Beverage cooler with dispensing device, especially in a fitting shape

The innovation relates to beverage coolers with dispensing devices, especially those in barrel shape. Such Cooling containers contain a trough-shaped insert into which a vessel, e.g. a small one, containing the beverage Barrel or can, can be inserted from above.

This insert is also accommodated in the container by a Cooling unit of any kind.

By, the innovation is supposed to be the possible uses such beverage cooler can be expanded. This is achieved according to the invention in that the barrel lid in two concentric parts are subdivided, of which one part, which receives the dispensing device in its center, adapted to the diameter of the cooling insert "Smd forms an insert which can be separated from the other outer, annular cover part.

By removing this insert, the trough-shaped Kühleinsätζ in the beverage cooler freely accessible from above and Can be equipped with any bottles or the like, it then works like a normal wine or champagne cooler. To this The cooling container, which was previously only used for beverages that could be tapped, such as beer, can also be used for cooling as required other goods, not just liquids. Instead of the one in the middle with a breakthrough and the Devices for inserting and securing the insert provided with the tapping device can also be provided if necessary special, breakthrough-free insert piece can be provided that fully covers the cooling insert.

The insert must be fastened in the outer, ring-shaped cover part so that it can be removed when it is inserted or removed the dispensing device, which is in a known manner in the lid is fixed by a bayonet-like closure that becomes effective when twisting against this, not from the outside ring-shaped cover part solves. It is therefore useful in the outer cover part by a rotation relative to this preventing clamping or locking connection held.

The illustrations show an exemplary embodiment of the innovation,

Fig. 1 shows the innovation with inserted dispensing device, Fig. 2 with the insert removed as a bottle cooler.

1 with a barrel-shaped cooling container is referred to, the a trough-shaped, cooled insert accessible from above 2 and contains an invisible cooling unit or coolant.

A vessel containing the beverage, e.g. a can or a small keg, is inserted into this insert. For this purpose and also because of the accessibility to the cooling unit, the cover 3 of the passport is in a manner known per se as a hinged cover educated. The barrel lid 3 is through a concentric Section divided into two parts, an outer ring-shaped part 4- and a central insert piece 5 » which has an opening in its center for receiving a dispensing device 6 of known type, which is connected to a tap 7 and a receptacle for a carbon dioxide cartridge 8 and a control device 9 for the tap pressure is. This tapping device is in the center of the insert set by means of a bayonet-like closure. The The insert piece cannot be rotated in relation to this in the outer annular cover part 4, but is fastened releasably.

As FIG. 2 shows, when the insert is removed, the cooling insert, freely accessible from above, with bottles or other refrigerated goods are loaded. The diameter of the insert is expediently adapted to that of the cooling insert.
