Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns a device for connecting a bag containing a liquid product onto a machine, in particular for connecting a bag containing a liquid dairy product, a liquid vegetable product, or a combination of a dairy product with a vegetable product, onto a machine, such as a cream whipping machine, a soft-ice machine or such.
- The invention also concerns a bag for such a liquid product which can be used in conjunction with the above-mentioned device.
- In a specific case, the machine will consist of a cream whipping machine, whereby the above-mentioned liquid product is liquid cream.
- It is known not to pour liquid cream directly in the cooled room of a cream whipping machine, but to fill flexible containers in the form of bags with liquid cream in the dairy farm, after which such a bag can be placed in the cooled room of the cream whipping machine and connected onto the pump of the cream whipping machine. This offers great hygienic advantages, since the liquid cream has no direct contact -with the walls of the cooled room in any way whatsoever.
- The use of such flexible bags is already known, whereby these bags are always provided with a connecting piece -made of hard material onto which can be connected a hose by means of a suitable coupling, which is or can be connected in turn to the suction pump of the machine concerned.
- As the container consequently consists of different materials, namely a flexible part and a non-flexible part, its manufacturing is expensive.
- Moreover, a bag will have to be made for every type of cream whipping machine which is equipped with a suitable connecting piece in order to make it possible to connect it onto the suction line of the pump.
- It is clear that, with the above-mentioned devices, a specific connection will have to be provided which can be coupled in a suitable manner to the pump on the one hand and to the bag concerned with liquid cream on the other hand.
- Also, the present invention aims a device for connecting a bag containing a liquid product onto a machine which excludes the above-mentioned and other disadvantages of the known devices and the accompanying flexible bags.
- To this aim, the invention concerns a device for connecting a bag containing a liquid product onto a machine, which mainly consists of a flexible hose and a coupling which at least comprises a suction pipe, an insert element and a membrane.
- Further, the invention concerns a flexible bag which can be used with the above-mentioned device and which consists of an actual bag which, after it has been filled, is closed on the open end.
- In order to better explain the characteristics of the invention, the following preferred embodiment of a device for connecting a bag containing a liquid product onto a machine, and a bag used hereby, are described as an example only without being limitative in any way, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

-
- As represented in figure 1, a
cream whipping machine 1 mainly consists of ahousing 2 in which is provided apump 3, driven by amotor 4, whereby the output of thepump 3 is connected to adraining device 5, whereas the suction opening thereof is connected to aflexible bag 8 containing liquid cream by means of aflexible hose 6 and acoupling 7. - The
cream whipping machine 1 is mainly divided in a cooled room 9 which is connected to acooler 10 and aroom 11, in which saidcooler 10 is provided together with themotor 4. - As represented in figure 2, a device according to the invention mainly consists of the above-mentioned
hose 6 and thecoupling 7, whereby the latter is formed of aninsert element 12, amembrane 13 and asuction pipe 14, with which aconnection 15 can co-operate. - The
insert element 12 consists of acylindrical element 16, for example made of hard plastic, of which one far end has asharp point 17, whereas the other far end consists of acollar 18, whereby agroove 19 is provided in theelement 16 near thecollar 18. - The
insert element 12 is further provided with a bore over its entire length, which starts from the centre of the above-mentionedcollar 18 and opens next to the above-mentionedsharp point 17. - The
membrane 13 has the shape of a cylindrical cap, consisting of anupper wall 20 with arecessed part 21, and acylindrical wall 22 whose free edge has an inwardly directedcollar 23, such that themembrane 13 fits over thecollar 18 of theinsert element 12. - The
membrane 13 is made of flexible material, such as rubber, plastic, for example silicone, or such. - In the centre of the above-mentioned
recessed part 21, themembrane 13 can be made weaker or provided with prepared tearing lines or such. - The
suction pipe 14 consists of an actualtubular body 24 with an outer diameter which is equal to the diameter of the bore in theinsert element 12, whereby thebody 24 has asharp edge 25 on one far end, and the other far end is successively provided with acollar 26 and apart 27 made as a finger haft, in which is provided abore 28. - The length of the
body 24 will preferably be smaller than the entire length of theinsert element 12, minus the length of thepoint 17, as becomes clear from figure 4. - The
suction pipe 14 is preferably made of metal, for example stainless steel. - The device according to the invention is further completed by the
hose 6 which is provided with theconnection 15 on the one hand, which can co-operate with thebore 28 in thesuction pipe 14 in a suitable manner, and which is provided with aconnection 29 designed to co-operate with the suction side of thepump 3 on the other hand. - Finally, the bag for the
liquid product 8 is made of a flexible, yet strong plastic which in the given embodiment consists of anactual bag 8 which, after it has been filled with liquid cream in the dairy farm, is sealed on the open end, for example by means of heat-sealing. - Naturally, such a
bag 8 can also be formed starting with tubular material which is heat-sealed on one far end, and, after the filling of thebag 8 with liquid cream, by heat-sealing also the other far end of saidbag 8. - Preferably, the
bag 8 will be provided with a weakenedpart 30 in a specific place which may consist of a local thinning of the material. - The use of the device according to the invention is very simple and as follows.
