Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a drinks barrel arrangement with an outer drum and a beverage container arranged inside the outer drum for holding a beverage.

For storage of beverages, especially wine, beer, effervescent and whiskey or other high-proof drinks, barrels of wood, metal or plastic are often used. For longer storage and maturation of drinks, the use of rustic wooden barrels is known.

For use in the catering industry are usually reusable drums, which were developed specifically for industrial filling and the germ-free storage of drinks used. Returnable drums are often made of metal, especially stainless steel. They can be easily connected to preinstalled dispensers in the catering industry. The use of rustic wooden barrels, however, is rather rare in gastronomy for practical reasons.

In gastronomy and especially on certain occasions there is often the desire to use rustic wooden barrels.

State of the art

Beer dispensers, for example, which are firmly embedded or integrated in tables for guest rooms and the like, are known, so that the guests seated at the respective table can retrace their own beer. Beer kegs with a rustic exterior, such as wooden beer kegs, can be used.

From the DE 1 991 889 U For example, a draft beer dispensing system with a wooden barrel used only as a dummy is known, the upper bottom of the wooden barrel is removed and the actual beer-filled barrel is inserted into the wooden barrel.

The DE 7 315 407 shows a beer keg stand with a plate for small wooden barrels that can hold beer canisters.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: Problem, Solution, Advantages

The object of the present invention is to provide a beverage barrel arrangement with a rustic exterior as possible, in which a beverage container for holding drinks, in particular beer, wine or barrel spray, can be used for mobile use in a simple and very flexible manner.

According to the invention, a beverage keg arrangement with an outer keg and a beverage container arranged inside the outer keg for receiving the beverage is proposed for this purpose, wherein the keg arrangement is movable, in particular movable.

For the purposes of the present invention, a beverage barrel arrangement is understood to mean an arrangement for storing and removing, for example, for tapping, a drink, for example beer, effervescent or wine. In order to achieve a rustic appearance, it is preferably provided that the outer barrel has a wood look or is designed as a wooden barrel. Under a wooden barrel is a preferably bulbous barrel to understand, which consists essentially of wood elements.

The beverage barrel arrangement according to the invention is designed to be mobile. For this purpose, the drinks barrel arrangement is movable or in particular movable and can thus be approached in a simple manner for removal, for example, to tap the drink to a table or moved to the table. For the purposes of the present invention, "movable" is to be understood as meaning that the mobile beverage barrel arrangement can be moved, pushed or rolled in a simple manner.

Advantageously, the Getränkefassanordnung to process rolling or wheels. For this purpose, the rollers or wheels can be arranged below the outer barrel. Particularly preferably, the drinks barrel arrangement has more than two and less than five, for example three or four, rollers or wheels. It is also preferably provided that the rollers or wheels can be locked or locked by locking means. This has the advantage that the beverage keg arrangement is not only designed to be mobile and can be pushed in a simple manner, for example, to tables, but also during the removal of the drink can stand firm next to or at the respective table. An undesirable back and forth roles during the removal of the beverage, for example during the pin is thus avoided.

The beverage barrel assembly further preferably comprises a stand fixedly or releasably connected to the outer barrel. The advantageously provided stand serves to make the outer barrel higher. This facilitates the operation of the beverage keg arrangement during the removal of the beverage. The outer drum can be screwed to the stand or screwed onto the stand or just clamped.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the rollers or wheels are arranged on the stand. For example, the rollers or wheels can be arranged on the underside of the stand, in particular on the foot ends of the stand. This has the advantage that the entire drinks barrel arrangement can be moved or moved toward the table together with the stand.

The stand preferably has a plurality of feet and a plate connected to the feet. Here, the outer barrel is placed with its bottom plate on the plate of the stand. For this purpose, the outer barrel can be placed on the stand or the plate of the stand in a simple manner. Furthermore, the outer barrel could be fixedly mounted on the plate of the stand or firmly connected to the plate of the stand, for example glued, screwed, nailed or jammed, his.

A lower edge of the outer barrel is preferably frontally over the bottom plate, such that the lower edge surrounds the plate of the stator circumferentially. For this purpose, it is preferably provided that the diameter of the plate of the stator is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the bottom plate of the outer barrel. The outer barrel is held particularly advantageous on the stand and does not slip so easily back and forth or at least not from the plate of the stand due to the downwardly projecting edge.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the outer barrel has vertically aligned and circumferentially juxtaposed wooden staves, which are held together by circumferentially arranged around the wooden staves and horizontally aligned barrel hoops. Wooden staves are to be understood as longitudinal woods. The front ends of the wooden staves form the upper and lower edge or the upper and lower edge of the outer barrel. A variety of juxtaposed and vertically aligned wooden staves forms the outer surface of the outer barrel. This gives the outer barrel a rustic wood look. The barrel tires are preferably made of metal, particularly preferably of steel, and hold the staves together. The barrel tires are this preferred belt-like or ring-like design.

