Patent ID: 8479645

Claim:
A carbonation device, comprising: an upper, substantially hollow first body having an elongate, narrow enclosed neck at one end and an opposite, wide open end; a lower, substantially hollow second body having an open end detachably mounted to the first body and an opposite, relatively closed end, the second body being adapted to hold carbonating gas producing reactants therein; a gasket disposed between the first and second bodies to form a seal; an elongate gas distribution tube extending from the relatively closed end of the second body into the neck of the first body, the tube having an inlet at the neck and an outlet at the closed end; and an air stone operatively attached to the outlet; wherein the first and second bodies form an ampoule-shaped capsule insertable into a liquid container, mixing of the reactants with water producing carbonating gas, the gas being forced through the inlet by back pressure to be dispersed through the dispersion tube to thereby carbonate the liquid.