- A
bag 8, as represented in figure 5, which is filled with cream in the dairy farm and which is hermetically sealed, is placed in the cooled room 9 of acream whipping machine 1, after which theinsert element 12 is provided through the wall of thebag 8, by means of thesharp point 17, whereby amembrane 13 is preferably provided beforehand on thisinsert element 12. - If the
bag 8 is provided with a weakenedpart 30, it is placed with thispart 30 up in the cooled room 9, and it is pricked through in this weakenedpart 30. - The shape and dimensions of the
insert element 12 are such that, when the wall of thebag 8 has been pricked through, no cream can flow away through the created opening. - The
groove 19 which is provided with thecylindrical element 16 near thecollar 18 makes sure that theinsert element 12 cannot slide back from thebag 8 due the pressure prevailing therein, since the wall of thebag 8 hooks in the above-mentionedgroove 19. - Moreover, the
membrane 13 makes sure that the cream cannot flow away from thebag 8 via the bore. - Next, the
suction pipe 14 will be provided in the bore of theinsert element 12 by pushing thesharp edge 25 of thesuction pipe 14 through therecessed part 21 of themembrane 13, whereby themembrane 13 envelops thebody 24 of thesuction pipe 14 such that a suitable sealing is automatically obtained. - As the length of the
tubular body 24 of thesuction pipe 14 is shorter than thecylindrical element 16 of theinsert element 12, we prevent thebag 8 from being sucked against theedge 25 of saidsuction pipe 14 while thepump 3 is working, which could result in a bad functioning of thecream whipping machine 1. - The above-mentioned
suction pipe 14 is then connected to the suction side of thepump 3 by means of theflexible hose 6, which is provided with theconnections motor 4 drives thepump 3, the latter will suck in the liquid cream from thebag 8 and supply it to thedraining device 5. - The above-described successive stages of the application of a
bag 8 in acream whipping machine 1 are represented in figures 6 to 8. - Since
uniform bags 8 are preferably used for all types ofcream whipping machines 1, for example with a content of one and a half to two litres, such abag 8 will be a whole lot smaller than the cooled room 9 of largecream whipping machines 1, as is represented for example in figures 9 and 10. - In order to prevent the
bag 8 from lying flat on the bottom of the cooled room 9 in this case, it can be provided in a container 31 which is specially designed to this end. - This container 31 consists of an
actual recipient 32 on the one hand, alid 33 to close off therecipient 32 on the other hand, whereby the latter is mainly formed ofside walls 34 and abottom wall 35 provided with reinforcements 36. - In one of the above-mentioned
side walls 34 is provided anopening 37, whereas also thelid 33 is provided with asimilar opening 39 in itsupper wall 38. - The
recipient 32 is made narrower towards the bottom, whereas the lower part of theside walls 34 has anadditional dip 40. - The use of such a container 31 is also very simple and as follows.
- A full, sealed
bag 8 containing liquid cream is provided in the container 31. - Given the dimensions of the cooled room 9, the container 31 can be placed upright, or it will be placed on one of its
side walls 34. - If the container 31 can be placed upright, the
insert element 12 is pricked through theopening 39 in thelid 33 and then through the wall of thebag 8, after which thesuction pipe 14 is inserted and theinsert element 12 is connected to the suction side of thepump 3 in the same manner as described above. - However, if the cooled room 9 is too low to place the container 31 upright, it is placed on a
side wall 34, and theinsert element 12 is provided through the wall of thebag 8 via the opening 37 in theside wall 34. - It is clear that in the above-mentioned manner is obtained a device which can be used in practically any
cream whipping machine 1. - Naturally, it is not excluded, as mentioned above, to use a device according to the invention in another machine than a cream whipping machine, for example a machine for processing another dairy product, a liquid vegetable product, or a combination of a dairy product and a vegetable product, such as a soft-ice machine or such.
- The invention is by no means limited to the above-described embodiments represented in the accompanying drawings; on the contrary, such a device and a bag can be made in all sorts of shapes and dimensions while still remaining within the scope of the invention.
