Description

The present disclosure relates to a beverage dispensing device, a clank, and an operating lever.

JP2021-70525A describes a beverage server having a pouring head. The beverage server includes a pouring head, a gas cylinder, and a box-shaped main body that accommodates the gas cylinder and functions as a casing that holds the pouring head. The dispensing head is connected to the beverage container inside the body.

The pouring head pours out the beverage in the beverage container from the spout into a container such as a mug or a glass using gas such as carbon dioxide gas supplied from a gas cylinder. The beverage container has a down tube that pushes the beverage out of the beverage container, and the dispensing head supplies gas supplied from the gas cylinder to a space inside the beverage container. This gas pushes down the liquid level of the beverage within the beverage container, thereby forcing the beverage out of the down tube and out of the beverage container.

The dispensing head includes an operating lever, and the beverage in the beverage container is dispensed from the dispensing spout in response to the operating lever being pushed or pulled in the front-rear direction as viewed from the user. The dispensing head has a fastening part that is fastened to the mouth of the beverage container, and a dispensing part that is provided with an operating lever and from which the beverage is dispensed. The spouting head is used with the fastening part housed inside the main body and the spouting part being exposed to the outside of the main body.

JP 2021-70525 Publication

In the above-mentioned pouring head, the operation lever is pushed and pulled in the front and rear directions while being supported by the box-shaped main body. By the way, especially in recent years, in order to make the device more compact, the casing such as the above-mentioned main body may be omitted or the weight of the beverage dispensing device may be reduced. However, in the above-mentioned pouring head, if the main body is omitted or the weight is reduced, a problem may arise in which the beverage container falls down when the operating lever is pushed or pulled in the front-back direction. For example, in the case of a configuration consisting of only a beverage container and a dispensing head, the beverage container will fall over if only one hand is used to pull the operating lever. Therefore, the current situation is that the beverage cannot be poured into the glass or the like unless a glass or the like is placed and the beverage container is supported with one hand and the operating lever is pulled with the other hand, making it difficult to use. Furthermore, compared to the case where a glass or the like is placed and the beverage is poured into the glass or the like, it is possible to pour out a higher quality beverage by holding the glass or the like and pouring the beverage. Therefore, it is required to be able to hold a glass or the like with one hand and operate it with a hand other than the hand that holds the glass or the like.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a beverage dispensing device, a clank, and an operating lever that can be made compact and that are difficult to fall over even when operated with one hand.

The beverage dispensing device according to the present disclosure includes (1) a container that accommodates a beverage and has a spout from which the beverage flows out, a collar that pours out the beverage that has flowed out from the spout, and an attachment that attaches the collar to the spout. The device includes a mechanism and an operating lever for operating the beverage dispensing by clicking. The collar is attached to a mounting mechanism, and includes a collar body into which the beverage from the container enters, a beverage dispensing portion from which the beverage that has entered the collar body is poured out, and a collar protruding from the collar body in the direction approaching the container; and a tilting part that pours out the beverage from the beverage spouting part by tilting in a direction away from the container. The operating lever extends from the tilting portion toward the container. The operating lever has an operating part that is pushed in the vertical direction by a pourer who pours out a beverage, and the tilting part is tilted when the operating part is pushed in the vertical direction. The operating portion is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity line extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container than the tilting portion.

In this beverage dispensing device, a container that accommodates a beverage has a spout, and a drinker dispenses the beverage that flows out from the spout. The curn has a tilting part that tilts in a direction toward the container and in a direction away from the container, and by tilting the tilting part, a beverage is poured out from the beverage dispensing part of the curn. The operating lever extends from the tilting portion toward the container, and has an operating portion that is pushed in the vertical direction by a pourer who pours out the beverage. When the operation part is pushed in the vertical direction, the tilting part is tilted and the beverage is poured out. Therefore, since the beverage is dispensed by pushing the operating portion of the operating lever in the vertical direction, the container is less likely to fall over during operation, compared to an operating lever that is pushed or pulled in the front-back direction. Further, the operating section is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity line extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container than the tilting section. Therefore, the moment generated in the container when the operating portion is pushed in the vertical direction can be suppressed to a small level, so that the container can be prevented from falling even if the operating portion is pushed in the vertical direction with one hand. Therefore, a casing or the like for accommodating the container and supporting the collar can be made unnecessary, so that the apparatus can be made more compact.

(2) In the above (1), the beverage dispensing device may include a hand support section that prevents the container from tilting by supporting the hand and fingers of the dispensing person who operates the operation section. In this case, the hand support section supports the pourer's fingers, thereby regulating the inclination of the container when pouring out the beverage. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the container from falling over during pouring.

