    • Wie sich aus den Figuren der Zeichnung ergibt, besteht die Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung aus einem Gehäuse 1, das an der Unterseite einen rohrförmigen Ansatz 2 aufweist. In das Gehäuse 1 münden ein Reinigungsmittelanschluß 3 und ein Getränkeanschluß 4.As can be seen from the figures of the drawing, the device consists according to the invention from a housing 1, the one at the bottom has tubular extension 2. A detergent connection opens into the housing 1 3 and a drink connection 4.

    Die Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung ist mit dem rohrförmigen Ansatz 2 in den zylinderförmigen Anstichstößel 5 eines beliebigen Zapfkopfes gleitend eingesetzt. Der Zapfkopf 6 und der Hebel 7 zur Betätigung des Anstichstößels 5 sind gestrichelt dargestellt. Der Reinigungsmittelanschluß 3 ist mit einem Spülrohr 8 verbunden, das im Inneren des rohrförmigen Ansatzes 2 zentrisch angeordnet ist und in dessen Innerem sich die Spülmittelflüssigkeit befindet.The device according to the invention is with the tubular extension 2 sliding in the cylindrical tappet 5 of any tap head used. The dispensing head 6 and the lever 7 for actuating the tapping plunger 5 are shown in dashed lines. The detergent connection 3 is connected to a flushing pipe 8, which is inside the tubular extension 2 is arranged centrally and inside the detergent liquid located.

    Das Gehäuse 1 ist mittels eines Befestigungsbügels 9 mit dem Zapfkopf 6 verbunden. Der Anstichstößel 5 ist über die Überwurfmutter 10 mit dem rohrförmigen Ansatz 2 verbunden.The housing 1 is connected to the tap head 6 by means of a fastening bracket 9 connected. The plunger 5 is on the union nut 10 with the tubular approach 2 connected.

    Der Anstichstößel 5 kann mittels des Hebels 7 in zwei Stellungen, nämlich die Schankstellung (Fig. 1) und die abgeschlagene Stellung (Fig. 2), gebracht werden.The plunger 5 can by means of the lever 7 in two positions, namely the dispensing position (Fig. 1) and the cut position (Fig. 2) brought become.

    Am unteren Ende des Spülrohres 8 sind in einem Betätigungsgehäuse 11 zwei Rückschlagsicherungen 12, 13 untergebracht, die mittels des Betätigungsstiftes 14,15 betätigt werden können. An der Unterseite weist das Betätigungsgehäuse noch ein Spülrohrunterteil 16 und einen O-Ring 17 auf.At the lower end of the flushing pipe 8 are in an actuating housing 11 two kickback protections 12, 13 housed by means of the actuating pin 14.15 can be operated. At the bottom it shows Actuating housing also a flushing pipe lower part 16 and an O-ring 17th on.

    Die Funktionsweise der Vorrichtung gemäß Fig. 1, d. h. in der angeschlagenen Stellung oder Schankstellung, ist wie folgt. Befindet sich der Zapfkopf in der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Position, so kann das Getränk über die Öffnung 18 aus dem Getränkebehälter entnommen werden. Das Getränk fließt dann am Anschlußstößel 2 durch den Getränkekanal 19 aus dem Getränkeanschluß 4 in die Getränkeleitung und von dort über den Zapfhahn in das Glas. In dieser Position ist der Reinigungskanal durch das Rückschlagventil 13 in Richtung Getränkeleitung blockiert. Über das Rückschlagventil 12 ist ein Eintreten von Getränk in den Reinigungskanal der Leitung 8 blockiert.The operation of the device according to FIG. 1, i. H. in the battered Position or bar position is as follows. The dispensing head is located in the position shown in Fig. 1, the drink can be on the Opening 18 can be removed from the beverage container. The drink then flows on the plunger 2 through the beverage channel 19 from the Beverage connection 4 into the beverage line and from there via the tap in the glass. In this position the cleaning channel is through the Check valve 13 blocked in the direction of the beverage line. About the Check valve 12 is an entry of drink into the cleaning channel the line 8 blocked.

    In der abgeschlagenen, d. h. der Reinigungsposition gemäß Fig. 2 kann über ein angeschlossenes Reinigungssystem und den Reinigungsmittelanschluß 3 das Ausschanksystem mit Getränkeleitung gereinigt werden. Der Anstichstößel 5 drückt den Betätigungsstift 14, 15 gegen das Rückschlagventil 13 und öffnet es. In diesem Augenblick kann über den Reinigungsmittelanschluß 3 Reinigungsmittel in den Getränkekanal 19 über den Getränkeanschluß 4 in die Getränkeleitung gelangen, wodurch das gesamte Ausschanksystem gereinigt werden kann.In the chipped, d. H. the cleaning position shown in FIG. 2 via a connected cleaning system and the detergent connection 3 cleaned the dispensing system with beverage line become. The tappet 5 presses the actuating pin 14, 15 against the Check valve 13 and opens it. At this moment, the Detergent connection 3 Detergent in the beverage channel 19 get into the beverage line via the beverage connection 4, whereby the entire dispensing system can be cleaned.

    Wie sich aus den Figuren der Zeichnung ferner ergibt, ist über der Überwurfmutter 10 ein ringförmiger Dauermagnet 20 angeordnet, der mit einem Reed-Relais 21 zusammenarbeitet, um auf diese Weise einen automatischen Ablauf des Reinigungsvorgangs zu gewährleisten.As can also be seen from the figures of the drawing, is over the union nut 10 an annular permanent magnet 20 arranged with a Reed relay 21 works together to make an automatic To ensure the course of the cleaning process.

    Der Zapfkopf 6 kann auch mit automatischer Betätigung, z. B. durch Elektromotor oder Hydraulik bzw. Pneumatik, ausgerüstet sein.The dispensing head 6 can also be operated automatically, e.g. B. by Electric motor or hydraulics or pneumatics.

    Die Vorteile der Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung bestehen darin, daß die Reinigung des gesamten Ausschanksystems mit dem gleichen Betätigungshebel eingeleitet werden kann, mit dem das Ausschenken eingeleitet wird. Ferner ist die Reinigung bei Verwendung des Reed-Relais oder eines anderen Näherungsschalters auch automatisch durchzuführen.The advantages of the device according to the invention are that the Cleaning of the entire dispensing system with the same operating lever can be initiated with which the serving is initiated becomes. Cleaning is also possible when using the reed relay or another proximity switch can also be carried out automatically.
