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.
