DE3618171A1 - System tapping device for beer barrels and 5 l party cans - Google Patents

Abstract

It has only been possible to tap beer barrels with the party beer barrel tapping devices known to date. In order to be able to use such a party beer barrel tapping device for 5 l party cans as well, a beer tapping head has been devised which is provided with two channels (for beer and compressed gas) and a pressure pick-up reception device for an external pressure pick-up.

Description

The invention relates to a tap for beer kegs with which you can also 5 l party Can tap beer cans.

At social events and parties there is more and more fashion, beer tap up to 50 l from the right beer kegs.

For these party tapping purposes, tapping devices are gem. Sketch I on the market, which consist of a tap head 7 with pressure sensor 4 , and a riser pipe 13 fastened to the tap head 7 with a beer tap 12 .

The pressure transmitter 4 is operated for this purpose with disposable Co2 capsules, which are commercially available in sizes up to 45 g.

The pressure from the pressure sensor 4 is blown into the barrel via corresponding channels of the barrel dispensing head 7 . The beer rises into the riser pipe 13 via another channel of the keg tap 7 and from there it reaches the tap 12 .

Since such dispensers can only be used for beer kegs, the consumer must If you need smaller quantities (e.g. 5 l beer in the 5 l party can) another dispenser purchase, because the demand is not always as high as for larger parties.

The invention has set itself the task of creating a barrel dispenser with whose help you can get beer from 5 liter party cans in the simplest way and at no extra cost can tap.

To achieve this object, a beer dispensing head 1 is created according to the invention, in which not only the beer passes through, as in the normal keg tapping devices according to sketch I, but also compressed gas can be transported through a second channel, separate from the beer passage. According to the beer tap head 1 receives a pressure transducer 3 for an external pressure transducer 4th

The invention shown in the sketch II consists of the beer tap head 1 with pressure sensor 3 , the riser pipe connection 11 and the riser pipe 2 . In the riser pipe connection 11 is the beer channel A and the separate pressure channel B , which opens into the pressure sensor 3 . The total length of the riser pipe connection 11 and riser pipe 2 (L) is carried out so that it corresponds exactly to the length of the riser pipes, as is required for 5 l cans. To tap beer kegs, the riser pipe 2 is inserted into the compression fitting of the union nut 9 and thus connected to the beer outlet 10 .

The union nut 6 of the pressure sensor 4 is screwed onto the pressure sensor receptacle 8 of the drum tap head 7 . A corresponding CO2 capsule is screwed in with the CO2 capsule holder 5 and made ready for operation.

Just as for the device acc. Sketch I described, compressed gas is blown into the beer keg through the keg tap head 7 , while the beer runs through the beer outlet 10 into the riser pipe 2 and from there through the beer channel A into the keg tap head 1 .

If now a 5 liter party can be tapped instead of a beer keg with the inventive system-tapper, the pressure transmitter 4 from the barrel-pin head 7 is unscrewed and screwed on the previously unused print encoder acquisition. 3

With the riser 2 , the 5 l party beer can is now pierced, the riser connection 11 is inserted into the rubber stopper of the 5 l can until it stops.

The pressure channel B has its outlet opening directly above the beer surface inside the can.

With pressure transmitter 4 , pressure is now blown via channel B into the 5 l party can.

Beer rises through the riser pipe 2 through the beer channel A into the beer tap head 1 . The beer tap head 1 is attached to the can with the aid of a simple wire clip, in order to prevent the riser pipe 2 from being catapulted out by the barrel pressure.

Due to the design according to the invention, it is now possible to use only the slightest additional costs for a safety wire bracket with a party barrel tap now also draw 5 l party beer cans.
