Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a beverage dispensing system for dispensing a carbonated beverage and a method of dispensing a carbonated beverage.
  • the present applicant is the producer of beverage dispensing systems in which a collapsible beverage container is positioned in a pressure chamber.
  • the collapsible beverage container comprises e.g. a bottle, pack or bag of a flexible material, typically polymeric, which is filled with a carbonated beverage, typically beer, and sealed off by means of a cap.
  • the beverage container has an integrated tapping line attached to the cap.
  • the beverage container is placed in a pressure chamber of the beverage dispensing system and the tapping line is led outside the pressure chamber.
  • a pressure is applied to the exterior of the flexible container and the beverage container crumples and collapses when exposed to an elevated pressure as the beverage is forced out of the beverage container via the dispensing line.
  • the dispensing of the beverage is controlled via a tapping cock that is mounted on a hollow tapping rod.
  • the dispensing line extends through the tapping rod into the tapping cock.
  • the tapping rod extends vertically from the bar counter to an elevated position corresponding to the shoulder or chest height of an average person, and further towards the operator in order for the tapping cock to be positioned above a drip tray.
  • Typical tapping rods comprise a vertical cylindrical part extending from the bar counter and other expressions that are considered synonymous with tapping rod are tapping column, rod, stanchion, tower or similar expressions which originate from the shape of the tapping rod.
  • the tapping cock in turn includes a tapping handle, a tapping valve and a spout.
  • the tapping valve and the spout is typically integrated with the tapping line.
  • the tapping valve may be formed by a valve element, which is acted on by the tapping cock for opening and closing the valve and thereby respectively allow and prevent beverage flow through the tapping valve.
  • the tapping valve and spout form an integral part of the tapping line and is thrown away after use together with the tapping line and the collapsed beverage container.
  • the tapping cock only arrests the tapping valve and includes means, such as a handle, for opening and closing the tapping valve.
  • a hygienic beverage dispensing system is achieved in that the tapping valve is replaced together with the beverage container.
  • the handle is swung towards the user, which causes a linking mechanism in the tapping cock to act on the valve placed in the tapping cock.
  • any contact between the beverage and the tapping rod/cock is eliminated.
  • the tapping handle is the most commonly used actuator for tapping cocks, however, other means may be used, including electrical means such as electrical actuators.
  • the dispensing line is led through the tapping rod into the tapping cock, and the tapping line as well as the tapping valve are properly retained inside the tapping cock.
  • the tapping rod, as well as the pressure chamber, may be provided with active cooling in order to allow the beverage to remain fresh for weeks or even months.
  • WO 2015/001011 discloses a dispensing system for dispensing a beverage, comprising a dispensing font device, a housing comprising a beverage container, and a dispensing line extending from the beverage container via a guide channel to a tapping handle, facilitating dispensing of cold beverage from the beverage container.
  • the dispensing of beverage is carried out by providing the predetermined pressure to the pressure chamber and as the dispensing line is being opened at the dispensing tap, the pressure will apply a pressure to the exterior of the beverage container, which will start to collapse, whereby the beverage will be forced out of the beverage container into the dispensing line and out at the dispensing tap without the beverage per se being supplied with or in contact with any gas during the dispensing.
  • WO 01/92142 WO 01/92144 and WO 01/92145 which relate to a tapping device for beverage comprising a cooling device and a tapping rod with a tapping cock.
  • the tapping rod comprises channels, which are in fluid communication with each other adjacent the tapping cock.
  • the tapping line extends through one of the channels and is coupled at one end with a container for beverage and at the other end can cooperate with the tapping cock.
  • the tapping rod and the channels should be pipe shaped, slender and exhibiting as few bends as possible, and the bends must necessarily be soft or blunt. Sharp bends may not be used or should at least be avoided since they will cause the tapping line to get stuck. Still, even using soft or blunt bends, the use of tapping rods having more than one bend have the drawbacks of risking that the tapping line gets stuck in the tapping rod.
  • WO 2008/125113 discloses a beverage dispensing system having a tapping rod that is formed by two housing parts, which are pilotable in relation to each other.
  • the housing parts allow, when in the open position, access to a recess for positioning a dispensing line into the housing and in the recess and allow the recess to receive and retain the dispensing line.
  • the recess is concealed when the first housing part and second housing part are in the closed position.
  • tapping rod to open completely also has some drawbacks.
  • the structural stability of the tapping rod will be decreased due to it being openable and consequently it will be more difficult to place plates including product branding, advertisements, commercial messages etc. on the rod itself.
  • the space available for such plates will be limited and they will apply a structural load to the rod, which it may not be able to hold.
