Description

The Invention relates to a device for receiving beverage containers, in particular of party kegs according to the preamble of claim 1.

For the tasting of guests in relation to drinks often become larger amounts of the drinks in appropriate beverage containers such as party kegs kept ready and straight from these beverage containers bottled, about tapped. Such beverage containers usually have a volume between 5 and 10 liters and be especially at garden parties or other outdoor celebrations used. These beverage containers bring here usually a built-in filling device with, usually one Art tap or the like., On the beverage container is integrated and easy use of the beverage container without additional facilities.

Problematic on such beverage containers when used outdoors are in particular two points. For one thing, these are Beverage containers usually in one Refrigerator pre-cooled and therefore can the bottled drinks at least initially be enjoyed appropriately tempered. But becomes a derar tiger Beverage containers without further precautions in the Outdoors, it heats up relatively quickly and the beverage provided therein is becoming increasingly warmer. Furthermore, the establishment of such a beverage container problematic because the z. B. a beer necessary dispensing device rather arranged at the bottom of the beverage container should be, also to unpressurized beverage containers completely empty. But that means that the beverage container raised enough must be placed so that a glass to tap also under the dispensing device can be kept. This is just outdoors Insulators of the beverage container not simple and often are any existing just this Objects under the beverage container so that such a list is usually not very special safe and durable. Finally, there is the problem be mentioned that such beverage containers can be handled relatively poorly, since they are mostly in the Chilled condition are moist and slippery when in the uncooled surroundings come and therefore carry over longer distances uncomfortable (due to the wetness on the surface of the beverage container this is usually kept at a distance from the body when worn) and at risk of accident.

There have therefore been some approaches to eliminate these disadvantages. For example, from the DE 299 21 945 U1 a cooling bag for receiving a single such beverage container is known, which is equipped with an insulating device that keeps the beverage container longer in the cooled state. The cooling bag is in this case formed with a two-part form of a foldable material into which a party keg can be inserted and kept cool with cooling batteries in the closed state of the cooler bag longer. This cooler also has carrying facilities. A disadvantage of this cooling bag is in particular that the cooling bag also in the unused condition requires a corresponding volume for storage and that the entire cooling bag with the party keg arranged therein must be erected as stated elevated.

The problem of elevation is in the DE 84 07 848 U1 solved in that the tapping party keg is placed on a gleichgeformtes other party keg, which serves as a spacer to the ground and thus allows a pin without Aufständern with auxiliary equipment. The disadvantage of this is that two party kegs are available and must be handled and that the party kegs can not be placed in isolation.

A rigid insulation in the form of foamed plastic parts for party kegs are used in the DE 296 19 616 U1 and the DE 202 10 745 U1 suggested, although the insulating effect is good, but the stowage in the unused state requires a lot of space. Also, only one party keg can be kept so cool.

task It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a device for receiving of beverage containers of the invention To develop such a way that in particular simplifies the pin and without additional facilities allows and the handling and tempering of the beverage container is improved.

The Solution of the problem of the invention arises from the characterizing features of claim 1 in Interaction with the characteristics of the generic term. Further advantageous Embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

The invention is based on a device for receiving beverage containers, in particular party kegs, comprising an envelope-like receptacle which surrounds the beverage container on the circumference and in which an opening is provided as access to a dispenser of the beverage container. Such a generic device is further developed in that the envelope-like receptacle has a substantially flat portion of material, which is bent in the use state of the device into a tubular enclosure and at least one beverage container on the periphery includes. It is advantageous in this case that the device according to the invention is formed from the essentially planar material section in the form of the sleeve-like receptacle, which is converted from a planar configuration into a tubular configuration by a type of rolling up only when used for the transport or storage of beverage containers and thus provides the receiving space for receiving the at least one beverage container. If such a device is no longer needed, it can be converted back into the planar configuration and therefore requires little space for stowage. As a result, the function of the device according to the invention in the use and cooling of the beverage container is solved particularly advantageous, at the same time the stowage of the unused device is particularly simple and space-saving possible.

