Abstract

A container system for liquids, including an in-container mixer/aerator in the exit throat of the container. The mixer/aerator is a cylinder, having axial peripheral grooves, and and axial central bore, divided by axial vanes.

Claims (29)

1 . A container system for liquids, comprising:

a. a container for a liquid,

b. a throat on the container which allows liquid to be pored form the container,

c. a mixer/aerator in the throat of the bottle,

d. said mixer/aerator having a cylindrical outer surface,

e. said mixer/aerator having a plurality of axial grooves around the entire periphery of the cylindrical outer surface,

f. said mixer/aerator having an axial bore,

g. said mixer/aerator having an axial divider, that divides the bore into a plurality of axial sub-bores.

2 . A container system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of flat vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.

3 . A container system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of curves vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.

4 . A container system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the liquid is wine.

5 . A mixer/aerator, comprising:

a. a cylindrical outer surface,

b. a plurality of axial grooves around the entire periphery of the cylindrical outer surface,

c. an axial bore,

d. an axial divider, that divides the bore into a plurality of axial sub-bores.

6 . A mixer/aerator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of flat vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.

7 . A mixer/aerator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of curves vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.

8 . A mixer/aerator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the liquid is wine.

9 . A method for mixing and aerating a liquid, comprising the step of:

a. pouring a liquid from a container through the throat of the container, and through a mixer/aerator positioned in the throat of the container,

b. said mixer/aerator, comprising:

i. a cylindrical outer surface,

ii. a plurality of axial grooves around the entire periphery of the cylindrical outer surface,

iii. an axial bore,

iv. an axial divider, that divides the bore into a plurality of axial sub-bores.

10 . A method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of flat vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.

11 . A method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of curves vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.

12 . A method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the liquid is wine.
