Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispensing device, in particular for a beer keg, according to the preamble of claims 1 and 13 respectively.
  • DE 195 40 542 A1 discloses a beer keg with an integrated dispensing device which is arranged in the outer surface of the beer keg in the lower region of the keg.
  • the dispensing device essentially consists of a hollow cylindrical outer part and a hollow cylindrical inner part which is axially displaceable in the outer part, the outer part protruding through an opening in the outer surface of the beer barrel into the beer barrel and being firmly connected to the wall of the beer barrel at the peripheral edges of the hole to seal the hole.
  • the hollow cylindrical outer part of the dispensing device has an opening in its outer surface through which beer can enter the interior of the outer part.
  • the inner part which is also hollow cylindrical, on the other hand, has an outlet opening at its outer end in the area of the lateral surface through which beer can be tapped, the inner end face of the hollow cylindrical inner part being free to allow beer to enter the inner part from the hollow cylindrical outer part ,
  • the inner part is completely pushed into the outer part.
  • the dispensing device closes on its outside almost flush with the outer surface of the beer keg, so that damage to the dispensing device during transport is largely excluded.
  • the opening in the outer surface of the hollow cylindrical outer part is covered in this state by the outer surface of the hollow cylindrical inner part, so that no beer can escape from the keg.
  • the hollow cylindrical inner part is then pulled out axially by means of a handle formed on the outer end face of the inner part, until the two openings in the lateral surfaces of the inner part and outer part lie on top of one another.
  • the beer flows through the opening in the outer surface of the outer part, then through the open inner end face of the inner part and is then discharged through the outlet opening in the outer surface of the inner part.
  • the known beer keg described above with the integrated dispensing device enables an immediate dispensing start without a previous manual installation, but a disadvantage of the known dispensing device is that the inner part and the outer part form an interference fit in order to achieve a sufficient sealing effect, as a result of which the axial displacement of the inner part is only possible with a relatively large amount of force. Particularly in the case of a largely empty and correspondingly light beer keg, this can lead to the beer keg tipping over or making it necessary to hold the beer keg in place.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a dispensing device of the type described above, in which the stability of the liquid container is not endangered even in the largely empty state.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a tap with better handling.
  • the problem is solved - starting from the known dispensing device according to the preamble of claim 1 - by the characterizing features of claim 1 or - in terms of better handling - by the features of claim 13.
  • the invention includes the technical teaching of designing the dispensing device essentially in three parts by inserting a valve into the hollow cylindrical inner part which is movable relative to the inner part and releases or closes the outlet opening in the inner part depending on the valve position for dispensing liquid.
  • the valve is designed as a rotary valve, the axis of rotation of the rotary valve preferably running essentially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the inner part and a pivotable valve being provided for manual actuation of the rotary valve. It is advantageous to design the tap or the inner part so that it fits into the outer contour of the inner part so that the inner part can be inserted into the outer part without dismantling the tap.
  • the rotary valve consists of a hollow cylindrical sleeve which is arranged axially rotatable in the inner part.
  • Both the inner part and the sleeve have at their outer end in the lateral surface each have an opening, wherein the openings in the sleeve and inner part can be made more or less coincident by rotating the sleeve about its longitudinal axis in order to control the flow of liquid.
  • the liquid flow is at a maximum when the two openings in the sleeve and the inner part lie completely one above the other, whereas no liquid is dispensed if the two openings in the sleeve and inner part do not overlap. It is advantageous over the known arrangement described at the outset that the inner part is not rotated, so that the outlet opening located in the outer surface of the inner part always points downward, which considerably facilitates handling when tapping.
  • the valve has a piston which is arranged to be axially displaceable in the inner part in order to control the delivery of liquid.
  • the piston is preferably designed as a hollow cylindrical sleeve which has an opening in its outer surface which can be brought into alignment with the outlet opening into the inner part by axial displacement of the piston, whereupon liquid is dispensed.
  • the liquid thus enters the hollow cylindrical inner part through the hollow cylindrical outer part and then into the piston, in order then to be dispensed through the opening in the outer surface of the piston and the outlet opening in the outer surface of the inner part.
  • the piston is preloaded in the hollow cylindrical inner part by a spring which ensures that the opening in the outer surface of the piston does not lie in register with the outlet opening in the hollow cylindrical inner part without external influences, so that no liquid is dispensed when the piston is at rest , To dispense liquid, the piston must be axially displaced against the spring force until the two openings are aligned.
