Definitions

  • This invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing a carbonated beverage from a bottle by a simple push of a button, whether the bottle is standing or lying down.
  • Carbonated drinks are sold in glass and pet bottles as well as in aluminum cans in very large numbers. Every day many millions of such bottles are opened and the contents are poured out and drunk. The carbon dioxide in the drink, which gives the same freshness, caused by their outgassing pressure increase in the bottle. Everybody is familiar with the pffffft sound, which can be heard when opening such a bottle, because a certain overpressure in the bottle first escapes.
  • the bottles are available in different sizes, with 0.33 liter, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 liter content up to 3 liter bottles. However, larger bottles are not easy to handle for all people. Especially smaller children as well as weak or elderly people are struggling with the handling of heavy bottles.
  • the bottles are often stored in a refrigerator and if a drink is desired, the bottle must be removed from the refrigerator, opened, raised to pour and tilted over a drinking cup and then re-supplied in the refrigerator. These steps can be laborious or even impossible to accomplish for small children or for debilitated adults - such as the sick or old or handicapped people.
  • the initial opening of the threaded closure which is also provided with a guarantee strip, which must be broken when opening, requires some effort, which can not be applied by all.
  • the repeated opening and closing of such a beverage bottle leads to the escape of a portion of the carbon dioxide, so that the drink stale
  • Figure 1 shows a device with a dispensing valve and a separate carbon dioxide valve to add carbon dioxide into the bottle when its internal pressure drops below a certain level.
  • a pressure regulator is disclosed to regulate the carbon dioxide pressure in the beverage. But not only the pressure drop when dispensing carbonated bottle contents, which usually prevents a complete emptying, is a problem.
  • GB 2 219 988 shows a dispenser, which can be screwed onto a bottle.
  • a tube leads down to the bottom of the bottle.
  • a manually operated, spring-loaded valve reduces the pressure in the outlet by opening the compressed tube at a location very close to the spout to controllably dispense the beverage from the bottle due to the increased internal pressure.
  • the dispenser also includes a pressure regulator with a CO 2 pressure capsule from which CO 2 is added when the internal pressure of the bottle falls below a certain level.
  • this dispenser consists of a very large number of parts, including metallic parts, and it is correspondingly expensive to manufacture and assemble.
  • dispensers which can be subsequently screwed onto a bottle. However, a first, substantial portion of carbon dioxide will already escape through the first opening of the bottle, just to screw the dispenser onto the bottle. On the other hand, such dispensers are only rarely used - if at all.
  • the pressure control device has an axially movable control element, which is acted upon by a biasing means, so that it is kept closed becomes.
  • the internal pressure acts on the control element in the closing direction.
  • the ambient pressure acts on the control element in the direction of its open position.
  • a new dispenser can not concern only the basic principle of the function, which is well-known, but rather only a specific embodiment of such a dispenser and a specific implementation of this basic principle, so that this technically better and easier implemented, and also in such a way, which makes such a dispenser to a very cost-effective, but reliable functioning and extremely easy to use mass product. All this is the basic requirement that such a dispenser gets a chance to survive in the market.
  • a push-button dispenser for bottles with carbonated drinks with a screwable on a bottle head with side spout, push button on its top and downwardly projecting suction tube, which is intended to reach down to the bottom of the bottle to be equipped, and above opens into a valve device in the head, which has a with respect to the bottle axially movable control member, which is acted upon by a spring in the closing direction, and the opening from above by hand with pressure on the push button can be acted upon, so that the pressure in the interior of the suction tube can be reduced to ambient pressure, whereby liquid from the bottle by the prevailing internal pressure in the bottle from the lower mouth of the suction pipe via the spout can be driven
  • this pressure button dispenser is characterized in that the suction tube is made of a rubber-elastic plastic and be Outside and inside cross-section are designed so that it can be narrowed at reduced to ambient pressure internal pressure relative to the prevailing from the outside increased pressure by deformation in its flow cross-section.
