Definitions
- Patent Descriptive Report of the Invention "ADVERTISING DEVICE FOR BEVERAGES WITH BUBBLING LUMINOUS ANIMATION".
- the present disclosure refers to an advertisement device for beverages whose purpose is to stimulate the consumption of such products by means of the constant or intermittent illumination and bubbling of the liquid contained within a container, through the formation of clouds of micro bubbles and a superficial layer of froth.
- the sales of mass consumption products such as beer, colas and drinks relies on the use of efficient media of advertisement in the points of sale. This is the result of the great variety of brands and products available in the market and of the fierce competition between them all.
- the present invention is based in a novel concept of merchandising such products by means of an unusual motion effect intended to call the attention of the potential consumer. It consists of a medium of advertisement that stimulates the sales and the consumption of beverages by inducing the desire for them as the result of the vision of the liquid in motion and the formation of a layer of foam at the surface and the condensation of humid ity in the exterior, just as happens during actual conditions.
- the present advertisement device consists of a cup, a bottle or a flask which is mounted inside a panel molded in with the shape of the desired container, which is illuminated from behind and filled with a liquid that imitates the desired beverage (beer, cola, or such).
- the liquid is "brought to life" - that is, caused to bubble as in its state during actual consumption - in order to cause an irresistible desire to drink in the prospective consumer.
- the device in question is a closed circuit of an inert gas
- the said circuit encloses a certain amount of liquid usually consisting of an alcoholic solution colored like the product to be advertised.
- the gas is driven - in the intermittent cycles dictated by a timer that turns the compressor on and off - up to the surface of the liquid , which is contained in a container such as a glass, a bottle or a flask attached to the panel or molded on it
- a timer that turns the compressor on and off - up to the surface of the liquid
- Micro-bubbles are formed inside the liquid by means of a bubblier in the end of the tube that leads the gas to the bottom of the container
- the micro bubbles rise and bubble to the surface and form a new layer of foam at each cycle, but never exceed a predetermined level
- the bubbles burst and release the gas which is recaptured by means of a catching tube placed near the surface of the liquid and is led to a cyclone separator that separates the gas from the liquid In this way the gas is returned to the compressor in dried condition, whereas the sprayed liquid is returned to the container.
- the dry gas is impelled back into the liquid after passing through the check valve that prevents the return of the liquid when the compressor is turned off at the end of a cycle
- An inert gas such as nitrogen (N 2 ) is used in the circuit, so as to allow a long useful life for the device
- the liquid consists of an alcoholic solution colored with the color of the product to be advertised and which allow the formation of micro- bubbles in a proportion and size similar to the one desired
- Figure 1 is a front view of the invention consisting of a panel of a translucent material exhibiting a glass of beer molded to its surface
- Figure 2 is a side view displaying the constructive details of the gas circuit and its components
- Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing the details of the circuit and its components, as well as the way in which they act inside the container of the liquid
- the present invention in the embodiment illustrated in the figures in question, consists of an advertisement device composed of a container such as a glass, cup, bottle or flask of transparent material (1 ) which is integrally molded to a panel of translucent material (2) or, yet, attached to it by means of clamps (3) and a fixation ring (4)
- Said container (1 ) contains a certain amount of an alcoholic solution artificially colored in the color of the advertised product, and has a lid (5) and tubes (6, 7 and 8) , said tubes being, one of them (6) for admitting the inert gas (nitrogen) into the liquid , the second (7) for the capture of the released gas from the bubbles and the third (8) for returning the sprayed liquid dragged by the gas back to the surface of the liquid .
- Said tubes (6; 7 and 8) form a closed circuit for the gas which is impelled by means of a compressor (9) into a bubblier ( 10) attached to the lower extremity after passing through a check valve (1 1 ) that prevents the counter-current of the liquid when the device is turned off.
- the micro-bubbles form and rise to the surface of the liquid, where they burst open.
- These micro- bubbles form a layer of froth and then liberate the enclosed gas that is recaptured by the intended tube (7) at a rate dependent of the speed of compression dictated by the compressor (9).
- the liberated gas is admitted into a cyclone separator (1 3) that separates the gas form the liquid dragged by it from the surface of the liquid.
- Said cyclone separator returns the collected liquid back to the container by means of a tube (8), whereas the dry gas is returned to the compressor (9), closing the circuit.
- a new cycle is started every time the timer (14) turns the compressor (9) on and off.
- the panel is back-lit by a back-lighting device (15) and a set of intermittent lights (16) which flash in order to enhance the effect of bubbling of the micro-bubbles (12) which condense at the surface of the liquid, where they form a layer of froth ( 17) which imitate their natural formation , but are prevented from build ing up too much, in order to attract the attention of the watcher.
- adhesives (18) printed with the brand of the product and which must be adequate to the desired visual effect and to the particular product, in order to stimulate its consumption.
