Description

Universal design portable beverage dispenser

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE

The present invention relates to an apparatus for the field of cooking and products related to serving drinks.

YOU ARE IN THE TECHNIQUE

There are different types of dispensers and jugs on the market. However, none combines the portability of a jug with the ease of use of a dispenser. The state of the art can be categorized into the following types of products:

•

Stationary dispensers, of the type that can be found in offices and dining rooms. These dispensers are easy for anyone to use, but it is the person himself who has to travel to access the drink, and not vice versa.

•

Jugs The jugs on the market for drinks have the advantage that they are portable and can be stored in the refrigerator to cool the drink. However, these jugs can be difficult to use for people with motor difficulties, such as elderly people, with some motor-type illness, or young children.

•

Portable dispensers These dispensers, while more compact than those listed in the first category, remain difficult to move and cannot be stored in the refrigerator.

Regarding the state of the art, the present invention provides a series of features that are not combined in any other product on the market:

•

It is easy for anyone to use, even for someone who lacks strength or dexterity in their hands.

•

It is at the same time easy to transport thanks to its compact and ergonomic design.

•

It can be stored in the vast majority of fridges.

•

It can be used without removing it from the refrigerator.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a portable beverage dispenser that can be easily transported and stored in the refrigerator. It consists of a liquid container, a base and a dispensing system operated by a push button. This product has the main advantage of reducing the skill required to pour a drink.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The solution adopted in the present invention comprises the following parts:

•

A container (E) that houses the drink. This container contains an upper opening (1) through which the contents are poured inside, a lower opening (3) that fixes the position of the dispensing mechanism and through which the content comes out, a mooring (2) that It facilitates the transport of the product and a lower support (4) that prevents the base from separating from the rest of the dispenser.

•

A base (A) whose function is to raise the liquid outlet to a level greater than 100mm, which supposes a height greater than most of the vessels.

•

A cover (F) whose function is to close the upper opening (1) and prevent accidental liquid leakage.

•

A dispensing mechanism (B, C and D) whose function is to control the output or

liquid retention, and which is in turn composed of the following parts: Tap (B): this component communicates the liquid from the container to the vessel. Inside is the cavity where the liquid passes, as well as the space in which the button and the spring are housed.

Push button (C): this component regulates the exit or retention of liquid at the user's discretion. In the rest position, it blocks the liquid outlet, by blocking the passageway contained in the tap. When pressed, the hole it contains aligns with the tap duct and allows the liquid to flow outside.

or

Spring (D): This spring is responsible for returning the button to its liquid block position when it is not pressed by the user. It is housed inside the tap, and exerts a force such that it pushes the button in the vertical direction upwards.

PRODUCT OPERATION MODE To fill the contents container, simply remove the lid (F) by pulling it slightly.

To serve the contents in a glass, the glass is placed under the tap opening and the button is pressed lightly for a few seconds. After this, the button is stopped pressing. This operation can be done both on a surface and with the dispenser stored in the door of a refrigerator.

EXAMPLE OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The material and form characteristics of an example of the present invention are set forth below.

10 The container (E) would be made of glass, by blow molding. The cover (F), and the base (A) would be made of a thermoplastic material, by pressure molding. The tap (B) and the button (e) would also be made of thermoplastic material, by injection molding. The dock (O) would be entrusted to a

15 specialized company.

The total height of the set would be 265rnm, the width of 188mm and the depth of 90rnm. The container capacity would be 1.5L.

Claims (1)

1.-Universal design portable beverage dispenser that has a system for extracting the beverage by mechanical means characterized in that it comprises the following parts:

•

A container (E) that houses the drink. This container contains an upper opening (1) through which the contents are poured inside and a lower opening (3) through which the contents come out. The shape of the container facilitates its grip and transport of the product. The container includes a lower support that prevents the base from separating from the rest of the dispenser.

•

A base (A) whose function is to raise the liquid outlet to a height greater than 100mm.

•

A cover (F) whose function is to close the upper opening (1) and prevent accidental liquid leakage.

•

A dispensing mechanism (8, C, O) whose function is to control the output and

liquid retention, and which is in turn composed of the following parts: Tap (8): this component communicates the liquid from the container to the vessel. Inside is the cavity where the liquid passes, as well as the space in which the button and the spring are housed. Push button (C): this component regulates the exit or retention of liquid at the user's discretion. In the rest position, it blocks the liquid outlet, by blocking the passageway contained in the tap. When pressed, the hole it contains aligns with the tap duct and allows the liquid to flow outside. Spring (O): This spring is responsible for returning the button to its liquid block position when it is not pressed by the user. It is housed inside the tap, and exerts a force such that it pushes the button in the vertical direction upwards. FIGURE 1 F _ _ ~ E __________ _ O \ FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3 FIGURE 4 FIGURE 5
