located inside the container.
Claims32
A device for aerating liquid while dispensing the liquid from a container that includes a dispensing port, wherein the dispensing port includes an inside wall, and wherein a closure is connectable to close the dispensing port, comprising an aerator fitment sized for tight press fit within the dispensing port, wherein when the aerator fitment is positioned within the inside wall of the dispensing port and when the closure is connected to close the dispensing port, the liquid and said entire aerator fitment are enclosed within the container and its closure, wherein said aerator fitment includes a venturi tube, a vacuum avoiding port, and a portion configured to make a seal with the inside wall of the dispensing port, wherein said venturi tube is positioned so liquid being dispensed through said dispensing port flows through said venturi tube, wherein said venturi tube includes a portion having an air-access port, wherein said air access port is located to draw air into said venturi tube when the liquid is dispensed through said venturi tube, wherein when said aerator fitment is located in the dispensing port, said portion of said venturi tube that includes said air-access port is located within the dispensing port, wherein said vacuum avoiding port includes a single vent tube.
