Definitions

• the invention relates to a method to provide conventional tap valves (mixer taps one-hand or two-hand lever) with a second tap outlet in order to remove soda water or soft drinks via the additional second tap outlet.
• soda water and soft drinks can be withdrawn via a dispensing valve.
• the novelty of the invention is that e.g. a normal kitchen tap is converted by the new second tap outlet so that it is possible at the place where the conventional tap is placed (in most cases in the sink area) at this
• same cold water supply can be supplied with cold water.
• the conventional tap (mixer tap) (not shown) is from the
• the novel second tap outlet is placed on the space above the recess where the old nozzle (mixing valve) was previously installed, and the new additional tap outlet is shown first as a seat).
• the additional tap outlet is designed so that there is enough space for the supply line for the new tap outlet and also for the old valve (nozzle) as well as for the fastening parts for the old tap and that is available as an empty sleeve with integrated tap outlet
• the aforementioned empty sleeve can also be constructed in such a way, and this is inventively solved such that this sleeve, which can be made of metal or other materials, has an integrated holder for a tap spout that the tap outlet can be removed from, and thus as a holder used for the tap outlet.
• this second tap outlet has its own attachment option or is brought to a secure stop by the existing attachment options of the old tap (mixer tap).
• the rigid connection between the fitting and the novel second tap outlet is responsible for the removal of soda water and soft drinks and the worktop (sink) is given by the fact that the old dispensing valve continues to pivot independently of the second tap outlet of the old tap spout can be used (not illustrated).
• the innovative second tap spout has a special feature that was inventively resolved so that the tap outlet is used for soda water and soft drinks or has an integrated compensator for only filtered or cleaned tap water
• This compensator then also has the function of taking over the closure and opening options for the user.
• the compensator in the tap outlet in front of the outlet for soda water, cleaned tap water or soft drinks by mechanical operation which sits on the tap outlet to actuate the compensator cylinder, which can also be conical to open or close the cylinder mentioned To use liquid flow.
• Movement types are conceivable to move the directions with the liquid flow to the tap outlet or against the liquid flow.
• the advantage of this solution is that the user of the new second tap outlet (or as a single stand-alone tap outlet) can adjust various types of soda water through the tap outlet thanks to various adjustment options of the compensator (cylinder with matching cylinder guide).
• the tap spout with integrated compensator and operation for closing and opening as well as regulating the liquid flow rate can consist of two parts, from holder and removable tap outlet with integrated movable compensator in the area in front of the tap outlet.
• Another task of the movable, removable tap spout from the holder, which is used by the old tap valve (mixing valve), is inventive so that the new tap spout is provided with a flexible line that enables the tap spout to be removed from its holder, which enables the user to novel tap spout is able to fill soda water or soft drinks as well as filtered or purified tap water outside the sink area in drinks (bottles, glasses) (not shown).
• Another variant has been solved according to the invention in such a way that the abovementioned construction options and areas of application of the additional second tap spout are already integrated in a tap with at least one cold water inlet as a complete unit but with different functions, namely only cold water and soda water, as well as soft drinks or filtered and purified Tap water (not shown in the picture) or as a one-hand mixer tap in connection with the second tap outlet for soda water and soft drinks, but also as a two-hand mixer tap also with the second tap outlet which of course have a compensator or cylinder integrated in the tap outlet mechanically or permanently installed.
• Another variant that can be solved according to the invention is the required tap water requirement (liquids) in order to produce in conjunction with Co 2 soda water and soft drinks, the required amount of liquid (tap water) by actuating, for example, a single-lever mixer tap that releases the tap water required In order to produce soda water, this is then constructed using the one-hand lever control unit, which is also responsible for cold and warm water and mixed water, so that in a new position that is not otherwise available, the newly created position can make it possible to use liquids ) for the supply for the system that makes it possible to produce soda water in particular and also via a static mixer (not shown in the picture).
