Definitions

  • the present description relates to a device for extracting a pressurized liquid, in particular a plastic device adapted for extracting a pressurized liquid from a plastic container; namely from a barrel.
  • EP1954624B1 discloses a beverage dispensing system, comprising a container for a beverage, this container being composed of a detachable and disposable single-piece.
  • EP1651558A1 discloses an assembly of a drink dispenser comprising a chamber for accommodating a container containing carbonated drink, a lid for closing off the chamber, a dispensing head by means of pressure and with a reservoir with a pressure medium.
  • EP2295372B1 discloses a pressure adapter for installing on a beer container comprising an extendable faucet with a CO 2 channel.
  • EP2129596B1 discloses a system for dispensing carbonated beverages comprising a bottle and an adapted lid. It is through the inside of the lid that a CO 2 cartridge is connected, thus being housed inside the bottle together with the beverage to be dispensed.
  • This solution has some disadvantages, for example, in order to change the beverage it is necessary to open a bottle and place the adapted lid, leaving the beverage exposed to external contaminants until the adapted lid is screwed on again, or, as the cartridge is in contact with the pressurized liquid, there may be contamination thereby into the beverage when it is replaced. Additionally, the replacement thereof is quite difficult due to the fact that it is on the inside of the lid.
  • This device must be securely coupled to a container with a liquid, preferably a beer barrel; and still allow the extraction of the liquid in perfect conditions.
  • the present embodiments are useful for extracting a pressurized liquid in an easy, practical way and with a quick and simple maintenance, surprisingly allowing the reuse of the device in different beverages and containers.
  • the introduction of the device into the container allows the extraction of the liquid and injection of an extraction gas into the container.
  • the device described in the present disclosure further comprises a pressure regulator for regulating the supply pressure of an extraction gas. In this way, it is possible to control, for example, the foam.
  • the handle comprises a curved latch for connecting with the edge of the container lid, wherein the handle and the curved latch are connected by a pin and spaced apart by a spring.
  • the plastic material of the extractor device is selected from the following list: polyamide, fibered polyamide, polypropylene, polymeric resin, polyoxymethylene, or combinations thereof.
  • the plastic material of the device has a density of 1-2 g/cm 3 .
  • the material of the faucet lever, pin and plunger has a density of 1-1.5 g/cm 3 ; preferably about 1.41 g/cm 3 .
  • the material of the handle, latch, base and dispenser has a density of 1-1.5 g/cm 3 ; preferably about 1.37 g/cm 3 .
  • the material of the faucet has a density of 1-1.5 g/cm 3 ; preferably about 1.23 g/cm 3 .
  • the plastic material of the extractor device has a tensile modulus between 2500-10000 MPa.
  • the dispenser is a type A coupler.
  • the handle comprises a curved latch for connecting with the edge of the container lid, wherein the handle and the curved latch are connected by a pin and spaced apart by a spring.
  • the liquid may be a non-alcoholic beverage such as sparkling water, juice, soda, among others.
  • the extraction gas preferably wherein the gas is CO 2 , N 2 , He, Argon, or combinations thereof.
  • the lidded container is a barrel, bottle, keg, or carboy, among others.
  • the liquid may be an alcoholic beverage, such as beer, sangria, wine or cider, among others.
  • Another aspect concerns a method for coupling the extraction device described in the present disclosure comprising the steps of:
  • the dispenser is configured to be adapted to a lid of a plastic container, preferably barrels with a capacity of 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 L of pressurized liquid, more preferably 7L plastic barrels.
  • the functional principle of the faucet is the displacement of a plunger that with the aid of O-rings seals the liquid exit from the piping.
  • the strength applied by a user on the rotation of the lever and the corresponding rise of the plunger allows the liquid to pass, in the open position, and the mechanical strength of the spring inside applies a counter strength, returning the plunger to its initial closed/sealed position.
  • the handle comprises 3 associated elements: the axis of rotation along which it moves; the associated axis that drives and moves the dispenser in the vertical direction; the associated axis that moves the curved latch coupling or uncoupling the device.
  • outlet of the dispenser when the outlet of the dispenser is arranged horizontally, it allows the system to be both simpler making it possible for domestic use, and more compact, easier to store and handle.
  • One of the advantages of the present disclosure is the fact that a reusable dispenser is obtained which maintains the functionality of metal dispensers, with high strength and lower weight.
  • the present description relates to a device for extracting a liquid, in particular a device in plastic adapted to extract a pressurized liquid from a container with a plastic lid.
