Definitions

  • Container for holding pressurized beverage liquids
  • the invention relates to a container for receiving pressurized beverage liquids, such as beer, soft drinks and wine, which is provided with a top, arranged for filling or emptying the beverage liquid to a fitting fitting and a whoberststelle.
  • pressurized beverage liquids such as beer, soft drinks and wine
  • Acruberst- or predetermined breaking point exhibiting container is through the EP 0 686 120 B1 known.
  • This made of metal container has a filling material or the beverage liquid receiving hollow body, which consists of a substantially cylindrical shell and two outwardly curved end floors. At least one of the end floors has a shape, which preferably protrudes as a so-called ground cup from the bottom curvature, wherein in the bottom cup a container connection piece is provided. At least one of the end floors is provided with a notch formed on its outside as a predetermined breaking point, which fulfills the function of an overpressure protection or overload protection.
  • the overpressure protection which in different variants from the DE 40 41 636 A1 is known to prevent, that in case of improper handling of the container as well as in case of malfunction or malfunction of pressure reducing organs of the container internal pressure rises to very high values until the container bursts. Rather, in a defined pressure separation from the maximum bursting pressure of the container in a safe manner, the resulting overpressure by automatic Opening the safety bursting point or breakpoint are derived in the container wall.
  • a container with a bladder therein which is formed at the top, at its head end with a collar-like connection means that for filling the liquid with a fitting or safety fitting is connectable, the closable through holes for on the one hand a compressed gas and on the other hand has the beverage liquid.
  • the containers or bubbles, in particular made of PET, are used for serving with CO 2 -discharge gas of beverages tempered to drinking temperature.
  • a beverage dispensing device with a top of the liquid container arranged fitting is further from the EP 2 121 505 B1 known.
  • a container opening is formed to the outside with a flaring, which is encompassed by a connector, such as a metallic press ring or a screw-on plastic ring.
  • the riser or fitting tube is designed there as a movable part of the seal which is adjustable in its longitudinal direction and can be positioned in a stepped manner.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a container of the type mentioned, in which in a simpler manner a security bursting point can also be provided with better functionality.
  • the safety bursting point is formed as an integrally formed on the fitting radially projecting, concentric with a standing inside the container in flow connection Wandungsloch of the fitting arranged annular projection, wherein the annular shoulder receives a Wandungsloch covering and occlusive, membrane-like bursting element.
  • a security bursting station is made possible, which is not subject to any restrictions during manufacture, in that it is formed in one piece with the fitting which is present anyway for filling with a beverage liquid in a brewery or for tapping by the consumer.
  • a possibly used bubble of PET or plastic by notches intended breaking points either material-removing as by milling or by Leaser processing or material displacing by embossing a closed or partially interrupted, usually circular notch.
  • the membrane-like bursting element consisting of various materials, such as ceramic or metal or a plastic sheet, is required to be introduced into the annular projection and to cover the wall hole by e.g. Gluing to be attached.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that an inserted from the outside with a cylindrical mold head in the ring approach or plugged onto this perforation a the membrane-like bursting element facing tip and manual relief of theandberststelle a the forming head in the circumferential direction of the fitting subsequent, when lifting the Fitting away the tip has in the membrane-like bursting element moving tab.
  • the bidirectional whyrupststelle the fitting such as a basket, flat or triangular fitting, according to the invention offers an additional function, namely in addition to the overpressure or overload protection targeted, manually from externally initiated pressure relief, in particular to ensure a completely pressureless container for its disposal.
  • the otherwise stationary tip moves in the direction of the container or its membrane-like bursting element and pierces or destroys this.
  • the membrane-like bursting element can also loose, possibly insert with the interposition of a sealing ring in the ring approach.
  • the invention proposes that an outwardly projecting release tab is formed on the tab.
  • the adjoining the outer circumference over its limited length to the wall of the fitting tab can thus easily take over the same time serving to release pressure triggering and pull away.
  • the tab is formed in the region between the release tab and the forming head with a film hinge extending over its width. It can thus control the originality state of the security burst station. Because if this has already been manually operated to relieve pressure, the then broken film hinge is immediately recognizable.
  • FIG. 1 One in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 illustrated container 1 for receiving or for pressurized gas dispensing of beverage liquids such as beer, soft drinks and wine, consists of an outer steel shell 2 and a blast 3 arranged therein made of thermoplastic material, in particular PET.
  • a fitting 5 is attached via an adapter ring 4, which has a protruding into the bubble 3 riser 6, via which the liquid rises.
  • To the fitting 5 can be connected for filling with a beverage liquid in, for example, a brewery a connection piece or for tapping by the consumer a tap head.
  • the fitting 5 is, as known, provided with flow channels for on the one hand a compressed gas and on the other hand, the liquid.
  • the fitting 5 is formed on its outer circumference with awhoberststelle 7.
  • a radially outwardly projecting annular shoulder 8 integrally formed with the fitting 5 is a radially outwardly projecting annular shoulder 8 which concentrically surrounds a wall hole 10 communicating with the container interior via a flow channel 9 and the flow channels of the fitting (cf. Fig. 3 ).
  • a membrane-like bursting element 12 is inserted here with the interposition of a sealing ring 11, which is the Wandungsloch 10 closes or covers and responds or opens when overpressure occurs (maximum 25 bar, lower for thin-walled containers).
  • the optionally membrane-like rupture element 12 to be adhesively bonded is held in the annular shoulder 8 by a perforation element 13, which is inserted into the annular shoulder 8 with a forming head 14 and fixed there by clamping, for example.
  • the forming head 14 is formed with an inwardly projecting, the membrane-like bursting element 12 facing tip 15 (see. Fig. 3 ), which supports the response or opening of the safety bursting point 7, because it contributes to the fact that the bursting element 12, which is acted upon in the event of overpressure, then tears or is destroyed at the latest when it strikes the tip 15.
  • the perforation element 13 is further provided with a tab 16, which in the in Fig. 4 illustrated, fully assembled installation situation of their length conforms to the wall of the fitting 5.
  • Thecoreberststelle 7 receives by the perforation 13 an additional function, namely a targeted manual pressure relief by lifting or pulling away the tab 16 of the fitting 5, whereby the tip 15 in the direction of the membrane-like bursting element 12, in this destructively penetrating, is moved.
  • a release lug 17 for handling-friendly removal or removal of the tab 16, this is provided with a release lug 17.
  • a living hinge 18 which allows a check on the originality state of the security burst 7 by immediately recognizable by visual inspection, whether the film hinge already broken and thus a manual pressure relief has already been carried out.