In a first embodiment, it is conceivable that the envelope-like Recording in the state of use at least two on top of each other stacked beverage containers, in particular two Stackable party kegs or the like. Accommodates. Through education a container of two or more stacked Beverage containers using the inventive Device is on the one hand, the transport of this package essential on the other hand there is always another beverage container for supporting the currently used beverage container available for the justifying of the just used beverage container easily possible is and thus the tapping example of a beer from the beverage container everywhere can be done.

In an alternative embodiment, the envelope-like Recording in the state of use a beverage container, in particular a stackable party keg or the like, as well as another Body, in particular a further hollow body record on the beverage container erectable is. The use of only one filled with beverage Beverage container reduces the weight of the container essential and thus increases the comfort of carrying the device. The other body, at the same time too can be designed such that in the interior of the further hollow body Objects, in particular accessories or the like. For the device introduced and / or from it can be removed, continue to allow the otherwise by the second beverage container realized Aufständern of the beverage container when pouring a drink. This will on the one hand space for stowing and carrying of accessories of the device, such as glasses / cups, Sharing a dispensing device, a drip tray or other helpful items created, on the other hand, the carrying weight the device reduces with constant Zapfkomfort by the erection of the beverage container.

Conceivable It is also here that the hollow body is an empty, not filled with drink and partially opened Beverage container is the z. B. in the frontal area was opened and thus a corresponding opening for filling and removing the accessories offers. In another embodiment, the further body a body made of a lightweight material, in particular a hollow body made of an insulating material, in addition to the inclusion of accessories also a Can fulfill insulating function, for example, to carry additional cooling elements, in such a way trained hollow body stay cold longer and longer if necessary for cooling the beverage container can be used. It is advantageous here if the hollow body has a closable lid, the falling out of the accessories or Like. From the interior of the hollow body prevented. This If necessary, the lid can also be insulated again.

Since different barrel sizes are distributed on the market for party kegs for beer, it is also conceivable in a further embodiment that the envelope-like receptacle is dimensioned such that the envelope-like receptacle receive beverage containers of similar but little different dimensions and their respective access areas to a dispensing device can make accessible. Thus, both in terms of the diameter of the beverage containers as well as in terms of their height and possibly the arrangement of the access areas to the dispensing devices, the device can be designed so that the largest possible number dimensionally differently shaped beverage containers can be used with the device. Of course, this adjustment has its limits as soon as the beverage containers are too different from each other. In this case, it is conceivable, on the one hand, that the casing-like receptacle has a plurality of openings through which the access areas to a dispensing device of beverage containers of different dimensions are accessible in the used state of the casing-like receptacle. Then only the appropriate opening for the respective beverage container is used, whereas the other openings remain unused or even remain covered for better insulation. In another embodiment, it is also conceivable that the envelope-like receptacle has only one opening through which the access areas are accessible to a dispensing device of beverage containers of different dimensions by turning over in the used state of the envelope-like receptacle. By about the envelope or in any other way customizable assignment of the sleeve-like receptacle relative to the respective beverage container, a wide flexibility in the use of different beverage containers can be achieved. If necessary, the opening can be adapted, for example as a slot or Like. Be trained. It is also conceivable that the usual for unpressurised beverage containers arrangement of the dispensing device at the bottom of the beverage container and the usual for pressurized beverage containers arrangement of the dispensing device at the top of the beverage container can be used by a common opening, such as by the envelope-like receptacle vertically reversed the beverage container is assigned.

In a conceivable embodiment, the envelope-like recording be formed from a substantially flat portion of material, at the two opposite end portions can be fixed together are when the flat portion of material bent like a tube is. This allows the tube-like configuration, the from the substantially planar material portion by a kind Rolling up can be generated, easily backed up, for example by the two opposite end portions in the tubular configuration of the sheath-like Recording over two parts of a closure, preferably a zipper are fixed together. So For example, two opposite edges an approximately rectangular planar material portion each with a Part of a zipper designed to be the rolling of the flat material portion fixed to each other and thus secure the tube-like configuration. Within the thus bent material section is now formed the receiving space for the or the beverage container or the other body, where the recording room at about one Party keg cylindrical with a circular circumference can be. Of course it is also conceivable that the reception room another, the shape and dimensions the beverage container adapted boundary or Form has.

