Description

La présente invention est relative à un article de gobeleterie à savoir, verres à boire, gobelets, etc., de préférence en verre présentant des propriétés d'accumulation frigorifiques ou thermiques marquées.The present invention relates to an article of glassware, namely drinking glasses, goblets, etc., preferably made of glass having marked refrigeration or thermal accumulation properties.

La manière la plus courante actuellement pour boire des boissons fraîches consiste à utiliser des glaçons qui sont introduits dans la boisson. Compte tenu du fait que dans certains cas particuliers, le glaçon en fondant dilue la boisson, on utilise des "faux glaçons" qui sont constitués par une matière autre que de l'eau qui est mise à réfrigérer et qui restitue par un simple phénomène d'échange les frigoriesâla boisson dans lesquels ils sont introduits.The most common way to drink cold drinks today is to use ice cubes that are introduced into the drink. In view of the fact that in certain special cases, the ice cube melting dilutes the drink, "false ice cubes" are used which consist of a material other than water which is put to refrigerate and which restores by a simple phenomenon d 'exchange the frigoriesâla drink in which they are introduced.

L'efficacité de ces "faux glaçons" est cependant réduite et il importe que la boisson à proprement parler, avant d'être versée, ait été elle-même convenablement réfrigérée.The effectiveness of these "fake ice cubes" is however reduced and it is important that the drink itself, before being poured, has itself been properly refrigerated.

Un certain nombre d'utilisateurs craignent également d'utiliser des glaçons, du fait qu'ils ne sont pas assurés de la qualité alimentaire de l'eau qui a été utilisée pour préparer de tels glaçons.A number of users are also concerned about using ice cubes, as they are not assured of the food quality of the water that has been used to make such ice cubes.

La présente invention vise à porter remède à ces inconvénients en fournissant un article de gobeleterie de forme largement quelconque propre à refroidir ou le cas échéant à chauffer la boisson qui y est versée.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a article of gobletry of any shape suitable for cooling or if necessary heating the drink which is poured into it.

Selon l'invention, ledit article de gobeleterie qui sera qualifié ci-après généralement par l'expression "verre" mais qui peut bien entendu affecter une autre forme telle qu'une tasse, un bol, une chope, etc. comporte une double enveloppe scellée qui contient un liquide jouant le rôle de masse thermique, qui peut être refroidie ou le cas échéant chauffée, afin de refroidir ou de chauffer le liquide qui y sera versé, lors de son usage.According to the invention, said article of gobletry which will be qualified hereinafter generally by the expression "glass" but which can of course affect another form such as a cup, a bowl, a mug, etc. has a double sealed envelope which contains a liquid playing the role of thermal mass, which can be cooled or if necessary heated, in order to cool or heat the liquid which will be poured into it, during its use.

Avantageusement, ledit article est réalisé essentiellement en verre; cependant, d'autres matériaux peuvent être envisagés.Advantageously, said article is made essentially of glass; however, other materials can be considered.

On a observé que si la double enveloppe s'étend sur la hauteur complète du verre, l'épaisseur peut être gênante lors de l'utilisation. Pour porter remède à cet inconvénient, la double enveloppe ne s'étend pas sur toute la hauteur du verre et en particulier ne s'étend pas sur le buvant, c'est-à-dire la zone où l'on porte les lèvres. On conçoit donc que selon l'invention, le verre est constitué par une double enveloppe recouvrant son fond et pratiquement toute la hauteur du verre à l'exception du buvant. Le buvant peut être constitué lui-même par le prolongement soit de l'enveloppe intérieure soit de l'enveloppe extérieure.It has been observed that if the double envelope extends over the entire height of the glass, the thickness can be inconvenient during use. To remedy this drawback, the double envelope does not extend over the entire height of the glass and in particular does not extend over the rim, that is to say the area where the lips are worn. It is therefore understandable that according to the invention, the glass consists of a double envelope covering its bottom and practically the entire height of the glass except for the rim. The drinking can be formed itself by the extension of either the inner envelope or the outer envelope.

Des moyens appropriés sont prévus pous sceller hermétiquement la double enveloppe, lors de la fabrication, après que celle-ci ait été remplie d'une matière jouant le rôle de masse thermique adéquate. Un tel scellage peut se réaliser par les techniques de verrerie par fusion ou par collage à l'aide de colles convenables pour les matières utilisées.Appropriate means are provided for hermetically sealing the double jacket, during manufacture, after it has been filled with a material playing the role of adequate thermal mass. Such sealing can be carried out by glassmaking techniques by fusion or by gluing using suitable glues for the materials used.

