Aeration Method

摘要

This invention relates to an aerator that resides fully in the neck of a bottle or other liquid vessel. Through differential pressure, created through a venturi, the aerator mixes air with the fluid contained in the bottle. More specifically, the aerator can be used to mix air with wine as the bottle is inverted thus essentially instantly decanting the wine.

主权项

1. An aeration device for use substantially within the neck of a fluid vessel, which is used for simultaneously egressing liquid from a vessel and mixing air into the liquid comprising:
an aerator having a venturi for reducing the pressure of egressing liquid thereby enabling ingress of higher pressure atmospheric air into said liquid, and at least one vent tube connected to said aerator establishing fluid communication between atmosphere exterior of said vessel and upper interior region of said vessel to enable ingress of atmospheric pressure air when said vessel is in a dispensing orientation, and at least one air passage in said aerator establishing fluid communication between said venturi and atmosphere exterior of said vessel.
