Abstract

Le panier de décantation (1) présente un support (6) pour une pile électrique (7) et une ampoule (4) disposée dans la région destinée à recevoir le col (2a) de la bouteille. Cette ampoule (4) est reliée au support de pile (6) par un conducteur (5) le long duquel est inséré un interrupteur (8) placé sur la face inférieure du panier, de façon que le circuit de l'ampoule soit interrompu lorsque le panier (1) repose sur sa base et soit fermé lorsque le panier est soulevé. Ainsi, quand du vin est versé de la bouteille, son col est éclairé. Il est donc facile de s'assurer que le vin versé est pur et clair, et d'arrêter le soutirage dès que le dépôt apparaît dans le col de la bouteille.The settling basket (1) has a support (6) for an electric battery (7) and an ampoule (4) arranged in the region intended to receive the neck (2a) of the bottle. This bulb (4) is connected to the battery holder (6) by a conductor (5) along which is inserted a switch (8) placed on the underside of the basket, so that the bulb circuit is interrupted when the basket (1) rests on its base and is closed when the basket is lifted. So when wine is poured from the bottle, its neck is lighted up. It is therefore easy to ensure that the wine poured is pure and clear, and to stop racking as soon as the deposit appears in the neck of the bottle.

Dekantierkorb Decanter basket

Beschreibungdescription

Technisches Gebiet der ErfindungTechnical field of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dekantierkorb,The invention relates to a decanter,

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Zum Ausschenken von älteren Rotweinen aus einer Weinflasche wird diese oft in einen sogenannten Dekantierkorb gelegt, der je nach Material, aus dem er besteht, und Landesgegend auch Flaschenkorb oder Flaschenwiege genannt wird. Ein solcher Dekantierkorb wird sowohl zum eigentlichen Dekantieren, d.h. zumTo serve older red wines from a wine bottle, this is often placed in a so-called decanter, which is also called a bottle basket or bottle cradle depending on the material from which it is made and the country. Such a decanting basket is used both for actual decanting, i.e. to the

Umgiessen des Flascheninhalts in eine Karaffe, wie auch zum Einschenken des Weines in ein Glas verwendet. Damit nur der klare Wein und nicht etwa auch das besonders bei älteren Weinen allenfalls vorhandene Depot aus der Flasche ausgegossen wird, verwendet man zum Ausgiessen ein Kerzenlicht, über welchem man den Dekantierkorb so hält, dass der Flaschenhals gut durchleuchtet wird, sodass man gut überwachen kann, ob der ausfliessende Wein noch klar ist oder ob sich Depot gegen die^ Fla- schenmündung hin bewegt. Nun ist jedoch die Verwendung einer brennenden Kerze nicht immer praktisch und besonders beim Ausgiessen des Weines in die Gläser ist die Verwendung einer brennenden Kerze meist so störend, dass darauf verzichtet wird eine solche zu benützen, sodass stets das Risiko besteht, dass nicht nur klarer Wein sondern auch Depot aus der Flasche ausgeschenkt wir .Pouring the contents of the bottle into a carafe, as well as used to pour the wine into a glass. To ensure that only the clear wine and not the depot that is available, especially with older wines, is poured out of the bottle, a candlelight is used for pouring, over which you hold the decanting basket so that the bottle neck is well illuminated so that you can monitor well whether the outflowing wine is clear yet whether or custodian against the ^ bottles rule mouth moved back. However, the use of a burning candle is not always practical and especially when pouring the wine into the glasses, the use of a burning candle is usually so annoying that it is not necessary to use one, so that there is always the risk that not only clear wine but also depot will be served from the bottle.

Mit dem erfindungsgemässen Dekantierkorb kann nun auf die Verwendung eines Kerzenlichts verzichtet und trotzdem die Reinheit des im Flaschenhals fliessenden Weines überwacht werden. Dieser Dekantierkorb ist nämlich dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass er eine Halterung für eine elektrische Batterie und in dem für die Aufnahme des Flaschenhalses dienenden Bereich eine über einen Schalter mit der Batteriehalterung verbundene, elektrische Lichtquelle zum Durchleuchten des Fla¬ schenhalses von unten nach oben aufweist, wobei der Schalter vorzugsweise ein an der Unterseite so ange¬ ordneten Ausschalter ist, dass er bei stehendem Korb die Leitung unterbricht, und wobei die Lichtquelle vorzugs- weise eine Glühlampe aufweist.With the decanting basket according to the invention, the use of candle light can now be dispensed with and the purity of the wine flowing in the bottle neck can still be monitored. This decanting basket is namely characterized in that it has a holder for an electric battery and in the area serving to hold the bottle neck an electrical light source connected to the battery holder via a switch for illuminating the bottle neck from bottom to top, the The switch is preferably an off switch arranged on the underside such that it interrupts the line when the basket is at a standstill, and the light source preferably has an incandescent lamp.

