The supply conduit may be a flexible conduit.
In the case of a tap outlet with integrated compensator (this embodiment may also entail an embodiment not having a compensatory which can possibly be removed from its mounting at the tap valve (mixing faucet, mixing armature) for filling with soda water or refreshment drinks, it is possible to provide a weight, between the tap outlet and the mixing system (static mixer), at the supply conduit, which weight makes it easier for the user of the tap outlet, upon completion of the dispensing operation, to return the tap outlet to its mounting.
In the case of tap valves that have a pivotable tap outlet, the invention contemplates that the rigid connection, between the fitting and the novel second tap outlet, which serves to dispense soda water and refreshment drinks, and the work plate (wash basin) is given in such a way that the former tap valve can utilize again, independently of the second tap outlet, the pivoting function of the farmer tap outlet (not illustrated in a drawing).
The novel second tap outlet comprises a specialty which is provided by the invention thereby that the tap outlet, which serves to dispense soda water and refreshment drinks or solely for filtered or purified tap water, comprises an integrated compensator.
This compensator has then also the function to provide for the closing and opening effected by the user.
The invention also provides that the compensator is to be utilized in the tap outlet ~'~ ' anteriorly with respect to the means for dispensing soda water, purified tap water or refreshment drinks, by way of a mechanical actuation, which is seated at the tap outlet, for actuation of the compensator cylinder, which may also be conical, so as to manipulate the mentioned cylinder for opening or closing the passage for the stream of liquid.
It was also found in the context of the invention that the opportunity is provided to move the compensator (conical cylinder or a cylinder not being conical, which preferably is made of a material suitable for foodstuffs, for example, VA-steel) in a mechanical manner (other movement types are feasible) in the directions with the HENRY hit=tIEREISEN LLC 2122442233 04/18102 11~66A P.006 flow of liquid to the tap outlet or in countercurrent mode with respect to the stream of liquid.
By way of such utilization mode of the compensator there is now afforded regulation of the throughput quantity of the liquids (soda water).
The advantage which is provided by the invention in such a way that the user of the novel second tap outlet (or also as individual standalone tap outlet), by way of various adjustment options of the compensator (cylinder with a matching cylinder guide), is afforded the possibility to dispense different soda water qualities by way of the tap outlet.
A further configuration of the novel second tap outlet (this applies generally to the tap outlet), which is solved by the invention in such a way that the tap outlet with integrated compensator and actuation means to effect closing and opening , as well as the control of liquid volume throughput be comprised of two parts, a mounting element and a removable tap outlet with integrated moveable compensator, anteriorly in the vicinity of the tap outlet.
A further object of the movable and removable tap outlet in removing the tap outlet from the mounting which applies to the formerly installed tap valve (mixing faucet) ' "
is solved by the invention in such a way that the novel tap outlet is provided with a flexible conduit which conduit permits to remove the tap outlet from its mounting, whereupon the user of the novel tap outlet is afforded the opportunity to dispense his refreshments, soda water or refreshment drinks, as well as filtered or purified tap water, into containers (bottles, glasses), also some distance away from the wash basin region (not illustrated in a drawing).
A further variation is accomplished is by the invention in such a way that the aforementioned constructive solutions and applications of the additional second tap outlet is already, by way of structure, at one dispensing location integrated with HENRY h~,=~IEREISEN LLC 2122442233 04!18!02 11a66A P.006 at least one cold water inlet conduit, that is, a complete unit, but with different functions, that is, only cold water and soda water, as well as refreshment drinks, or filtered and purified tap water (not illustrated in a drawin~), or as single-handed mixing faucet in connection with the second tap outlet for soda water and refreshment drinks, but also as double-handed mixing faucet also with the second tap outlet which have, of course, a compensator integrated in the tap outlet or a cylinder mechanically moveable or fixedly installed.
A further variant is accomplished by the invention thereby that in the vicinity of the second tap outlet there is provided a mechanical operating element so as to achieve the COz stream in the direction of the system, so as to produce soda water or refreshment drinks, and this system affords the possibility to dispense the desired drinks by way of the novel tap outlet, this possibility can also be applicable for the required liquids (tap water).