  • FIG. 1 shows the complete push-button dispenser in its assembled state, ready to be screwed onto a bottle filled with carbonated beverage.
  • the push-button dispenser consists of a head 1 and an infected on its underside suction tube 10, which is still provided at the lower mouth end with a mouthpiece 11. This has an increased density, so that the suction tube 10, when the bottle is due to the weight of the mouth piece 11 is curved downwards arc and the mouth piece 11 then comes to rest at the lowest point of the inside of the lying bottle, so always until last Liquid is sucked.
  • FIG. 2 shows the head 1 with its parts in the assembled state, but in an enlarged view. It can be seen above the spout channel 15, which is closed here by a guarantee cover 2.
  • This Jardiniedeckel 2 has a dome-shaped cover 29 on top, under which hides the actual push button of the dispenser.
  • a cap 27 is formed, which closes the mouth of the spout 15.
  • a warranty lug 28 which has at least one material bridge 33 with predetermined breaking point.
  • this warranty cover 2 In the course of production of this warranty cover 2 is cheated on the underlying version 4 and after cooling of the parts of this warranty cover 2 can be removed only by breaking the breaking points on the material bridges 33 from the head 1 of the push button dispenser. It therefore provides a reliable first-hole guarantee and prevents any debris or foreign matter from entering the spout channel 15 before the purchaser removes this guarantee lid 2 for the first time.
  • the version 4 forms on its one side the actual spout channel 15 with mouth 13, so a channel that leads from the inside to the outside. As you can see, this version 4 is shaped waisted on both sides. Thus, the version 4 can be easily grasped from above by grasping with two curved fingers, for instance between the index and middle fingers of one hand. A bottle equipped with this push-button dispenser can therefore be comfortably carried with two fingers.
  • the Aufschraubmuffe 7 has for this purpose on its inside a corresponding thread, preferably a thread for the widespread 28mm nozzle of PET bottles. Other thread sizes are of course also possible.
  • the upper end portion 12 of the subsequent conical flow channel 9 is inserted. At the lower end of this conical flow channel 9 sits a clamping socket 21 for the suction tube 10.
  • This clamping socket 21 forms two gripper arms 31 which comprise the outer contour of the suction tube 10 accurately and inside the clamping socket 21 is formed so that the clear cross section of the suction tube 10th exactly merges into the inner contour of the terminal frame 21 and a smooth transition is ensured. This is important for laminar flow as possible and suppression of foaming in the carbonated beverage flowing through.
  • FIG. 3 you can see the push button dispenser with all its components in an exploded view.
  • a typical PET bottle 20 is shown as a size comparison, which is to be equipped with this push-button dispenser.
  • the components of the push-button dispenser are described from top to bottom.
  • the ISOiedeckel 2 with its dome-shaped cover 29 and its cap 27, which has formed on its inside a sealing ring 32, which thus sealingly comes to rest in the interior of the mouth 13 of the spout 15.
  • Opposite is located on the guarantee cover 2, the guarantee lug 28, which is connected on both sides via fine material bridges 33 with predetermined breaking points with the comprehensive guarantee ring 34. Only when this warranty bag 28 is broken under breaking the material bridges 33, the guarantee cover 2 can be removed from the dispenser head 1 and the dispenser is ready for operation.
  • the next component is the pushbutton 16 of the dispenser. On its underside two plastic springs 3 are formed, each in the form of three contiguous resilient elements. In the center, a coupling 14 is formed on the underside of the push button 16, in which the control element 5 is clickable, as will be shown.
  • the next component is the socket 4 for the spout. It is shown here from behind and essentially comprises this spout 6, which can be seen below. The version 4 is designed waisted so that the dispenser can be easily grasped and carried with two fingers.
  • the element shown below is the control element 5. It has the shape of an arrow with a countersunk-shaped sealing cone 23 at the front end, while it has a rear sword-shaped extension 24, with schiffchenförmigem cross-section.