Le produit présentant une forte capacité d'absorption de calories ou de frigories peut être un des produits habituellement utilisés à cet effet, tel que l'éthylène-glycol et analogues. En général, il convient de ne pas remplir complètement la double enveloppe et de laisser un espace suffisant pour permettre la dilatation sous l'effet de la chaleur.The product having a high capacity for absorbing calories or frigories can be one of the products usually used for this purpose, such as ethylene glycol and the like. In general, it is advisable not to completely fill the double envelope and to leave sufficient space to allow expansion under the effect of heat.

L'usage dans des buts de réfrigération de l'eau n'est pas recommandable par suite des caractéristiques bien connues de dilatation sous l'effet d'un abaissement de température à partir de 4° C que présente l'eau.The use for water cooling purposes is not recommended due to the well-known characteristics of expansion under the effect of a lowering of temperature from 4 ° C that water presents.

L'utilisation la plus courante du verre qui vient d'être décrit est bien entendu de maintenir fraîches ou même glacées des boissons. A cet effet, le verre est préalablement stocké dans une armoire frigorifique spécialement adaptée à la forme du verre- De telles armoires frigorifiques comportent des logements aptes pour recevoir des verres de forme correspondante et les verres y sont laissés un temps suffisant pour que le produit contenu dans la double enveloppe soit pratiquement en équilibre avec la température de l'armoire frigorifique. Suivant l'utilisation prévue, l'armoire frigorifique peut être conçue pour recevoir par exemple une demi-douzaine, une douzaine ou plusieurs douzaines de verres. L'usage le plus évident est bien entendu l'utilisation dans les bars, cafés, etc. qui sont amenés à distribuer des boissons fralches. La forme du verre est bien entendu largement quelconque et par exemple, lorsqu'on envisage de l'utiliser pour de la bière, il peut s'agir d'une chope avec anse. Dans ce cas, des découpes adéquates sont prévues dans les logements de l'armoire frigorifique pour recevoir ladite anse. Avantageusement,une ou plusieurs boucles d'un circuit de réfrigération sont prévues en dessous des logements destinés à recevoir les verres, de manière à entourer ceux-ci lorsqu'ils sont mis en place dans l'armoire frigorifique. L'armoire frigorifique elle-même peut être équipée de boutons de réglage de thermostat, d'un dispositif de réfrigération rapide, d'un dispositif de dégivrage, tous ces moyens étant connus en soi pour différentes installations frigorifiques ne nécessitant pas de description particulière.The most common use of the glass which has just been described is of course to keep drinks cold or even iced. To this end, the glass is previously stored in a refrigeration cabinet specially adapted to the shape of the glass. in the double jacket is practically in equilibrium with the temperature of the refrigeration cabinet. Depending on the intended use, the refrigeration cabinet can be designed to receive, for example, half a dozen, a dozen or several dozen glasses. The most obvious use is of course the use in bars, cafes, etc. who are called upon to distribute frank drinks. The shape of the glass is of course largely arbitrary and for example, when considering using it for beer, it may be a mug with a handle. In this case, adequate cutouts are provided in the housings of the refrigeration cabinet to receive said handle. Advantageously, one or more loops of a refrigeration circuit are provided below the housings intended to receive the glasses, so as to surround them when they are put in place in the refrigeration cabinet. The refrigeration cabinet itself can be fitted with thermostat adjustment knobs, a rapid refrigeration device, a defrosting device, all of these means being known per se for various refrigeration installations which do not require any particular description.

Une utilisation éventuelle du dispositif de l'invention consiste bien entendu également à garder des boissons chaudes et il convient à cet effet de garder un certain temps les verres dans par exemple un bain-marie qui provoquerait l'accumulation de calories dans le produit contenu dans la double enveloppe.A possible use of the device of the invention of course also consists in keeping drinks hot and for this purpose it is advisable to keep the glasses for a certain time in for example a double boiler which would cause the accumulation of calories in the product contained in the double envelope.

