Definitions

  • This invention relates to a beverage dispensing assembly to be used in combination with a tapping cock.
  • DraughtMaster TM a professional draught beer system
  • DraughtMaster TM comprising a beverage dispensing system and a chill chamber in which the keg or pack containing carbonate beer is received.
  • the keg or pack containing carbonated beer comprises a flexible bottle or bag, which is exposed to an elevated pressure from the outside for dispensing the beer.
  • the flexible bottle or bag is connected through a dispensing line to a shut-off valve, which is guided through a channel of the beverage dispensing system and is received within and operated by means of a tap handle of a tapping cock for operating the shut-off valve between an open and a closed position.
  • the dispensing line and shut-off valve Prior to operation, the dispensing line and shut-off valve are to be mounted properly within the tapping cock of the beverage dispensing system. This, however, may be a complicated process since the dispensing line with the shut-off valve are to be pushed through the inside of the tapping cock. The dispensing line and the valve must be correctly and securely connected and fixed to one another and to the tap handle of the tapping cock.
  • the beverage dispensing assembly constitutes a component of a draught beer system also including the dispensing line and as is well known in the art, a refrigerator system for cooling the beer contained within the keg or pack and additional components well known in the art per se. It is to be realised that the beverage dispensing assembly may be used in connection with a draught beer system similar to the commercially available DraughtMaster TM system produced and sold by the applicant company, in which a collapsible keg or bag is used, however, the beverage dispensing assembly according to the present invention may alternatively be used in combination with a conventional draught beer system, in which non-carbonised beer containing metal kegs and carbonising pressurised containers are used.
  • the separate valve element apart from fulfilling requirements as to compatibility with the tap handle of the DraughtMaster TM system or the top handle of a similar system fulfils specific operational requirements in particular to provide a safe closing-off and safe opening of the shut-off valve when operated by the tap handle, and, consequently, the shut-off valve must not allow the beer to leak or drip from the dispensing line, and, in addition, the shut-off valve should prevent that the beer is frothing when the shut-off valve is opened by operating the tap handle.
  • the dispensing line is mounted to the valve element, the controlled dispensing of a drink can be obtained. Especially if the drink is a carbonated drink, such as beer, undesired frothing is counteracted.
  • the flow characteristics through the dispensing line according to the invention can be adjusted by sizing the fluid outlet dimension of the dispensing line and the dimensions of the valve element.
  • the dispensing line and the valve element according to the present invention are particularly suitable for dispensing beverages, e.g. wine, coffee, milk or carbonated drink, such as beer.
  • beverages e.g. wine, coffee, milk or carbonated drink, such as beer.
  • the dispensing line is by itself automatically closed when placing the pack containing carbonated drink in the dispenser device, so that leakage of carbonated drink is prevented.
  • the dispensing line of the beverage dispensing assembly according to the present invention is likewise also automatically closed when the empty pack is removed from the dispenser device and leakage of any beer present in the flexible dispensing line is prevented.
  • the dispensing line can be of rigid construction, but can also be telescopic or at least partially of a flexible construction. The latter is preferred since this facilitates the positioning and the fixating of the dispensing line and the valve element in the tapping cock.
  • the dispensing line can be permanently connected to the container containing a carbonated drink.
  • the dispensing line may be a separate component which is provided with a coupling for detachable connection to the keg or pack. Consequently, the dispensing line may constitute a lightweight, simple construction, which can easily be accommodated, stored and transported in or together with the keg or the pack.
  • the dispensing line may be accommodated in a coiled state on top of or beneath the base of the keg or pack containing the beverage.
  • An operating element of the tapping cock preferably comprises components or elements to which the dispensing line and the valve element are connected.
  • the valve element may be provided with corresponding coupling components or elements and may be operated by e.g. moving it or by applying a force to it.
  • valve element or the dispensing line is opened and closed by operating the handle of the tapping cock.
  • a beverage dispensing assembly to be used in combination with a tapping cock including a tapping cock housing and a tap handle operable between a first position and a second position, said first position constituting a non-beverage dispensing position and said second position constituting a beverage dispensing position, said beverage dispensing assembly comprising two separate elements:
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a prior art drink dispenser assembly.
  • the dispenser device assembly 1 comprises a housing 2 including a chill chamber in which a keg or pack, not shown in the drawings, containing carbonated beer is placed.
  • the keg or pack containing carbonated beer comprises a flexible bottle or bag containing the carbonated beer.
  • the flexible bottle or bag is connected through a dispensing line to a shut-off valve at the dispensing end of the dispensing ling.
  • a dispensing head 3 acting as a tapping cock and a tap handle 4
  • the shut-off valve is operated between an open position and a closed position.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate the tap handle 4 and a dispensing line 6 with a shut-off valve 8.
  • the dispensing line 6 is positioned in the interior of the dispensing head of the tapping cock and the shut-off valve 8 is biased by a spring 7 to its closed position. Operation of the tap handle 4 away from the position shown causes compression of the biasing spring 7, which in turn moves the shut-off valve 8 to its open position.
  • Fig. 4a, 4b, 4c , 4d, 4e and 4f illustrate schematic views of a first preferred embodiment of a beverage dispensing assembly according to the present invention.
  • the beverage dispensing assembly designated the reference numeral 15 in its entirely basically comprises two separate elements: a dispensing line 10 and a valve element 20 as shown in figures 4b - 4g .
  • Fig. 4a illustrates the dispensing line 10 defining a dispensing end 11 and an opposite keg connection end, not shown in the drawing.
  • a sealing membrane 12 is provided acting as a prior to use sealing closure which is, as will be described below, opened or ruptured when assembling the dispensing line 10 to the valve element 20.