From Importance continues it that the inside dimensions of the shell-like Recording in the tube-like configuration substantially the outer diameter of the beverage container or the other body should correspond. hereby Can the beverage container or the other bodies well in the shell-like Recording recorded receiving space and, where appropriate in their position to each other and to the sleeve-like recording be secured if the dimensions of the sheath-like Recording or the recording room formed from a Type Clamps of beverage container or beverage containers within the recording room.

Farther It is conceivable that the length of the sheath-like Recording larger than the height of the beverage container or the stacked height of the beverage containers or the further body is formed. This will it is possible, the front end portions of the sleeve-like Picture taken after rolling up the sleeve-like receptacle into the tube-like configuration inevitably are open, also close by means of suitable devices. It is of course also conceivable that in the field the front ends of the sleeve-like receptacle on the sleeve-like recording even appropriately shaped fittings or sections are defined in the frontal opening the tubular configuration of the sheath-like Capture are plugged and lock it with it.

From It is also an advantage if the sleeve-like recording an access area to a dispensing device releases that at the Beverage container or the top or one the upper beverage container is arranged. This Access area to a dispensing device, for example, by a concealable cover or the like covered can be used with closed tubular Configuration of the sleeve-like receptacle access to a dispensing valve or the like on the beverage container to ensure that is currently in use. This is this Access area depends on the configuration of each used beverage container within the sheath-like Recording arranged so that only the rotation orientation of the beverage container within the sheath-like Recording in its tube-like configuration has to be considered, to access from outside the sheath-like To ensure intake to the nozzle or the like.

In a first advantageous embodiment, it is conceivable that the sleeve-like receptacle has an insulating material, with the help of a wrapped by the sleeve-like recording cooled beverage container over its temperature essentially maintains a longer time. One Such insulating material may, for example, a foamed Plastic material or the like, which has a high insulating effect has and at the same time a corresponding deformability for Roll up the sleeve-like recording guaranteed. Of course, many different configurations such an insulating material on the sleeve-like Recording conceivable and included by the invention.

It is also conceivable that the casing-like receptacle has a cold-storing substance with the aid of which a cooled beverage container enclosed by the casing-like receptacle essentially retains its temperature over a relatively long period of time. Such cold accumulating substances are widely known and are used for example for cooling elements or the like. These cold accumulating substances are typically gels or powders or the like which are external Cooling change their state of aggregation and then change this state of aggregation gradually with the release of a corresponding evaporative cooling again. For example, such a cold-storing substance could be arranged on the inside of the casing-like receptacle and deliver the evaporative cooling to the beverage container across the board. Of course, it is also conceivable to envelop such an envelope-like receptacle with a cold-storing substance on the outside by an insulating material in order to ensure a long-lasting cooling effect of the cold-storing substance.

In Regarding the unavoidable cold loss of the device it is advantageous if the bottom and / or the lid area of the sheath-like receptacle in the tubular configuration closed by plug-like end pieces are. Such plug-like end pieces can preformed, for example, also made of an insulating material exist and / or have a cold-storing substance and attachable to the end portions of the sleeve-like receptacle be, for example, in the through the sleeve-like recording The opening formed in the forehead area is clampingly inserted or by a kind of closure like a zipper, a Velcro or the like at the front opening the sleeve-like recording are set. In further Embodiment, it is also conceivable that in the or the plug-like End pieces Cooling elements or the like. Cooling devices can be inserted and / or integrated therein. You can do this For example, commercial cooling elements used be in a corresponding recess on the inside plugged the plug-like end pieces and there being held.

From particular advantage for the handling of the container Beverage containers, further body and Sheath-like receptacle is when on the outside the sleeve-like recording carrying aids are arranged, with the container from hülartiger recording and beverage containers / further Body is jointly manageable. Not everyone has to the beverage containers are handled separately, but after inserting the beverage container in the sleeve-like recording, these can be together and without the risk of slipping or dirtying or Wetting and handling are carried out. For example, can as a carrying aid a strap so on the sleeve-like Pickup be established that carrying the pack upright and / or horizontally possible. Thus, depending on Requires different attitudes when carrying the container, wherein the wearer himself can decide which of the attitudes is best for him, without the container in terms Handling could be problematic. It is conceivable It also continues, that the carrying strap is so long that the container is to wear with the strap over the shoulder. This will a third carrying attitude allows one to be particularly simple and ergonomic transport of the container allowed. In further Embodiment, it is also conceivable that the length of the strap so changeable is that the carrying strap as a handle and / or usable as a shoulder strap. Thus has the carrying strap, whose Length can be changed, both the function a handle as well as a shoulder strap.