  • the coupling 14 on the underside of the push button 16 can be plugged together with the upper end of this extension 24, so that then the control element 5 can be depressed on the one hand by the push button 16, on the other hand force pulled down by the compression springs 3 is pulled back up again.
  • This receiving sleeve 8 fits me on its outside in the upper end portion 12 of the conical flow channel 9, a plastic tube that widens conically from bottom to top in its interior.
  • a clamping socket 21 for the suction tube 10 with two downwardly extending gripper arms 31, between which the suction tube 10 is inserted, so that a dense and smooth transition of its inner contour is achieved in those of the flow channel 9.
  • FIG. 4 This push button dispenser with all its components is shown in another exploded view from a different angle. It can be seen again at the top of the ISiedeckel 2 with dome-shaped cover 29, and cap 27 and warranty flap 28. Below you can see the push button 16 with the two formed on its underside plastic compression springs 3. Then follows the waisted version 4 with the top cover 36 for the Ausgusskanal. It can be seen that the upper end of the socket 4 is at an angle to the mounting axis. This upper end forms an annular socket, in which the push button 16 fits, which is then also arranged obliquely to the mounting axis.
  • This inclined plane is aligned with the spout channel, which is additionally arcuately slightly curved downwards, as can be seen from the cover 36 of the spout 15.
  • an inwardly projecting projection 35 on which the lower ends of the compression springs 3 are supported after assembly.
  • this push button dispenser is described in detail below on the basis of FIG. 5 described.
  • a receiving sleeve 8 is inserted from above.
  • the control element 5 is pushed from above through the upper end portion of the conical flow channel 9 and afterwards the receiving sleeve 8 is inserted from above. After that, the control element 5 can no longer be pulled upwards because it is enclosed by the receiving sleeve 8.
  • the receiving sleeve 8 forms with its inner side for the shoulder of the countersunk sealing cone 23 of the control element 5, a sealing surface 25.
  • the sealing cone 23 is down from the sealing surface 25 lifted away and it forms an annular gap.
  • the pressure in the conical flow channel 9 is thereby reduced, and liquid flows from below around the sealing cone 23 due to the higher internal pressure in the bottle and flows around it upwards. The liquid finally passes through the spout channel 15 to the outside.
  • the flow cross-section thus increases in the mass in which the differential pressure decreases. Through this trick, it is possible to achieve an approximately uniform mass flow when emptying the bottle.
  • the outflow velocity is high, but the flow area is small. Gradually, the outflow velocity is reduced, but the flow area is increased.
  • the suction tube 10 is shown in a perspective view, with the associated Saugmündung Gla 11.
  • the suction pipe 10 may have about such a cross-sectional shape, the outside is not circular and inside a flow channel 17 with both sides a subsequent extension 26 forms.
  • the suction pipe 10 has a roundish cross-sectional shape on the outside, but the cross-section runs at an acute angle in each case on each side of a wing 18, and the inner hollow cross-section forms a central flow channel 17, with on both sides of the same subsequent flat projections 26 extending into the Wings 18 extend into it.
  • Such a suction tube is preferably made of a rubber-elastic plastic, for example made of polyurethane silicone with a Shore C hardness of 40 to 60 and an inner diameter of the central channel of 1.5mm. This makes it possible to generate an approximately constant volume flow of approx. 1.3 to 1.4 l / min over the entire continuously reducing pressure difference range during dispensing. With harder material, for example with a Shore C hardness of 85 and more, the suction pipe behaves like a rigid pipe and the function is no longer guaranteed.
  • FIG. 7 shows this preferred intake manifold cross-section left under the same pressure inside and outside, and right next to it with reduced pressure inside.
