Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cask or container for liquid under pressure, and is of the type defined in the preamble to claim 1.
  • French specification 1468211 discloses a housing welded, i.e. integrally secured to the wall of the cask at the bung hole outlet.
  • the housing serves to retain the extractor tube head and valve assembly comprising a self contained unit which drops into the housing complete and which is held by a threaded ring.
  • This ring also forms the coupling for the top fitting.
  • the arrangement requires a number of parts and furthermore the extractor tube complete with valve can be easily removed by unscrewing the threaded ring. It is necessary to arrange for removal of the valve assembly and tube for cleaning purposes, and refilling.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a simplified construction for mounting the valve seal and extractor tube in which no additional metal inserts or retainers are used, and which results in a construction which is substantially tamper-proof in that it is difficult without a special tool, to remove the extractor tube.
  • the use of a liner is dispensed with.
  • the extractor tube can be removed only by upsetting the sealing ring to remove same, and then removing the extractor tube which calls for the use of a special tool to engage the head.
  • the top wall 10 of the container has a bung hole 11 and a housing 12 is secured around the hole by welding.
  • the housing has a skirt portion 13 with an inturned flange 13a.
  • a bush 14 engages in the flange by screw threads and the extractor tube 15 is secured to the bush or preferably moulded thereto, the bush and tube being of synthetic plastic material.
  • a collar 16 seats on the upper surface of the flange 13a and a compression spring 20 extends between this collar and a cup seat 17 for a ring seal 18, so that unless the cask has been broached the seal engages by its periphery a seating 12a and the undercut top of the extractor tube head 15a of the tube 1 5.
  • the skirt is gapped, e.g. at 19, to allow gas under pressure to enter the cask after the dispenser head has been fitted and the cask broached this also depressing the ring seal against its spring loading.
  • the seal is upset and removed and the tube, head and bush unscrewed.
  • a special tool is required for this operation e.g. one to engage in the liquid outlet apertures 15b of the head.

1. Tonneau pour liquide sous pression, comportant un boîtier (12) pouvant être fixé à la paroi supérieure (10) de ce tonneau à une sortie de tonneau en forme de trou de bonde (11) de manière à faire saillie autour de ce trou, le boîtier (12) comportant une jupe (13) qui pend dans le tonneau et supportant un tube (15) d'extraction de liquide, lequel traverse le boîtier pour pénétrer à l'intérieur du tonneau, le tube (15) d'extraction comportant une tête (15a) située dans le boîtier et une bague d'étanchéité (18) ainsi qu'un ressort (20) de charge égagalement logé dans le boîtier autour de la tête du tube d'extraction, la périphérie de la bague d'étanchéité étant au contact d'un siège (12a) à l'intérieur et à l'extrémité supérieure du boîtier, le sommet de la tête (15a) du tube d'extraction étant logé dans la bague (18) d'étanchéité qui peut être abaissée dans le boîtier à l'encontre de l'action du ressort de charge pour établir des passages de communication dans ce boîtier vers le tonneau, la jupe (13) présentant un rebord (13a) tourné vers l'intérieur et qui est vissé da façon amovible sur un manchon (14) fileté fixé sur le tube (15) d'extraction, le boîtier (12) étant d'un seul tenant avec la paroi (10) du tonneau à laquelle il est fixé de façon non amovible, l'ouverture pratiquée au niveau du siège à l'extrémité supérieure du boîtier laissant passer le manchon (14) avec le tube (15) d'extraction après dégagement du rebord (13a), ce qui permet d'enlever le tube d'extraction sans enlever le boîtier, tonneau caractérisé en ce que la jupe (13) fait partie intégrante du boîtier (12), de sorte qu'on ne peut enlever le tube (1 5) d'extraction du boîtier (12) qu'en dévissant le manchon (14) du rebord (13a) de la jupe (13).
2. Tonneau selon la revendication 1, dans lequel le manchon (14) et le tube (15) d'extraction de liquide sont réalisés d'un seul bloc en une matière plastique de synthèse.
3. Tonneau selon la revendication 1 ou 2, dans lequel un collier (16) du manchon (14) s'appuie sur la surface supérieure de la partie interne du rebord (13a), un ressort de compression (20) s'étendant entre ce collier (16) et une cuvette (17) formant siège s'appuyant sur la bague (18) d'étanchéité, la périphérie de cette bague étant élastiquement sollicitée contre le siège (12a) à l'extrémité supérieure du boîtier (12), le collier (16) ayant un diamètre inférieur au diamètre de la lumière du siège (12a).
