Definitions

  • the invention relates to a keg cap for a keg, such as a beer keg.
  • the invention also relates to a keg provided with the aforesaid keg cap and a beer in a keg, wherein the keg in which the beer is located is provided with the aforementioned keg cap.
  • Sealing the keg head of kegs is essential to prevent dust and other unwanted particles from accumulating in and around the keg head of the keg. This is important, for example, when the keg is stored in an uncovered space and exposed to different weather conditions.
  • One way to achieve these points is to provide the keg with a keg cap.
  • keg caps are already on the market, as described for example in GB 2 319 019 and BE 1 008 450 .
  • these keg caps consist of a lid and an adjoining skirt, wherein the skirt surrounds the perimeter of the keg head collar of the keg.
  • the problem is that these keg caps often do not fit closely enough to the keg head of the keg, so that they can be placed back on the keg undetected after opening. As a result, the keg is insufficiently protected against fraud or attempted fraud. Also, dust and other unwanted particles can accumulate in and around the keg head of the keg.
  • the present invention aims to find a solution for at least some of the above problems.
  • the invention relates to a keg cap for a keg according to claim 1.
  • Preferred embodiments of this keg cap are set forth in claims 2-11.
  • the keg cap By providing the keg cap with retention spears that form an angle between 15 degrees and 40 degrees with the inner wall of the skirt, the keg cap can fit closely and securely to the keg head of the keg, and it is impossible to remove the keg cap without breaking or tearing it into multiple parts. This means that fraud does not go unnoticed. Moreover, since the keg cap fits closely to the keg head, the accumulation of dust and other unwanted particles in and around the keg head will be avoided.
  • the invention in a second aspect, relates to a keg provided with said keg cap.
  • the invention relates to a beer in a keg, wherein the keg is provided with said keg cap.
  • a segment means one or more segments.
  • Quoting numerical intervals by endpoints comprises all integers, fractions and/or real numbers between the endpoints, these endpoints included.
  • the invention in a first aspect, relates to a keg cap for a keg, such as a beer keg, the keg comprising a keg head for filling the keg, wherein the keg cap comprises a lid and a skirt adjoining thereto, the keg cap comprising a detachable portion for removing the keg cap from the keg head, said detachable portion being outlined by a first and a second pair of tear lines, wherein the first pair of tear lines extends over the full diameter of the lid of the keg cap and wherein the inner wall of said skirt is provided with a plurality of internally directed resilient retention spears along the circumference of the skirt, the latter being able to elastically press against the keg head collar in the coupled locked state.
  • the operation of the keg cap is based on the resilient effect of the retention spears.
  • These retention spears are connected to the skirt of the keg cap and are located along the circumference of the skirt. When placing the keg cap over the keg head collar, the retention spears bend toward the skirt and thus allow mounting of the keg cap. Once fitted over the keg head collar, the retention spears spring inward again.
  • Crucial to the tight fit of the keg cap to the keg head of the keg is the angle formed between the retention spear and the inner wall of the skirt.
  • this angle must be sufficiently large so that the retention spears can prevent the keg cap from being removed from the keg head in one piece after placement, but on the other hand must be as small as possible so that the keg cap fits closely to the keg head.
  • the keg cap according to the present invention is such that the angle of the retention spear with the inner wall of the skirt of the keg cap is between 15 degrees and 40 degrees, preferably between 20 degrees and 36 degrees. Retention spears forming an angle with the inner wall of such an order of magnitude allow the keg cap to fit closely and securely enough to the keg head of the keg. This makes it impossible to remove the keg cap without breaking or tearing it into multiple parts and furthermore prevents the build-up of dust and other unwanted particles at the keg head of the keg.
  • the first pair of tear lines of the detachable portion of the keg cap continues at one end of the lid of the keg cap in two openings that terminate in the second pair of tear lines and the first pair of tear lines terminate at the other end of the lid in a tear tab.
  • the tear tab is separated from the keg cap skirt by a tear tab opening.
  • the keg cap skirt is provided with a third pair of tear lines at the tear tab opening.
  • the detachable portion can be completely separated from the keg cap when the keg cap is opened.
  • the first pair of tear lines, the openings in the skirt and the second pair of tear lines will ensure that the detachable portion is completely removed from the keg cap in a controlled manner and the latter can be disconnected from the keg head of the keg.
  • the keg cap cannot be put back in one piece and opening the keg cap cannot go unnoticed. Opening the keg cap in a controlled manner (via the tear tab) thus provides the best indication that the keg has not been tampered with.