  • the suction tube is therefore not completely circular outside and has inside a flow channel 17 with on both sides each a subsequent extension 26. It has a roundish cross-sectional shape, is about 9mm high and 13.5mm wide, and on both sides of the cross-section runs at an acute angle in each case a wing 18 with a rounded 55 ° tip, and the inner hollow cross section forms a central flow channel 17, with both sides the same subsequent flat, 1.3mm high projections 26, which each extend by 4.5mm laterally in the wings 18 inside.
  • the suction pipe is compressed from the outside and with sufficient pressure difference the cross section is as shown in the figure on the right. Only the central channel 17 remains open, while the two Fort accounts 26 are left and right closed. Accordingly, the flow area is restricted.
  • the extensions 26 open a gap wide and then with decreasing pressure difference more and more, so they gradually release the entire flow cross-section as shown in the picture on the left.
  • the effective flow rate remains similar across the entire pressure drop. Ideally, it is about 1.3 to 1.4 l / min.
  • FIG. 8 is an alternative intake manifold cross-section under the same pressure inside and outside and shown right next to it with reduced pressure inside.
  • the suction tube simply has a rectangular cross-section with on the inside a flattened flow channel with semicircular side walls. Under high external pressure and low internal pressure, the suction tube is completely compressed in the central area as shown in the picture on the right, so that the flow channel is closed in this area, and two flow passages are formed with an overall greatly reduced flow cross section. When the external pressure decreases, the suction tube gradually opens up to the relaxed position in the picture on the left.
  • FIG. 9 is a suction tube with star-shaped cross-section under the same pressure inside and outside and shown right next to it with reduced pressure inside.
  • the higher external pressure acts in a squeezing of the star-shaped protruding wings, so that at maximum external pressure, only an approximately diamond-shaped central cross-section remains free as a flow channel.
  • FIG. 10 shows a dumbbell-shaped intake manifold cross-section under the same pressure inside and outside and to the right with reduced pressure in the interior.
  • the higher external pressure in a complete squeezing of the central region of this suction tube affects, with a circular small flow channel remains open on both sides.
  • the middle area gradually opens up to the relaxed position shown on the left side of the picture.
  • a flow rate can be generated which remains approximately constant over an entire range of a pressure difference of for example 10 5 Pa to 5 x 10 5 Pa, namely approximately between 1.3 and 1.4 l / min. This behavior is under in the diagram FIG. 11 shown.
  • the suction tube 10 made of rubber-elastic plastic, however, still has a certain rigidity, so that it would bend in a lying bottle only slightly from the central axis of the bottle down. So that in a horizontal bottle, the entire contents can be removed due to the prevailing internal pressure, the suction pipe 10 is equipped at its lower end with a mouthpiece 11. This has a density between 2.8 and 3.2 g / ml and is attached to the suction tube 10 from below, so that the suction mouth of the suction tube 10 comes to lie at the lowest point of the bottle interior by virtue of the weight of this mouthpiece 11 when the bottle is lying.
  • the mouth piece 11 is made of, for example, a thermoplastic polybutylene terephthalate PBT and enriched with rock meal and mixed in order to achieve this high density and, correspondingly, a high weight.
  • this push-button dispenser offers even more advantages. Due to the special design of the Ausgiesskanals from the mouth piece 11, namely by the conical extension following the suction pipe 10, a deceleration of the outflow is achieved, which significantly suppresses the formation of foam. After flowing around the sealing cone 23, the liquid initially follows a piece along the sword-shaped extension of the control element 5. Only then it enters the actual spout channel 15 then flows out of the pressure out of this. Experiments showed that a bottle with this push-button dispenser can be emptied practically to a few residual drops, with little foaming.
  • this push-button dispenser consists of an exceptionally low number of components, it is reasonably inexpensive to manufacture and easy to assemble, making it an ideal mass-produced product. Due to the fact that it is made entirely of plastic parts, it is also a disposable dispenser whose parts can all be recycled or incinerated. It even offers a first-opening guarantee and allows a bottle equipped with it to be conveniently carried around hanging between two curved fingers.