  • the objects according to the present invention are thus twofold, firstly how to provide mounting points for advertisement plates, and secondly how to allow the installation of a tapping line in a tapping rod having multiple bends.
  • a beverage dispensing system for dispensing a carbonated beverage
  • the beverage dispensing system comprising a pressure chamber for accommodating a collapsible beverage container, and, a bar counter defining a customer side, an oppositely located operator side extending substantially parallel with the customer side, and a substantially horizontal surface extending between the customer side and the operator side
  • the beverage dispensing system further comprising a tapping rod, the tapping rod comprising a tapping line, said tapping rod further comprising:
  • the pressure chamber should be substantially pressure-tight and connected to a compressor or the like for being able to elevate the pressure inside the pressure chamber.
  • the collapsible beverage container preferably made of a polymeric material, is positioned inside the pressure chamber, preferably with a tight fit.
  • the pressure chamber is closed off by a pressure-tight lid and the dispensing line is allowed to extend outside the pressure chamber.
  • the pressure chamber is normally located below the bar counter and may be chilled by e.g. being in a refrigerator or having the tapping line passing a pass-through cooler. Alternatively, the pressure chamber may be located e.g. in a cellar below the establishment/bar counter.
  • the bar counter thus forms a horizontal surface for accommodating beverage glasses etc.
  • the bar counter typically extends along a section of the bar or restaurant or similar establishments and may in many cases separate the publicly accessible part of the establishment at the customer side and the employee only area at the operator side.
  • the bar counter may also be formed by a mobile device having wheels, a refrigerator for accommodating the pressure chamber, a compressor and a horizontal surface above the refrigerator.
  • the customer side and the operator side bar counter are typically linear and parallel such that the bar counter resembles a cube or cuboid; however, curved bar counters and even circular bar counters are equally feasible.
  • the horizontal surface is preferably mostly horizontal for accommodating beer glasses but may include protrusions and indentation in the form of drip trays etc.
  • the tapping rod is hollow and extends from the horizontal surface.
  • the first end is open and typically accessible from below the horizontal surface from the operator side.
  • the operator inserts the dispensing line (tapping line) from the nearby pressure chamber into the opening of the first guide tube at the first end of the first slender part of the tapping rod, which extends vertically to the second end.
  • the junction between the second end and the third end of the second slender part of the tapping rod forms a transition of the tapping rod from pure vertical to also extend in the horizontal direction, parallel with the customer side, to the fourth end.
  • the tapping line is guided from the first guide tube to the second guide tube, which in practice may constitute a single bent guide tube.
  • the first slender part and the second slender part thereby form fastening points for place plates inducing product branding, advertisements, commercial messages etc. that may extend in the space defined between the first and second slender parts and the horizontal surface.
  • Such plates will thus be fastened to the very rigid first and second slender parts and as the plates extend parallel with the customer side, they will allow for a large surface to be visible to the customer.
  • the fourth end of the second slender part also defines the end of the guide tube and the tapping line is consequently not guided into the third slender part but will in practice be stopped at the junction between the second slender part extending parallel to the customer and operator sides, and the third slender part running perpendicular to the second slender part and towards the operator side of the bar counter. It is not suitable to continue the guide tube through a second bend into the third slender part due to the risk of the tapping line getting stuck and due to the necessity in such case to make the transition from the second slender part to the third slender part very soft.
  • the tapping line By opening the openable cover, the tapping line may be retrieved at the end of the guide tube at the transition between the second slender part and the third slender part.
  • the tapping line is then accommodated in catching element, e.g. scores, ridges, clamps or the like on the fixed part of the third slender part of the openable cover of the third slender parts, or both.
  • the tapping valve of the tapping line is fastened inside the tapping cock such that the valve element may be opened and closed by the tapping cock. Then the openable cover is closed and the beverage dispensing system is ready for operation.
  • the above beverage dispensing system is thus using a guide tube the first part of the distance between the first end of the tapping rod and the tapping cock, whereas the remaining part of the tapping rod is openable.
  • This allows a very stable base of the tapping rod and at the same time allowing a very high flexibility when it comes to the appearance of the tapping rod.
  • the presently claimed invention has the advantage of allowing tapping rods to have multiple bends and sharp bends which would be unfeasible using any of the prior art technologies.
  • a further advantage is that complex multi faucet towers will be feasible.
  • a further advantage is that the installation and de installation of the tapping line in the tapping rod and in the tapping cock will be very ergonomic.
  • the openable cover is spring-loaded towards the closed state. In this way, the cover will automatically close ensuring that the dispensing line is protected and avoiding that dirt may enter the tapping rod.
