~6 Device ~or cleaning and emptying heverage liquid lines in di~;pensiny installation~

The invention relates to a device ~or cleaning and emptying beverage liquid lines in dispensing installatlons in a di~penser head which can be placed on the beverage barrel and wh.ich compri6~s a dispenser head housing havi~ a kapping tube, an actuating mechanism and a lateral conneatlon ~or the supply o~
carbon dioxide gas.
DE-OS 39 42 78~ describes a device for clsaning ~nd emptying liquid lines, in particular beverage lines in dispensing installations, having a slide or rotary slide valve, in which the valve slide is movable in a cutout oP a valve housing in ~uch a way that at least one transverse bore in the valve ~lide can be brought into connection with a connectin~ branch ~or the inflow o~ the bevarage, and having a cylindrical ma~azine ~or elas~ic, spherical claaning bodies and a connecting branch ~or the water supply, which is characterized in that there are arranged directly at the upper side of the valve slide, which can be actuated by a suitable drive apparatus, above a respective correæponding bore therein, the cylindrical maga2ine ~or ~ha elastic, spherical cleaning bodiPs and th~ connectlng branch leading to a flexible beverage line to the bar, the threaded connection for the cleaning water supply and the connection ~or the beverage supply in the lower part of the valve housing having the same spacing fro~ one another as the two bores in the valve slide in ~uch a way that in one end position o~ the slide in the operating state the two bores are brought into congruence with the two connecting branches ln the lower part of the valve housing, and in the cle~ning or emptying state the connection for the beverage aupply is closad and the beverage line leading ~o ?45 the bar is connected to the threaded connection for the cleaning water supply.
The previously known cleaning device produces the substantial advantage that a substantially faster cleaning and emptying procedure can be carried out in the beverage line leading to the bar. The previou~ly known device could, as a result of its conskruction, be placed directly on a beverage container, for example a beer barrel.
It is now the object o~ the present invention to provide a cleaning device of the type mentioned at the outset which is directly integrated in the dispenser head which can be placed on the beverage barrel, the connection to the carbon dioxide gas source also being ensured.
To achieve the stated objec~, a device in accordance with the characterizing part o~ Claim 1 is proposed.
This device makes it possible to have the cleaning procedur~
begin directly at barrel tapping, on barrel ~apping the beverage line being automatically closed, the water connection to the beverage line being free and the beer line b~ing filled with water. On changing the beverage barrel, the water is drawn off, the dispenser head is removed from the barrel fitting, the carbon dioxide line is closed and cleaning of the dispenser head and barrel fittings can be carried out.
The sub-claims describe substantial improvements to the device according to the invention.
The device according to t~e invention will be explained in more detail in various positions with reference to the drawings, using the example of the preferred em~odiment.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 shows a section, in principle, through an embodiment of the device according to the invention, in the serving position.
Fig. 2 shows the device according to Fig. 1, in the baxrel-changing position, and Fig. 3 shows a rearward side view o~ Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 shows a device according to the invention, in the cleaning position.

2~3~
187~6 Fig. 5 shows a rear view of Fig. ~.
As can be seen fro~ Figs. 1 to 5, there is arranged in the interior of a dispenser head housing 1 a dispenser head seal 2 which bears in sealing manner on the upper flange of the barrel part 3. In the interior of the dispenser head housin~ there is a tapping tube 4 which can be ~oved by means of the actuating lever 5 and an actuating mechanism (not illustrated in more detail).
To the side of the dispenser head housing 1 there is a connecting branch 6 ~or carbon dioxide gas.' In the interior of the tapping tube 4 of th~ dispenser head 1 there is a longitudinally displaceable tube 7 serving as a riser pipe connection. Provided in the region o~ the upper end of the tube 7 is a broadened chamber 8 in which there is insert~d longitudinally displaceably a tubular connection piece 9 ~or the beer line connection. In the region of the upper end of khe tube 7 there is further arranged a laterally projecting attachment piece 10 which has a bore 11 which reaches into the broadensd cha~ber 8. This hore serves to supply a foam rubber sphere 12 which is brought in from a magazine 13. For this purpose, there is provided a plunger 14 which is arranged in the interior of a housing 15 which can be pushed in sliding manner onto the attachment piece 10. The attach~ent piece 10 furthermore has two borss 16 and 17 running perpendicular to the bore 11, for the entry of a further foam rubber sphere 12 and for carbon dioxide evacuation. The plunger 14 axranged in the interior o~ the housing 15 ~urther has a longitudinal, bent-off bore 1& whereof the rear exit opening 19 is connected by way of a line 20 to the carbon dioxide connection 6 of the dispenser h~ad 1.
Provided on the upper side of the displaceable housing 15 is the magaz~ne 13 for the foam rubber spheres 12. To the side of the housing 15 there is the connection 21 which is connected to the carbon dioxide flask and which, in the serving position, corresponds exactly to the bent-off part of the bore 18. The carbon dioxide can thus be supplied throug~ the line 21, the ~ore 2B, the rear exit opening 19, through the hos~ 20 to the connectinq branch 6.

187~6 2 ~ 7 ~

The housing 15 can be moved in ~lidinq manner on the attachment piece 10 by means of a lever 23 mounted at 22. By means of a slide rail 23a and a suide 23b which is arranged at the upper end of the tubular piece 9, the latter can be moved upwards. The curvature 24 on the housing 15 serves to ~orcibly raise the riser pipe 7.
In the lower region of the tube 7, it is illustrated with a tapered cross-section, so that an intermediate chambsr 25 is produced between this tube and the riser pipe 4 o the dispenser head 1. The water connection 25a, which conveys the water into the interior of the riser pipe 7 during cleaning, opens into the intermediate chamber 25.
In the serving poæition illustrated in Fig. 1, the tube 7 is moved downwards to such an extent that the beverage coming from the barrel l can rise in the interior by way o~ the entry openings 26, the carbon dioxi.de which is mixed in with the beverage being in the intermediate chamber 21 by way of the connection 6. The beverage can then be drawn o~ at the dispensing pump. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the lowes~
foam rubber sphere 12 is in the ready position in front of the plunger 14.
In the position shown in Fig. 2, the inner tube 7 is moved upwards to such an extent that the lower opening 27 is closed, so that the device is in the baxrel-changing position. Fig. 3 shows the rear view o~ this position, from which the position of the rail 23a and tha guide 23b can be seen. The tube 9 has not yet been raised.
Fig. 4 illustrates the cleaning position of the device according to the invention. The lower opening 27 remains closed, while the tubulax piece 9 leading to the beer line connection is raised by the rail 23a and the guide 23b, so that the chamber 8 is released at the lower side. At the same time, the housing 15 is moved co~pletely onto the attachment piece lO by the lever 23 being brought into the vertical position. This extends the plunger 14 to such an extent that the foam rubber sphere 12 is in the chamber 8. At the same time, the carbon dioxide supply by way of the connection 21 is interrupted, and the magazine 13 ' 18746 c~ 8 6 is aboVe the bore 16, as a result of which the next foam rubber sphere can ~all into this bore.
As has already been described abovs, the water is conveyed from the chamber 25 into the interiox of the riser pipe 7. ~hus, the foam rubber sphere is conveyed through the tubular piece ~
into the beverage line syskem together with the water, and can be removed at the dispensing pump, as a result o~ which the beer line system is cleaned. When cleaning is carried out, the lever ~3 can be lowered aqain, as a result o~ which the entire device can be brought back into the serv:ing position.
~ he position shown in Fig. 4 is also shown in the rear view in accordance with Fig. ~.
