Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Getränkebehälter, hergestellt aus einem thermoplastischen PET-Kunststoff, umfassend eine Zapfventileinheit und einen im Behälterinneren zum Austreiben der Getränkeflüssigkeit angeordneten CO2-Druckgasspender mit diesem zugeordneter Druckreguliereinheit, die das Druckgas aus dem CO2-Druckgasspender in die Getränkeflüssigkeit freigibt, sobald bei der Flüssigkeitsentnahme der Druck in dem Getränkebehälter abfällt.The invention relates to a beverage container made of a thermoplastic PET plastic, comprising a nozzle unit and arranged inside the container for expelling the beverage liquid CO 2 -Druckgasspender with this associated Druckreguliereinheit that releases the compressed gas from the CO 2 -Druckgasspender in the beverage liquid, as soon as drops in the liquid container, the pressure in the beverage container.

Solche Getränkebehälter, insbesondere in Form einer Getränke-Ausschankeinrichtung als Einweggebinde, zum mit CO2-Druckgas betriebenen Ausschank von auf Trinktemperatur temperierten Getränken wie Bier, Wein und Softdrinks sind weit verbreitet. Bei Betätigung eines Zapfhebels wird das Getränk über ein von oben in das Behälterinnere hinragendes Steigrohr zum Getränkeauslass ausgetrieben.Such beverage containers, in particular in the form of a beverage dispensing device as a disposable container, operated with CO 2 -Druckgas serving of tempered to drink temperature drinks such as beer, wine and soft drinks are widely used. When a dispensing lever is actuated, the beverage is expelled to the beverage outlet via a riser pipe projecting from above into the interior of the container.

Durch die WO 2008/044923 A 1 ist ein metallischer Getränkebehälter der eingangs genannten Art bekanntgeworden, der integriert, in einem hülsenartigen Träger angeordnet eine Patrone aufweist, aus der in die Getränkeflüssigkeit bei reduzierten Druckverhältnissen ein Carbon Dioxid eingespeist werden kann.By the WO 2008/044923 A 1 a metallic beverage container of the type mentioned has become known, the integrated, arranged in a sleeve-like carrier has a cartridge from which a carbon dioxide can be fed into the beverage liquid at reduced pressure ratios.

Der WO 93/22222 A 1 läßt sich ein Druckerzeuger entnehmen, der einen aus einem thermoplastischen PET-Kunststoff hergestellten Behälter besitzen kann.Of the WO 93/22222 A 1 For example, a pressure generator can be taken which can have a container made of a thermoplastic PET plastic.

Aus der WO 2 008/000574 A1 ist es bekannt, als Einweggebinde einen in Kugelform hergestellten PET-Behälter zu verwenden, der einen das Getränk aufnehmenden Innenbeutel aufweist. Dieser entfaltet sich beim Befüllen und verhindert, dass Luft in das Bier kommt oder Kohlendioxid entweicht.From the WO 2 008/000574 A1 It is known to use as a disposable container made in a spherical PET container having a drink receiving inner bag. This unfolds when filling and prevents air from entering the beer or escaping carbon dioxide.

