Abstract (en)
Devices are described for fitting into pressurised packaged beverages (typically canned beers, ales and stouts), by which gas at high pressure is stored within the package for jetting into the beverage as the package is opened to atmosphere. One embodiment comprises a moulded plastics capsule (34; 50; 78) secured near the bottom of a can (20; 88) with an internal, preferably central, pipe (56; 62; 80) to provide a liquid seal to prevent loss of gas when the can is inverted from the upright position, and an airlock when the can is upright, to prevent beverage which has entered the capsule from leaving it when the cam is opened to atmosphere. A further design of capsule (96), having a central internal pipe (98) and adapted to be pressurised solely by the ingress of beverage, is fitted midway down a can (94) but still only jets gas upon opening. A method of inserting the capsule is also described.
