Abstract

The device has a horizontal shaft (6) secured to a case (1) by two brackets (5) fixed on both sides of a slot (3). The horizontal shaft carries two arms (7) that are rotatably joined with the horizontal shaft. The horizontal shaft triggers an opening of a valve (4) of a bag-in-box (BIB) (2) by pushing fins (8). The horizontal shaft is rotated by a control lever (9). A particular position of the control lever allows deletion of the arms to freely slide the valve of the BIB along the slot when inserting or removing the case.

Description

-1- Dispositif permettant une utilisation rationnelle des robinets équipant les emballages cartonnés contenant des liquides. La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant une utilisation commode, rationnelle et sans effort des robinets des emballages cartonnés de liquide et notamment de boissons. Ces cartons, contiennent une enveloppe souple protégeant un liquide et 6 munis d'un robinet seront, ci-après, dénommés BIB en référence au terme anglo-saxon "Bag In Box" qui sert généralement à les désigner quelles que soient leurs formes ou leurs contenances. Les robinets dont sont équipés les BIB sont constitués d'un corps sensiblement 10 cylindrique d'où saillent symétriquement deux ailettes mobilisables. Lorsque les ailettes sont entraînées vers le haut du robinet, un clapet s'ouvre et le liquide contenu dans le BIB s'écoule aussi longtemps qu'on maintiendra les ailettes relevées. Ces robinets présentent à l'utilisation un important problème d'ergonomie et de praticité en ce qu'ils nécessitent l'usage simultané de trois doigts de la même main, deux étant en opposition 15 avec le troisième, le poignet et l'avant bras de l'utilisateur se trouvent ainsi sollicités de façon supinatoire, incommode et parfois douloureuse. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients en ce qu'il permet l'utilisation du BIB avec un seul doigt sans effort. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un boîtage réalisé en toute 20 matière, comme par exemple, un matériau isolant et venant recouvrir les faces visibles du BIB. La face du boîtage en rapport avec le robinet du BIB comporte une ouverture oblongue venant chevaucher le robinet du BIB lorsqu'on positionne le boîtage en le faisant coulisser de haut en bas. De part et d'autre de l'ouverture oblongue deux équerres percées d'un trou permettant le maintient et la rotation d'un arbre horizontal parallèle aux 25 ailettes du robinet du BIB et portant deux bras perpendiculaires à son axe de rotation et venant s'engager sous lesdites ailettes. Ledit arbre horizontal est entraîné en rotation par le moyen d'un levier de commande solidaire, formé par exemple, par le cintrage dudit arbre horizontal. Le levier de commande permet de démultiplier l'effort exercé par l'utilisateur. Lorsque l'arbre horizontal est entraîné en rotation par une action de 30 l'utilisateur sur le levier de commande. L'arbre horizontal mobilise les deux bras dont il est solidaire, lesdits bras venant exercer une pression sur les ailettes ce qui déclenche l'écoulement du liquide contenu dans le BIB aussi longtemps que le levier de commande sera maintenu dans sa position par l'utilisateur. 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 2975672 -2- Lors de la mise en place du boîtage ou de son retirement, les deux bras s'opposent au libre coulissement du robinet du BIB le long de l'ouverture oblongue ; une position particulière du levier de commande permet l'effacement desdits bras et par suite le libre coulissement du robinet du BIB. Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation le levier de commande est positionné de telle façon que c'est en poussant sur ledit levier avec le récipient qu'on se propose de remplir qu'on déclenche l'écoulement du liquide dans ledit récipient. Selon ce mode de réalisation une seule main est mobilisée pour, à la fois, porter le récipient et le remplir. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'ouverture oblongue est remplacée par un orifice en rapport avec les dimensions du robinet du BIB. On introduit le BIB dans le boîtage par un portillon situé sur la face opposée au dit orifice. Le robinet du BIB venant saillir par ledit orifice directement à l'intérieur du procédé selon l'invention, les ailettes se positionnant par construction juste au dessus des bras. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, c'est le portillon qui comporte l'orifice par lequel le robinet doit saillir au moment de la fermeture dudit portillon. Ledit portillon portant en regard dudit orifice le procédé selon l'invention. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'arbre horizontal ne comporte qu'un seul bras ne soulevant donc qu'une seule ailette. Les deux ailettes étant solidaires, le soulèvement de l'une entraîne automatiquement le soulèvement de l'autre. Cette configuration permet l'effacement du bras pour permettre la mise en place ou le retirement du boîtage par glissement de l'arbre horizontal le long de son axe de rotation. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. La figure I représente une coupe du procédé selon l'invention. La figure II représente la position particulière du levier de commande pour mettre en place ou retirer le boîtage. La figure III représente une position particulière du levier de commande pour que ce dernier soit actionné par le récipient lui-même. La figure IV représente une coupe d'un autre mode de réalisation. La figure V représente un mode différent de réalisation. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un boîtage (1) recouvrant tout ou partie du BIB (2) et comportant une ouverture oblongue (3) venant chevaucher le corps du robinet (4) du BIB (2) lorsqu'on fait glisser le boîtage (1) de haut en bas. 70 75 2975672 -3- De part et d'autre de l'ouverture oblongue (3) deux équerres (5) percées d'un trou laissant passer et tourner un arbre horizontal (6) sensiblement parallèle aux ailettes (8) et portant deux bras (7) perpendiculaires à son axe de rotation et venant s'engager sous les ailettes (8). L'arbre horizontal (6) est entraîné en rotation par le moyen du levier de commande (9) qui lui est solidaire. L'utilisateur en exerçant une traction sur le levier de commande (9) entraîne la rotation de l'arbre horizontal (6), les bras (7) viennent au contact des ailettes (8) qu'ils poussent libérant ainsi le liquide contenu dans le BIB (2). Pour mettre en place ou retirer le boîtage, il est nécessaire que les bras (7) s'effacent pour permettre le libre passage du robinet (4) le long du trou oblong (3). Pour ce faire le levier de commande (9) sera mis en position horizontale selon la figure II . dans cette position les bras (7) sont parallèles à la face du BIB (2) et le robinet (4) peut coulisser librement le long du trou oblong (3). -1- Device allowing a rational use of the valves equipping cardboard packaging containing liquids. The present invention relates to a device allowing a convenient, rational and effortless use of taps cardboard packaging liquid and especially drinks. These cartons, containing a flexible envelope protecting a liquid and 6 provided with a tap will be hereinafter referred to as BIB with reference to the Anglo-Saxon term "Bag In Box" which generally serves to designate them whatever their shapes or their capacities. The valves of which the BIBs are equipped consist of a substantially cylindrical body from which symmetrically project two movable fins. When the fins are driven up the valve, a valve opens and the liquid in the BIB flows as long as you keep the fins up. These faucets present in use a major problem of ergonomics and practicality in that they require the simultaneous use of three fingers of the same hand, two being in opposition with the third, the wrist and the forearm of the user are thus solicited supinatorically, inconvenient and sometimes painful. The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages in that it allows the use of the BIB with a single finger without effort. It comprises in fact according to a first feature a housing made of any material, such as for example, an insulating material and coming to cover the visible faces of the BIB. The face of the housing in connection with the valve of the BIB has an oblong opening from overlapping the valve of the BIB when positioning the housing by sliding it up and down. On either side of the oblong opening two brackets pierced with a hole allowing the maintenance and rotation of a horizontal shaft parallel to the fins of the valve of the BIB and carrying two arms perpendicular to its axis of rotation and coming from engage under said fins. Said horizontal shaft is rotated by means of an integral control lever, formed for example by the bending of said horizontal shaft. The control lever makes it possible to increase the effort exerted by the user. When the horizontal shaft is rotated by action of the user on the control lever. The horizontal shaft mobilizes the two arms which it is secured, said arms coming to exert a pressure on the fins which triggers the flow of the liquid contained in the BIB as long as the control lever is held in its position by the user . 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 2975672 -2- When placing the housing or its removal, the two arms oppose the free sliding of the valve of the BIB along the oblong opening; a particular position of the control lever allows the erasure of said arms and consequently the free sliding of the valve of the BIB. According to particular embodiments the control lever is positioned in such a way that it is by pushing on said lever with the container that it is proposed to fill that it triggers the flow of liquid in said container. According to this embodiment only one hand is mobilized to both carry the container and fill it. According to another embodiment, the oblong opening is replaced by an orifice related to the dimensions of the valve of the BIB. The BIB is introduced into the housing by a gate located on the face opposite to said orifice. The valve of the BIB protruding through said orifice directly inside the process according to the invention, the fins being positioned by construction just above the arms. According to another embodiment, it is the gate which comprises the orifice through which the valve must protrude at the time of closure of said gate. Said gate bearing opposite said orifice the method according to the invention. According to another embodiment, the horizontal shaft has only one arm thus raising only one fin. The two wings being secured, the lifting of one automatically causes the lifting of the other. This configuration allows the erasure of the arm to allow the establishment or removal of the housing by sliding of the horizontal shaft along its axis of rotation. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. Figure I shows a section of the method according to the invention. Figure II shows the particular position of the control lever to set up or remove the housing. Figure III shows a particular position of the control lever for the latter to be actuated by the container itself. Figure IV shows a section of another embodiment. Figure V shows a different embodiment. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a housing (1) covering all or part of the BIB (2) and having an oblong opening (3) overlapping the valve body (4) of the BIB (2) when sliding the housing (1) from top to bottom. On both sides of the oblong opening (3) two brackets (5) pierced with a hole permitting and turning a horizontal shaft (6) substantially parallel to the fins (8) and carrying two arm (7) perpendicular to its axis of rotation and engaging under the fins (8). The horizontal shaft (6) is rotated by means of the control lever (9) which is integral therewith. The user by pulling on the control lever (9) causes the rotation of the horizontal shaft (6), the arms (7) come into contact with the fins (8) that they push, thus releasing the liquid contained in the BIB (2). To set up or remove the housing, it is necessary that the arms (7) are erased to allow the free passage of the valve (4) along the oblong hole (3). To do this the control lever (9) will be placed in a horizontal position according to Figure II. in this position the arms (7) are parallel to the face of the BIB (2) and the valve (4) can slide freely along the oblong hole (3).