Durch die EP 1 140 692 B1 ist eine Getränke-Ausschankeinrichtung bekannt geworden, bei der die CO2-Druckmittelversorgung aus einer im Innenraum des Getränkebehälters auf dem Boden angeordneten Druckgasflasche mit darauf aufgesetzter Druckreguliereinheit besteht. Zur Erzeugung des Druckgases in der Druckgasflasche wird Aktivkohle verwendet. Abgesehen davon, dass diese nur eine langsame CO2-Erzeugung ermöglicht, muss in der Druckgasflasche oder einem sonstigen Druckgasgehäuse das Druckgas zunächst überhaupt erst einmal hergestellt werden, z.B. durch eine chemische Reaktion mindestens zweier Stoffe.By the EP 1 140 692 B1 a beverage dispensing device has become known in which the CO 2 pressure medium supply consists of a arranged in the interior of the beverage container on the floor of compressed gas cylinder with pressure regulating unit attached thereto. Activated carbon is used to generate the compressed gas in the compressed gas cylinder. Apart from the fact that this allows only a slow production of CO 2 , the compressed gas must first be made in the compressed gas cylinder or any other compressed gas housing first, for example by a chemical reaction of at least two substances.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Getränkebehälter der eingangs genannten Art als Einweggebinde mit einfacherem Aufbau zu schaffen, der leichter zu transportieren ist und außerdem eine verbesserte CO2-Druckgasversorgung erlaubt.The invention has for its object to provide a beverage container of the type mentioned as a disposable container with a simpler structure, which is easier to transport and also allows improved CO 2 -Druckgasversorgung.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der CO2-Druckgasspender ein ebenfalls aus thermoplastischem PET-Kunststoff bestehender Behälter ist, der von vornherein mit CO2-Druckgas befüllt ist, wobei der Getränkebehälter eine kopfseitige Einsatzöffnung aufweist, deren Durchmesser größer als der größte Aussendurchmesser des CO2-Behälters ist, und wobei der CO2-Behälter mit einem die Einsatzöffnung verschließenden Getränkebehälter-Deckel verbunden, einfachstenfalls mit diesem verknöpft ist. Es lässt sich somit eine für den üblichen 5 L-Gebrauch äußerst leichte Getränkebehältereinheit bzw. ein Einweggebinde erreichen, bei der bzw. dem das Druckgas in dem zweiten, inneren Behälter ― CO2-Behälter genannt - nicht erst noch erzeugt werden muss, sondern schon gleich in ausreichender Menge gebrauchsfertig zur Verfügung steht.This object is achieved in that the CO 2 -Druckgasspender is also an existing thermoplastic PET plastic container which is filled from the outset with CO 2 -Druckgas, wherein the beverage container has a head-side insertion opening whose diameter is larger than the largest outer diameter of the CO 2 tank, and wherein the CO 2 tank is connected to a closing the insert opening beverage container lid, in the simplest case is buttoned with this. It is thus possible to achieve an extremely light beverage container unit or a disposable container for the usual 5 L use, in which or the compressed gas in the second, inner container - called CO 2 container - does not have yet to be produced, but is already available ready for use in sufficient quantities.

Der CO2-Behälter lässt sich somit ungehindert und in einfacher Weise in den eigentlichen, äußeren Getränkebehälter des Einweggebindes einsetzen. Hierbei empfiehlt es sich, den CO2-Behälter möglichst lang auszuführen, so dass die Einsatzöffnung entsprechend klein gehalten werden kann und der Außenbehälter nicht unnötig geschwächt wird.The CO 2 container can thus be used unhindered and in a simple manner in the actual, outer beverage container of the disposable container. It is advisable to carry out the CO2 tank as long as possible, so that the insert opening can be kept correspondingly small and the outer container is not unnecessarily weakened.

Es wird vorzugsweise vorgeschlagen, dass das Füllvolumen des Getränkebehälters zum CO2-Behälter im Verhältnis von etwa 3 : 1 ausgelegt ist. Wenn somit der Getränkebehälter bei einem einzuhaltenden maximalen Fülldruck von 7 bar ein Füllvolumen von 7 L und der CO2-Behälter von 1,7 L aufweist, liegt ein KEG bzw. Getränkebehälter mit dem üblichen 5 L Volumen für die Getränkeflüssigkeit vor, ohne dass das Gesamtgewicht der erfindungsgemäßen Zweibehältereinheit den für die Handhabung vorgeschriebenen Grenzwert überschreitet.It is preferably proposed that the filling volume of the beverage container to the CO 2 container in the ratio of about 3: 1 is designed. Thus, if the beverage container with a maximum filling pressure of 7 bar to be observed has a filling volume of 7 L and the CO 2 container of 1.7 L, is a KEG or beverage container with the usual 5 L volume for the beverage liquid before, without the Total weight of the two-tank unit according to the invention exceeds the prescribed for handling limit.