Il convient de noter qu'un intérêt particulier du verre destiné à garder des boissons fraîches est le fait que la masse du liquide contenu dans la double enveloppe peut dans certains cas être suffisante pour que toutes les frigories accumulées n'aient pas été consommées après l'usage du verre. Il suffit alors de rincer ou même de laver rapidement à chaud celui-ci et de le replacer dans l'armoire frigorifique où il pourra être rapidement ramené à sa température la plus basse en profitant des frigories stockées qui n'ont pas été totalement consommées.It should be noted that a particular advantage of the glass intended to keep drinks cold is the fact that the mass of the liquid contained in the double envelope can in certain cases be sufficient so that all the accumulated frigories have not been consumed after the use of glass. It then suffices to rinse or even to quickly wash it hot and to replace it in the refrigerated cabinet where it can be quickly brought back to its lowest temperature by taking advantage of stored frigories which have not been completely consumed.

Ainsi qu'il a été indiqué précédemment, la forme, le volume et la matière desdits articles de gobeleterie sont largement quelconques. Il convient également de noter que ces articles peuvent subir une décoration en fonction des souhaits. C'est ainsi qu'il est possible de prévoir en particulier une bague métallique ou autre au niveau où s'arrête la double enveloppe pour laisser uniquement libre la zone du buvant et ainsi recouvrir la zone où s'effectue généralement le scellage de la double enveloppe. Cette bague, mais également toute autre surface de l'article peut comporter des décorations, des publicités etc.As indicated above, the shape, volume and material of said items of plumbing are largely arbitrary. It should also be noted that these items can be decorated as desired. This is how it is possible in particular to provide a metal or other ring at the level where the double jacket stops to leave only the area of the rim free and thus cover the area where the sealing of the double is generally carried out. envelope. This ring, but also any other surface of the article may include decorations, advertisements, etc.

Afin d'assurer une bonne stabilité du verre, il est généralement opportun de prévoir que la double enveloppe présente une épaisseur supérieure dans le niveau du fond que sur les parois latérales. Ainsi, tout en assurant la stabilité du verre, on est assuré de disposer d'un volume de produit suffisant dans la double enveloppe pour rafraîchir efficacement la boisson qui y sera versée.In order to ensure good stability of the glass, it is generally advisable to provide that the double envelope has a greater thickness in the level of the bottom than on the side walls. Thus, while ensuring the stability of the glass, it is ensured that there is a sufficient volume of product in the double envelope to effectively refresh the drink which will be poured into it.

Afin de mieux décrire l'invention, on se référera utilement aux figures en annexe données à titre d'illustration sans caractère limitatif.In order to better describe the invention, reference will usefully be made to the appended figures given by way of illustration without limitation.

Dans les dessins :

  • - la figure 1 représente une vue d'un verre , conçue selon les principes de l'invention;
  • - la figure 2 représente l'armoire frigorifique adaptée
  • - la figure 3 une vue agrandie d'une partie de la figure 2.
In the drawings:
  • - Figure 1 shows a view of a glass, designed according to the principles of the invention;
  • - Figure 2 shows the adapted refrigeration cabinet
  • - Figure 3 an enlarged view of part of Figure 2.

Selon l'invention, le verre est constitué par une double enveloppe 1, 2 s'étendant sur la plus grande partie de la paroi latérale du verre et également sur le fond de celui-ci. Cette double enveloppe est scellée hermétiquement à sa partie supérieure 3 par tout moyen approprié tel que thermosoudage ou collage, après qu'elle ait reçue un volume suffisant d'un produit adéquat 5, éthylène-glycol ou autre. Le produit ne remplit cependant pas la totalité de la double enveloppe et un espace 7 est prévu pour permettre la dilatation du produit. Ainsi qu'il est indiqué, le buvant 9 c'est-à-dire la partie supérieure du verre où l'on porte les lèvres dépasse de la hauteur de la double enveloppe et est constitué par une prolongation de l'enveloppe.According to the invention, the glass is constituted by a double envelope 1, 2 extending over the greater part of the side wall of the glass and also on the bottom of the latter. This double envelope is hermetically sealed at its upper part 3 by any suitable means such as heat-sealing or bonding, after it has received a sufficient volume of an adequate product 5, ethylene glycol or the like. However, the product does not fill the entire double envelope and a space 7 is provided to allow the product to expand. As indicated, the drink 9, that is to say the upper part of the glass where the lips are worn, exceeds the height of the double envelope and is constituted by an extension of the envelope.