The outer barrel further preferably comprises a removable lid. The lid may merely be laid on or placed on or otherwise releasably connected to the top of the outer barrel with this. This is to be understood that the removable lid is placed on the upper end side or the upper edge or the upper edge of the outer barrel or releasably connected.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that projections are arranged on an underside of the removable lid, which protrude into the outer barrel. Particularly preferably, more than two, and most preferably more than three, for example four, projections are provided on the underside of the removable lid, all of which protrude into the outer barrel. By arranged on the underside of the removable lid projections slipping of the lid on the top of the outer drum can be avoided. For this purpose, the projections projecting into the outer barrel are particularly preferably in direct contact with the inner surface of the outer barrel in the region of its upper edge. This can completely prevent slipping of the removable lid on the top of the outer drum. Furthermore, in such a particularly preferred embodiment, the removable lid could easily be jammed with the upper rim of the outer drum.

Characterized in that a removable cover is provided on the outer drum, which does not slip so easily due to the projecting into the outer barrel projections, the lid or its top can also be used as storage, for example, small table top. For example, glasses containing the drinks can be placed on top of them. For this purpose, the top of the removable lid is preferably formed as a flat surface.

It is particularly preferably further provided that a peripheral edge of the removable lid is chamfered. The removable lid is then preferably with the beveled edge the upper edge or the upper front edge of the outer barrel. For this purpose, the removable lid has a diameter which is preferably larger than the inner diameter of the outer barrel in the region of its upper edge. The diameter of the removable lid is thus preferably larger than the smallest inner diameter of the outer barrel. The lid is thus preferably on the upper edge or the upper end edge of the outer barrel and is not, such as the bottom plate from the lower edge, enclosed by the upper edge.

Advantageously, it is further provided that an upper edge of the outer drum has an end-side recess for receiving or for performing a tap. Under a front-side recess in the upper edge of the outer barrel is to be understood that the recess is open on the front side. The recess is thus preferably arranged as a kind of groove or groove-like in the upper edge or the upper edge of the outer barrel. From the removable lid, the upwardly open recess is preferably covered. The provision of this recess has the advantage that the tap can be inserted from above into the recess. Thus, for example, a commercial tap head connected to a tap can be placed on a valve of the beverage container. The tap itself or the connection between the tap and tap head can then be guided or inserted in a very simple manner in the recess open from above. A cumbersome or complicated connection through openings in the wall of the outer drum up to the valve of the beverage container is therefore not necessary.

The recess has a length which is preferably less than ¼ of a height of the outer barrel. The length of the recess is to be understood as meaning the extent of the recess along the height of the outer drum. Particularly preferably, it is provided that the length of the recess is smaller than 1/5 of the height of the outer barrel. Thus, the recess is advantageously arranged only in the region of the upper edge. When using commercial keg beer kegs as a beverage container with valve on the top, it is possible to put the tap head in a simple manner on top of the valve and at the same time insert the tap or the connection between the tap head and tap in the recess. A complex construction between valve and tap omitted.

Advantageously, the beverage container plastic or metal, in particular stainless steel, on or consists thereof. Furthermore, the beverage container may have a casing, for example of rubber or plastic.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the beverage container is designed as a barrel and thus as an inner barrel. For example, the beverage container may be designed as a keg beer keg. A keg beer keg advantageously has a valve arranged centrally on its upper side.

Around the beverage container around at least one cooling element is advantageously arranged. The at least one cooling element is used for cooling or keeping the beverage in the beverage container cool. The at least one cooling element is arranged between the inside of the outer drum and the outside of the beverage container, for example the keg beer keg. Particularly preferably, the at least one cooling element is arranged completely around the beverage container. Cooling elements may be formed, for example, as foam elements and / or Schütteis and / or cooling pads.

The beverage container preferably has a print cartridge, through which a gas supply is provided during a removal, in particular during tapping, of the beverage. This has the advantage that no additional print cartridge or gas supply unit is required, which allows a particularly simple and flexible beverage barrel arrangement.
