Abstract
The carbonation device includes a cap system selectively mounted to the mouth of a liquid container. The cap system includes a cap, a syringe piston reciprocable within the cap, an actuating mechanism for reciprocating the syringe piston, and a reaction vessel selectively attached to the bottom of the cap. The syringe piston includes a storage area to be filled with reactant liquid (water) by repeated activation of the actuating mechanism. The water from the charged syringe piston discharges into the reaction vessel that has been filled with a preselected amount of reactants to initiate the carbonation reaction. In various embodiments, the carbonation device includes a rotatable control ring to selectively puncture a COcartridge inside the reaction vessel or introduce water into the reaction vessel to initiate carbonation reaction. In various embodiments, the COflows from the reaction vessel into the container to carbonate the liquid or beverage contained therein.
