Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for tapping beer from containers, in particular cans, with a housing that can be fixed on the container, with an outlet that can be closed by a nozzle, with an air pump or another gas pressure generator, with an attached to the housing that can be inserted into the container the spout connected to the spout, forming a beer outflow channel and with lateral air outlet openings on the spout tube, the air supplied by the air pump being able to be introduced separately from the beer through the spout tube out of the air outlet openings into the container above the beer level.
  • the piercing pipe contains, as part of the beer outflow channel, a thin metal rising pipe which extends over the entire length of the piercing pipe and has an inner diameter of approximately 3 mm. Since the total amount of beer drawn from a relatively wide outlet end of the beer outflow channel has to pass through the relatively narrow and long riser, the beer in this tube has a very high flow rate, which leads to a strong carbon dioxide release during the tap process, so that at the outlet end of the beer outlet channel an undesirably high proportion of foam is present, the overall tap speed of the beer is only relatively low.
  • the flow cross section of the beer outflow channel in the piercing pipe is essentially determined over its entire length by the inside diameter of this pipe, and that only in the upper region of the piercing pipe is a thin-walled sleeve of smaller outside diameter than the inside diameter of the piercing pipe provided. which separates the beer outflow channel from the flow path of the supplied air and is sealed against this channel below the air outlet openings.
  • the dispensing device for beer or other carbonated drinks shown in FIG. 1 comprises a housing 1 with an arm 2 directed to the right in FIG. 1, inside which a beer outflow line formed by a hose 3 runs, which in turn runs at an outlet end 4 of the arm 2 leads into the open.
  • a housing-fixed nose 5 and a resiliently movable nose 6 are provided, with the aid of which the housing 1 can be clipped onto the upper edge 7 of a can 8 filled with beer or the like in a manner known per se, which is closed on its cover 9 by a stopper 11.
  • a piercing tube 12 projects downward from the housing 1, the length of which corresponds approximately to the height of the can 8. With this piercing tube 12, the appropriately designed plug 11 is pierced in a manner known per se. The piercing tube 12 is then pushed through the stopper 11 until the housing 1 can be clipped onto the can rim 7 by means of the lugs 5, 6. The lower opening 13 of the piercing tube 12 is then located just above the bottom of the can 8.
  • the housing 1 also carries on its upper side an air pump 15 with a stationary piston housing 16, on the outside of which a hood 17 with a grip part 18 which slides over the housing is slidable.
  • a circular disk-shaped, flexible membrane 19 is arranged on the upper side of the piston housing 16 and its outer edge lies against the inside of the hood 17.
  • a compressed air line for example in the form of a hose 21, is also provided, which is connected to a check valve 22 which is firmly connected to the upper wall of the piston housing 16.
  • the edge of the membrane 19 detaches from the inside of the hood 17 and air flows from outside and below into the air formed between the top of the piston housing 16 and the inside of the hood 17 Space. If the hood 17 is now pushed down again, the edge of the membrane 19 forms a seal against the hood 17 and the air between the piston housing 16 and the hood 17 is transferred via the check valve 22 into the compressed air line formed by the hose 21.
  • a distributor piece 25 which projects freely with a sleeve 26 projecting downward into the uppermost region of the piercing tube 12, forming a relatively wide annular gap between the outer wall of the sleeve and the inner wall of the piercing tube.
  • the distributor piece 25 contains a nozzle at the top 27, which can be actuated via a pivot lever 28 mounted on the housing.
  • the nozzle valve 27 is pressed by a spring 29 sealingly against the upper edge of the sleeve 26. When the lever 28 is depressed, the valve 27 lifts off its seat on the sleeve 26.
  • a first hose nipple 31 for connection to hose 21 and a second hose nipple 32 for connection with hose 3 are also formed on distributor piece 25.
  • the piercing tube 12 is screwed with an external thread into an internal thread of a sleeve 33 which is also formed on the distributor piece 25, an annular seal 35 being inserted between the sleeve 33 and a collar 34 on the piercing tube 12.