  • the detachable portion can be easily removed from the keg cap.
  • the portion of the detachable portion in the lid and the portion in the skirt therefore form one rigid whole.
  • the last part of the detachable portion, the part in the skirt can be easily removed by means of a lever effect.
  • the two openings in the skirt as a continuation of the first pair of tear lines allow the length of the second pair of tear lines to be reduced, which in turn facilitates removal of the detachable portion.
  • Improperly removing the keg cap from the keg head can also cause the third pair of tear lines to rupture.
  • the third pair of tear lines is torn, it may be indicative of fraud.
  • the tear tab and tear tab opening function to facilitate removal of the detachable portion.
  • the keg cap further comprises intermediate tabs, wherein these intermediate tabs arise from the inside of the skirt of the keg cap and wherein these intermediate tabs, in the coupled condition of the keg cap and the keg, surround the keg head collar of the keg.
  • the intermediate tabs are positioned at least on either side of each retention spear. The function of these intermediate tabs is to allow the keg cap to fit closely to the keg head collar of the keg.
  • These intermediate tabs can take any shape.
  • the thickness of these intermediate tabs is between 0.5 mm and 2.5 mm. This thickness is suitable for allowing the keg cap to closely match the diameter of the keg head collar.
  • the keg cap further comprises release apertures in the lid of the keg cap. These release apertures are necessary to form the retention spears on the inside of the keg cap skirt during the keg cap manufacturing process. Such a release aperture is therefore always located at the level of a retention spear.
  • the width of these release apertures is substantially equal to the width of the retention spears. Furthermore, these release apertures allow visually checking the positioning of the retention spears against the keg head collar when placing the keg cap on the keg head of the keg.
  • the tear lines can be on the inside (the side facing the keg head) or on the outside (the side facing the outside environment) of the keg cap.
  • the first pair of tear lines is on the outside of the lid. In another embodiment of the keg cap, the first pair of tear lines is on the inside of the lid. Providing the first pair of tear lines, which are located on the horizontal plane of the lid, on the inside of the lid, ensures that the outside of the lid forms a plane without any relief. As a result, this outside of the lid can easily be printed with text and/or one or more illustrations. Also, the placement of the first pair of tear lines on the inside of the lid prevents the accumulation of dust and other contaminating elements in the grooves of this first pair of tear lines.
  • the inside of the lid of the keg cap is provided with a circular elevation or rib. In a further embodiment, this circular elevation or rib abuts in the cavity of the collar of the keg head of the keg.
  • the inner diameter of the lid of the keg cap comprises the inscribed diameter formed by the most central rim of the release apertures.
  • this inner diameter of the lid is between 50 mm and 75 mm, preferably between 52 mm and 72 mm, even more preferably between 55 mm and 71 mm.
  • An inner diameter of such an order of magnitude is suitable for sufficiently closing the keg head collar when the keg cap is coupled to the keg. Namely, this inner diameter must be greater than the inner diameter of the keg head collar of the keg with which the keg cap will be coupled.
  • the release apertures will be at the height of the inner diameter of the keg head collar of the keg and the keg head of the keg will not be protected from external contamination. With a larger inner diameter of the lid, the release apertures will be too small to properly form the retention spears during the production process of the keg cap.
  • the inner wall of this skirt is provided with a plurality of internally directed resilient retention spears along the periphery of the skirt.
  • the locking diameter comprises the inscribed diameter formed by the most central point of each of the retention spears. In a preferred embodiment this locking diameter is between 50 mm and 80 mm, preferably between 52 mm and 75 mm, even more preferably between 55 mm and 71 mm.
  • a locking diameter of such an order of magnitude is suitable for sealing the collar of the keg head sufficiently tightly in the coupled state with the keg. If this locking diameter is larger, the retention spears will connect insufficiently, and it will be possible for the keg cap to be removed from the keg in one piece (i.e. without breaking or tearing the keg cap). Since the keg cap is undamaged in this situation, it can be put back unnoticed, and the keg is no longer protected against fraud. If this locking diameter is too small, the keg cap cannot be placed over the keg head.
  • the outer diameter of the keg cap at the top is between 50 mm and 100 mm, preferably between 65 mm and 85 mm, even more preferably between 70 mm and 80 mm.
  • the outer diameter of the keg cap on the opposite side, the bottom is between 50 mm and 100 mm, preferably between 65 mm and 85 mm, even more preferably between 71 mm and 81 mm.