Wenn nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung der Getränkebehälter-Deckel einheitlich mit der Druckreguliereinheit und der auch das Steigrohr umfassenden Zapfventileinheit ausgebildet ist, lässt sich eine komplett vormontierte, alle Funktionsteile enthaltende Montageeinheit erreichen, die dann nur noch auf den Getränke- bzw. Außenbehälter aufgesetzt zu werden braucht. Zur Deckelbefestigung und damit der vormontierten Montageeinheit eignet sich ebenfalls wiederum eine einfache Schraubverbindung.If, according to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the beverage container lid is formed uniformly with the pressure regulating unit and also the riser comprising dispensing valve unit, a completely pre-assembled, all functional parts containing assembly unit can be achieved, which then placed only on the beverage or outer container needs to be. To cover attachment and thus the preassembled mounting unit is also in turn a simple screw.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Ansprüchen und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung. Es zeigen:

Ein Einweggebinde 1 zum Entnehmen bzw. Zapfen von Getränkeflüssigkeit besteht nach Fig. 1 aus einem Getränkebehälter 2 und einem von vornherein mit einem CO2-Druckgas, das somit beim Zapfgebrauch nicht erst noch erzeugt werden muss, befüllten CO2-Behälter 3. Sowohl der Getränkebehälter 2 als auch der CO2-Behälter 3 bestehen aus PET. Die kopfseitige Einsatzöffnung 4 des Getränkebehälters 2 ist ausreichend groß, um den CO2-Behälter 3 ungehindert und störungsfrei in den Getränkebehälter 2 integrieren zu können. Der CO2-Behälter 3 ist sehr lang, so dass die Einsatzöffnung 4 nur einen geringen Durchmesser erfordert. Beide Behälter 2, 3 besitzen Anschlussköpfe 5 bzw. 6 in Form von Aufknöpfnocken oder ―wulsten. Alternativ sind Anschlussgewinde möglich.A disposable container 1 for removing or tapping of beverage liquid is after Fig. 1 from a beverage container 2 and a from the outset with a CO 2 -Druckgas, which thus does not have yet to be generated during dispensing, filled CO 2 container 3. Both the beverage container 2 and the CO 2 container 3 are made of PET. The head-side insertion opening 4 of the beverage container 2 is sufficiently large to be able to integrate the CO 2 container 3 unhindered and trouble-free in the beverage container 2. The CO2 container 3 is very long, so that the insertion opening 4 requires only a small diameter. Both containers 2, 3 have connection heads 5 and 6 in the form of Aufknöpfnocken or -wulsten. Alternatively, connection threads are possible.

Das zapffertige Einweggebinde 1 ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Die Einsatzöffnung 4 des Getränkebehälters 2 ist durch einen auf den Anschlusskopf 5 aufgesteckten bzw. damit verknöpften Deckel 7 verschlossen. Der Deckel 7 ist gleichzeitig einheitlich mit einer Druckreguliereinheit 8 für den mit 7 bar ausgelegten CO2-Behälter 3 und einer Zapfventileinheit 9, die mit einem bis an den Boden des Getränkebehälters 2 herangeführten Steigrohr 10 versehen ist, ausgebildet. In diese Deckeleinheit ist über seinen Anschlusskopf 6 sogleich auch der langgestreckte CO2-Behälter 3 integriert.The tapping disposable container 1 is in Fig. 2 shown. The insertion opening 4 of the beverage container 2 is closed by a plugged onto the connection head 5 and thus buttoned lid 7. The lid 7 is at the same time uniform with a pressure regulating unit 8 for the designed with 7 bar CO 2 container 3 and a nozzle unit 9, which is provided with a zoom up to the bottom of the beverage container 2 riser 10 is formed. In this cover unit, the elongate CO 2 container 3 is integrated immediately via its connection head 6.

Bei Zapfbetätigung des Einweggebindes 1 gelangt über die Druckreguliereinheit 8 aus dem CO2-Behälter 3 eine erforderliche CO2-Druckgasmenge, wie durch den Strömungspfeil 11 angedeutet, in das Innere des Getränkebehälters 2 und treibt die Flüssigkeit über das Steigrohr 10 und die Zapfventileinheit 9 zum Zapfhahn 12.When Zapfbetätigung the disposable 1 passes through the Druckreguliereinheit 8 from the CO 2 tank 3 a required amount of CO 2 -Druckgasmenge, as indicated by the flow arrow 11, in the interior of the beverage container 2 and drives the liquid through the riser 10 and the nozzle unit 9 Tap 12.
