Abstract
This spigot consists of a main body incorporating a
shut-off valve, one rear mouth and one front mouth;
the rear mouth may terminate in an end lid attached to
the same, or present different outer zones fitted with
means designed to provide a leak-proof connection
between the spigot and the container and, optionally,
a perforating device that allows a hole to be made in
the lid or wall of the container for attachment of the
spigot, or an accessory lid selected from among the
several with different diameters that are supplied
with the spigot, these lids incorporating a central
hole to allow attachment to the rear mouth of the
spigot and their subsequent immobilisation by the
means for sealing the connection.
Description
As its title indicates, the present invention
refers to a spigot destined to be attached to
containers and which presents on its rear part a
removable or fixed means to permit this attachment.
At present, it is a usual practice to use
containers for marketing liquids. These containers
generally present some means of closure consisting by
a lid that is screwed to the mouth of the container.
In addition, it may also include a seal that indicates
whether the container has been previously opened.
When these containers are of a certain volume, it
becomes difficult to handle them and to manage the
controlled pouring of their contents. In addition,
when the lid has been opened, breaking the seal, the
contents are exposed to the outside, allowing the
entry of insects, dust or any other foreign body.
The spigot applicable to containers, object of
the present invention, has been devised to resolve
these problems. It consists of a main body which
incorporates two mouths, one at each end, and a
revolving valve that, when operated, opens or closes
the passage through the inside of the main body.
According to the invention, the exterior of the
rear mouth of the spigot may present different zones
designed to permit the attachment of a device destined
to puncture the wall or lid of the container, a leak-proof
seal, and a pressure nut that acts on the
material of the container surrounding the hole made in
the container to establish a leak-proof seal of
connection between the rear mouth of the spigot and
the container.
This spigot therefore has an important advantage
which consists of the fact that when the spigot is
being fitted to the container, through puncturing the
wall or lid of the container, it is not necessary to
open the container nor break the seal on the lid,
eliminating any possibility of foreign bodies gaining
access to the container. Furthermore, it enables the
content of the container to be emptied in a controlled
way, by opening or closing the spigot, making it
unnecessary to invert the container in question.
In the event that the rear mouth defines certain
differentiated zones for the attachment of the
mentioned elements, these will be composed of: an end
part fitted with some means for attaching the
perforating device, a rear tapered part that acts as
an interior stop against the previously punctured wall
or lid of the container, a front tapered part for
attachment of the leak-proof seal, and a threaded part
for attachment of the pressure nut of the leak-proof
seal.
According to the invention, the perforating
device consists of a conical point whose base is made
up of, toward the front part, a cylindrical part that
terminates in a toothed edge and, toward the rear
part, some slightly divergent fins which define radial
grooves that allow liquid to pass into the interior of
the rear mouth of the spigot.
These fins have an internal attachment means that
fits onto that defined on the end of the rear mouth of
the spigot, allowing them to be coupled together by
pressure.
This attachment means between the end of the rear
mouth and the fins of the perforating device is
composed of a peripheral channel and internal teeth.
The fins of the perforating device define a
tapered surface which extends, once positioned on the
rear mouth of the spigot, over the tapered rear part
of the mouth.
The spigot is placed on the container by simply
perforating the wall or lid of the container using the
conical point. The perforating device is then turned
so that the toothed edge makes a hole in the material
of the wall or lid of the container. The device is
axially then pushed into the container so that the
hole is deformed by the tapered shape of the fins on
the perforating device and the tapered shape of the
rear part of the mouth. Once the tapered rear part has
passed through the hole, the elasticity of the
material used to form the container or the lid of the
same will cause the hole to close and form a seal
between the two tapered parts of the rear part of the
spigot.
In order to prevent any possible leak in the
joint, it is then necessary to screw down the nut
mounted on the threaded part of the rear mouth; this
nut will press the leak-proof seal against the outer
surface of the wall of the container.
According to the invention, the leak-proof seal
consists of a front circular part that extends toward
the rear of a curved lip of diminishing thickness.
The pressure nut that applies force to the seal
presents outer diametrically opposite wings to
simplify tightening by hand.
This spigot fitted with the perforating device
and the elements required to establish a leak-proof
union can be applied to the plastic lids of any
container and even to the container wall itself, in
the event that it is made of plastic material.
The spigot is to be supplied with several
accessory lids of different sizes that incorporate a
central hole of suitable size to permit attachment
between the rear and front tapered parts of the rear
mouth of the spigot, the area of the union between the
lid selected as accessory and the spigot being sealed
by the pressure applied to the leak-proof seal by the
pressure nut.
In the event that any of the accessory nuts that
accompany the spigot correspond with the mouth of the
container in question, it can be attached directly on
the rear mouth of the spigot as indicated, not being
necessary to use the perforating device to make a hole
in the wall or lid of the container. In this case, the
lid of the container is removed and the selected
accessory lid used to attach the spigot to the mouth
of the container.
In a variation in construction that provides
greater simplicity, the invention also envisages that
the rear mouth of the spigot could terminate in an
integrally formed fixed lid with a central hole
corresponding with the interior diameter of the rear
mouth. This arrangement presents some limitations in
use since the spigot will be only be able to be
attached to those containers whose mouth corresponds
with the fixed lid fitted to the rear mouth.