• Tap water must be used in the case of a cartridge control or other systems for the release and locking options through newly developed systems.
• the installation option to enable the compensator (cylinder) in the new type of second tap outlet is resolved according to the invention as follows.
• the tap outlet to be used which is to be provided with a compensator, is manufactured in such a way that this tap outlet can be broken down into two parts Screw connections in connection with flexible sealing material that is also gas-tight.
• the lower part of the tap outlet towards the tap outlet is designed so that in the case of a conical cylinder, the inner cylinder guide must be made conical to the cylinder within the tap outlet.
• the preferred materials for the tap outlet must be made of food-grade materials (not shown in the picture).
• the liquid supply for the mixing system can be done via a T-piece where the required Co 2 supply is also available.
• the venturi on the main cold water supply which is also for the cold water supply of the normal tap valve (mixing valve) via a new double shut-off valve, which on the side is necessary for the supply of tap water for the soda water production with a check valve or similar systems are conceivable.
• the soda water system is closed, no Co 2 gas can get into the main water pipe or into the normal fitting, which is why the non-return system must also be gas-tight, this non-return system must also be used on the gas side (not shown in the picture).
• Co 2 is required for the production of soda water, which is inventively solved so that a constant Co 2 pressure and a constant Co 2 flow rate are required in the mixing system that is connected to the production of soda water with the new tap outlet.
• a Co 2 pressure regulator with flow rate regulation is required for this.
• the required Co 2 pressure reducer can also be used as an overpressure limiter. This is solved according to the invention in such a way that the required Co 2 pressure reducer has a built-in pressure relief valve. This pressure relief valve can optionally also be adjustable to various pressure relief functions.
• a bracket can also be integrated on this Co 2 pressure reducer, which is used to secure the pressure reducer by screwing it onto the sink or on the masonry (not shown in the picture).
• Co 2 pressure regulator can be screwed on, there is also a safe position for the Co 2 container (not shown in the picture).
• the Co 2 container cartridges are refillable. This is solved according to the invention in such a way that the exchange of Co 2 containers (cylinders) by a mail order principle enables every user of the novel tap spout that makes it possible to tap soda water or soft drinks to dispense an exchange cylinder with Co 2 without problems (figuratively not ) shown.
• the mixing system for producing soda water is carried out via a static mixer
• this can be designed so that it also serves as a tap water filter or cleaner.
• opening the static mixer it can also be cleaned or provided with new filters if necessary be (not illustrated).
• this inventive step is solved in such a way that the novel second tap outlet is then able to be produced on the respective system, so that it is possible to produce soda water via the novel tap outlet or soda water To tap soft drinks.
• Systems such as the well-known processes such as Primex or Posmix, as well as the process that is also used in the beverage industry, could bring CO 2 into it via the vacuum created and, in connection with mineral-containing water, produce siderified water (soda water).
• a static mixer which is constructed as follows: a special feature of this static mixer is that it consists of individual sieves so that the meshes of the individual sieves one on top of the other are arranged.
• the preferred shape of the sieves is round, but can also have a different shape. For example, oval, depending on the need for the accumulation of CO 2 in liquids (tap water), different sieve thicknesses and mesh sizes or holes can be used.
• each sieve element that is necessary for the sieve mixer that spacer elements be integrated or each individual sieve has a fabricated punching bead made of the sieve material, which then replaces the spacer parts. If it has to be used to allow distances between the individual sieves, this can also be achieved by rubberizing the individual sieve elements as spacing spacers from the subsequent sieves within the mixing tube.
• the sieve material must be made of food-compatible materials. For example: VA steel as well as the casing in which the sieves sit.
• the number of sieves for a static mixer and the diameter of the individual sieves as well as the sieve thickness and also the mesh size must be adapted to the respective field of application.
• a static mixer constructed as described above can also be used in other fields of application. For example: in the wastewater treatment, beverage industry, agriculture or horticulture in greenhouses for the liquid supply of plants, vegetables or fruits.