A further variant of the invention is accomplished thereby that the requirement of tap water (liquids), so as to make, by use of C02, soda water and refreshment drinks, the required quantity of liquid (tap water) is addressed by actuation, for example, in the case of a single-handed lever mixing faucet, tv dispense a sufficient quantity of tap water as required for making soda water; there is then to ~'~' be provided a design in such a way that, via the single-handed operating element, which is also responsible for the delivery of cold water, hot water and mixed water, in a new position, which is otherwise not available, by way of the new position, it is made possible to supply the requirement of water (liquids) for the supply for the system, so that it becomes possible to particularly make soda water, and also by way of a static mixer (not illustrated in a drawing).
So as to achieve a release and the closing of the water stream by way of single-handed lever mixing faucet, which allows the supply for production of soda water (or filtered and purified tap water) in the case of a cartridge system, or other HENRY i~: i-'~ I ERE I 5EN LLC 2122442239 04! 16!02 11: 66A P . 007 systems, for the release and closing, possibilities need to be applied by novel systems.
This is also applicable for double-handed lever rnixing faucets (not illustrated in a drawing).
The installation option so as to install the compensator (cylinder) in the novel second tap outlet (single-handed tap outlet) is provided in accordance with the invention as described in the following. The tap outlet to be used, which tap outlet comprises a compensator, is manufactured in such a way that this tap outlet can be separated into two parts, this can be accomplished by a threaded or screw-type connection in connection with a flexible seal material which is also gas-tight. The lower part of the tap outlet, in the direction of the tap outlet, is designed so that, in the case of a conical cylinder, the inner cylinder guide is matchingly sonically to the cylinder within the tap outlet, with the preferred material of construction for the tap outlet being suitable for foodstuffs (not illustrated in a drawing.
For dispensing by way of the novel tap outlet with integrated compensator it is necessary, and this is accomplished in accordance with the invention by a screw-thread possibility to secure a supply conduit (this connection may also comprise a squeeze-type connection) at the tap outlet.
The supply conduit may be a flexible conduit.
In the case of a tap outlet with integrated compensator (this embodiment may also entail an embodiment not having a compensatory which can possibly be removed from its mounting at the tap valve (mixing faucet, mixing armature) for filling with soda water or refreshment drinks, it is possible to provide a weight, between the tap outlet and the mixing system (static mixer), at the supply conduit, which weight makes it easier for the user of the tap outlet, upon completion of the dispensing operation, to return the tap outlet to its mounting.
HENRY I-;:.=_EREISEN LLC 2122442288 04!18!02 11:55A P.008 So as to integrate a necessary venturi in the mixing system in order to provid~, by way of the novel tap outlet with integrated compensator, the possibility of a mechanical adjustment, in accordance with a solution of the invention, the venturi is designed in such a way that there is provided the possibility of a connection for a supply conduit for C02 for the mixing system so as to produce soda water (not illustrated in a drawing).
When use is made of a static mixer the invention provides that the supply conduit, which leads to the tap outlet, is connected by way of a screw threaded or squeeze-type connection with the static mixer in the direction of the tap outlet.
In the next step the static mixer (or another mixing system for the production of soda water) in the case of using a venturi, this can also be secured, in the direction of the tap outlet by way of screw threaded connections or squeeze-type connections to the mixing system (static mixer) (not illustrated in a drawing).
Also when using a venturi (which need not be used when appropriate) the supply of liquid for the mixing system can be by way of a T-piece when for the required C02 supply for the mixing system a connection means is present and in accordance with the invention there is provided the following solution. The venturi, ... .
as required, at the main cold water supply conduit, which is also used for the cold water supply for the standard tap valve (mixing faucet), is provided with a new double-acting check valve which is disposed on the tap water supply side, for the production of soda water, and a non-return valve, but other systems appear possible, Provisions need to be made to ensure that, in the case of the closed soda water system, absolutely no CO2 gas can reach the main water supply conduit, or into the standard fitting. Thus, the non-return system needs to be gas-tight, and this non-return system also needs to be employed on the gas side (not illustrated in a drawing).
C02 is a requirement for the production of soda water. This requirement is HENRY 1~~ . ~ ~_: i cRE I SEN L L C 2122442293 04! 18102 11 s 56A P . 009 addressed by the invention thereby that there is provided, at the mixing system which is connected to the novel tap outlet for the production of soda water having a constant good soda water quality, a constant COZ pressure, and a constant throughput quantity.