Kurze Beschreibung der ZeichnungBrief description of the drawing

Nachfolgend wird anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung beschrieben. Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt einen Dekantierkorb, wobei einzelne Teile weggebrochen oder weggeschnitten sind.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawing. The only figure in the drawing shows a decanting basket, with individual parts broken away or cut away.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsform der ErfindungPreferred embodiment of the invention

Der Korb als ganzes, der aus beliebigem Material, wie z.B. aus Weidengeflecht, Bast, Kunststoff, Holz, aber auch aus Metall bestehen kann, ist hier mit 1, die in ihm untergebrachte Flasche ist mit 2 bezeichnet. Der Korb weist einen Bereich la auf, in welchem sich bei richtig eingelegter Flasche 2 der Flaschenhals 2a befindet. Zur Sicherung der Flasche gegen ein He¬ rausrutschen beim Ausgiessen dient die Kette Ib. Im Bereich la ist nun eine Lampenfassung 3 mit einer als 5 elektrische Lichtquelle dienenden, elektrischen Glüh¬ lampe 4 angebracht, die durch eine Leitung 5 mit der hier im Fuss lc des Korbes 1 untergebrachten Halterung 6 für die elektrische Batterie 7 verbunden ist. Zur Unterbrechung der Leitung 5 dient ein hier ebenfalls imThe basket as a whole, which can consist of any material, such as wicker, bast, plastic, wood, but also of metal, is here with 1, the bottle accommodated in it is designated with 2. The basket has an area 1 a in which correctly inserted bottle 2 the bottle neck 2a is located. The chain Ib serves to secure the bottle against slipping out during pouring. A lamp socket 3 with an electric incandescent lamp 4 serving as a 5 electric light source is now attached in the area 1a and is connected by a line 5 to the holder 6 for the electric battery 7 accommodated here in the foot 1c of the basket 1. To interrupt the line 5 is also used here

10 Fuss lc des Korbes 1 untergebrachter Ausschalter 8.10 feet lc of basket 1 housed switch 8.

Dieser ist so angeordnet, dass er nur bei stehendem Korb 1 die Leitung 5 unterbricht, während dann, wenn der Korb von der hier mit 9 bezeichneten Unterlage, bei der es sich beispielsweise um eine Tischplatte handeln kann,This is arranged in such a way that it only interrupts the line 5 when the basket 1 is at a standstill, while when the basket is removed from the base designated 9 here, which can be, for example, a table top,

15 abgehoben wird, die Lampe 4 mit der Batterie 7 verbunden ist.15 is lifted off, the lamp 4 is connected to the battery 7.

Es ist natürlich möglich, den Schalter auch anderswo anzuordnen, beispielsweise so, dass er sich 20 bequem von Hand be'dienen lässt. Je nach der Konstruktion des Korbes kann die Batteriehalterung auch anderswo untergebracht sein, beispielsweise im Korb unterhalb der Flasche.Can of course it is possible also to arrange the switch elsewhere, for example, so that it easily be a 20 hand-serve '. Depending on the design of the basket, the battery holder can also be located elsewhere, for example in the basket below the bottle.

25 Beim vorstehend beschriebenen Beispiel brennt die Lampe 4 nicht, solange der Korb auf einer Unterlage steht. Die Beleuchtung des Flaschenhalses 2a wird nur dann und zwar dadurch eingeschaltet, dass der Korb von seiner Unterlage zum Ausgiessen von Wein abgehoben wird. 30 Dadurch ist die Beleuchtungsdauer verhältnis ässig kurz, der Stromverbrauch also klein und die Verwendungsdauer '*? der Batterie sehr lang. All die Nachteile, die mit der25 In the example described above, the lamp 4 does not burn as long as the basket is on a surface. The illumination of the bottle neck 2a is only switched on by lifting the basket from its base for pouring wine. 30 As a result, the lighting duration is relatively short, so the power consumption is small and the usage time ' *? the battery is very long. All the disadvantages with the

Verwendung einer Kerze verbunden sind, wie Anzünden, Auslöschen, Hitzeentwicklung, Schwärzung des Fla- 35 schenhalses, Gefahr, irgend etwas anzuzünden oder doch zu versengen, und die Schwierigkeit, das Licht immer in die richtige Lage zum zu überwachenden Teil des Flaschenhalses halten zu müssen, bestehen nicht, sodass die Verwendung des erfindungsgemässen Dekantierkorbes nicht nur für Ungeübte sondern auch für im Umgang mit Dekantierkörben erfahrene Weinfreunde wesentliche Vorteile beim Einschenken ergibt. Associated with the use of a candle, such as lighting, extinguishing, heat, blackening of the bottle neck, risk of lighting something or scorching something, and the difficulty of always keeping the light in There is no need to keep the correct position in relation to the part of the bottle neck to be monitored, so that the use of the decanting basket according to the invention not only gives inexperienced people but also experienced wine friends experienced in handling decanting baskets significant advantages when pouring out.
