Definitions

  • the invention relates to apparatus for providing a flow path, particularly between respective interiors of two members which are connected, or to be connected, with a flow path between them.
  • a drinks holder of the kind in which a flexible reservoir or bag of, say, liquid is held in a box, and the reservoir and box is to be connected to a dosing device for a measured distribution of the liquid from the reservoir in say a drinks machine.
  • Such boxes with reservoirs therein are replaceable and it is accordingly essential that the contents of the reservoir remain sealed until the box is mounted in a drinks machine ready to be dispensed.
  • apparatus for providing a flow path from a normally sealed container for flowable product in the container, comprising a mounting part adapted for mounting on a support part of the container and a part, movable with respect to the mounting part, adapted to pierce the container and to open a flow path through the apparatus.
  • the mounting part may comprise a bifurcated part, particularly a substantially horseshoe shaped part. This provides for ease of mounting.
  • the horseshoe shaped part may have means complementary with the support part of the container in use. This again provides ease of use.
  • the means may comprise a groove means and a spigot means of the horseshoe shaped part. This provides a positive sliding connection.
  • the mounting part and movable part may be screw-engageable. This provides a positive action.
  • the movable part may have an internal passage means with a projecting piercing tip part. This provides for one-stroke piercing.
  • the passage means may have an entry adjacent the piercing tip. This provides for free flow of product.
  • the entry may comprise two passage parts leading to the interior of the passage means. This provides for non-bridging of product on entry to the passage.
  • a container having mounted thereon apparatus as hereinbefore defined.
  • Apparatus for providing a flow path from a normally sealed container for flowable product in the container is hereinafter described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • Fig. 1 is a part schematic side elevational view of apparatus according to the invention in a non-piercing mode
  • Fig. 2 is a similar view to that of Fig. 1 , in a piercing mode.
  • apparatus 1 for providing a flow path from a normally sealed container 2 for flowable product, such as wine (not shown) in the container, which may be a normally hermetically sealed bag 2, part of which is shown in the Figures.
  • the bag 2 has secured to part of its surface a gland or support part 3 , the gland 3 being cylindrical and hollow and having two longitudinally spaced apart flanges 4 and 5, one 4 of which defines a seating or edge remote from the bag 2.
  • the apparatus 1 is for piercing the bag part 6 below (as viewed) the hollow interior of the gland 3, (the bag being shown intact in Fig. 1).
  • the apparatus 1 has a mounting part 7 of bifurcated horseshoe, in the embodiment, shape which has an annular groove means 9 for receiving the flange 4 and an annular spigot 10 which locates between the flanges 4 and 5. It will be understood that the apparatus 1 is mounted on the gland 3 by offering up the open part of the horseshoe 7 to the flanges 4 and 5 and pushing the apparatus 1 so that the groove 9 slides over the flange 4 and the spigot 10 slides between the flanges 4 and 5 until the gland 3 sits at the root or base of the horseshoe 7.
  • the movable part 11 also supports an internal passage means in the form of a centrally located body 14 which terminates in a piercing tip 15 which has an inlet defined by a pair of orifices 16 and two substantially parallel passage parts 17 leading to the passage 18, which itself leads to a connection 19 for a receptacle such as a hose which when mounted on the connection 19 or boss is connected via the passage 18 and passage parts 17 to the interior of the bag 6 to provide for product flow.
  • the passage part 14 has an external step or shoulder 20 which acts as a seat for seal means 21 such as an 'O'-ring.
  • seal means 21 such as an 'O'-ring.
  • the 'O'-ring 21 rests under pressure of screwing down on the upper (as viewed) surface of the flange 4, thereby ensuring that no product escapes laterally of the apparatus 1 at the gland 3.
  • the apparatus may provide a relatively massive construction, with a passage 14 of 32 mm diameter, say.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif (1) permettant de ménager un passage d'écoulement à partir d'un récipient (2) généralement hermétiquement fermé, pour un produit coulant, tel que du vin (non illustré) se trouvant dans le récipient, celui-ci pouvant être constitué par un sachet (2) généralement hermétiquement fermé dont une partie est illustrée dans les figures. Le sachet (2) comprend un chapeau ou une partie de support (3), le chapeau (3) étant cylindrique et creux et comprenant deux brides longitudinalement espacées (4 et 5), dont une (4) définit une surface d'appui ou un bord éloigné du sachet (2).
