Abstract

A carbonation device (100) for carbonating a beverage in a container (200), the carbonation device (100) comprising: a head portion (114b) for sealably receiving a mouth portion (220) of the container (200), the head portion (114b) having an infuser (120) that is operable to inject carbon dioxide into the container (200) via the mouth (220) of the container (200); and an engagement feature (173) with which the container (200) can be configured to securably locate the container (200) with respect to the head portion (114b) in: an injection configuration in which the mouth portion (220) of the container (200) is substantially sealed with respect to the infuser (120) so that the infuser (120) can inject carbon dioxide into the container (200) to carbonate the beverage in the container; and a depressurisation configuration in which the mouth portion (220) of the container (200) is partially unsealed with respect to the infuser (120) to allow for depressurization of the container (200).

Dependent claims

A carbonation device for carbonating a beverage in a container, the carbonation device comprising:

a head portion for sealably receiving a mouth portion of the container, the head portion having an infuser that is operable to inject carbon dioxide into the container via the mouth of the container;
and
an engagement feature with which the container can be configured to securably locate the container with respect to the head portion in:
an injection configuration in which the mouth portion of the container is substantially sealed with respect to the infuser so that the infuser can inject carbon dioxide into the container to carbonate the beverage in the container;
and
a depressurisation configuration in which the mouth portion of the container is partially unsealed with respect to the infuser to allow for depressurization of the container.

3 more elements

A carbonation device for carbonating a beverage in a container, the carbonation device comprising:

a head portion communicable with a mouth portion of the container, the head portion being adjustable between a first head position and a second head position;
an infuser device having a switch that is selectively activatable to release carbon dioxide for injection into the container via the head portion;
a handle that is operable by a user for activating the switch of the infuser device;
and
a linkage linking the head portion with the switch, wherein the linkage is configurable in a first configuration, when the head portion is in the first head position, in which
operation of the handle activates the switch to carbonate the beverage in the container;
and
a second configuration, when the head portion is in the second head position, in which operation of the handle does not activate the switch.
