Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a one-way dispensing tap for dispensing liquid from a pressurized liquid container modified from known dispensing taps so as to be preferably mounted in the upper portion of the side wall of the liquid container.
  • the invention also relates to a liquid container with a corresponding opening for and with this tap.
  • the inner tube further has an outlet opening, so that when the two inlet openings are above one another, liquid can enter the tap and can be tapped through the outlet opening. To close this tap, the inner tube must be fully reinserted into the outer tube.
  • a disadvantage of this configuration is that to shut off the inner tube must always be pushed back into the outer tube after the pin. If the pipe slips, this can lead to unwanted liquid leakage.
  • this nozzle comprises an outer tube and an inner tube which is slidably disposed in the outer tube.
  • the liquid outlet opening is arranged in an outer region of the wall of the inner tube, which must be pulled out correspondingly far from the outer tube at the beginning of the first tapping operation.
  • the actuator for this valve consists of an elastic button with a spout which engages around the bead of an extension of a valve stem, which in turn opens into the cone of the valve.
  • this opening is closed by means of a protective sheath sealingly pushed over the inner portion of the outer tube and having a smaller diameter tubular extension at the front.
  • the inner tube is frontally provided with a pin which is dimensioned so that it extends in the initial state, in which the inner tube is fully inserted into the outer tube, in the tubular extension of the protective sheath and sealingly seals.
  • a remainder hole is provided, which can be brought on further withdrawal of the inner tube with a corresponding bore with this to cover, so that liquid residues can get into the tap by tilting the container.
  • a disadvantage of the systems described so far is that the nozzle must be located very far down in the side wall of the liquid container, so that the container can be emptied sufficiently. Due to the confined space below the tap, the container must be placed towards the spigot on a tapping trestle or table edge to allow liquid to be dispensed into a corresponding receptacle, e.g. a beer glass, to tap. It is therefore either easy to overturn or requires its own dedicated stand device. In addition, the pin is uncomfortable because of the low-lying tap.
  • Such a system could be operated using an internal pressure reservoir or an internal pressurized gas cartridge.
  • pressure sources are known in principle.
  • a high pressure source in the center, on the bottom or on the lid of the drum.
  • the proposed for such a system tap and possibly other accessories should therefore not extend too far into the middle of the container if possible, to allow the widest possible variety of mounting options for the pressure source.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a tap with the above-described as desirable requirement profile.
  • a container / container for receiving a liquid dispensable therefrom which / which has a bottom side, a side wall and a lid or end face and an opening for attaching a tap and the / is characterized in that this opening is located in the side wall of the container / container, in an area which is closer to the top or end side than to the bottom side of the side wall.
  • the opening is preferably mounted in the area above the peripheral bulge, which is modeled on a barrel hoop earlier wooden barrels, or in the absence such bulge at a height that corresponds to the so defined in the relation of the dimensions.
  • the invention provides a tap that can be mounted in said opening of the liquid container, without appreciably occupy space, and with which you can tap with sufficient pressure within the container liquid even if the liquid level is lower than the tap even.
  • the tap according to the invention is such according to claim 1 or claim 2 or a tap combination pipe according to claim 8.
  • the dependent claims define preferred embodiments of this tap.
  • the tap according to the invention can in principle be made of any material; however, it preferably consists of plastic and most preferably a combination of harder and more yielding plastic parts. It is completely manufactured and then used in the designated opening of the still empty liquid container, for example, a 5-liter keg box for beer, sealing.
  • the tap preferably has on its outer sleeve a latching mechanism, which may be formed as in the prior art.
  • the outer sleeve carry two circumferential flanges or locking wedge-wreaths, between which there is a sealing ring.
  • the edges of this opening come to rest on the seal and are held by the flanges or the locking wedge rings.
  • the sealingly arranged in the inner channel of the outer sleeve tube is a sliding tube and has on its outwardly facing side a handle which is located in the mounted state outside the fluid container. In addition, it has near its axially outer end an outlet opening for the liquid to be tapped.
  • the handle is designed so that by pulling and possibly also turning the sliding tube comfortably between a position in which the outlet opening protrudes from the outer sleeve, and a closed position in which the sliding tube is inserted into the sleeve so far that this Outlet opening completely covered, can be pulled. This process is usually required only once in the tap according to the invention, since Preferably, a valve device is provided, which prevents the operation of the free access of liquid to the outlet opening.
  • the closed position in which the sliding tube is inserted so far into the sleeve that it completely covers the outlet opening, is generally identical to the state of the sliding tube that is completely inserted into the outer sleeve.
  • locking can be realized in any way, for example by providing a sliding hole or opening in the outer Sleeve which can cooperate with a sliding block attached in the lower region of the sliding tube or the like.
  • a sliding hole or opening in the outer Sleeve which can cooperate with a sliding block attached in the lower region of the sliding tube or the like.

  • the spout is elastic and can be integrally connected to an externally depressible bellows made of also elastic material such as rubber.
  • an externally depressible bellows made of also elastic material such as rubber.
  • the sliding tube has at its inner end side openings or openings through which the liquid to be tapped can get into the interior of the tube. This However, it should only be possible when the liquid container is put into use and the pin is started. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the liquid from entering the pusher tube before starting a first tapping operation.
  • this has a first, tubular part which is pushed onto an axially-facing inner end part of the outer sleeve (which in these embodiments is continuously tubular and open at its inner end) to the extent that said (n ), optionally existing opening (s) or bore (s) in the lateral region of the outer sleeve sealingly covered.
  • the protective cover has an axially inwardly adjoining part with a tubular recess which can cooperate with a located on the inner end face of the sliding tube pin which projects beyond the pipe wall in the axial direction, such that in the fully inserted state of the sliding tube this pin sealingly closes said tubular recess.
  • this part of the tap according to the invention is on the DE 198 35 569 A1 directed.
  • the outer sleeve is shaped so that it can take over the functions of the protective cover. You should then have no side opening.

  • the protective cover or the outer sleeve in the axial direction of the nozzle is closed at the front, but laterally has an opening which has a means for sealingly coupling a pipe or hose, which is to serve as a riser, and in the outwardly pushed state of the tube in Fluid communication with the interior of the sliding tube is.
  • This opening can be configured in various ways.
  • a protective sheath which follows the contour of the outer sleeve and an outer, annular region of the end face on the front side of the outer sleeve and then merges into a tube whose inside diameter said tubular Recess forms.
  • this smaller diameter tube there is a lateral opening or recess surrounded by an annular bead or flange such that a tube or hose can be coupled thereto which should extend to the bottom of the fluid container and serves as a riser.
  • This tube or hose can either be pulled outside over the annular bead or flange or inserted into this.
  • the materials of both components or their diameters are selected to seal against each other under stiction.
  • This embodiment can be realized in a second alternative without protective cover, when the outer sleeve is realized as described above. Then, there is a side opening or recess surrounded by an annular bead or flange in the above-described axially-inwardly-adjacent part of the outer sleeve having said tubular recess.
  • the tubular recess of either the protective sheath or the correspondingly shaped outer sleeve opens in the axial direction in a channel which bent or knee-shaped leads to a laterally mounted opening in the protective sleeve or in the outer sleeve.