  • the distance between the first end and the second end is 200-600mm, preferably 300-500mm, and/or, the distance between the third end and the fourth end is 50-300mm, preferably 100-200mm, and/or, the distance between the fifth end and the sixth end is 50-400mm, preferably 100-300mm.
  • the above distances are appropriate in order to achieve a sufficiently high tapping rod (first end to second end), having a sufficiently large area for the advertisement plate (third end to fourth end) and allowing the placement of a drip tray etc. below the spout (fifth end to sixth end).
  • the second slender part forms a smooth transition from vertical to horizontal, and/or, wherein the fourth end of the second slender part is connected to the fifth end of the third slender part in a substantially right angle. This will provide a very rigid tapping line having a large area available for the advertisement plate.
  • the tapping rod further comprises a plate connected to the first slender part and the second slender part and optionally to the substantially horizontal surface, the plate preferably including an advertisement, e.g. a commercial message for promoting beverage sale, and optionally including light and/or sound effects.
  • an advertisement e.g. a commercial message for promoting beverage sale
  • light and/or sound effects optionally including light and/or sound effects.
  • the plate has been described as an option above. By including a waterproof electrical installation in the tapping rod, light and sound effects may be provided.
  • the plate is removable/exchangeable.
  • the brand name of the beverage may be changed when the corresponding beverage container is changed.
  • Rails may be used in order to allow removability while maintaining a stable fastening of the plate to the rod.
  • Other means, such as clamps, screws, etc., are also feasible.
  • the fixed part of the third slender part comprises:
  • the first slender part further includes a first coolant tube for accommodating a cooling fluid between the first end and the second end, and a second cooling tube interconnected with the first cooling tube for accommodating a cooling fluid between the third end and the fourth end. Cooling of the tapping rod and tapping line avoids that the beverage inside the tapping rod will be foul.
  • the cooling may be provided by allowing a stream of chilled air circulate in the guide tube and the coolant tube.
  • the air may be provided from a refrigerator or cellar, preferably being the same in which the pressure chamber is stored, if applicable.
  • the horizontally openable cover is hingedly connected at a hinging point at or near the fifth end and provided with a locking member at the sixth end.
  • the openable cover thus swings open in a direction away from the operator allowing the operator an unrestricted access to the tapping.
  • the hinging point is located opposite the second slender part. In this way, the openable cover swings open in a direction away from the tapping cock allowing easy access to the tapping cock.
  • the tapping cock comprises a tapping handle extending vertically from a position directly above the tapping cock and being connected to the tapping cock opposite the horizontally openable cover.
  • the tapping handle and the connection to the tapping cock cannot block the opening of the openable cover, as the connection of the handle to the tapping cock is located opposite the operable cover.
  • the tapping handle extends directly above the tapping cock in order to establish an intuitive device in which the handle is located at the expected and most convenient position.
  • the tapping rod is made of a metal, such as aluminum, copper or steel. This way it will be very durable, stable and qualitative.
  • the system further comprises the beverage container including a carbonated beverage and further includes the tapping line extending between the beverage container and the tapping cock via the tapping rod.
  • the tapping rod further comprises:
  • the above system is a particularly advantageous tapping tower having two taps for being able to dispense two types of beverage. It is constituted by a single first slender part, which is connected to a number of second slender parts and corresponding number of third slender parts and tapping cocks. The number is considered to be at least two but of course, even higher numbers are feasible such as three, four or five or more.
  • a method of dispensing a carbonated beverage comprising providing beverage dispensing system for dispensing a carbonated beverage, the beverage dispensing system comprising a pressure chamber, and, a bar counter defining a customer side, an oppositely located operator side extending substantially parallel with the customer side, and a substantially horizontal surface extending between the customer side and the operator side, the beverage dispensing system further comprising a tapping rod, the tapping rod comprising:
  • the tapping line is guided the distance inside the tapping rod between the pressure chamber and the junction between the second slender part and the third slender part, whereas the remaining distance within the third slender part 10c to the tapping cock, i.e. the remaining part of the distance, the tapping line is clamped. This allows a secure guiding and fastening of the tapping line.

  • the hinge 20 is preferably spring loaded.
  • a tapping line 24 including a tapping valve 26 is fed from below the tapping rod 10 into the first slender part 10a as shown by the arrow.
  • FIG. 1B shows the tapping rod 10 when the openable cover 18 has been opened by releasing the click mechanism 22.
  • the openable cover swings outwardly in a horizontal direction about the hinge 20 and effectively splits the third slender part 10c into two parts: the openable cover 18 and a fixed part 28.