For this, there is required a COZ pressure reducing element with control of the throughput quantity.
the required C02 pressure reducing element can in this way also be used as limiter of overpressure. This is addressed by the invention in such a way that the required C02 pressure reducing element has an installed vverpressure valve.
This overpressure valve, as required, can be adjustable to various overpressure functions.
At this mentioned C02 pressure reducing element can be integrated a mounting which serves the purpose that the pressure reducing element can be connected by a screw-thread connection at the lower portion of the rinsing table, or at the wall work, by way of a secure mounting (not illustrated in a drawing).
For the supply of the pressure reducing element with CO2, which is necessary to produce soda water, there is required a container for C02. This is addressed by the invention thereby that the connection of the pressure reducing element for is directed 90 degrees downwardly and it comprises a screw thread type of connection. However, other possible aannection means are applicable.
C02 containers without riser tube need to be removed m upright attitude. This is attained by the invention in such a way that it is possible the COz container by way of the matching connecting means from the COZ container which is adapted to the connection means of the C02 pressure reducing element.
Through downward angling by 90 degrees, an upright removal of C02 from the CO2 container is assured. Since the C02 pressure reducing element is connected HENRY i°I . - ~= I ERE I SEN L L C 2122442238 04l 19102 11 s 65A P .
by way of a screw-thread connection, there is also provided a secure positioning for the COz container (not illustrated in a drawing).
The COZ containers (cartridges) can be refilled. This is solved by the invention thereby that the replacement C02 containers (cylinders) can be obtained without difficulties by way of a mail-order system by any user of the novel tap outlet which affords the production and dispensing of soda water, or refreshment drinks, to thereby obtain a replacement cylinder with C02 without problems.
In the case where the mixing system to produce soda water comprises a static mixer, this can be conceptualized in such a way that it serves simultaneously as tap water Biter or purifier. By way of one possibility to open the static mixer, this can be cleaned, or equipped with new filters, as required, (not illustrated in a drawing).
In order to provide a filtration system, as required, ant~riorly of the system for dispensing soda water, by way of the novel tap outlet, there is provided by the invention the solution that a filtration system is provided ahead of the introduction of tap water (liquids in the mixing system), this may also be utilized for the usual cold water supply for the usual mixing faucet (tap valve) (not illustrated in a drawing).
An inventive solution was thus found. When the user of the novel tap outlet with integrated compensator (or also without compensatory desires cooled drinks (soda water or filtered tap water), a cooling apparatus (preferred is continuous flow-through cooling arrangement with integrated control timer for turning the cooling apparatus on and off) is provided ahead of the mentioned mixing system to produce soda water, or also only tap water to be dispensed, as well as filtered, purified tap water (liquids) (not illustrated in a drawing).
In the case that other systems for the novel second tap outlet are to be used which HENRY hl F=L-'IEREISEN LLC 2122442288 04/18/02 11:65A P.011 would allow to make soda water, this is solved by the invention thereby that the novel second tap outlet is applied to the respective system so that it accomplishes the production of soda water, and one is able to dispense, via the novel tap outlet, soda water or refreshment drinks. There can be considered systems such as, for example, the known methods such as Primex or Posmix; as well as the method, as is also being used in the beverage industries, to introduce C02 via the vacuum to produce seltzer (soda water) using mineral waters.
In accordance with the invention there is provid~d a solution for a good and high COZ enrichment fn the tap water, when a static mixer is used, which is configured as described next: a specialty of this static mixer is that it is comprised of individual sieves such that the meshes of the individual sieved are disposed above one another. The preferred configuration of the sieves are round, they may, however, have other shapes. For example, they may be oval, or as would be required in respect of the C02 enrichment in the liquids (tap water), different sieve strengths and mesh sizes or bores can be utilized. There could also be used, if it appears necessary, between the necessary sieve elements which are necessary for the sieve mixer, separation elements which are integrated with it, or each individual sieve has, by way of its configuration of the material of construction of the sieve, already a finished distance protrusion or bulge which takes the place of a separating element. If distances need to be provided between the sieves, this can be attained by rubberizing of the individual sieve elements to provide a separating element with respect to the adjacent sieve within a mixing tube. The material of construction of the sieve must be such as to be suited for foodstuffs. For example VA steel, this applies also to the shroud in which the sieves are seated. The number of sieves which are used in a static mixer, as well as the diameter of the individual sieves, as well as thickness of the sieve, and the mesh size need to be adapted to the pertaining application. Such a designed static mixer, as described in the foregoing, can also find other applications. For example: in the purification of waste water, the beverage industry, agronomy or horticulture, in greenhouses _,...
