Abstract
An apparatus for repressurizing a partially emptied carbonated beverage bottle, comprises a stationary pumping station mountable against a wall or under a kitchen cabinet, and a set of bottle caps adapted for use on the pumping station. The station includes a pump operated by pushing a movable front panel section, a filling slot equipped with a air-supplying cannula, and a slot for holding the set of caps. Each cap has a resiliently self-sealing opening designed to be penetrated by the cannula when the bottle is inserted into the filling slot, and a pouring orifice closed by a thumb-activated and spring-biased stopper.