From It is also advantageous if the strap on the sleeve-like Recording is determined that the bottom side and / or the lid side plug-like end piece through the strap on the sleeve-like recording is additionally set. For example, the strap on the sleeve-like Record that he is in the used state about one or both of the plug-like end pieces away runs and this on the sleeve-like recording additionally set so that the beverage containers not from the inside of the tubular configuration of the can slip out sleeve-like recording.

Farther It is conceivable that the carrying aid of the sleeve-like Recording can be removed. This can be in the used state the sleeve-like recording when tapping the beer Carrying aid will be removed and is therefore not subject to a corresponding Risk of contamination. Also, the appearance of the device is in used state when tapping or the like by the carrying aid not impaired.

Conceivable It continues to be that the outside of the sheath-like Recording and / or the bottom-side plug-like end piece and / or the lid-side plug-like end piece can be labeled as advertising space. This allows For example, advertising for a brewery, a Football club or the like on the outer shell be attached to the device and thus a corresponding advertising effect unfold. This also makes it possible for the device for example, free or reduced by such a cost Advertisers will be distributed and then over a long period of time the use of the device unfolds a corresponding advertising effect.

It is particularly advantageous that the envelope-like receptacle can be stored in the unused state as a flat structure. For this purpose, the sleeve-like receptacle is returned to its planar configuration back by the closure, for example, the zipper in the edge region of the sleeve-like receptacle dissolved and in the envelope-like receptacle in their planar Konfigurati is bent back on. Thus, the device can be easily placed, for example, under or behind any furniture or the like and needs virtually no space.

Also It is conceivable that the sleeve-like recording in not used state is part of a sleeping mat or the like. sleeping mats such as As sleeping pads or the like have a very similar Consistency like the sheath-like receptacle and it is for example conceivable that several such sheath-like shots or supplements to the sheath-like Admission to a mattress with commercially available dimensions can be summarized, for example, on the closures can be connected to each other. This has the sleeve-like Recording an additional use above In addition, the entrainment of the sleeve-like recording Simplified when camping. Also, in such a rolled-up sleeping mat leave the core area free, so there is about a sleeping bag or other objects are inserted and transported can.

Farther it is conceivable that in the sleeve-like receptacle and / or the drip-like end pieces or a drip tray integrable or attachable to the sleeve-like receptacle, with the liquid dripping from the nozzle when tapping is trappable. The beer dripping, for example, when tapping is collected by such a drip tray and therefore can not uncontrolled the environment area at the place of installation Contaminate device. For this example, the drip tray be carried as a separate part and if necessary under the nozzle are provided, it is also conceivable that about one the plug-like end pieces a corresponding recess has and by unfolding or unscrewing so under the nozzle can be brought that the depression the dripping beverage residues fields. It is important that the drip tray as close to the outer periphery of the device can be brought in, since the dispensing devices typical beverage containers only a little bit out of the beverage container. It is therefore advantageous if the drip tray a corresponding curved outer shape, which conforms to the Close the outer shape of the container as close as possible leaves or conforms to this outer shape. It is also conceivable that such a drip tray in a designed as a hollow body further body inserted and thus fixed on the device entrained can be.

Conceivable it is in another embodiment also that the separate drip tray is designed so that in the unused state between the stacked beverage containers stowable. As a result, on the one hand, the drip tray saves space between the two stacked beverage containers stowed and can in a further embodiment, even the Secure location allocation of beverage containers, for example by the drip tray corresponding edge shapes or edges or the like, on the outer shape of the beverage container are tuned and the top and bottom of the drip tray with the stacked beverage containers Interact.

A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention Device shows the drawing.

It demonstrate:

1 A top view of the device according to the invention in the flat state with the sleeve-like receptacle,

2 An exploded view of the tube-like receptacle rolled into a tube-like configuration with stopper-like end pieces arranged on the top and on the bottom side,

3 - A side view of the device according to the invention according to 2 in the state of use during transport,

4a A representation of the carrying strap,

4b A plan view and a side view of a plug-like end piece,

5 - A side view of the device according to the invention according to 2 in the state of use when tapping a beer glass with drip tray arranged on the underside.