HENRY hl rLIEREISEN LLC 2122442233 04118102 11a55A P.012 for the watering of plants, vegetables, or various types of fruits. The static mixer, as described in the foregoing, can be employed to water trees that are suffering from diseases. There is given rise to the thought of applications in general industrial applications of the static mixer as described in the foregoing;
this also applies to the application as catalysis means in motor vehicles. The static mixer described in the foregoing can be used, depending on its configuration, in connection with sieve elements for all types of gases, also those that need to be mixed, or in connection with liquids. It has also applicability in dispensing arrangements for refreshment drinks, or also in the brewing of beer, or in wineries, and so as to produce soft drinks. But, also generally in the foodstuffs industry. (not illustrated in a drawing.) It is the object of the present invention that the C02 pressure reducing element, which is required for removal of C02 from the C02 container, which container can be refilled upon emptying, can adjust the required C02 pressure by way of its special connection means for the COZ container so that there is provided a protection that unauthorized persons and firms can attend to refilling of the container with C02. This applies particularly to the bottle valve of the C02 container which is being utilized. That is, no person or firm can, without permission of the inventor of the present invention and the following patent claims relating to all patent claims which follow this in this patent application, refill a container. Thus, without the consent of the inventor, these C02 containers may not be refilled. These claims serve to protect the above-mentioned invention, which provides operation of the novel tap outlet so that an improper refilling of the C02 containers cannot take place. This applies particularly to an incorrect filling quantity (lower filling) (overfilling), and to the fact that also impure C02 gas has already found its way into the production of soda water, If such infractions are experienced, this can give rise to a user's health damag~ in using the novel tap outlet, as well as great damage to the product. _ It is a further embodiment of the invention that there is provided an adapter means HENRY hi.=cIEREISEN LLC 2122442293 04118102 11s55A P.018 when the mixing faucet singl~-handed or double-handed mixing faucet (tap valve) does not agree in the diameter, and this adapter can be used accordingly.
Further details of the invention can be found in the following detailed description and the appended drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example.
The drawing shows:
Figure 1: A schematic presentation of a single-handed mixing faucet with integrated second tap outlet and installed campensator, which drawing also indicates the adjustment possibility for the compensator, as well as the possibility to retrofit a mixing faucet, and to be equip this with a second tap outlet with integrated adjustable compensator. This will permit that a user of the novel second tap outlet can dispense soda water, or refreshment drinks, but also filtered and purified and cooled tap water.

There is also suggested the means to separate the tap outlet (10) from the adapter (1), as well as the conduit for the supply conduit for soda water (C) which allows the novel tap outlet (10) to dispense soda water. The opportunity that is provided by a separation means (18) of the novel tap outlet (10) allows removal and installation of the cvmpensator (12), in this it becomes necessary that there is assured an adjustment means (11) for the compensator (12), and there needs to be HENRY 1"iivLTEREISEN LLC 2122442235 04118102 11a56A P.014 addressed the option that it is removable and installable, and seals need to be provided for securement.
Figure 2: shows a schematic illustration of an adapter (1 ), which is configured to allow (a tap valve) mixing faucet (7) with a second tap outlet (3), (10) with integrated compensator (12), or a fixedly installed cylinder (4) and integrated cylinder guide (5), or integrated compensator guide (13), as well as the mounting means (22) for the tap outlet (3), as well as separating means (21 ), as well as the supply conduit for soda water (6) so as to dispense soda water from the novel tap outlet (3), as well as the channel (24) that permits a flow, which leads to the tap outlet (3), (10).
Figure 3: illustrates an adapter (19) which is utilized in the event that the adapter diameter (1 ) having the novel second tap outlet (3), (10) is not in agreement with the mixing faucet (7) (tap valve).
