1 30~079 DISPOSABLE SYRUP PACKAGE HAVING INTEGRAL
DISPOSABLE VALVE ASSEMBLY
~ BA~G~QU~I~ OF I~E T~E~TTQ~
; The present invention relates to a disposable syrup package for use in a post-mix beverage dispensing system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a disposable syrup package having an integral dispensing valve assembly disposed in a discharge end of the package.
An examplary disposable syrup package of the prior art is disclosed in U.S, Patent 4,216,885 to Sedam, issued August 12, 1980 and assigned to the -same assignee as the present invention. The disposablé syrup package of Sedam is designed for use with a separate valve assembly included within the post-mix dispensing apparatus. The valve .,, ..,, .. , , - .
. ~ .
1 30~079 assemblv has a piercing device which ruptures a frangible membrane in the discharge end of the syrup package as the syrup package is plugged into a socket associated with the valve assembly.
Although the Sedam syrup package and associated valve assembly work quite well, it would be desirable to provide a less expensive valve assembly integrally formed with the syrup package and eliminate the frangible membrane and protective cap which is now part of the Sedam disposable syrup package.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of an aspect o~ the present invention to provide a disposable syrup package including a disposable integral valve assembly associated with the discharge end of the syrup package.
It is an object of an aspect of the present invention to provide a valve assembly associated with the discharge end of the syrup package having a minimum number of moving parts to achieve high reliability and maintain the cost of the package within reasonable limits.
The objects of the present invention are fulfilled by providing, in a post~mix beverage dispensing system, an apparatu~ for dispensing syrup through an opening in a discharge wall of a disposable container, having the improvement comprising:
plate means disposed adjacent to and mounted for reciprocating movement in a slot formed in the discharge wall of the container and intersecting said discharge opening, said plate means having an open position for accommodating the flow of liquid from the container and a closed position for blocking the flow of liquid from said container;
spring means for normally biasing said plate means to said closed position; and said plate means being movable in a plane parallel to a plane defined by said discharge wall, said plate means including aperture means alignable with the opening in the discharge wall in the open position of the plate means and an angled actuation end operatively associated with a stationary cam surface adjacent the discharge wall of said container, said actuation end being depressed against said spring means by said cam surface in response of rotation of said plate means about a longitudinal axis of said container.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from a detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications with the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.

D~TAILED DES~ ?Io~ OF PREF~RRED ~M~QDIME~
Referring to Figures 1, 2A and 2B, there is generally illustrated a syrup package 10 having a flow rate control tube 12 which is normally closed to the atmosphere by a removable cap 14. The operation of the syrup package 10 including the flow rate control tube 12 is generally described and is similar to the operation of the syrup package disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Patent 4,216,885 to Sedam. However, the syrup package in Figure 1 is also provided with an integral valve assembly generally designated 16 associated with the discharge neck 18 of the container and the discharge wall 21.
The end wall 21 of container 10 is closed by an adaptor block forming an elongated neck portion 18. A discharge opening or bore 26 extends through the adaptor block. A slot 34 is also formed in the block transversely of the discharge bore 26 for accommodating a movable actuator plate 22.
Actuator plate 22 is provided with a discharge aperture 22A, and is spring biased by a coil spring 24 to a normally-closed position illustrated in Figures 1 and 2A. Bore 26 has a relieved portion in which a pair of O-rings 28 may be provided to 1 }0807q seal bore 26 when actuator plate 22 is in the closed position, and to prevent leakage around aperture 22A in the open position.
Actuator plate 22 is also provided with an angular end 22B operatively associated with a stationary slot 32 formed in a stationary portion 30 of the post-mix beverage dispenser, into which the syrup package 10 is to be inserted. Neck 18 is provided with an actuation tab 18T which may be operatively associated with a rotating ring (not shown) of the dispenser, or may facilitata manual rotation of the container 10 and neck 18 between the two respective positions illustrated in Figures 2A and 2B.
It can be seen from reference to Figures 2A
and 2B tbat when container 10 and neck 18are rotated by means of the actuation tab 18T, plate 2~ rotates with respect to the stationary support 30 and slot 32 therein, and the angular end 22B is engaged and depressed by support 30 to reciprocate plate 22 until aperture 22A is in alignment with discharge bore 26. In this position, syrup or other liquid is fre`e to flow through discharge bore 26 and aperture 22A into the post-mix beverage dispenser.
~ 30807q Referring now to Figures 3 and 4, there is illustrated a second embodiment of an integral valve assembly of the present invention. In the embodiment of Figures 3 and 4, the discharge end wall 21 is provided with a pin 39 which forms an axis about which a plate 40 may be rotated between open and closed positions with respect to an orifice 34 in wall 21. A suitable seal 34A ma~ be provided around the orifice 34. Rotatable plate 40 is provided with an arcuate slot 40A which is movable between a closed position (see Fig. 4) and an open position in which slot 40A lines up with orifice 34. Rotation of plate 40 may be achieved by arotatable slotted ring 36 having a slot 38 which is operatively associated with an actuation tab 40B of plate 40. A tab l9 is provided on neck 18 and cooperates with a stationary slot, such as 32, in a stationary support 30 of the type illustrated in Figs. 2A and 2B.
To dispense syrup from container lO in the embodiment of Figures 3 and 4~ either the actuation ring 36 rotates to engage actuationtab 40B which -; rotates slot 40A into alignment with orifice 3~, or tab 40B can be manually engaged to rotate plate 40.
'' '' :
, . ; .:
Since the container is held stationary by tab 19, the rotation of plate 40 causes the opening or closing of orifice 34.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways.
Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
