摘要:
An apparatus for, and a method of, placing an elongated insert 1 in a can 2 through a narrow top opening 6 has a head assembly 10 formed by a sleeve 21 slidable over a core 20. The core 20 has an inclined end face 23 with a vacuum suction port 25. The insert 1 is picked up from a delivery chute by vacuum suction through port 25 to be held on the end face 23 in a first orientation. The head assembly 10 is displaced with the insert attached thereto and moved into the can 2 whilst maintaining the insert 1 in its first orientation. The insert abuts the can base 3 and the sleeve 21 is displaced over the core 20 to abut the insert 1 and pivot the insert on the base 3 into a second position of orientation in which the opposed ends of the insert frictionally engage the can side wall 4 to retain the insert in the can.
摘要:
A beverage package has a can (1) within a primary chamber (5) to which is located an insert (6) having a secondary chamber (10). The insert has a bore (11) within which is received a lower end of a capilliary tube (15). The can (1) contains beverage such as beer (20) having gas in solution and sealed to form a headspace (21) containing gas at a pressure greater than atmospheric. The tube (15) contains beverage and its upper end opens into the headspace (21). The secondary chamber (10) contains gas at a pressure greater than atmospheric and on opening of the container the headspace (21) de- pressurises causing beverage and/or gas from the chamber (10) to displace beverage through the restriction of the capilliary tube (15) directly into the headspace (21) causing froth to develop in the headspace.
摘要:
A beverage package and a method of forming such a package has a can (1) within a primary chamber (5) of which is located an insert (6) having a secondary chamber (10). The insert has a seating in the form of a bore (11) within which is received the lower end of a tube (15). The tube (15) is fitted to the insert whilst the latter is positioned in the can. When the can is charged with beverage such as beer (20) having gas in solution and sealed to form a headspace (21) containing gas at a pressure greater than atmospheric, beer from the chamber (20) may fill the tube (15). The secondary chamber (10) contains gas at a pressure greater than atmospheric and on opening the container the headspace (21) de- pressurises causing beverage and/or gas from the secondary chamber to be ejected through the tube (15) and such ejection causes froth to be developed in the headspace (21). The tube (15) isolates a major part of the beer in the container from having its gas liberated so that such gas can evolve gradually to provide sparkle in the beer when the latter is poured into a glass. The tube is preferably press fitted into the socket (11). In an alternative arrangement the tube may be received on a spigot extending from the insert (6). Preferably the seating (11) is co-axial with a cylindrical can (1) and the tube (15) is curved to locate its upper end adjacent to the side wall (3) of the can.