The adapter (1 ) means with a tap outlet (3), (10) with integrated cylinder (4) or integrated compensator (12) and integrated adjustment means (11 ) for the compensator (12) which serves therefore that a standard mixing faucet (7) is replaced by the second tap outlet (3), (10) allows the user to dispense soda water .~
from the additional second tap outlet (3), (10, but also refreshment drinks, as well as filtered and purified tap water, which may also be served in cooled manner.
The supply conduits (14) serve to supply the fitting (7); the supply conduit (15) serves to supply the fitting (7) (also double-handed mixing faucet) not illustrated in a drawing, with warm water. The conduit (16) that is used to supply soda water (6) serves to supply the navel tap outlet (3), (10) with soda water, or refreshment drinks, not illustrated in a drawing.

The novel second tap outlet (3), (10) is designed in such a way that it comprises the option of being separated (21 ), that the integrated compensator (12) or the cylinder (4) can serve for installation or removal of this.
As well, there is shown the means to utilize the operating element (11 ) for the compensator (12).
The novel tap outlet (10) has the means to remove the tap outlet (3), (10) from the mounting (22) so as to dispense at a distance away from the wash basin (not illustrated in a drawing) and this is because the conduit (6), (23) is designed in such a way.
Figure 2: shows an adapter (1 ) with integrated tap outlet (3) which makes it possible to dispense soda water. This adapter (1 ) can also be designed in such a way that it comprises the means of (6), (23), (13, (12), (11), 910, (18), (17), (22), (24), (19).

Figure 1: shows a complete single-handed lever mixer tap valve (24) with integrated second tap outlet (3), (10) which serves to dispense soda water, refreshment drinks or filtered and purified tap water (not illustrated in a drawing).
There is now being given the means to separate the former fitting (7) from the water supply (14) (15) as well, as required, from the supply conduits for a dishwasher or washing machine (not illustrated in a drawing).
As next step, the former fitting (7) needs to be removed from the work plate or the wash basin (not illustrated in a drawing).
HENRY f~::~_TEREISEN LLC 2122442299 04118102 11:55A P.016 . CA 02388131 2002-04-19 After this, the adapter (1 ) can be placed at the location where the former fitting (7) was located (not illustrated in a drawing).
Next follows that the former fitting (7) is placed onto the adapter (1 ) and, if required, the adapter (19) is utilized.
Once this has been done, the former fitting (7) is secured with the existing mounting elements. If necessary, new mounting elements need to be utilized (not illustrated in a drawing).
As next step there arises that the supply conduits (14)(15) of the former fitting (7) are reconnected to the supply system (not illustrated in a drawing).
By way of this type of assembly of the former fitting (7), the adapter (1 ) is afforded a secure retention with the novel tap outlet (3) (10).
Next the supply conduits (6)(23) are connected to the mixing system for the production of soda water (not illustrated in a drawing).
When the complete assembly of both systems is completed, the user can now use his former fitting (7) in customary manner.
Furthermore, he is now able, by way of the new second tap outlet (3)(10), to dispense soda water and thus can also produce his production refreshment drinks.
This would be independently of the former fitting (7) (not illustrated in a drawing).
When using the second tap outlet (10), the user can himself also select, by way of the operating element (11 ) at the tap outlet (10) whether he wishes to dispense a soda water type classic, medium, or also light.
HENRY M t=~IEREISEN LLC 2122442239 04118/02 11~66A P.017 In the case of a water filter connected anteriorly, or an arrangement for the purification of tap water, via the standard tap outlet (8)(20) tap water can be removed. Thls can also be done by way of the second tap outlet (3)(10).
If there is provided an anterior cooling arrangement at the second tap outlet (3)(10)(24), the user can dispense cooled soda water, or refreshment drinks.
This is also possible for tap water from a standard tap outlet (8)(20), however, as required, this is not a necessity.
As required, the user of the novel second tap outlet (10) can remove the tap outlet (10) from the mounting (22) and can dispense drinks at a distance away from the wash basin (not illustrated in a drawing).
When use is made of the novel armature (7)(24) with integrated second tap outlet (3)(10) the aforementioned options remain.