Différentes formes peuvent être prévues, par exemple un verre avec anse. A hauteur de la zone du scellage hermétique 3 et de l'espace de dilatation, il peut être opportun d'entourer l'ensemble d'une bague 11 qui confère un fini élégant à l'ensemble et qui de plus peut cacher les traces éventuellement laissées par le scellage 3 et l'espace vide de dilatation 7, si souhaité.Different shapes can be provided, for example a glass with a handle. At the level of the hermetic sealing zone 3 and the expansion space, it may be appropriate to surround the assembly with a ring 11 which gives an elegant finish to the assembly and which moreover may hide any traces. left by the seal 3 and the void expansion space 7, if desired.

Du fait que le produit 5 contenu dans la double enveloppe est généralement un liquide, celui-ci peut être coloré. Certains colorants présentant des colorations variables en fonction de la température peuvent être en particulier utilisés afin que l'on puisse déterminer avec précision si le verre et en particulier le produit 5 contenu dans la double enveloppe a été suffisamment réduit pour assurer une capacité frigorifique suffisante compte tenu du volume et de la température du liquide qui sera versé dans le verre.Since the product 5 contained in the jacket is generally a liquid, it can be colored. Certain dyes with variable colorations depending on the temperature can in particular be used so that it can be determined with precision whether the glass and in particular the product contained in the double jacket has been reduced enough to ensure sufficient refrigeration capacity. given the volume and temperature of the liquid that will be poured into the glass.

Les verres qui viennent d'être décrits sont en principe, dans des buts de réfrigération, qui sont les buts les plus courants, stockés dans une armoire frigorifique telle que représentée à la figure 3. Ainsi qu'on le notera, cette armoire frigorifique portant le repère général 20 comporte une série d'alvéoles 22 de formes correspondantes à ceux des verres pour lesquels ils sont utilisés. Sous la plaque alvéolée 24, sont disposés des serpentins de réfrigération pour les verres. Il peut être avantageux que l'armoire soit fermée par un couvercle ou similaire lorsqu'elle n'est pas en utilisation. L'invention s'étend à cet objet.The glasses which have just been described are in principle, for purposes of refrigeration, which are the most common purposes, stored in a refrigeration cabinet as shown in FIG. 3. As will be noted, this refrigerated cabinet bearing the general reference 20 comprises a series of cells 22 of shapes corresponding to those of the glasses for which they are used. Under the honeycomb plate 24, refrigeration coils for the glasses are arranged. It may be advantageous for the cabinet to be closed by a cover or the like when not in use. The invention extends to this object.

Les différents éléments d'une installation frigorifique sont bien connus et ne nécessitent donc pas de description complémentaire, étant entendu qu'il peut s'agir aussi bien d'une installation à compresseur qu'une installation à absorption.The various elements of a refrigeration installation are well known and therefore do not require any additional description, it being understood that it can be either a compressor installation or an absorption installation.

Ainsi que l'indique la figure 2 et plus en détail la figure 3, le verre 1 est de préférence posé dans l'armoire frigorifique avec le fond 32 vers le haut en reposant sur des pointes 33. De cette manière, si le verre est remis mouillé dans l'armoire frigorifique, il n'adhère pas à une paroi de celle-ci sous l'effet de la congélation et il peut être retiré facilement de l'armoire frigorifique.As shown in FIG. 2 and in more detail in FIG. 3, the glass 1 is preferably placed in the refrigeration cabinet with the bottom 32 upwards, resting on spikes 33. In this way, if the glass is put back wet in the refrigeration cabinet, it does not adhere to a wall thereof under the effect of freezing and it can be easily removed from the refrigeration cabinet.

Bien qu'on ait décrit des formes d'utilisation particulièrement préférées de l'invention, il doit être bien entendu que celle-ci n'est pas limitée à la description qui vient d'être faite et que de nombreuses variantes et modifications peuvent être apportées aussi bien aux articles de gobeleterie qu'aux armoires de réfrigération pour ceux-ci, tout en restant dans le cadre et dans l'esprit de l'invention.Although particularly preferred forms of use of the invention have been described, it should be understood that it is not limited to the description which has just been given and that numerous variants and modifications can be made both to articles of gobletry and to refrigeration cabinets for these, while remaining within the scope and in the spirit of the invention.

L'invention peut être utilisée à usage domestique ou dans les bars, cafés, restaurants, hôtels, cliniques et hopitaux.The invention can be used for domestic use or in bars, cafes, restaurants, hotels, clinics and hospitals.
