Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispensing device for a container which is filled with liquid and sealed pressure-tight.
  • a dispensing tube For the removal of liquid from the container serves a dispensing tube, which has a recessed into the container storage and transport position and can be pulled out of the container into a standby position in which shut off by actuating a flow path through the dispensing tube and release.
  • containers examples include barrels, small barrels (party kegs) or cans in which CO 2 -containing liquids, in particular drinks, are filled under pressure. It's all about party kegs for beer.
  • An actuating lever is attached to the pin at the free end of the dispensing tube pulled out into the ready position. With the actuating lever, a valve roller let into the dispensing tube is rotated or a valve spool in the dispensing tube is adjusted axially.
  • the associated construction costs are high.
  • Another disadvantage is the large footprint for the operating lever. The latter should either stop outside in front of the container when it is inserted into the storage and transport position, where it takes up space, disturbs and irritates to unwanted manipulation, or come to rest in a special sinking, the production of which is complicated.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a dispensing device of the type mentioned, which has an inexpensive, compact structure without protruding parts in the storage and transport position of the dispensing tube and is characterized by an immediately clear, comfortable actuator for the liquid removal.