  • the inner part can have laterally projecting grips at its outer end.
  • This also enables one-handed operation of the piston.
  • the user reaches with his index and middle fingers behind the grips and presses the piston axially into the hollow cylindrical inner part with his thumb until the two openings in the piston and inner part lie one above the other and liquid is dispensed accordingly.
  • the dispensing device is only constructed in two parts with a hollow cylindrical outer part and a hollow cylindrical inner part, wherein the hollow cylindrical inner part can be rotated about its longitudinal axis in order to more or less overlap corresponding openings in the lateral surfaces of the inner part and the outer part and thus to control the liquid flow.
  • the openings in the outer part and inner part each have a special shape, in order to enable sensitive metering of the liquid flow when twisted.
  • At least one of the two openings in the outer part and inner part has a width that decreases in the direction of the respective other opening in order to achieve a uniform increase in the liquid flow when opening, since the liquid flow depends on the size of the opening areas lying one above the other in cover.
  • the openings can be triangular, the tips of the triangles each facing the other opening.
  • At least one seal can be arranged between the inner part and the outer part. It is advantageous if the at least one seal is formed in the area of the flow opening of the outer part.
  • a sealing ring may be arranged in front of and / or behind the respective flow opening around the inner part. This prevents liquid from entering the gap between the inner part and the outer part and being able to reach the valve through the flow opening, in particular when the sealing rings are fixed in an annular groove in the outer part in front of and behind the flow opening of the outer part.
  • the seal is designed as a sleeve surrounding the flow opening in the wall of the outer part, which has a sealing bead along the outer circumference of the flow opening in the gap between the inner and the outer part.
  • the sealing bead may be designed as a sealing surface in the direction of the interior of the barrel, the opening for the flow in the outer tube advantageously being designed as an elongated hole in which the sealing bead is injected.
  • the sealing material has the actual flow opening through the outer part. It makes sense that the areal expansion is slightly more than the clear width of the flow opening of the inner part. This ensures that even with partial or beginning overlap of the respective Flow openings a seal against the intermediate gap between the inner and outer part is guaranteed.
  • the seal advantageously consists of elastic, sprayable material. It can be particularly favorable that the seal for the flow opening in the outer part is formed in one piece with the end seal between the tapper and the barrel, the end seal being molded onto the outer part.
  • means are provided for releasably fixing the inner part in the operating position, i.e. in the position in which the flow openings of the inner and outer parts are substantially aligned.
  • the limiting means can advantageously be designed as a means for releasable fixing. It is advantageous here if a latching recess is formed on the inner part, in which a resilient latching lug arranged on the outer part releasably engages.
  • a latching recess is formed on the inner part, in which a resilient latching lug arranged on the outer part releasably engages.
  • the locking lug is advantageously formed on a resilient element which is integrally formed on the outer part.
  • the resilient element can be pushed into the operating position under pressure of the rubber seal surrounding the outer part, so that the spring force arises both from the material from which the resilient element is made and from the flexibility of the sealing material.
  • the dispensing device according to the invention is not limited to use in beer kegs, but can also be used with other liquid containers.
  • the only decisive factor is that the dispensing device is pre-assembled in the wall of the liquid container, so that liquid can be drawn off without prior installation work.
  • outer part and the inner part do not necessarily have to be cylindrical.
  • these components can also have a rectangular cross section or be triangular, which also prevents the inner part from twisting in the outer part.
  • the tap shown in Fig. 1a and 1b is integrated into the wall 1 of a 5-liter beer keg and thus enables an immediate tap of beer without complicated installation work, which is particularly important in this keg size intended almost exclusively for private use.
  • a circular opening with a diameter of 2 cm is provided in the wall 1 of the beer keg in the lower region 3 cm above the keg bottom, the wall 1 being arched inward in the region of the peripheral edges of the hole to form a trough for to form the protruding parts of the dispenser and to prevent their damage during transport or storage.
  • a hollow cylindrical outer part 2 made of plastic is pressed into this opening, which protrudes with a length of approx.
  • a sealing element 3 is arranged between the outer part 2 and the peripheral edge of the opening in the wall 1, which prevents beer from escaping through the annular gap between the outer part 2 and the wall 1 and is connected to the outer part 2 by a tongue and groove combination. At its inner end, the sealing element 3 tapers conically to enable insertion into the opening.