(3) In the above (1) or (2), the operating lever may extend obliquely upward so as to become further away from the collar body as it becomes farther away from the tilting part. In this case, it is possible to more reliably suppress contact of the operating part with the click ring body when the operating part is pushed downward. Therefore, the operability of the operating section can be improved, and the operating lever can be made easier to use.

(4) In any one of (1) to (3) above, the beverage dispensing device may include an attachment/detachment mechanism that allows the operating lever to be attached to and detached from the tilting portion. In this case, since it becomes possible to remove the operating lever from the tilting part of the collar, cleaning etc. can be performed with the operating lever alone. In this way, since it is possible to remove the operating lever and clean only the operating lever, the maintainability of the operating lever can be improved.

(5) In (4) above, the operating lever may have a through hole. The attachment/detachment mechanism may include a bolt formed on the outer surface of the tilting portion, and a nut that tightens the operating lever having the bolt passed through the through hole. In this case, the operating lever can be attached to and detached from the tilting part using a bolt and a nut. Therefore, the operating lever can be easily attached to and removed from the tilting part, and the operating lever can be more firmly fixed to the tilting part with the bolt and nut.

The collar according to the present disclosure is (6) a collar that is attached to a container that houses a beverage and has a spout through which the beverage flows out. A control lever is attached to the clank to operate the beverage dispenser. The collar includes a collar body into which the beverage from the container enters, a beverage dispensing portion from which the beverage that has entered the collar body is poured out, and a beverage dispensing portion that protrudes from the collar body and tilts in the direction toward the container and in the direction away from the container. and a tilting part that pours out the beverage from the beverage pouring part. The operating lever extends from the tilting portion toward the container. The operating lever has an operating part that is pushed in the vertical direction by a pourer who pours out a beverage, and the tilting part is tilted when the operating part is pushed in the vertical direction. The operating portion is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity line extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container than the tilting portion.

This cup dispenses the beverage that has flowed out from the mouth of the container. The collar has a tilting part, and by tilting the tilting part, a beverage is poured out from the beverage dispensing part of the collar. An operating lever extends toward the container from the tilting portion, and the operating lever has an operating portion that is pushed in the vertical direction by a pourer who pours out a beverage. Therefore, since the beverage is dispensed by pushing the operating part of the operating lever in the vertical direction, compared to the operating lever that is pushed and pulled in the front-rear direction, similar to the beverage dispensing device described above, the container falls over when operated. It can be made difficult. Since the operating section is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity line extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container than the tilting section, the moment generated in the container when the operating section is pushed in the vertical direction can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the container from falling over even if the operating portion is pushed in the vertical direction with one hand. Therefore, a casing or the like for accommodating the container and supporting the collar can be made unnecessary, so that the apparatus can be made more compact.

The operating lever according to the present disclosure is (7) an operating lever attached to a collar for dispensing a beverage contained in a container. The cup has a tilting portion that dispenses the beverage by tilting toward and away from the container. The operating lever includes an operating section that is pushed in the vertical direction by a pourer who pours out the beverage, and tilts the tilting section by being pushed in the vertical direction. The operating portion is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity line extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container than the tilting portion.

This operating lever has an operating part that is pushed in the vertical direction by a pourer, and the beverage is dispensed by pushing the operating part of the operating lever in the vertical direction. Therefore, similar to the beverage dispensing device and clicker described above, the container can be made less likely to fall over during operation, compared to an operating lever that is pushed or pulled in the front-back direction. The operating portion is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity line extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container than the tilting portion. Therefore, the moment generated in the container when the operating portion is pushed in the vertical direction can be suppressed to a small level, so that the container can be prevented from falling even if the operating portion is pushed in the vertical direction with one hand. Therefore, a casing or the like for accommodating the container and supporting the collar can be made unnecessary, so that the apparatus can be made more compact.

According to the present disclosure, it is possible to make the device more compact and to prevent the container from falling over even when operated with one hand.

A "beverage dispensing device" is a device for dispensing a beverage, and "beverage" refers to a drinkable liquid or semi-solid. "Beverages" include alcoholic beverages such as beer, low-malt beer, chuhai, and wine, as well as carbonated drinks and soft drinks that do not contain alcohol.

A "beverage" is, for example, a sparkling beverage. "Effervescent beverages" include, for example, fermented liquors containing gases such as carbon dioxide gas. "Effervescent beverages" have foaming properties that form a layer of foam on top of the liquid when poured into a glass, etc., and foam retention properties that allow the formed foam to remain for a certain period of time or more. It is a drink.

The "sparkling beverage" may be a beer-taste beverage. Beer-taste beverages include beverages that taste like beer and beverages that give the drinker the feeling of drinking beer. A beer-taste drink with an alcohol content of 1% or more is also called a beer-taste alcoholic drink. Note that the "sparkling beverage" may be a beverage other than a beer-taste beverage. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the sparkling beverage is beer and the liquid of the sparkling beverage is beer liquid.