Nevertheless, this considerably simplifies the
manufacturing process for the spigot as it eliminates
the different areas of the rear mouth and the
different elements that fit onto this rear mouth.
The front mouth of the spigot incorporates in its
periphery attachment means for a screw-on pourer,
preferably in the shape of a tube with an elbow to
allow it to be directed downwards.
According to the invention, the complementary
attachment means provided in the front mouth of the
spigot and the pourer will be composed of an outer
ridge and an inner circular channel.
As a complement to the description being made and
in order to aid in a better understanding of the
characteristics of the invention this descriptive
report is accompanied by, as an integral part of the
same, a set of drawings, which with illustrative and
in no way restrictive character, show the following
details:
As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the spigot
object of the invention consists of a main body (1)
with an interior passage that unites the two mouths (2
and 3), rear and front respectively.
The main body houses a revolving valve (4)
operated by a butterfly nut (4a) which, when in the
open position connects the mouths (2) and (3), or when
in the closed position shuts off the passage inside
the main body.
The following differentiated zones are included
on the rear mouth (2): an end piece (2a), a rear
tapered part (2b), a front tapered part (2c) and a
threaded part (2d).
The threaded part (2d) is fitted with a nut (5);
the front tapered part (2c) with a leak-proof seal
(6); and the end part (2a) with a device (7) designed
to perforate the wall of the container in question (8)
and penetrate its interior.
The device (7) consists of a conical point (7a)
whose base is fitted, toward the front part, with a
cylindrical part (7b) that terminates in a toothed
edge (7c) and, toward the rear part, some slightly
divergent fins (7d), between which are some radial
grooves (7e) that form inlets allowing the liquid
contained inside the container (8) to pass into the
rear mouth (2) of the spigot.
These fins (7d) incorporate teeth (7f) on the
inner edge designed to fit into a peripheral groove
(2e) incorporated in the end part (2a) of the rear
mouth.
The device (7) is fitted to the rear mouth (2) by
applying pressure and, once attached, the rear tapered
part (2b) forms an extension of the surface defined by
the fins (7d).
This arrangement elements to fix the spigot to a
container (8) requires penetrating the wall or the lid
of the container with the point (7a) and then turning
the device (7) to make a hole in the wall of the
container (8) by the action of the toothed edge (7c).
Once this hole has been made, the device (7) must be
axially pressed toward the interior of the container,
so that the hole is deformed elastically by the
tapered shape of the fins (7d) and the tapered part
(2b). The hole then closes partially when it reaches
the zone between the tapered surfaces (2b) and (2c).
When this position is reached, the larger base of
the rear tapered part (2b) acts as a stop on the inner
surface of the material surrounding the hole. The
pressure nut (5) is then tightened to press the leak-proof
seal (6) against the outer surface of the
material (8), preventing the liquid from leaking
through the area of the union between the spigot and
the container.
As shown in figure 2, the front mouth (3) of the
spigot has a peripheral ridge (3a) that enables the
attachment of a pourer (9), with an internal circular
channel (9a).
The pourer (9) has the shape of a bent tube and
may be turned relative to the front mouth (3), so that
the outlet of the pourer points downwards,
independently of the position of the spigot, provided
its axis is horizontal.
The spigot may be accompanied by several
accessory lids (10); similar to those represented in
figures 4 and 5. These lids have different sizes to
enable attachment of the spigot to containers with
different sized mouths.
The lids (10) have a central hole whose size
allows passage of the rear tapered part (2b), with a
slight elastic deformation so that once the part (2b)
is introduced, the hole contracts due to the
elasticity of the material forming the lid (10)
locking it between the tapered parts (2b and 2c).
The union between the lid (10) and the mouth (2)
is made leak-proof by the action of the seal (6),
pressed by the pressure nut (5).
The lids (10) incorporate an internal cylindrical
prolongation (10b) designed to be fitted to the neck
of the container in question and means for fixing it
to the mouth of the container. This mounting means may
be by means of a ridge (10c), as shown in Figure 4,
that will fit onto the possible ridge around the
outside of the neck of the container, or an inner
screw thread (10d), as shown in Figure (5), that will
fit onto the screw thread on the mouth of the
container.
In the event of having an accessory lid which is
suitable to attach the spigot to the mouth of the
container in question, it will not be necessary to
mount the perforating device on the rear mouth of the
spigot.
Figure 6 shows a variation of the spigot in which
the rear mouth of the spigot does not have the
different areas mentioned in the previous examples. It
terminates in a lid (11), which is an integral part of
the spigot and with is designed to be attached to the
mouth of the container, fitting the spigot to the
container.
The lid (11) is provided with a central hole
(11a), which coincides with the passage through the
rear mouth.
It is not considered necessary to make this
description any more detailed as any expert in the
matter can understand the scope of the invention and
the advantages that it provides.
The terms in which this report has been drafted
are to be taken in widest sense and in no way
restrictive.
The materials, shape, size and arrangement of the
elements will be susceptible to variation provided
this does not imply any alteration of the essential
characteristics of the invention, as claimed below.