In the 1 is a sheath-like receptacle in a plan view 2 the device according to the invention 1 to recognize in a flat state, which may be formed for example of an insulating material layer such as a damping material such as a foam material or the like made of plastic and has an approximately rectangular blank. At the left and right edge 4 . 5 has the sleeve-like recording 2 two halves of a zipper 6 described in more detail to form a tubular configuration of the sleeve-like receptacle 2 be used. The zipper 6 is via a two-part zipper 7 he pressed on one of the halves 4 of the zipper 4 . 5 located.

In the middle area of the sleeve-like receptacle 2 is an outlet opening 3 to recognize that over an edge reinforcement 9 is prepared and for the Auf assumption of an outlet valve 16 one within the tubular configuration of the sheath-like receptacle 2 arranged upper beverage container 14 serves. The outlet opening 3 can be closed by a cover, not shown, if it is not needed, such as during transport. The outlet opening 3 can also be elsewhere on the sleeve-like recording 2 are arranged, approximately at the upper or lower edge depending on the position of the respective outlet valve 16 the beverage container (s) 14 . 15 , Also, the shape of the outlet opening 3 be changed, such as outlet valves 16 differently dimensionally designed beverage container 14 . 15 and thus with regard to the position of the respective outlet valve 16 varying arrangements with only one outlet opening 3 to be able to record.

Also in the 1 two loop-type holders 8th for one in the 4a recognizable carrying aid in the form of a carrying strap 17 to recognize, thereby the sleeve-like recording 2 set and used for carrying purposes.

The in the 1 recognizable level configuration of the sleeve-like receptacle 2 can thereby into the in the 2 recognizable tubular configuration can be brought that the two edges 4 . 5 the sheath-like receptacle 2 moved to each other and the sleeve-like recording 2 thereby being bent into the tubular configuration. This results in the tube-like configuration within the tube-like configuration 2 a receiving space for one or as shown here two or more beverage containers 14 . 15 stacked on top of the tubular configuration of the sleeve-like receptacle 2 be wrapped circumferentially. The tubular configuration of the sheath-like receptacle 2 is ensured by the fact that the two halves 6 the zipper on the edges 4 . 5 with the help of the zipper 7 getting closed. Conversely, tubular configuration of the sleeve-like receptacle 2 be converted into the planar configuration that the zipper 6 is opened and thereby the two edges 4 . 5 separate again from each other. The sheath-like recording 2 can then be bent back into the planar configuration or jumps back into this configuration alone.

Inside the sleeve-like receptacle 2 can, as in the 2 and 3 indicated schematically, two beverage containers 14 . 15 be stacked one above the other. It is also conceivable, only a single beverage container 14 in the sleeve-like receptacle 2 to arrange. Another possibility is to have only one filled beverage container 14 with an empty beverage container 15 to combine, with the empty beverage container 15 at least partially open, to non-illustrated accessories such as cups, a drip tray 24 or the like to record and carry in it. The opening of the empty beverage container 15 can be reversibly closed about a lid.

It is also conceivable, for example, to provide a further body specially made for this purpose, in particular a body formed as a hollow body, which is formed for example from an insulating material and is likewise intended for receiving accessories or objects. These additional hollow bodies are not expressly shown in the figures, but can the part number 15 also be regarded as used for the identification of such separate hollow body.

Approximately in the middle of the sleeve-like receptacle 2 is an outlet opening 3 to recognize their location within the envelope-like receptacle 2 through the position of the dispensing valve 16 of the upper beverage container 14 within the tubular configuration of the sheath-like receptacle 2 is determined. So this is the nozzle 16 also in the closed, tube-like curved configuration of the sheath-like receptacle 2 freely accessible and it can, as in 5 indicated, for. B. beer from the outlet valve 16 in a glass 27 be tapped.

