  • the invention has for its object to provide a container for liquids and an associated device for removing the liquids from the container, wherein the container on the one hand enables safe storage of liquids, on the other hand, can be easily connected to the removal device for removing the liquid ,
  • the essence of the invention is to provide a container for receiving liquids with a connection approach, by means of which the container on the one hand tightly lockable to the outside on the other hand with a device for withdrawing liquid from the container is securely connected.
  • a non-inventive dispensing device with a liquid container for receiving drinks, wherein the liquid container is substantially spherical or ovoid and mounted on a stand, wherein the liquid container at its pointing to Stabdfffy lowest point closed by a plug or a membrane opening and wherein the base has a lateral, elongated recess through which an inside hollow outlet tube is inserted laterally or from below, the at its insertion after the outside end of a cock and at its inner end after insertion end in the direction of the opening a bend which is hollow inside and communicates with the inner cavity of the remainder of the outlet tube so that movement of the inserted outlet tube towards the plug or membrane exposes the opening of the liquid container to allow removal of the beverage.

  • the recess in the base is designed so that a certain movement of the outlet pipe in the direction of the liquid container is possible. In this case, the lateral bending of the outlet pipe causes an opening of the liquid container, so that subsequently the interior of the liquid container is in communication with the inner cavity of the outlet pipe. By actuating the cock at the outer end of the outlet tube then the drink can be removed.
  • the opening of the liquid container may be closed by a plug or a membrane.

This ensures that the outlet tube within the recess can be moved up and down and thus also in the direction of the liquid container so as to bring the bend of the outlet tube to the closed opening and expose it. It would also be conceivable beyond a rotatable mounting of the outlet tube, so that by a rotational movement, the bending is moved to the stopper or the membrane.
  • the elongated recess in the base is open to the bottom of the base, ie downwards.
  • This has the advantage that the outlet tube with the bend can also be introduced from below, which represents a certain simplification compared to the lateral insertion.
  • the movement in the introduction of the outlet tube automatically corresponds to the movement through which the opening of the liquid container is exposed.
  • this also has the advantage that the lateral recess can be formed comparatively narrow because only the outlet tube itself is thereby introduced, while the wider angle is taken up by a cavity adapted thereto in the base itself.
  • sealing means between the bending of the outlet pipe and the opening of the liquid container are provided to prevent uncontrolled leakage of the beverage.
  • These sealing means can be designed in different ways.
  • the bend of the outlet tube on the outside may have sealing rings that are sized to fit snugly against the exposed opening. If the closure of the opening is a membrane made of an elastic material, for example rubber, the seal achieved by the rubber membrane may itself be sufficient.

  • the liquid container may have on its underside a preferably cylindrical extension, wherein the opening closed by the plug or the membrane is in the side of the extension. After insertion of the outlet tube, this thus opens into said extension and establishes a connection for the removal of liquid.
  • Stand and liquid container can be latched together.
  • the liquid container usefully has a short cylindrical extension, which is equipped on its outside with corresponding thickening or locking lugs.
  • the base may have recesses adapted thereto.
  • the measures provided for the locking aids are also conceivable vice versa.
  • a locking has the advantage that the industrial production of the dispensing device in large numbers is particularly cost-effective, since the connection between the liquid container and stand can be easily made by machine.
  • An alternative is to connect stand and liquid container via a thread with each other, in which case the short cylindrical extension of the liquid container on its outer side is usefully provided with a thread which is tuned to a provided in the base internal thread.
  • Liquid container and base can thus be manufactured separately from each other and then connected together.