The aforementioned application areas of the describe static mixer which is comprised of individual sieves, or of sieve-like configuration (compare patent .,..., claims), apply (not illustrated in a drawing).
There exists the possibility to use the novel second tap outlet (3)(10) with any tap valve, or any mixing faucet, or it can be integrated with a standard tap outlet (8)(20) (not illustrated in a drawing).
When use is made of a static mixer the invention provides that the supply conduit, which leads to the tap outlet, is connected by way of a screw threaded or squeeze-type connection with the static mixer in the direction of the tap outlet.
In the next step the static mixer (or another mixing system for the production of soda water) in the case of using a venturi, this can also be secured, in the direction of the tap outlet by way of screw threaded connections or squeeze-type connections to the mixing system (static mixer) (not illustrated in a drawing).
Also when using a venturi (which need not be used when appropriate) the supply of liquid for the mixing system can be by way of a T-piece when for the required C02 supply for the mixing system a connection means is present and in accordance with the invention there is provided the following solution. The venturi, ... .
as required, at the main cold water supply conduit, which is also used for the cold water supply for the standard tap valve (mixing faucet), is provided with a new double-acting check valve which is disposed on the tap water supply side, for the production of soda water, and a non-return valve, but other systems appear possible, Provisions need to be made to ensure that, in the case of the closed soda water system, absolutely no CO2 gas can reach the main water supply conduit, or into the standard fitting. Thus, the non-return system needs to be gas-tight, and this non-return system also needs to be employed on the gas side (not illustrated in a drawing).
C02 is a requirement for the production of soda water. This requirement is HENRY 1~~ . ~ ~_: i cRE I SEN L L C 2122442293 04! 18102 11 s 56A P . 009 addressed by the invention thereby that there is provided, at the mixing system which is connected to the novel tap outlet for the production of soda water having a constant good soda water quality, a constant COZ pressure, and a constant throughput quantity.
For this, there is required a COZ pressure reducing element with control of the throughput quantity.
the required C02 pressure reducing element can in this way also be used as limiter of overpressure. This is addressed by the invention in such a way that the required C02 pressure reducing element has an installed vverpressure valve.
This overpressure valve, as required, can be adjustable to various overpressure functions.
At this mentioned C02 pressure reducing element can be integrated a mounting which serves the purpose that the pressure reducing element can be connected by a screw-thread connection at the lower portion of the rinsing table, or at the wall work, by way of a secure mounting (not illustrated in a drawing).
For the supply of the pressure reducing element with CO2, which is necessary to produce soda water, there is required a container for C02. This is addressed by the invention thereby that the connection of the pressure reducing element for is directed 90 degrees downwardly and it comprises a screw thread type of connection. However, other possible aannection means are applicable.
C02 containers without riser tube need to be removed m upright attitude. This is attained by the invention in such a way that it is possible the COz container by way of the matching connecting means from the COZ container which is adapted to the connection means of the C02 pressure reducing element.
Through downward angling by 90 degrees, an upright removal of C02 from the CO2 container is assured. Since the C02 pressure reducing element is connected HENRY i°I . - ~= I ERE I SEN L L C 2122442238 04l 19102 11 s 65A P .
by way of a screw-thread connection, there is also provided a secure positioning for the COz container (not illustrated in a drawing).
The COZ containers (cartridges) can be refilled. This is solved by the invention thereby that the replacement C02 containers (cylinders) can be obtained without difficulties by way of a mail-order system by any user of the novel tap outlet which affords the production and dispensing of soda water, or refreshment drinks, to thereby obtain a replacement cylinder with C02 without problems.
In the case where the mixing system to produce soda water comprises a static mixer, this can be conceptualized in such a way that it serves simultaneously as tap water Biter or purifier. By way of one possibility to open the static mixer, this can be cleaned, or equipped with new filters, as required, (not illustrated in a drawing).
In order to provide a filtration system, as required, ant~riorly of the system for dispensing soda water, by way of the novel tap outlet, there is provided by the invention the solution that a filtration system is provided ahead of the introduction of tap water (liquids in the mixing system), this may also be utilized for the usual cold water supply for the usual mixing faucet (tap valve) (not illustrated in a drawing).
