Damit erfüllt die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung vorteilhaft die in Europa bekannte strenge Hygienenorm „Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point" HACCP.Packaging contained drinks is significantly extended. In this way, the device according to the invention advantageously fulfills the strict hygiene standard "Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point" HACCP known in Europe.
Nach einer nächsten Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist die Gerätetür wenigstens eine Zapfbucht auf, in welcher der Getränkeauslaß angeordnet ist. Die Zapfbucht ermöglicht vorteilhaft das Abstellen eines Trinkgefäßes auf einer Abtropffläche. Selbstverständlich ist der Getränkeauslaß bevorzugt in der oberen Begrenzung der Zapfbucht angeordnet, so daß ein Getränkestrahl den Getränkeauslaß in vertikaler Richtung durchlaufen kann.According to a next development of the invention, the appliance door at least one Zapfbucht, in which the beverage outlet is arranged. The Zapfbucht advantageously allows the parking of a drinking vessel on a drainer. Of course, the beverage outlet is preferably arranged in the upper boundary of the Zapfbucht, so that a beverage jet can pass through the beverage outlet in the vertical direction.
Um zu gewährleisten, daß der Getränkestrahl berührungslos durch den Getränkeauslaß hindurchtritt, weist das Kühlgerät wenigstens ein im Bereich seiner Beschickungsöffnung angeordnetes Ventilaufnahmelager auf, welches zur Aufnahme des an der „Bag-in-Box"-Verpackung angeordneten Zapfventils vorgesehen ist. Ist das Kühlgerät zum gleichzeitigen Zapfen von Getränken aus mehreren „Bag-in-Box"-Verpackungen ausgelegt, weist es selbstverständlich auch mehrere im Bereich seiner Beschickungsöffnung angeordnete Ventilaufnahmelager auf. Weiterhin weist das Ventilaufnahmelager wenigstens eine Verriegelung zur Lagesicherung des Zapfventils auf. Mit der Verriegelung ist das Zapfventil in das Ventilaufnahmelager eingeschlossen, so daß transportbedingte Erschütterungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung vorteilhaft nicht dazu führen können, daß das Zapfventil aus dem Ventilaufnahmelager herausbewegt wird.To ensure that the beverage jet passes non-contact through the beverage outlet, the cooling device has at least one arranged in the region of its feed opening valve receiving bearing, which is provided for receiving the arranged on the "bag-in-box" packaging dispensing valve Of course, at the same time, it also has a plurality of valve-receiving bearings arranged in the region of its feed opening. Furthermore, the valve receiving bearing has at least one lock for securing the position of the dispensing valve. With the lock the nozzle is enclosed in the valve receiving bearing so that transport-related shocks of the device according to the invention can advantageously not cause the dispensing valve is moved out of the valve receiving bearing.
Nach einer nächsten Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das Kühlgerät wenigstens eine durch seine Gerätetür hindurchstehende Ventilbetätigungsmechanik auf. Mit dieser können an der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung Getränke gezapft werden, ohne dazu die Gerätetür öffnen zu müssen. Auf der Außenseite der Gerätetür bildet die Ventilbetätigungsmechanik mit Vorteil eine Taste aus, welche zur benutzerfreundlichen Einleitung einer Betätigungskraft vorgesehen ist.