  • the dispensing line 10 is provided with a coupling element 14 integrally cast with the sealing membrane and defining at the dispensing end 11 a circumferential protrusion 13.
  • the coupling element 14 constitutes a circular skirt circumferentially encircling the dispensing end 11.
  • the coupling element 14 is at its inner cylindrical surface provided with a circumferential bead designated the reference numeral 17 allowing the coupling element to co-operate with a corresponding circumferential recess of the valve element 20 as will be described below.
  • the coupling element 14 is provided with an outer circumferential flange 18 serving to co-operate with a sleeve 40 of the tapping cock 30 of the dispensing handle 34 shown in Fig. 4g .
  • Fig. 4b the dispensing line 10 is shown together with the valve element 20 in a position ready for connecting the dispensing line 10 to the valve element 20.
  • the valve element 20 is basically composed of two parts, a bottom nozzle defining part 22 and a top connector part 24 serving to connect the valve element 20 to the coupling element 14 of the dispensing line 10.
  • the top part 24 is at its upper end provided with an outer circumferential recess 26 serving to engage with and arrest with the inwardly protruding bead 17 of the coupling element 14.
  • Fig. 4c the dispensing line 10 and the valve element 20 are in a pre-arresting position as the inwardly protruding bead 17 of the coupling element 14 has not reached its interlocking and arresting co-operation with the circumferential recess 26 of the top part 24 of the valve element 20.
  • an inwardly sloping surface 28 is defined serving to catch the circumferential protrusion 13 and to rupture the membrane 12 as the coupling element 14 is further advanced towards the top part 24 of the valve element 20.
  • the membrane 12 is initially in a biased configuration allowing the membrane 12, after the membrane has been ruptured, to be retracted from the dispensing end 11 of the dispensing line 10 and to conceal the ruptured membrane 12 between the outer surface of the dispensing line 10 and the inner wall of the top part 24 of the valve element 20, as is illustrated in Fig. 4d .
  • valve element 20 In the process of interconnecting the coupling element 14 to the valve element 20, the valve element 20 is in a non-sealed or non-closed position as a pressure equalisation channel is provided and established by a through-going passage defined by a wall 29 which passage is eventually blocked as the dispensing line 10 is permanently fixated to the valve element 20, as is illustrated in Fig. 4d .
  • a closure stem 23 is provided within the nozzle part 22 of the valve element 20, serving to co-operate with a similarly configurated inwardly sloping and mating surface 27 of the top part 24 of the valve element 20.
  • valve is closed or sealed off as the closure stem 23 is caused to seal against the inner sloping surface and mating surface 27 of the top part 24 of the valve element 20. It is to be realised that the shifting of the valve element 20 between the open position shown in Fig. 4e and the closed position shown in Fig. 4f is established by shifting the top part 24 of the valve element 20 relative to the nozzle part 22 of the valve element 20 between an extracted position shown in Fig.
  • the tapping cock 30 is shown comprising a tapping cock housing 32 defining a right angular bend in which the dispensing line 10 is received.
  • the tapping cock 30 further comprises a handle 34 extending upwardly from the tapping cock housing 32 and is biased to two alternative positions by means of a biasing spring 36 to a first position shown in Fig. 4g in which the handle 34 is in an upright position in which the beverage dispensing assembly is closed and a second position in which the handle 34 is turned to the right or lowered as a conventional tap handle of a beverage dispensing system for opening the beverage dispensing assembly for causing the dispensing of beverage from the dispensing line 10.
  • the handle 34 co-operates with a stem 38 acting on a sleeve 40 which catches with the outer circumferential flange 18 of the coupling element 14 for causing the coupling element 14 and the top part 24 of the valve element 20 to be raised to the position shown in Fig. 4e as the handle 34 is lowered from the upward position shown in Fig. 4g to the above described second position turned to the right as the nozzle part 22 of the valve element 20 is arrested relative to the tapping cock house 32 by means of a circumferential flange 42 of the housing 32 catching into a circumferential groove 19 of the nozzle part 22 of the valve element 20.
  • the sleeve 22 causes the coupling element 14 to push the top part 24 of the valve element 20 into the closed position shown in Fig. 4f .
  • the opening and closing operation of the handle 34 is also used for interconnecting the dispensing line 10 and the valve element 20 as initially, the valve element 20 is positioned in the lowermost end of the right angular bend tapping cock house 32 and fixated by the circumferential flange 42 described above, catching in the groove 19 and at the same time, the dispensing line 10 is introduced through the tapping cock housing 32 from the left hand side of the tapping cock housing 32 and positioned in engagement with the sleeve 40 as the sleeve is raised by lowering the handle 34 from the position shown in Fig. 4g to the above described position in which the handle is turned to the right.
  • the dispensing line 10 and the valve element 20 are fitted together as is illustrated in Fig. 4c while the handle 34 is in the above described lowered position and, the handle 34 is then raised to its upright position shown in Fig. 4g causing the dispensing line 10 to be permanently connected to the valve element 20 as is illustrated in Fig. 4 .
  • a second embodiment of a beverage dispensing assembly is shown differing from the above first described and first embodiment in that the coupling element 14' of the dispensing line 10 is of a somewhat simplified structure as the inwardly protruding bead 17 and the outwardly protruding flange 18 are omitted, and similarly, the top part 24' of the valve element 20' fails to include a circumferential recess similar to the recess 26 described above.
  • the valve element 20' basically differs from the above described first embodiment of the valve element 20 shown in Figs. 4a-4f in that the top part 24' of the valve element 20' shown in Figs.
