Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tap for drinks, especially beers, having a flow chamber having a base body, at one end of a connector for the beverage to be taped is provided and at the other end an outlet spout is attached, wherein in the between the connector and the outlet spout a valve disposed axially displaceably in the flow chamber valve body is arranged, which is adjustable by means of a pivotably mounted in the base body control lever, wherein the valve body has a flow channel forming a sleeve-shaped part on which at one on the valve body in the direction acting on its valve seat actuating force of the control lever, a seal carrying the valve body and with this seal on the valve seat supporting hollow cylinder against the force of a supported on the sleeve-shaped part spring displaceable is, and wherein the flow channel has an outlet which is closed when missing in the direction of the valve seat force by the seal of the valve body and which is released in the direction of the valve seat effective force from the seal.
  • a tap according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-A-4,742,942.
  • the invention has for its object to develop in a tap of the type mentioned a valve body, on the one hand allows the generation of foam and on the other hand is easy to clean.
  • valve body is disposed in an outwardly sealed chamber. Therefore, the valve body can be optimally cleaned without disassembly into its individual parts.
  • the seal of the valve body is arranged between an end face of the spring-loaded hollow cylinder and a collar of the sleeve-shaped part.
  • the sleeve-shaped part consists of two axially successively arranged parts, wherein closer to the valve seat Part at the valve seat facing away from the end of the designed like a cap other part sitting.
  • the tap for drinks, especially beers, which are usually under pressure, has a base body 1, at one end of a connector 2 is provided for a supply line, not shown for the beverage to be tapped, and at the other end of an outlet 3 is scheduled.
  • the connecting piece 2 encloses between connecting piece 2 and outflow nozzle 3 a flow chamber 4, which is closed at the end by a plug 5.
  • a shut-off valve 6 is arranged in the flow chamber 4, a shut-off valve 6 is arranged.
  • the shut-off valve 6 is adjustable by a control lever 7, which is releasably attached to a nozzle 8 of the base body 1 and pivotable in the direction of the double arrow 9 to open the flow rate of the beverage with the stop valve 6 or to block.
  • the shut-off valve 6 has an axially displaceable in the flow chamber 4 valve body 10 with a seal 11, which is associated with a valve seat 12 at the end of the flow chamber 4.
  • the valve body 10 carries a seal 11 upstream and projecting into the region of the control lever 7 shaft 13 with a head 14.
  • the control lever 5 carries a fork 15 which engages behind the shaft 13 and the head 14.
  • the shaft 13 forms a knee joint with the fork 14 of the control lever 7.
  • the control lever 7 is held in a certain rotational position by this type of clutch.
  • the control lever 7 has as swivel bearing a rotationally symmetrical body 16, in particular a ball head, and correspondingly shaped bearing shells 17 a, 17 b, so that it is pivotable in the direction of the double arrow 9.
  • the rotationally symmetrical body 16 is held by a union nut 18 which is screwed onto the neck 8 of the base body 1.
  • vent valve For ventilation of lying in the direction of flow of the beverage behind the shut-off valve 6 part 4a of the flow chamber 4 and thus also the outflow nozzle 3 is an operable by the control lever 7 vent valve.
  • This vent valve consists on the one hand of acting as a valve seat bearing shell 17a and on the other hand, the rotationally symmetrical body 16 of the control lever 7, which has in its periphery acting as a ventilation bridge recess 19 which connects depending on the tilt position of the control lever 7 said part 4a with a leading into the atmosphere bore 20 in the nozzle 8.
  • the ventilation of the spout 3 is effective, while in the open position of the shut-off valve shown in Fig. 4, the ventilation is locked.
  • the construction of the tap described is very simple. Compared to the prior art, the always necessary swivel bearing is at the same time part of the ventilation valve for the outlet spout. No longer is an additional valve with spool required in a snug fit cylinder chamber, the tightness can only be achieved with great manufacturing effort and is only with great effort and mostly insufficient to clean.
  • valve body 10 shown enlarged in FIGS. 6 to 9 has a special design.
  • the shaft 13 is extended counter to the flow direction of the beverage by a first part 31, which is formed as a sleeve and comprises a flow channel 32.
  • a cap with a central channel 34 is screwed as a second part 33.
  • the seal 11 of the shut-off valve 6 is arranged between a collar 35 of the shaft 13 and an end face of a on the sleeve-shaped part 31st against the force of a spring 36 displaceable hollow cylinder 37.
  • the hollow cylinder 37 engages with a projection 38, the cap-shaped part 33.
  • the spring 36 is disposed in a space 39 which is sealed by o-ring seals 40, 41, which between the sleeve-shaped part 31 and the hollow cylinder 37 on one side and the cap-shaped part 32 and the projection 37 of the hollow cylinder 36 on the other side act.
  • At least one radial bore 42 connects the flow channel 32 of the sleeve-shaped part 31 with the space 43 in which the seal 11 is arranged.
  • valve body 10 for the foaming is the following:
  • the valve body 10 When not actuated control lever 7, the valve body 10 is with its seal 11 in abutment against the valve seat 12 and thus blocks the flow.
  • the shut-off valve 6 By pivoting the control lever 7 in the drawing to the left, the shut-off valve 6 is opened. The beverage can flow past the valve body 10 laterally.
  • the spring 36 remains both in the blocking position of the shut-off valve 6 and in its open position, the seal-11 clamped between the collar 35 of the shaft 13 and the end face of the hollow cylinder 37. This leaves the radial bore 42 is locked.
  • valve body 10 The particular advantages of this valve body 10 are that the chamber 39 is sealed with the spring 36 to the outside. That's why its easy to clean. Because of the special coupling via the knee joint, it can be used in any rotational position in the flow chamber.
