Definitions
- the invention relates to a dispensing head for a beverage keg, in particular beer keg, which has a valve head with a spring-loaded valve disc, with a housing, a connecting element for securing the housing to the valve head of the beverage keg, an inlet formed on the housing for connecting a propellant gas line, in the Housing movably mounted plunger, which contains a riser channel and the spring-loaded by pressing into the valve head
- Valve disc opens, an output for connection of a beverage line and an actuating mechanism for actuating the plunger.
- tapping heads for tapping beverages by means of propellant from a keg, in particular a keg are known (see e.g.
- a keg is a reusable barrel made of stainless steel. It has on its top a centrally located valve, the so-called keg head. On this a suitable tap head can be mounted by means of the propellant gas (eg carbon dioxide) introduced from a separate container into the barrel and thus standing under pressure from the barrel can be promoted to the tap.
- the keg head is usually provided with a flange on which the tap head, which has a matching receptacle with undercut, is slid sideways.
- an annular valve disc is arranged, which is pressed by a compression spring in the closed position of the valve.
- the valve disc surrounds with little play the upper end of a rising to the bottom of the beverage barrel riser, wherein the upper end of the tube is closed by a circular disc which projects radially relative to the tube and defines a circumferential sealing surface with respect to the circular disc.
- the riser Near below the disc, the riser has through holes for the Flow of the pressed out by means of the propellant gas from the barrel drink. So that the propellant gas generating an overpressure can enter the barrel, the annular valve disk is pressed into the keg head against the force of the compression spring by means of a plunger displaceably mounted in the tap head.
- the plunger is tubular.
- He has at its lower, the annular valve disc facing the end of a diameter extension, the inner diameter is greater than the diameter of the circular disc, which is attached to the upper end of the riser used in the barrel.
- the upper end of the plunger is designed as a connection for a beverage line leading to the dispensing system.
- the propellant gas passes through a formed on the housing of the tap nozzle and a top sealed, limited by the housing and the plunger annulus to the keg head.
- a hand lever is provided, which has a fork-shaped portion, with which it is pivotally mounted on the housing of the tap head (cf .. EP 0 294 095 AI and EP 0 521 461 A2).

- Embodiment of the invention formed rounded.
- the transition thus resembles a pipe bend.
- the rounding simplifies the mechanical cleaning of the tap head, in particular the plunger, for example by means of sponge balls, which are passed or transported for cleaning purposes by the beverage line and the tap head.
- Valve body is assigned to a plunger formed on the control surface, wherein the valve body comes in contact with the control surface in a direction of the valve head of the beverage keg movement of the plunger and from a
- Closed position is moved to an open position.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the dispensing head according to the invention provides that the control surface is designed such that the valve body is only moved from the closed position to the open position when the transverse passage of the plunger in partial overlap with the
