Description

The present invention relates to a dripping prevention device for a bottle attached to the outer peripheral portion of a spout of a bottle and used, and a method for preventing dripping of a bottle using the dripping prevention device.

As shown in FIG. 5, when pouring wine into a glass, a phenomenon occurs in which wine drips 12 are generated from the spout 11 of the wine bottle 10. This is because the glass material used for the wine bottle 10 is a hydrophilic material, so wine molecules are attracted to the spout when pouring wine, and when the spout is raised, the wine is attracted to this spout. It is said that sagging 12 occurs.

If wine drips from the spout of the bottle, it may stain the tablecloth and clothes, and it may be difficult to remove stains over time when removing stains from wine, so there is a way to prevent dripping of wine bottles. , Various proposals have been made so far.

First, as a method of pouring wine, there are methods such as turning the bottle around at the end of pouring and receiving it with a napkin when raising the spout after pouring. However, proper prevention of dripping of wine bottles by these methods requires considerable skill and is troublesome.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a method of inserting an instrument such as a decanting porer 13 as shown in FIG. 6 into a spout 11 of a wine bottle and pouring wine into a glass 15 is also performed. However, this method requires the use of large-scale and expensive equipment such as the decanting porer 13, and also impairs the appearance of the wine bottle 10 and the atmosphere of the place where the wine is served. That is, when enjoying reasonable wine at home, equipment such as the decanting porer 13 can be used, but when enjoying expensive wine at a high-class restaurant or the like, the decanting porer 13 or the like can be used. If an instrument is used, the appearance of the wine bottle 10 and the atmosphere of the place where the wine is served will be spoiled.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, Brandeis University can prevent dripping of a wine bottle by providing a groove 14 having a width of 2 mm and a depth of about 1 mm on the outer peripheral portion of the vicinity of the spout 11 of the wine bottle. Proposed by biophysicist Daniel Pellman. However, this method requires changing the shape and structure of the wine bottle 10 of wine produced and sold by various people all over the world.

Further, regarding prevention of dripping of bottles, bottles, and tea ware other than wine bottles, Patent Documents 1 to 3 disclose methods for inserting an instrument / adapter such as the decanting porer into a spout. The method of is not appropriate as in the case of the decanting porer described above.

Further, it can be made inconspicuous even if it is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the spout of the bottle.

The color of the wine bottle depends on the type of wine and the place of origin. Normally, for red wine, a green bottle, for wine such as Bojolet Nouveau, which is drunk immediately after bottling, for wine with a focus on glass reusability, for colorless bottles, for wine such as rosé wine, which has a short time to drink, A transparent bottle is used to show its beautiful shade. The colors traditionally used for wine bottles are:
〇 Bordeaux: Dark green for red wine, light green for dry white wine, transparent for sweet white wine.
〇 Burgundy, Rhone: Dark green.
〇 Mosel, Alsace: Dark to medium green. Some producers traditionally use amber.
〇 Line: Amber. Some producers traditionally use green.
