Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to the field of food containers in at least partially liquid form, and more particularly relates to beverage containers, also referred to as "dispensers", in which, for example, a beverage is stored in ready-mixed form in a storage container and, if required, cooled, for example Shape, is removable.
  • beverage containers also referred to as "dispensers”
  • a beverage is stored in ready-mixed form in a storage container and, if required, cooled, for example Shape, is removable.
  • liquid food containers such as beverage containers
  • pre-mixed foodstuffs are stored in containers made predominantly of polycarbonate, which can then be offered for immediate consumption. If necessary, a cooling or heating of the liquid food can take place.
  • Such means for storing and dispensing the liquid food include suitable dispensing tubing made predominantly of silicone so that there is compatibility of the tubing with the food and also the desired elasticity, durability and the like properties. Due to the manufacturing cost of such output hoses are often not replaced with each new filling of the container, resulting in problematic hygienic conditions can arise.
  • such a dispensing hose comprises a lower part with hose and seals and an upper part with a pulling device, which serves to remove the hose at the end of beverage dispensing or in a basic cleaning of the container.
  • the output hose In the conventional construction of the output hose accounts for almost 50% of the total material on the upper part, ie on the traction device, so that in particular when using silicone as the base material of the output tube in about 50% of the total cost caused by the pulling device, but for the actual Use of the dispensing hose is not required.
  • the removal of the dispensing hose by means of the integral pulling device is possible in a simple and time-saving manner.
  • the ease of availability and the relatively high cost of the output hose with pulling device lead to a more frequent use, and this can lead to critical hygienic conditions, especially in connection with food.
  • a reduction of the manufacturing costs is possible by avoiding a special pulling device of an output tube, but on the other hand, a suitable strategy and / or means are provided to allow easy removal of the dispensing tube.
  • a single-use dispensing hose can be provided by saving material, and hence manufacturing costs, and eliminating unnecessary components, such as the pulling apparatus, for use.
  • a means is provided with which the dispensing tube can be efficiently removed, at the same time deliberately causing damage to the dispensing tube causing further use is not possible.
  • hygienic aspects are taken into account without undesirably increasing the overall costs of using corresponding containers.
  • this avoids that an output hose is still used after a replacement.
  • a dispensing tube for dispensing at least partially liquid food from a container.
  • the dispensing tube includes a sealing member adapted to be received in an outlet opening of the container and having a channel and at least one sealing member defining a maximum outer dimension or diameter of the sealing member. Further, the dispensing tube includes a piece of tubing connected to the sealing member for extending the channel.
  • the dispensing hose according to the invention is constructed so that the maximum outer dimension, ie the outer diameter, is determined by the sealing part and the at least one seal formed therein, so that no further larger components are provided.
  • This can total the cost of materials for the Manufacture of the output hose can be kept low and it can be significantly reduced production costs, whereby a change of the output hose is possible without increasing the total cost of ownership. On the other hand, this significantly reduces the effort required to maintain a required hygienic standard.
  • the sealing member and the tube piece are made of the same material, whereby the dispensing tube can be produced by any efficient method, since only a single starting material is to be processed.
  • the dispensing tube is provided as a one-piece piece of material.
  • efficient methods can be used, for example in the form of injection molding, wherein the dispensing tube is provided as an injection molded product.
  • the cost of appropriate injection molding tools and in particular the cost of materials can be kept low.
  • At least the inside of the channel is made of silicone or polyethylene. In this way, well-proven materials known as resistant materials for food contact can be used.
  • a tool for withdrawing an output tube from a container includes a handle and a contact part.
  • the contact member is connected to the handle and adapted to make mechanical contact with the dispensing tube by perforating the dispensing tube by operating the handle.
  • the tool is thus adapted to make a mechanical contact with the dispensing tube, which on the one hand enables reliable removal or removal of the dispensing tube and on the other hand causes permanent damage to the dispensing tube, which prevents further use. In this way, reuse of the dispensing tube is avoided, which improves hygiene when handling food containers, regardless of whether any operators are willing to meet the high hygienic requirements.