  • An outer diameter of such an order of magnitude makes it possible to place sufficient intermediate tabs and retention spears of suitable width along the circumference of the inner wall.
  • the skirt comprises a peripherally projecting rim on the underside.
  • this peripherally projecting rim is complete and continuous. The above-mentioned rim serves as a reinforcing element for the skirt, giving it greater rigidity and preventing tearing during the fitting and fixing of the keg cap on the collar.
  • the height of the skirt and/or the rim of the skirt, as well as their thickness, are selected in accordance with the type of keg and keg head for which the keg cap is intended.
  • the height of the keg cap is between 10 mm and 20 mm, preferably between 12 mm and 18 mm, even more preferably between 16 mm and 17 mm, even more preferably between 16.3 mm and 16.6 mm.
  • a keg cap of such height makes it possible to provide retention spears having a suitable height to tightly enclose the keg head.
  • the height of the retention spears, measured from their point of departure from the underside of the skirt of the keg cap is preferably between 4 mm and 10 mm, even more preferably between 5 mm and 9 mm.
  • the keg cap may be made of any material known in the art.
  • the keg cap is made from a thermoplastic polymer.
  • the keg cap is made of polystyrene.
  • the keg cap is made from recycled polystyrene. Recycled polystyrene offers an ecological alternative to non-recycled polystyrene.
  • the keg cap is made from polypropylene, preferably by an injection molding process.
  • Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer that combines strength and elasticity. This has the advantage that the keg cap can be installed without breakage. Namely, the retention spears must first bend towards the skirt before springing back inwards, which requires a certain elasticity of the material. These properties also ensure that the keg cap is less likely to break into unwanted small parts when opened. This reduces the risk that parts of the keg cap end up in the keg head of the keg.
  • the keg cap is made from recycled polypropylene. Recycled polypropylene offers an ecological alternative to non-recycled polypropylene.
  • the invention in a second aspect, relates to a keg provided with said keg cap.
  • the keg comprises a keg head with a collar.
  • the keg head collar of the keg can take on any profile.
  • the design of the keg cap is such that the keg cap fits closely and firmly against the keg head of the keg. As a result, the keg cap cannot be removed unnoticed, thereby preventing fraudulent opening of the keg. In addition, the accumulation of dust and other unwanted particles in the keg head of the keg is avoided.
  • the keg can take any shape and size.
  • the inner diameter of the keg head collar is between 50mm and 75mm. In a preferred embodiment, the inner diameter of the keg head collar is smaller than the inner diameter of the keg cap lid.
  • the keg cap can be used to secure a keg with any contents.
  • the keg cap is used to secure a keg containing a liquid.
  • the keg cap can be used to secure a keg containing cider, wine, oil, etc.
  • the keg cap is used to secure a keg containing beer.
  • the invention relates to a beer in a keg, wherein the keg is provided with said keg cap.

  • the keg cap 1 consists of a lid 2 and an adjoining skirt 3.
  • the inner wall of this skirt is provided with a plurality of internally directed resilient retention spears 4 along the periphery of the skirt 3.
  • These retention spears can elastically press against the keg head collar (not shown) in the coupled locked state. Because of these retention spears 4, it is impossible to remove the keg cap 1 from the keg head without breaking or tearing the keg cap 1 into multiple parts.
  • the keg cap 1 is provided with a detachable portion 5.
  • This detachable portion 5 is outlined by a first pair of tear lines (not visible) located on the inside of the lid of the keg cap and a second pair of tear lines (not visible) at the level of the keg cap skirt.

  • the inner diameter 11 of the lid 2 of the keg cap 1 comprises the inscribed diameter formed by the most central rim of the release apertures 10 and is 55.2 mm in the embodiment of the present figure.
  • An inner diameter 11 of such an order of magnitude is suitable for sufficiently sealing the collar of the keg head in the coupled state with the keg. Namely, this inner diameter 11 must be greater than the inner diameter of the keg head collar of the keg with which the keg cap 1 will be coupled.
  • the outside of the skirt 3 has a peripherally projecting continuous rim 20 on the underside.
  • the above-mentioned rim 20 serves as a reinforcing element for the skirt 3, giving it greater rigidity and preventing tearing during the fitting and fixing of the keg cap 1 on the collar of the keg head.
  • FIGURE 2 is a diagrammatic representation of FIGURE 1
