Primary ExaminerRobert B. Reeves Assistant ExaminerDavid A. Scherbel [5 7] ABSTRACT A pourer for resealing partially consumed bottles of wine includes a fitment for securement across the open neck of the bottle. The fitment includes a lower tubular member disposed interiorly of the neck with a series of radial lips for engaging the internal neck walls for securing the fitment in place and providing sealing zones for preventing leakage of the bottle contents during pouring. A tubular extension projects upwardly from the lower tubular member and includes an outwardly flared lip for dripless pouring. A radial flange intermediate the fitment ends rests on top of the bottle neck to provide another sealing zone against leakage during pouring. A coaxial apron depends downwardly from the flange and engages the outer surfaces of the neck to provide additional sealing and securement of the fitment in place. A screen or filter may be interposed interiorly across the central bore of the fitment to prevent sediment and pieces of cork from being dispensed during pouring. A removable cap is placed over the tubular extension to seal the pouring lip and consequently the bottle contents during storage.

24 is With the advent of larger size bottles, particularly half- 10 gallon and gallon bottles it becomes inevitable that the bottles must be resealed before being completely consumed. Utilizing the removed cork for resealing purposes is not the complete solution because the cork may be partially or completely damaged during initial removal, not to mention the fact that repeated removal of the cork will certainly decrease its longevity. Of course, there is the nuisance factor in having to repeatedly insert and then remove the cork particularly with the aid of a corkscrew or similar implement. Needless to say, a resealable dripless pouring fitment for partially consumed bottles of wine of all sizes would be a significant contribution.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A principal object of this invention is to provide a resealable pouring fitment for bottles of wine that eliminates the aforenoted disadvantages and problems associated with the absence of an effective resealer for partially consumed bottles of wine.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the pouring fitment and cap of this invention associated with oneanother',

FIG. 2 is a similar perspective view with the pouring fitment and cap disassociated',

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The wine bottle resealer includes a

pouring fitment

10 and a cap 12 for association therewith. The

pouring fitment

10 is adapted to extend across and seal with the

open neck

14 of the partially consumed

bottle

16 of wine.

The

pouring fitment

10 includes a lower

tubular member

18 from which extends a series of radial rings or sealing

lips

20 which engage with the internal surfaces of the

bottle neck

14 to secure the fitment in place and provide sealing zones for preventing leakage of the wine during pouring. A

tubular extension

22 extends upwardly from

tubular member

18 and defines an outwardly flared

dripless pouring lip

24. A

radial flange

26 projects outwardly between the ends of the fitment and conveniently rests on the top of the neck of the bottle to provide another sealing zone. A downwardly depending apron 28 at the periphery of the flange en-" gages with the outer surfaces of the bottle neck to provide a further sealing zone and additional securement for the fitment.

. adaptedto engage withthe lower. surfaces of the plate .30 to furthersealthe bottle contents. In order to provide additional securementof the cap 12 on the

fitment

10 particularly when the resealer is used for champagne or similarly gas containing wines projections may be provided on the internal surfaces of the

outer apron

34 to frictionally engage with the outer surfaces of the

pouring lip

24.

In certain applications of the present invention, a screen or

filter

36 may extend across the internal bore of the

fitment

10 to prevent sediment or perhaps pieces of cork from being discharged during the pouring cycle. The screen or

filter

36 may be integrally molded as part of the

fitment

10 or be a separate member that is internally mounted either by adhesive or dimples or projections formed on the interior surfaces of the

fitment

10 between which the screen or filter may be secu'red. This screen or filter can be replaced or used in conjunction with a one-way valve to permit the bottle contents to be poured but prevent any material from being permitted entry into the bottle interior.

Thus the several forenoted objects and advantages are most effectively attained. Although several somewhat preferred embodiments of the invention have been disclosed and described in detail herein it should be understood that this invention is in no sense limited thereby and its scope is to be determined by that of the appended claims.

What is claimed is:
