Definitions

  • the invention relates to connecting devices for liquid storage containers. More specific, the invention relates to connecting devices for standard beverage containers such as e.g. beer kegs or non-alcoholic carbonaceous drink containers.
  • standard liquid containers are typically provided with an internal closing valve that provides an outward directed sealing action against a seat, mounted in the storage container. These valves are generally spring biased and can further experience an internal pressure, that can provide an additional sealing force.
  • This closing valve can close off two compartments of the storage container.
  • a first compartment connected to the interior of a dip pipe, through which the liquid can flow and a second through which an expelling gas can be dosed in order to force the liquid out of the container.
  • Such standard liquid containers are further equipped with a standard closing engaging connector.
  • a connecting device can be engaged with the engaging connector of the liquid storage container and after a tight engagement, an opening element of the connector can be forced into the container, opening the closing valve of the liquid storage container.
  • an opening element of the connector By opening the closing valve of the liquid storage container, a beverage can be transported to a discharge conduit, which on its turn can for instance be connected to a tap or other dispensing device.
  • the opening element of the connector can open the closing valve of the standard liquid container by manually pressing a lever down, such that the opening element which is coupled to the lever is forced into the interior of the container.
  • This lever can be provided with a retaining mechanism for holding the opening element and the lever in an operating position such that the closing valve of the liquid storage container can remain in its open position.
  • a retaining mechanism for holding the opening element and the lever in an operating position such that the closing valve of the liquid storage container can remain in its open position.
  • a device suitable for connecting a control fluid conduit and a discharge conduit to a standard liquid storage container such as a standard beer keg
  • the standard liquid storage container comprises a closing valve suitable for closing off the liquid storage container and wherein the liquid container comprises a first standard engaging connector
  • the device comprises an housing, provided with a second standard engaging connector, which second standard engaging connector is complementary with and suitable for engagement in, on or around the first standard engaging connector of the liquid storage container
  • the housing comprises a first fluid connector suitable for connecting the control and/or an expel fluid conduit to the housing
  • the housing accommodates an opening element, suitable for opening the closing valve of the liquid container, wherein the opening element is connected to a piston, wherein the opening element is configured to open the closing valve of the standard liquid storage container by means of a pressurised control fluid and wherein the opening element is configured to form a first fluid connection between the interior of the standard liquid storage container and the discharge conduit.
  • this device no force is needed to make a connection between the liquid and the discharge conduit. Furthermore this device no longer needs a lever to push down the valve opener, such that this device is having less protruding parts and less recesses where dirt and/or contaminations such as bacteria can build up.
  • a further aspect of the invention is that the piston can be connected to a guiding sleeve, which guiding sleeve can be axially moveable and axially extending through the housing.
  • the guiding sleeve can be provided with an inner pipe, forming a liquid channel.
  • the guiding sleeve of the connecting device can on its external end be provided with a third fluid connector, suitable for connecting the discharge conduit to the device.
  • the liquid can be discharged from the liquid storage container in a substantially straight line, thus reducing the unwanted premature release of carbon dioxide gas inside the discharge conduit.
  • a further advantage of this straight line is that here again no dirt or contaminations can build up, since recesses, corners and dead spaces are substantially prevented.
  • a first conduit of the device can be connected to a control and/or an expel gas, and the discharge conduit can be connected to a dispensing device such as a tap.
  • the housing can comprise a cylinder suitable for substantially gastight guiding the piston.
  • Another aspect of the invention is a method of connecting a first conduit to a standard liquid storage container such as a beer keg, wherein a standard liquid storage container is provided, comprising a closing valve suitable for closing off the liquid storage container, wherein a device as described above is applied, which is connected to a standard liquid storage container by engaging the second engaging connector of the device in the complementary engaging connector of the standard liquid storage container, wherein control and/or an expel gas are applied in order to force the piston and the thereto connected opening element in an opening direction of the closing valve of the standard liquid container, thus opening the closing valve.
  • a standard liquid storage container is to be understood as though not limited to a liquid container, adapted with standard engaging connector such as a connector known in the technical field of beverage storage and distribution.
  • engaging connectors are for example known as a D-type system or US Sankey system, S-type European Sankey or cage system, A-type or flat system, G-type system, U-type system and/or M-type system. All of which are widely used.
  • expel gas is to be understood as though not limited to a gas that is or can be used to force out the liquid from the liquid storage container.
  • Typical gasses that can be used for this purpose are air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxide and/or mixtures thereof. Other gasses can be used as well provided these gasses are non toxic.
  • control gas is to be understood though not limited to a gas that can be used to force a piston assembly of a connecting device in a certain direction, as will be explained in more detail hereinafter.
  • the control gas can be the very same gasses as the expel gasses. In some applications the control gas is provided under a different pressure than the expel gas, though it can also be the very same gas, under the same pressure as is further elucidated hereinafter.