  • the contact part has a threaded area.
  • an adjusting device is provided, which is designed to set a penetration depth of the contact part into the dispensing tube. In this way, a reproducible handling of the tool in the removal of each output tube can be ensured. In particular, certain conditions of the container and the dispensing tube can be taken into account, so that, for example, possible damage to the container or even the tool is prevented.
  • the adjusting device is further configured to adjust an intrusion angle of the contact part with respect to the dispensing tube.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a cross-sectional view of a container 1, which is suitable for receiving an at least partially liquid food and in particular a beverage.
  • the container 1 represents a container for holding an already pre-mixed beverage, which can be dispensed via a dispensing area 2 for dispensing by means of an dispensing tube 10.
  • a dispensing area 2 for dispensing by means of an dispensing tube 10.
  • only part of the container 1 is shown without food therein.
  • the dispensing tube 10 includes a sealing member 10A having at least one seal 11 that is configured to provide a reliable seal upon insertion of the dispensing tube 10 into the region 2.
  • the at least one seal 11 defines the maximum outer diameter of the dispensing tube 10.
  • a tube piece 10B forming a channel 12 with the seal part 10A has a smaller outer diameter than the seal part 10A.
  • the dispensing tube 10 is constructed of a suitable material, eg, silicone, polyethylene, etc., preferably as a single piece of material, with the reduced cost of materials allowing a single use of the dispensing tube 10 to be economical, thereby providing a significantly higher hygienic without higher operating costs Standard is achievable.
  • a suitable material eg, silicone, polyethylene, etc.
  • dispensing tube 10 is adapted to the conditions of the dispensing area 2 of a respective container and thus dispensing tubes for different containers may differ accordingly.
  • the proposals are applicable to any type of dispensing hose used for typical food containers.
  • a tool 20 is shown, which is usable for removing the dispensing tube 10, as long as the useful life of the dispensing tube 10 has expired. This may for example be the case before a thorough cleaning of the container 1.
  • the tool 20 is constructed in a suitable manner, so that on the one hand, a mechanical contact with the dispensing tube 10 can be produced to allow removal of the dispensing tube 10, while on the other hand, a deliberate damage to the dispensing tube 10, so that reuse reliable is prevented.
  • the tool 20 comprises a handle 20A, which is provided for example in the form of an elongate lever, wherein in preferred embodiments, the length of the lever can be adjusted according to the dimensions and conditions in the container 1.
  • a contact portion 20B is provided, which is mechanically connected to the handle 20A and further has a suitable shape such that a mechanical contact to the dispensing tube 10 can be produced by perforating it at a suitable position.
  • a threaded portion 21 is provided in the contact portion 20B, e.g. in the form of a thread of a corkscrew so that the contact member 20B, by rotation of the handle 20A in an appropriate position with respect to the dispensing tube 10, can penetrate and permanently damage it, while providing reliable mechanical contact.
  • the handle 20A may be provided as part of an adjusting device so that the length of the handle 20A for a given depth of penetration forces a suitable angle or angular range, thus permitting the dispensing tube 10 to penetrate suitable position causes.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows the tool 20 when it is first introduced almost vertically into the dispensing tube 10, wherein the handle 20A is in a suitable position in which no contact is made to the nearest wall of the container 1.
  • an adjusting device 22 is further provided which, for example, is conceivable such that an initial penetration depth D for the contact part 20B is determined. In this way, it is ensured that a suitable position for the threaded portion 21 is reached before tilting the tool 20, so that the piercing of the material of the dispensing tube 10 takes place at a desired position, for example below seals and below the rigid dispensing area 2. By adjusting the depth D, it is thus ensured that piercing below the area 2 occurs after tilting, so that no damage to this area or the tool 20 is caused.
  • the dispensing tube can be inexpensively manufactured without a pulling device and can be quickly and cost effectively removed by the tool, causing permanent perforation damage that prevents inadvertent reuse of the dispensing tube.
