US 2016/0354732 A1 · BEVERAGE AERATOR

Abstract

A liquid aerator including a first conduit for liquid communication therethrough, a second conduit for air communication therethrough, and, a third conduit configured for air communication between the first and second conduits; the first conduit including an internal shape configuration for generating a first pressure condition therein as liquid flows therethrough wherein air in the third conduit is drawn in to the first conduit in response to the first pressure condition generated in the first conduit, and, the second conduit including an internal shape configuration for generating a second pressure condition therein as air flows therethrough wherein air in the second conduit is forced in to the third conduit in response to the second pressure condition generated in the second conduit, whereby air flowing through the second conduit is transferred via the third conduit in to contact with the liquid flowing through the first conduit to aerate the liquid.

Dependent claims

A liquid aeration device including:

a first conduit for providing liquid communication between a first end and a second end of the first conduit;
a second conduit for providing air communication between a first end and a second end of the second conduit;
a third conduit being configured for providing air communication therethrough between the first conduit and the second conduit;
the first conduit including an internal shape configuration adapted for generating a first pressure condition therein as the liquid flows therethrough wherein air in the third conduit is able to be drawn in to the first conduit in response to the first pressure condition being generated in the first conduit, and, the second conduit including an internal shape configuration adapted for generating a second pressure condition therein as the air flows therethrough wherein air in the second conduit is able to be forced in to the third conduit in response to the second pressure condition being generated in the second conduit, whereby at least a volume of air flowing through the second conduit is able to be transferred via the third conduit in to contact with the liquid flowing through the first conduit to aerate the liquid.

A beverage pourer for pouring a beverage from a bottle, the beverage pourer including:

a hollow pourer body having an opening disposed at a first end and a spout at a second end, the hollow pourer body including a liquid pour conduit and an air intake conduit extending therethrough, and an air feed conduit configured for providing air communication from the air intake conduit towards the liquid pour conduit;
the liquid pour conduit having a first end positioned adjacent the first end of the hollow pourer body which is configured for positioning inside of the opening of the bottle, and, a second end of the liquid pour conduit being positioned adjacent the spout so as to allow the beverage in the bottle to be poured out of the bottle via the liquid pour conduit and spout;
the air intake conduit having a first end positioned adjacent the first end of the hollow pourer body which is configured for positioning inside of the opening of the bottle, and, a second end of the air intake conduit being configured for positioning to allow air from outside of the bottle to flow into the bottle via the air intake conduit in response to the beverage being poured out of the bottle via the liquid pour conduit;
the liquid pour conduit including an internal shape configuration adapted for generating a first pressure condition therein as the beverage flows therethrough wherein air in the adjoining air feed conduit is able to be drawn in to the liquid pour conduit in response to the first pressure condition generated in the liquid pour conduit, and, the air intake conduit including an internal shape configuration adapted for generating a second pressure condition therein as the air flows therethrough wherein air in the air intake conduit is able to be forced in to the adjoining air feed conduit in response to the second pressure condition generated in the air intake conduit, whereby at least a volume of air flowing through the air intake conduit is able to be transferred via the air feed conduit in to contact with the beverage flowing through the liquid pour conduit to aerate the beverage.