  • the outer part 2 has a continuous hollow channel 4 with a constant cylindrical cross-section over the entire length of the outer part 2, so that the hollow channel 4 forms a sliding bush.
  • the dispensing device has an inner part 5 with a cylindrical outer cross section, which forms a transition fit with the hollow channel 4 in the outer part 2 and can be axially displaced in the outer part 2 with a corresponding effort.
  • the inner part 5 - as shown in FIG. 1b - is pushed completely into the outer part 2, so that the dispensing device is almost flush with the wall 1 of the beer keg, thereby largely preventing damage to the dispensing device during transport or storage becomes.
  • an axially extending spring 6 is formed on the outer surface of the inner part 5, which engages in a likewise axially extending groove 7 in the inner surface of the outer part 2 and thereby prevent the inner part 5 from twisting in the outer part 2 ,
  • the tongue and groove combination prevents the inner part 5 from being pulled out completely from the outer part 2, since the groove 7 in the outer part 2 does not extend to the front end of the outer part 2, so that the spring 6 is in a certain axial position of the Inner part 5 strikes at the end of the groove 7 and prevents further pulling out of the inner part 5. This is important because if the inner part 5 were completely pulled out of the outer part 2 when the beer keg was filled, the beer would emerge unhindered from the beer keg through the hollow channel 4.
  • the inner part 5 has, on its outer surface, circular locking projections 6 'which, in the tapping position of the inner part 5 shown in FIG. 1 a, engage in corresponding recesses in the inner surface of the outer part 2.
  • these locking projections prevent the inner part 5 from being inadvertently pushed in during the dispensing process.
  • the user feels the latching projections snap into place, which signals that the tap position has been reached.
  • the inner part 5 has a continuous hollow channel 8, which opens at the inner end of the inner part 5 in the end face of the inner part 5 and at the outer end of the inner part 5 in a vertical cylindrical bore into which a rotary valve 9 is inserted, which via a tap 10 can be rotated.
  • the tap 10 is turned parallel to the inner part 5 outwards, whereupon beer from the barrel interior into the hollow channel 4 of the outer part 2 and then enters the hollow channel 8 in the inner part 5 in order to finally be discharged through a hollow channel located in the rotary valve 9.
  • valve 10 can be folded completely onto the inner part 5, so that the inner part 5 can be folded together with the attached inner part 5, so that the inner part 5 together with the folded valve 10 into the outer part 2 can be inserted. It is therefore not necessary to first install the tap before the tap, since it forms an integral part of the tap.
  • the tapping process is also carried out in a conventional manner by rotating the tap 10 and not - as in the known beer keg described at the beginning with an integrated dispensing device - by a relatively unnatural sliding movement.
  • annular handle 12 is formed on the outer end face of the inner part 5, in which the user can engage with the index finger.
  • Fig. 1c shows an enlarged view of the tap 10, from which it can be seen that a circumferential locking projection 13 is arranged on the outer surface of the tap 10, which engages in corresponding recesses in the inner part 5 and thereby axially fixes the tap 10.
  • FIG. 1d shows a further exemplary embodiment of a dispensing device according to the invention, which largely corresponds to the dispensing device described above and shown in FIGS. 1a to 1c.
  • a foldable handle 14 is provided for pulling the inner part 5 out of the outer part 2, which handle is molded onto the outer end face of the inner part 5.
  • the user first reaches behind the handle 14 and folds it down, in order then to insert the index finger into the handle opening.
  • the lower arms 15 of the handle 14 are pressed inwards against the outer part 2 when they are folded down, thereby pulling the inner part 5 out a little.
  • the outer part 2 is closed at its barrel end. The beer flows through the opening 8 ′ into the hollow channel 4 of the outer part 2 and from there into the channel 8 of the inner part 5.
  • the dispensing device has an outer part 2, which has already been described in detail above, so that reference is made in this regard to the description of the preceding figures.
  • a substantially hollow cylindrical inner part 16 is arranged, which is axially displaceable between a transport position and a dispensing position, the dispensing device in the transport position being almost flush with the wall 1 of the beer barrel, causing damage to the dispensing device during transport or storage of the Beer keg is largely prevented.
  • the beer flow is controlled here by a piston 17 which is arranged axially displaceably in a hollow channel in the inner part 16.
  • a spring is in turn formed on the outer surface of the piston 17 and engages in a corresponding groove in the inner surface of the inner part 16. On the one hand, this prevents rotation of the piston 17 in the inner part 16.
