Definitions

  • This invention relates to a beverage dispensing system.
  • 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 for operating the shut-off valve between an open and a closed position.
  • the dispensing line is to be mounted properly within the beverage dispensing system. This, however, may be a complicated process since the dispensing line is to be pushed through the inside of the beverage dispensing system. The dispensing line must be guided and retained properly and be correctly connected and fixed to the tap handle.
  • a beverage dispensing system comprising:
  • the tap handle may like a conventional draught beer system comprise a valve for closing off in a first position the dispensing of beverage from the dispensing line and in a second position allow dispensing of beverage from the dispensing line.
  • the valve itself may constitute a separate component as covered by applicant's co-pending European patent applications or, alternatively, constitute an integral component of the dispensing line or further alternatively be implemented by a pinching mechanism causing the dispensing line to be sealed off by the action of an eccentric element or similar component squeezing the dispensing line firmly together and consequently sealing off the dispensing line in the above-mentioned second position in which the dispensing of beverage from the dispensing line is blocked.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective and schematic views of a first and presently preferred embodiment of a beverage dispensing system designated the reference numeral 10 in its entirety.
  • the beverage dispensing system 10 comprises a housing 12 composed of two housing parts 14 and 16.
  • the housing 12 is of an overall elongated configuration and defines opposite ends, a first end constituting a tapping end, at which a tap handle 18 is provided and an opposite second end, at which end a fixture 20 is provided for fixating the housing 12 of the beverage dispensing system 10 to a supporting surface such as a supporting table surface, which is not shown in the drawings.
  • Fig. 1 the two housing parts 14 and 16 of the housing 12 are joined to one another providing a closed housing, in which a dispensing line shown in Fig. 2 and designated the reference numeral 30 is enclosed, which dispensing line connects a shut-off valve of the tap handle 18 to a keg or pack, in which carbonated beer is contained, which shut-off valve is operated by means of the tap handle 18 for shifting the shut-off valve between an open and a closed state for dispensing and shut-off of dispensing of carbonated beer from the keg or pack, respectively.
  • a dispensing line shown in Fig. 2 and designated the reference numeral 30 is enclosed, which dispensing line connects a shut-off valve of the tap handle 18 to a keg or pack, in which carbonated beer is contained, which shut-off valve is operated by means of the tap handle 18 for shifting the shut-off valve between an open and a closed state for dispensing and shut-off of dispensing of carbonated beer from the keg or pack, respectively.
  • the beverage dispensing system 10 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 present beverage dispensing system 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 pack is used, however, the beverage dispensing system 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 housing components 14 and 16 are separated from one another exposing the interior of the housing 12, and consequently exposing the beverage dispensing line 30 for allowing easy access to the beverage dispensing line when shifting the beverage dispensing line 30.
  • the two housing parts 14 and 16 are hinged to one another, as is illustrated in Fig. 2 by means of a hinge provided at the bottom of the housing 12 above the fixture 20.
  • the hinge interconnecting the housing parts 14 and 16 is dislosed and designates the reference numeral 22.
  • the housing part 14 is provided with an inwardly protruding pin 24 having an V-shaped recessed end 26 serving to catch around the freely exposed dispensing line 30 when the housing is pivoted relative to the hinge 22 for joining the housing part 16 to the housing part 14 for providing the closed state as is illustrated in Fig. 1 .
  • the housing parts 14 and 16 are provided with cooperating locking elements 28 and 29, the locking element 28 being provided at the upper end of the housing part 14 and serving to catch with and lock to the locking element 29 of the housing part 16.
  • the locking element 29 may be disengaged from the locking elements 28 of the housing part 14.
  • the housing part 16 is provided with an internal recess 32, in which the dispensing line 30 is received, which recess preferably further comprises catching elements for arresting and fixating the dispensing line 30 in its intentional position relative to the housing part 16.
  • the catching elements are shown in greater details in Figs. 5 and 6 illustrating two alternative variants of the catching elements, the one variant comprising inwardly protruding fins 36 shown in Fig. 5 , whereas in Fig.
  • the catching elements are constituted by pivotally journalled flanges, one of which is designated the reference numeral 36', which is pivotally journalled for allowing the flange to be moved from an open position shown in dotted line to a closed position shown in solid line, in which closed position the dispensing line 30 is arrested in its intentional position shown in Fig. 6 and received in the recess 32.
  • the tap handle and consequently the shut-off valve operated by means of the tap handle 18 are joined to the housing part 16, which is pivotally journalled relative to the stationary housing part 14. It is contemplated that the provision of the tap handle 18 and the shut-off valve operated by the tap handle 18 at the movable part 16 is the most advantageous since, provided the tap handle 18 is connected to the movable part, as is illustrated in Fig. 2 , the proper mounting and positioning of the dispensing line 30 is most easily accomplished.
  • the tap handle 18 and the shut-off valve operated by the tap handle 18 are supported by the stationary housing part 14, in which a recess similar to the recess 32 of the housing part 16 shown in Fig. 2 is provided, in which embodiment the movable housing part 16 simply constitutes a front closure.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective and schematic view of a second embodiment of a beverage dispensing system in an open position.
  • the first embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2 is modified into the second embodiment in that the two housing parts 12' and 14' are pivotally joined by means of the hinge 22', which hinge is mounted along a longitudinal edge 15 between the housing parts 14' and 16'.
  • the tap handle 18 is mounted at the tapping end of the housing part 16' and swings with the housing part 16', when the housing part 16' is moved from and away from the housing part 14', which constitutes a stationary housing part in the open position shown in Fig.
  • the recess is provided in the housing part 14' and provides the same function.
  • the housing parts 14' and 16' are each provided with locking and arresting elements 28' and 29', respectively.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective and schematic view of a third embodiment of a beverage dispensing system 10".
  • the housing part 16" is pivotally connected to the stationary housing part 16" by means of a hinge 22" at the top end of the housing 12".
  • Fig. 7 is a perspective and schematic view of a fourth embodiment of a beverage dispensing system 10''' is shown in an open position.
  • the housing part 16"' is pivotally connected by means of a hinge 22''' below the top end of the housing 12"' to the other housing part 14"'.
  • the housing parts 14''' constitutes, as is evident from Fig. 7 , a main housing part of the housing 12''' relative to which main housing part the housing part 16" can be pivoted between a closed position and the open position.
  • a longitudinal recess 42 is provided in which the dispensing line not shown can be positioned and retained.
  • a longitudinal recess may be provided in the housing part 16"'.
  • the longitudinal recess 42 is exposed, when the housing parts 14''' and 16''' are in the open position. Conversely, the longitudinal recess 42 is concealed when the housing parts 14''' and 16''' are in the closed position.
  • the housing parts 14"' and 16"' are provided with locking and arresting elements 28"'.
  • a fifth and a sixth embodiment, respectively, of the beverage dispensing system is shown designated the reference numerals 10 iv and 10 v , respectively.
  • the fifth and sixth embodiments shown in Figs. 8 and 9 respectively, basically differs from the fourth embodiment shown in Fig. 7 in that the movable housing part 16 iv is in Fig. 8 hinged relative to the stationary or ain housing part 14 iv along a longitudinal edge of the two housing parts 14 iv and 16 iv similar to the second embodiment shown in Fig. 3 , whereas in the sixth embodiment 10 V shown in Fig.
  • the movable housing part 16 v is hinged to the bottom of the housing part 14 V of the housing 12 V similar to the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2 .
  • No further detailed description of the fifth and sixth embodiments is contemplated to be needed in view of the above description of the first, second, third and fourth embodiments.
