Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for dispensing a carbonated beverage, for example beer.
  • EP 0077910 in which an issuing nozzle is disclosed.
  • the nozzle comprises an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member arranged coaxially one inside the other.
  • the inner coaxial member is provided with a resilient sealing element at a distal end and the outer tubular member has been provided with a nozzle shaped open-end.
  • WO 01/52621 is disclosed an apparatus for dispensing a carbonated beverage, such as for example a soft drink or beer, where the apparatus comprises a dispensing nozzle which nozzle at a distal end is provided with electric or electronic switch means which when encountering the bottom of a container activates a controller in the apparatus.
  • the controller carries out a number of processes before the liquid is dispenses such as for example reducing the pressure in the liquid to be dispensed which is forwarded beforehand to an intermediate reservoir.
  • the apparatus furthermore includes an elevator for the container such that the container for example in the shape of a cup may be placed on the elevator and the apparatus activated in order to dispense liquid.
  • the cup After activation the cup is elevated until the bottom of the cup comes into contact with the electronic switch means arranged in the distal end of the nozzle.
  • the liquid in the intermediate reservoir is pressure reduced to a suitable pressure close to atmospheric pressure after which the liquid is dispensed into the cup.
  • the elevator After the dispensing has terminated, the elevator lowers the now filled cup and makes it available for the user.
  • WO 2011/069513 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1, the device being adapted for dispensing a liquid under pressure, in particular a carbonated beverage, where said device comprises connection means for connecting said device to the source of liquid, and where the device in the opposite end of the connection means has an valve which valve may be brought into a closed position where no liquid is dispensed, and an open position where liquid is dispensed.
  • the valve incorporates a separate valve body cooperating with a valve seat, the valve body having a head portion and a stem portion. The stem portion in the closed position extends out of the valve, and a surface of said head portion in the closed position is in contact with said valve seat and in said open position is out of contact with said valve seat.
  • the head portion is moved from the closed to the open position when the stem portion is actuated by external means, e.g. by a bottom of a glass, thereby mechanically urging the stem and thereby the head portion out of contact with the valve seat, and such that when the stem is released from being actuated by the external means, the head portion will return into contact with the valve seat under the action of the pressure from the beverage.
  • external means e.g. by a bottom of a glass
  • a device for dispensing the device comprising connection means for connecting said device to a source of carbonated beverage, and where the device at the opposite end of the connection means has a valve that may be brought into a closed position where no beverage is dispensed, and an open position where beverage is dispensed, the valve comprising a valve housing provided internally with an annular valve seat and an axially symmetric valve body which is displaceable along its axis of symmetry so that the valve body can interact with the valve seat, where the valve body includes a head portion and a stem portion, where the stem portion extends from the head portion at the side of the head portion facing the valve seat, the stem portion further extending through an opening, the opening being concentric about the axis of symmetry of the valve body, and where a contact surface of the head portion is in contact with the valve seat in the closed position and is out of contact with said valve seat in the open position, respectively, the head portion being urged into contact with the valve seat under the action of the beverage supplied through the connection means in the
  • the dispensing device is peculiar in that throttle means is/are arranged at the discharge outlet(s) for constricting a cross-sectional area of the discharge outlet(s) through which the beverage is to pass when the head portion is in the open position, the throttle means arranged such the cross-sectional area of the discharge outlets can be adjusted by moving the throttle means manually.
  • the method according to the invention comprises dispensing a carbonated beverage into a glass, using a dispensing device including a valve provided with a valve body and a stem projecting out of the valve, comprising actuating the valve body by an inner surface of the glass so that the beverage can flow out through at least one discharge outlet of the dispensing device.
  • the inventive method is peculiar by including manually setting a throttle means provided at the discharge outlet of the dispensing device so as to control foam formation in the carbonated beverage when the beverage exits the discharge outlet.
  • the throttle means it is possible to set the throttle means and thereby control the degree of foaming when dispensing a beverage into a glass, a mug or similar cup.
  • the cup is applied to the dispensing device such that the valve is opened, typically by pushing the projecting part the valve body with the bottom of the cup, causing the beverage to flow out into the bottom of the cup.
  • the cup is then filled from the bottom up while the discharge outlet(s) of the dispensing device is/are covered by the rising liquid.
  • Throttling is applied by limiting the cross-sectional area of the discharge outlet of the dispensing device, i.e. limiting the cross-sectional area at the discharge outlet by adjusting the throttling means before the dispensing operation.
  • the manual throttling enables individual adjustment for each dispensing operation such that the foaming can be adapted to the wish of the consumer to the size or shape of cup or glass, or to the nature of the beverage where particularly different beers vary much with regard to their foaming properties and the inherent properties of the foam.