The material of the sleeve-like recording 2 may advantageously consist of an insulating material, in the simplest case a polystyrene or other foam-like material with insulating effect, which is sufficiently flexible. This material will typically be covered on the outer surfaces by a corresponding visually appealing lamination, for example by a leather-like cover layer, a plastic material or the like. It is also conceivable that the sleeve-like receptacle 2 partially or completely on its inside is equipped with a cold-storing substance that can be pre-cooled and gives off due to a phase change over a longer time evaporative heat. Such substances are basically known and will not be further described here.

The tube-like configuration of the sleeve-like receptacle becomes upper and lower sides 2 through a lid-side 10 and a bottom-side plug-like end piece 11 closed, causing the inside of the sheath-like receptacle 2 existing cold continues to be isolated. These plug-like end pieces 10 . 11 can be formed from a correspondingly stable insulating material, so that the pressure load due to the weight of the beverage container 14 . 15 can be well received. These plug-like end pieces 10 . 11 can in the top and the bottom opening of the tubular Konfi guration of the sheath-like receptacle 2 simply plugged in, but it is also conceivable that the plug-like end pieces 10 . 11 at the upper and lower edges of the sleeve-like receptacle 2 determined, z. B. be determined via a Velcro not shown circuit. On the insides of the plug-like end pieces 10 . 11 can each groove-like depressions 12 for inserting commercial cooling batteries 13 be formed, which then about Velcro 21 in this groove-like depression 12 can be kept and additionally or exclusively for cooling the beverage container 14 . 15 serve. On the outside can on the plug-like end pieces 10 . 11 an area 22 be provided for an advertising print, as of course on the outer surface of the sleeve-like recording 2 the case may be.

Like in the 3 The sleeve-like recording can be better seen 2 in the tubular configuration by a carrying aid in the form of a carrying strap 17 be handled, with the strap 17 over loops 8th on the sleeve-like receptacle 2 can be determined. For this are, as in the 4a recognizable, at the end of the carrying strap 17 one lock buckle each 20 arranged, in not shown, on the sleeve-like receptacle 2 fixed closures can be inserted and locked with these. When these closures are arranged so that the carrying strap 17 in the proper position over the two or just one of the plug-like end pieces 10 . 11 can extend, the determination of the plug-like end pieces 10 . 11 additionally when carrying the container from a sleeve-like receptacle 2 and beverage containers 14 . 15 be stabilized. On the strap 17 can have two cushions 18 . 19 be arranged, of which a cushion 18 for carrying the container from sleeve-like receptacle 2 and beverage containers 14 . 15 over the shoulder and the other upholstery 19 for carrying the container from sleeve-like receptacle 2 and beverage containers 14 . 15 in vertical position in the hand. For this, the carrying strap 17 be adapted in a manner not shown in its length. Also, the strap can 17 , about for the tapping of a beer in the 5 shown manner entirely of the sleeve-like recording 2 be solved.

In the 5 is the usage situation of the sleeve-like recording 2 with included beverage containers 14 . 15 while tapping a beer in a glass 27 from the upper beverage container 14 represented, wherein the upper beverage container 14 on the lower beverage container 15 elevated and thus easily accessible to the pin at a sufficient height above a ground. This is the nozzle 16 through the outlet opening 3 outward from the beverage container 14 pulled out and is thus slightly above the outer diameter of the sleeve-like recording 2 in their tubular configuration. This is the nozzle 16 for the glass 27 accessible and the beer can be in the glass 27 be bottled.

Since the tapping of a beverage in the manner described always leads to the remaining, in the nozzle 16 existing drink after putting down the glass 27 drips down, it is advantageous in terms of contamination at the installation of the container from sleeve-like recording 2 and beverage containers 14 . 15 if a drip tray 24 under the outlet valve 16 is provided. This can either be a separate drip tray 24 be provided, consisting of a recessed drip tray 24 and an overlying lid 23 for storing glasses 27 can exist. The lid 23 can punch holes 25 have, through which on the lid 23 falling down drink in the drip tray 24 can expire. So the drip tray 24 possible far below the outlet valve 16 and can catch any dripping drink, has the drip tray 24 and the lid 23 one to the outer shape of the sleeve-like receptacle 2 in its tubular configuration adapted recess 26 on. It is also conceivable, the bottom-side plug-like end piece 11 to train it as a drip tray 24 can serve, for example by having a corresponding recess and a corresponding outer shape.