  • the axial freedom of movement of the piston 17 is fixed in the inner part 16 in this way.
  • the piston 17 is biased by a coil spring 18 which presses the piston 17 axially outward into the rest position shown in Fig. 3, in which no beer is tapped, since the opening in the wall of the piston 17 does not coincide with the Outlet opening is in the outer surface of the inner part 16, but is sealed by the outer surface of the inner part 16.
  • the piston 17 To dispense beer, the piston 17 must rather be pressed axially into the inner part 16 against the spring tension until the two openings in the wall of the piston 17 and in the outer surface of the inner part 16 lie one above the other so that the beer passes through from the interior of the keg the hollow channel 4 of the outer part 2 and the inner part 16 can exit through the outlet opening in the lateral surface of the inner part 16.
  • the pushing in of the piston 17 into the inner part 16 is in this case facilitated by grip pieces 19a, 19b, the user reaching behind the grip piece 19a with the index finger and behind the grip piece 19b with the middle finger and pushing the piston 17 into the inner part 16 with the thumb.
  • the arrangement shown thus advantageously enables one-handed operation without endangering the stability of the beer keg, which is particularly important in the case of a largely empty beer keg.
  • the molded on the underside of the inner part 19b serves here in addition to the support of the middle finger also for dispensing the beer and for this purpose has a hollow channel 20.
  • the handle 19a formed on the upper side of the inner part 16 also serves to seal the dispensing device.
  • the grip piece 19a has an axially continuous opening, through which a web 21 formed on the face of the outer part 2 protrudes in the transport position of the tap.
  • the web 21 is thermowelded with a sealing plate 22 made of plastic, so that pulling the inner part 16 out of the transport position always leads to the sealing plate 22 being torn off, which is clearly visible on the front of the tap.
  • Fig. 3 shows the course of the groove 7 in the wall of the outer part 2. From this representation it can be seen that the tongue and groove combination forms a bayonet lock, which axially fixes the inner part 16 in the outer part 2 both in the transport position and enabled in the tap position. In the transport position, the spring 6 of the inner part 16 is guided in the transverse groove piece 23 and thereby axially fixed. To pull it out, the inner part 16 must first be rotated about its longitudinal axis until the spring 6 is located in the axially extending groove piece 7. After pulling out, the inner part 16 is fixed in the tap position by rotating the inner part until the spring 6 is located in the transverse groove piece 24.
  • the bayonet lock described above is not limited in its use to the tap device with a piston, but can also be used with the other embodiments of the tap device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 4a shows a variant of a break seal, which enables a sealing of the dispensing device by the manufacturer and breaks when the beer keg is opened for the first time.
  • a web with a rounded, thicker head 25 is formed on the outer end face of the outer part 2.
  • the web with the head 25 is pressed into an opening 26 in the grip piece 19a until the head 25 finally appears in the transport position of the dispensing device on the outer side of the grip piece 19a, to which the User can recognize an unused beer keg.
  • the head 25 is then torn off due to the relatively low mechanical strength of the web.
  • FIG. 4b shows a modification of such a break seal, in which the head 27 is provided with barbs to ensure that the head is really torn off when the inner part is pulled out.
  • the Opening 28 in the handle 19a is not designed as a continuous channel, but as a depression which receives the head 29 in the transport position.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a dispensing device according to the invention with a piston 17 for controlling the delivery of beer.
  • the piston 17 is not biased by a spiral spring, but by spring arms 30 made of plastic, which are formed on the inner end of the inner part 16 and press the piston 17 axially outwards .

  • the tongue and groove combination prevents the inner part 32 from being pulled out completely from the outer part 2.
  • rotation of the inner part 32 in the outer part 2 is prevented. This is important because at the outer end of the inner part 32 there is an outlet opening 33 for the beer, which would rotate when the inner part 32 rotated and would therefore cause problems when tapping.
  • the beer dispensing is controlled by a cylindrical sleeve 34 which is rotatably arranged in the inner part 32, the sleeve being operated by a knurled wheel 35 which is formed on the free end of the sleeve 34.

  • the edges and surfaces of the locking lug 67 as well as the locking recess 66 can be designed in such a way that a clear and noticeable locking is brought about, but that even when a certain pressure is applied, the inner part again moves out of the operating position into the closed or rest position, in which no liquid is drawn, can be used.
  • the embodiment of the invention is not limited to the preferred exemplary embodiments specified above. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable which make use of the solution shown, even in the case of fundamentally different types.