  • the throttling means also enables the dispensing personnel to provide beverages with a substantially constant level of foam - this regardless of the person operating the dispensing unit. In order to create a substantially constant foam level it is necessary to provide the liquid to the dispensing unit under substantially constant pressure and temperature. Once the throttle is set (and temperature and pressure is substantially constant) all dispensed beverages will be provided with the same or substantially same foam layer.
  • At least two discharge outlets formed in the valve are arranged so as to direct the flow of liquid laterally in relation to an axis of symmetry of the valve body.
  • a particularly simple embodiment of the throttling means of the dispensing device can be provided when the throttle means is provided substantially as a ring member which is slidably seated on a cylindrical outer side of the valve.
  • a ring member is easily operated by the person dispensing beverage and individual adjustment of the throttling action and thereby the foaming effect is readily enabled.
  • the ring member can mounted so as to enable a linear displacement of the ring member in parallel with the axis of symmetry of the valve body between an active position in which the ring member at least partially covers the discharge outlets, and an inactive position in which the ring member is not covering any part of the discharge outlets.
  • the ring member is configured and mounted so as to enable a rotational displacement of the ring member about the axis of symmetry of the valve body between an active position in which the ring member at least partially covers the discharge outlets, and an inactive position in which the ring member is not covering any part of the discharge outlets.
  • a partial covering of the discharge outlets by the ring member can be provided by apertures with a cross-sectional area less than the cross-sectional area of the discharge outlets.
  • the apertures, acting as diaphragms, can optionally be placed opposite the discharge outlets, and the degree of throttling will be determined by the cross-sectional area of the apertures.
  • the dispensing device according to the invention can thereby be provided with pre-set degrees of throttling, and the user can simply select the throttling desired for the particular beverage or dispensing condition.
  • This embodiment of the throttle means can be varied in several ways, such as having apertures with different cross-sectional areas distributed on a ring-shaped throttle member so that different apertures are engaged for different foaming effect.
  • the throttle means includes one or more throttle members which are provided seated within the valve adjacent to one or more discharge outlets and such that the throttle member or members can be manually displaced in parallel with the axis of symmetry of the valve body and into the flow path of the liquid transversely thereto. Adjustment of the throttling is thereby performed by moving the said part or parts up and down along the axis of symmetry, whereby the flow path of the liquid is more or less constricted.
  • the valve comprises a two-part housing, of which a lower housing part is provided with the discharge outlets and the valve seat and an upper housing part is provided with the connection means for connecting said device to the source of liquid, the upper housing part partially enclosing the lower housing part as a skirt, and wherein the upper and lower housing parts are mutually displaceable so that the upper housing part can operate as the throttle means, the upper housing part capable of being manually positioned in an active position where the throttle means at least partially covers the discharge outlets, and in an inactive position where the throttle means is not covering any part of the discharge outlets. Adjustment of the throttling is performed by moving the upper housing part relative to the lower housing part.
  • the valve comprises a housing with a central bore in which the valve seat and an opening through which the stem portion extends is formed, the stem portion of the valve body provided at its end opposite the head portion with a widened disc-shaped bottom end extending across the opening and across the free end face of the housing such that at least one discharge outlet is formed between the free end of the housing and the disc-shaped bottom end of the stem portion, and wherein the cross-sectional area of the discharge outlet or outlets can be adjusted by one or more adjustable members in the form of pins extending through the disc-shaped bottom end towards the free end of the housing. The position of the adjustable members will then determine the cross-sectional area of the discharge outlet or outlets, and throttling can be adjusted by moving the members relative to the disc-shaped bottom of the stem of the valve body.
  • the throttle means can be provided with a scale in the form of marks or notches indicating various degrees of throttling of the discharge outlet or outlets.
  • FIG. 1a-5d show five different embodiments of a dispensing device according to the invention.

  • valve body 3 is seen when the free end 6a of the stem portion has been actuated into an open position of the valve where there is no contact between the valve seat 7 and the head portion 5, thus providing a free passage of beverage from the passage 2, through the valve chamber 4 and out through the outlets 10.
  • dispensing device is generally such as in common with the prior art, e.g. as disclosed in WO 2011/069513 .
  • dispensing is performed by pushing a glass or similar up around the device until the bottom of the glass comes in contact with the free end 6a of the stem portion, and then moving the glass further so that the valve body 3 reaches the position shown in Figs. 1a-1d . The glass is then filled from the bottom up.
  • a throttling means in the form of a manually slidable ring 20.

  • the areas allowed for beverage flowing through the outlets 10 are reduced, thus causing increased pressure drop and enhanced foaming of the outflowing beverage.
  • the apertures could have a smaller diameter or a different shape than the discharge outlets 10.
  • the above embodiment could be adapted with notches or markings 32 on the ring 30 that indicate certain degrees of constriction of the flow area so that easy setting can be done before dispensing a certain beverage. This is particularly important in the case of changing between various types of beer.
