ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for adding carbon dioxide to consumable liquids contained in a container having an aperture of a selected size and shape is disclosed. The apparatus (10) comprises a housing (16) having a cartridge cavity (46), and a connecting means (20), (76) and (98) for securing the mouth (26) of a liquid container (12) thereto. Attached to the housing (16) is a gas conduit (28) having a first end (30) and a further end (32) which extends to the bottom of the liquid container (12). A gas cartridge (34) containing pressurized CO.sub.2 is received in cartridge cavity (46) in a gas-tight manner. The apparatus includes activating means such as a piercing member (48) for rupturing a frangible seal (54) of the cartridge (34). When the frangible seal (54) of the disposable one shot cartridge (34) is ruptured, the pressurized CO.sub.2 gas passes through the housing (16), down the connecting tube (28) and out end (32) such that the carbon dioxide bubbles (38), (40), (42) and (44) bubble up through the liquid beverage (14) thereby effecting carbonation. Also included in the device are adaptors (76) and (98) which allow containers having various mouths or apertures to be operated with the apparatus of this invention.
