Preservation device

A preservation device for use with a bottle having a neck comprising:

• a first member having at least a flange configured to fit outside a neck of a bottle, and a tube configured to fit within the neck of the bottle;
• a second member operably connected to the tube at an end of the tube distal to the flange, the second member having a side wall and configured to fit within the neck of the bottle;
• at least one sealing member configured to fit inside the neck of the bottle and extending around an outer surface of the first member for substantially preventing the flow of liquid or air into or out of the bottle around the outer surface of the first member, when the first member is disposed within the neck of the bottle;
• and
• a container for holding an oxygen absorber, the container being detachably connected to an end of the second member distal to the first member, and the container having at least one side wall and at least one aperture and a membrane attached to the at least one side wall of the container and extending across the at least one aperture, wherein the membrane is comprised of a material that is air permeable and liquid impermeable.

A preservation device for a bottle having a neck comprising:

• an upper member having a first side and a second side, opposite the first side, and a bore extending through the upper member;
• a lower member disposed adjacent the second side of the upper member, the lower member being configured to fit within the neck of the bottle;
• at least one sealing member configured to fit at least a portion of the sealing member inside the neck of the bottle and extending around an outer surface of the lower member for substantially preventing the flow of liquid or air into or out of the bottle around the outer surface of the lower member when the lower member is disposed within the neck of the bottle;
• at least one inlet disposed on the lower member below the sealing member, wherein the inlet is configured to allow the flow of a liquid or air into the lower member, and wherein the inlet is in communication with the bore;
• an attachment member disposed on the lower member at an end of the lower member distal to the upper member;
• and
• a container for holding a replaceable oxygen absorber, the container being detachably connected to an end of the attachment member distal to the lower member, the container being configured to mate with the attachment member, the container having at least one side wall having at least one aperture and a membrane attached to the at least one side wall and extending across the at least one aperture, wherein the membrane is comprised of a material that is air permeable and liquid impermeable.

A preservation device for use with a bottle having a neck comprising:

• a first member having at least a flange configured to fit outside the neck of the bottle, and a tube configured to fit within the neck of the bottle;
• a second member operably connected to the tube at an end of the tube distal to the flange, the second member having a side wall and configured to fit within the neck of the bottle;
• an air vent disposed in the side wall of the second member at an end of the second member distal to the tube;
• an air channel extending from the air vent to an end of the tube proximate to the flange, wherein the air channel is separably enclosed within the tube;
• at least one sealing member extending around an outer surface of the first member for substantially preventing the flow of liquid or air into or out of the bottle around the outer surface of the first member, when the first member is disposed within the neck of the bottle;
• and
• a container for holding a replaceable oxygen absorber, the container being attached to an end of the second member distal to the first member, and the container having at least one side wall and at least one aperture, and a membrane attached to the at least one side wall of the container and extending across the at least one aperture, wherein the membrane is comprised of a material that is air permeable and liquid impermeable.