  • the piercing tube 12 has lateral air outlet openings 36 which, in the operating state of the device, lie below the stopper 11 and above the level 37 of the liquid in the can 8. Below these air outlet openings 36, the lower edge of the sleeve 26 is sealed against the inner wall of the piercing tube 12 by means of an annular seal 38.
  • the air flows through the hose 21, the nipple 31, the annular space between the piercing pipe 12 and the sleeve 26 and the air outlet openings 36 into the space between the liquid level 37 and the can lid 9.
  • the liquid in the can is pressurized from above, so that it is inside the piercing tube 12 rises, enters the sleeve 26 and fills it up to the nozzle 27.
  • the sleeve 26 mediates a separation between the supplied air and the liquid. If the dispensing valve 27 is now opened by actuating the lever 28, liquid (beer) passes through the hose line 3 to the outside into a vessel under the effect of the prevailing air pressure.
  • the described design of the dispensing device has the following advantages over the prior art: a special, narrow riser pipe, which extends over the entire length of the piercing pipe 12, is omitted.
  • the cross section of the beer outflow channel is practically determined by the relatively large inner diameter of the piercing tube 12, the likewise still relatively large inner diameter of the sleeve 26 and the likewise large diameter of the hose line 3. Since the draft beer does not have to overcome narrow areas on its way from the can via the tapping tube 12 and the sleeve 26, it flows in relatively large quantities at a low speed to the outlet end 4 of the device. As a result, the beer releases practically no carbon dioxide when it passes through the piercing tube 12 and the sleeve 26. It can therefore be tapped without foaming. The foam only forms from the amount of beer that has already flowed into the vessel to be filled. It is therefore possible to tap around 30% faster than devices with the narrow riser mentioned.
  • Inner diameter of the piercing pipe 12 between 8 and 10 mm
  • Outer diameter of the sleeve 26 between 7.5 and 9.5 mm
  • Inner diameter of the sleeve 26 maximum 9 mm.
  • Particularly preferred values are 9, 8 and 6 mm for the inside diameter of the piercing tube 12, the outside diameter of the sleeve 26 and the inside diameter of this sleeve.
  • the annular space mediating the air supply between piercing tube 12 and sleeve 26 also has a relatively large cross-sectional area, so that the compressed air supply is also facilitated and improved.
  • the sleeve 26 forming part of the distributor piece 25 is firmly connected to the housing 1.
  • the sleeve 26, which effects the separation of air and beer could also be formed separately from the other functional parts of the distributor piece 25, namely the nipples 31, 32 and the receptacle for the nozzle valve 27.
  • FIG. 3 a sleeve 126 corresponding to the sleeve 26 in FIG. 1 is inserted into the piercing tube 12 and firmly and sealed connected to the tube 12 below the air outlet openings 26.
  • a seal is made on the device housing 1 in a conventional manner.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 3 functions just like the embodiment according to FIG. 1.
  • the sleeve 126 can also be inserted as a loose intermediate part between the piercing tube 12 and the housing 1.
  • the nipples 31, 32 and the receptacle for the nozzle valve 27 are then embodied in another manner in the housing, in which the piercing pipe 12, e.g. can be used by a screw connection.
  • the air pump 14 described in connection with FIG. 1 with the manually displaceable hood 17 can also be replaced by another gas pressure generator, for example by a carbon dioxide cartridge.
  • the hose 21 forming the compressed air supply line is arranged between the nipple 31 of the distributor piece 25 and the stationary piston housing 16 of the air pump 15.
  • the check valve 22 is inserted into this hose 21 at its end facing the piston housing 16. This achieves the advantages that the hose end, which the check valve 22 contains, firmly sealed in its intended receptacle 41 and at the same time the check valve 22 is fixed to the piston housing 16. This makes training and assembly of the pump particularly simple because a special receiving device for the check valve 22, which previously had to be provided, is dispensed with.
  • the hose 21 can also be replaced by another compressed air line, for example also a rigid line.
  • the check valve 22 has a plurality of circumferential, sawtooth-like ribs 42 for sealing and fixing at its upper end.
