Abstract

Device allowing the stopping of the gas used for propelling the liquid when a beer or lemonade barrel is completely empty. It is constituted by a plug 1 screwed on the body of the cylinder 2 for the insertion of the float 3; a seal 4 provides fluid-tightness; a bleeder 5 allows air or gas to be eliminated for the correct functioning of the float 3 when the circuit is brought into service. Two pipes leave from the body and from the bottom of the cylinder 2, one 12 for supplying the beer, the other 6 for the outlet of the beer going to the bar tap. A bowl 8 machined at 90 DEG serves for receiving the stopper needle valve 9 which is at the base of the float 3. When the cylinder contains no more liquid coming from the barrel, the float 3 descends in order to stop the output of the pipe 10 under the pressure of the gas which is still present in the barrel. A part 11 cut from bar is used for removing the float 3; the plate 13 is used for mounting the device. Device according to the invention particularly intended to cut off the gas coming from a pressurized beer or lemonade barrel when the latter is empty of liquid.

Description

- D E S C R I P T I O N
La présente invention concerne un dispositif obturateur à pointeau d'arrêt de gaz, du circuit d'alimentation d'une installation de bière ou de limonade pression. Ce dispositif supprime l'inconvénient désagréable des éclaboussures de bière et de limonade lorsque le fût ne contient plus de liquide.- DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a shutter device with a gas shut-off needle, of the supply circuit of a beer or lemonade installation. This device eliminates the unpleasant inconvenience of splashing beer and lemonade when the keg no longer contains liquid.

I1 controle la pression et la contient en fin de fût, il économise le gaz et controle le débit de la mousse permettant une économie de bière ou limonade.Placé entre la sortie du fût de bière ou de limonade et le conduit d'alimentation arrivant au robinet de distribution sur le comptoir du bar. I1 controls the pressure and contains it at the end of the keg, it saves gas and controls the flow of the foam allowing a saving of beer or lemonade. Placed between the outlet of the beer keg or lemonade and the supply duct arriving at the dispensing tap on the bar counter.

Généralement, cet appareil n'éxistant pas, la conduite d'amenée de bière ou limonade provenant du fût mis en pression par un gaz monte le liquide jusqu'au robinet de distribution du comptoir. Lorsqu'il ne reste plus de bière dans le fût, le gaz servant à propulser le liquide dans la canalisation, se trouve libéré et vient avec pression souffler le liquide restant qui précède. Generally, this device does not exist, the beer or lemonade supply pipe coming from the barrel pressurized by a gas rises the liquid up to the counter distribution tap. When there is no more beer in the keg, the gas used to propel the liquid in the pipe, is released and comes with pressure to blow the remaining liquid above.

Ce dispositif selon la présente invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Cet appareil se compose d'un corps cylindrique creux (il peut être en métal ou en matière plastique alimentaire) dans lequel peut manoeuvrer verti- calement et librement un flotteur. Ce cylindre est bouché à ses deux extrémitées. On comprendra mieux l'invention en se reportant aux figures I et 2. This device according to the present invention overcomes this drawback. This device consists of a hollow cylindrical body (it can be made of metal or food-grade plastic) in which a float can move vertically and freely. This cylinder is blocked at its two ends. The invention will be better understood by referring to Figures I and 2.

La figure I représente l'appareil dans son ensemble selon une pe longitudinale avec le flotteur en position fermeture de l'orifice. Figure I shows the device as a whole in a longitudinal pe with the float in the closed position of the orifice.

La figure 2 représente une vue de dessus de l'appareil avec sa platine de fixation. Figure 2 shows a top view of the device with its mounting plate.

La partie supérieure du cylindre est fermée hermétiquement par un bouchon tI) vissé sur le corps du cylindre (2) de façon à introduire le flotteur (3) un joint est placé entre le fond du bouchon et la partie haute du filetage (4) la partie basse restant solidaire du corps de ce cylindre. Sur ce même bouchon vissé est fixé un robinet purgeur (5) permettant d'éliminer de ce cylindre l'air ou le gaz qu'il pourrait contenir et nuire au bon fonctionnement du flotteur au momment de la mise en service du circuit liquide de la bière ou de la limonade. The upper part of the cylinder is hermetically closed by a plug tI) screwed onto the body of the cylinder (2) so as to introduce the float (3) a seal is placed between the bottom of the plug and the upper part of the thread (4) lower part remaining integral with the body of this cylinder. On this same screwed cap is fixed a drain valve (5) allowing to eliminate from this cylinder the air or the gas which it could contain and to harm the good functioning of the float at the moment of the putting into service of the liquid circuit of the beer or lemonade.

A la base de ce cylindre bouché, un conduit sort du fond de quelques centimètres pour permettre la fixation d'un tuyau souple ou rigide pour la sortie du liquide t6) . Sur la partie haute intérieure de ce conduit qui sort du fond de l'appareil(7) est usiné une cuvette à l'angle de 900 (8) de façon à recevoir le pointeau obturateur qui se trouve à la base du flotteur (9) manoeuvrant verticalement dans le cylindre. Lorsque le flotteur se trouve à la position basse par manque de liquide dans le cylindre, il vient avec l'aide du pointeau obturer l'orifice de sortie du conduit (IO) empèchant le gaz de passer quand le fût de bière est entièrement vide. Le flotteur est composé d'un cylindre creux, clos hermétiquement à ses deux extrémitées, avec à sa base un pointeau usiné au même angle que la cuvette réceptricé servant à obturer l'orifice de sortie du liquide. Sur la partie haute du flotteur une pièce décolletée(II)de quelques centimètres de long sert à sortir facilement avec les doigts le flotteur pour le nettoyage intérieur du cylindre. Un autre conduit de mème diamètre que le premier cité sort du cylindre(I2) à quelques centimètres du fond de l'appareil, formant un angle de 90 avec le conduit sortant à la base du cylindre. Ce conduit sert à l'alimentation de la bière ou de la limonade venant du fût. At the base of this blocked cylinder, a conduit leaves the bottom a few centimeters to allow the attachment of a flexible or rigid pipe for the outlet of the liquid t6). On the upper inner part of this conduit which leaves the bottom of the apparatus (7) is machined a bowl at the angle of 900 (8) so as to receive the shutter needle which is at the base of the float (9) maneuvering vertically in the cylinder. When the float is in the low position due to lack of liquid in the cylinder, it comes with the help of the needle to close the outlet opening of the conduit (IO) preventing the gas from passing when the beer keg is completely empty. The float is composed of a hollow cylinder, hermetically closed at its two ends, with at its base a needle machined at the same angle as the receptacle used to close the liquid outlet orifice. On the upper part of the float a low-cut piece (II) a few centimeters long is used to easily remove the float with your fingers for cleaning the interior of the cylinder. Another conduit of the same diameter as the first city leaves the cylinder (I2) a few centimeters from the bottom of the apparatus, forming an angle of 90 with the conduit exiting at the base of the cylinder. This conduit is used to feed beer or lemonade from the keg.

Une platine basculante et réglable (I3) avec blocage par boulon fixé au milieu du corps à l'extérieur du cylindre permet avec deux vis (I4) la fixation de l'appareil sur un mur ou une cloison ets........  A tilting and adjustable plate (I3) with bolt blocking fixed in the middle of the body outside the cylinder allows with two screws (I4) the fixing of the device on a wall or a partition ... .