An inventive solution was thus found. When the user of the novel tap outlet with integrated compensator (or also without compensatory desires cooled drinks (soda water or filtered tap water), a cooling apparatus (preferred is continuous flow-through cooling arrangement with integrated control timer for turning the cooling apparatus on and off) is provided ahead of the mentioned mixing system to produce soda water, or also only tap water to be dispensed, as well as filtered, purified tap water (liquids) (not illustrated in a drawing).
In the case that other systems for the novel second tap outlet are to be used which HENRY hl F=L-'IEREISEN LLC 2122442288 04/18/02 11:65A P.011 would allow to make soda water, this is solved by the invention thereby that the novel second tap outlet is applied to the respective system so that it accomplishes the production of soda water, and one is able to dispense, via the novel tap outlet, soda water or refreshment drinks. There can be considered systems such as, for example, the known methods such as Primex or Posmix; as well as the method, as is also being used in the beverage industries, to introduce C02 via the vacuum to produce seltzer (soda water) using mineral waters.
In accordance with the invention there is provid~d a solution for a good and high COZ enrichment fn the tap water, when a static mixer is used, which is configured as described next: a specialty of this static mixer is that it is comprised of individual sieves such that the meshes of the individual sieved are disposed above one another. The preferred configuration of the sieves are round, they may, however, have other shapes. For example, they may be oval, or as would be required in respect of the C02 enrichment in the liquids (tap water), different sieve strengths and mesh sizes or bores can be utilized. There could also be used, if it appears necessary, between the necessary sieve elements which are necessary for the sieve mixer, separation elements which are integrated with it, or each individual sieve has, by way of its configuration of the material of construction of the sieve, already a finished distance protrusion or bulge which takes the place of a separating element. If distances need to be provided between the sieves, this can be attained by rubberizing of the individual sieve elements to provide a separating element with respect to the adjacent sieve within a mixing tube. The material of construction of the sieve must be such as to be suited for foodstuffs. For example VA steel, this applies also to the shroud in which the sieves are seated. The number of sieves which are used in a static mixer, as well as the diameter of the individual sieves, as well as thickness of the sieve, and the mesh size need to be adapted to the pertaining application. Such a designed static mixer, as described in the foregoing, can also find other applications. For example: in the purification of waste water, the beverage industry, agronomy or horticulture, in greenhouses _,...
HENRY hl rLIEREISEN LLC 2122442233 04118102 11a55A P.012 for the watering of plants, vegetables, or various types of fruits. The static mixer, as described in the foregoing, can be employed to water trees that are suffering from diseases. There is given rise to the thought of applications in general industrial applications of the static mixer as described in the foregoing;
this also applies to the application as catalysis means in motor vehicles. The static mixer described in the foregoing can be used, depending on its configuration, in connection with sieve elements for all types of gases, also those that need to be mixed, or in connection with liquids. It has also applicability in dispensing arrangements for refreshment drinks, or also in the brewing of beer, or in wineries, and so as to produce soft drinks. But, also generally in the foodstuffs industry. (not illustrated in a drawing.) It is the object of the present invention that the C02 pressure reducing element, which is required for removal of C02 from the C02 container, which container can be refilled upon emptying, can adjust the required C02 pressure by way of its special connection means for the COZ container so that there is provided a protection that unauthorized persons and firms can attend to refilling of the container with C02. This applies particularly to the bottle valve of the C02 container which is being utilized. That is, no person or firm can, without permission of the inventor of the present invention and the following patent claims relating to all patent claims which follow this in this patent application, refill a container. Thus, without the consent of the inventor, these C02 containers may not be refilled. These claims serve to protect the above-mentioned invention, which provides operation of the novel tap outlet so that an improper refilling of the C02 containers cannot take place. This applies particularly to an incorrect filling quantity (lower filling) (overfilling), and to the fact that also impure C02 gas has already found its way into the production of soda water, If such infractions are experienced, this can give rise to a user's health damag~ in using the novel tap outlet, as well as great damage to the product. _ It is a further embodiment of the invention that there is provided an adapter means HENRY hi.=cIEREISEN LLC 2122442293 04118102 11s55A P.018 when the mixing faucet singl~-handed or double-handed mixing faucet (tap valve) does not agree in the diameter, and this adapter can be used accordingly.