"Container" refers to a container that contains a beverage. The container has a spout through which the beverage flows. The "mouth part" indicates the entrance/exit of the beverage into the container. For example, the mouth is formed at the top of the container. Karan pours out the drink that has flowed out of his mouth. ``Cullant'' indicates a component that pours out the beverage inside the container to the outside of the beverage dispensing device.

The beverage dispensing device has an attachment mechanism for attaching the collar to the mouth of the container. The "attachment mechanism" is a mechanism for attaching the collar to the container. As an example, the "attachment mechanism" has a first threaded part that is screwed into the mouth of the container, and a second threaded part into which the collar is screwed, and the "attachment mechanism" has a first threaded part that is connected to the mouth, and a second threaded part that is screwed into the mouth of the container. Attach the collar to the container by joining the collar to the container. As a specific example, the first threaded portion is screwed into the mouth of a container (for example, a can or a bottle) through an annular packing. However, the configuration of the "attachment mechanism" is not limited to the above example.

The beverage dispensing device has an operating lever that is operated to dispense the beverage by clicking. The "operation lever" is a component operated by a dispenser who dispenses the beverage contained in the container. Beverage is poured out from the cup by operating the "operation lever." The collar has a tilting portion that tilts toward and away from the container.

The "tilting part" indicates the part of the collar that tilts for dispensing the beverage. In the clicker, a beverage is poured out from the beverage dispensing part of the clicker by tilting the tilting part. "Tilt toward the container" refers to tilting toward the container (toward the container), and "tilt away from the container" refers to tilting toward the opposite side of the container (away from the container). ).

The operating lever has an operating part that is pushed in the up and down direction by a pourer who pours out a beverage. The "operation part" is a part of the operation lever that the pourer's fingers come into contact with, and the beverage is poured out from the cup when the fingers of the pourer come into contact with the operation part. "Pushing in the vertical direction" includes both pushing downward and pushing upward, and "being pushed in the vertical direction" also includes being pulled up with a finger. The operating portion is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity line extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container than the tilting portion. The "center of gravity of the container" indicates the center of mass of the container, and the "center of gravity line" indicates an imaginary straight line extending vertically from the center of gravity.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a beverage dispensing device 1 according to the first embodiment. Beverage dispensing device 1 includes a container 2 that accommodates beverage B, a mounting mechanism 3 that is attached to the mouth portion 2b of the container 2, a collar 10 that is attached to the opposite side of the mounting mechanism 3 from the container 2, and a collar 10 that is attached to the opposite side of the mounting mechanism 3 from the container 2. 10 and an operating lever 20 attached to the control lever 10. The container 2 is a (common) lightweight container that accommodates the beverage B and can be carried by hand, and is, for example, a plastic bottle.

The mouth portion 2b of the container 2 has, for example, a cylindrical shape. The mouth portion 2b is located at the upper end of the container 2. For example, the attachment mechanism 3 can be attached to an existing (ready-made) container 2. FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the container 2 and the mounting mechanism 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the attachment mechanism 3 includes a cylindrical portion 3b that is screwed into the mouth portion 2b, and a cylindrical portion 3b that is fixed to the cylindrical portion 3b and protrudes in a direction away from the center of gravity L of the container 2. It has a protrusion 3c. The center of gravity line L of the container 2 is an imaginary straight line extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container 2 . For example, the axis of the cylindrical portion 3b coincides with the center of gravity L of the container 2.

For example, a female thread is formed inside the cylindrical part 3b, and the mounting mechanism 3 is mounted on the mouth part 2b by threading the female thread of the cylindrical part 3b into the male thread of the mouth part 2b. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the beverage dispensing device 1 includes, for example, a cylinder 4 that supplies gas (for example, carbon dioxide gas) to the beverage B, and the cylindrical part 3b has a hole in which the cylinder 4 is attached. It has 3d. As an example, the cylinder 4 is a mini gas.

The hole 3d is depressed from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 3b. The beverage pouring device 1 includes, for example, a cylinder attachment member 5 that attaches the cylinder 4 to the attachment mechanism 3 , and the cylinder 4 is attached to the attachment mechanism 3 via the cylinder attachment member 5 . The cylinder mounting member 5 includes a cylinder holding part 5b that holds the cylinder 4, and a mounting part 5c extending from the cylinder holding part 5b in a direction different from the direction in which the cylinder 4 extends. For example, a female thread is formed inside the hole 3d, a male thread is formed on the outer surface of the tip of the mounting part 5c, and the male thread of the mounting part 5c is screwed into the female thread of the hole 3d. By matching, the cylinder attachment member 5 is attached to the attachment mechanism 3.

As an example, the cylindrical portion 3b is made of resin, and the protruding portion 3c is made of metal. However, the material of the cylindrical portion 3b and the material of the protruding portion 3c are not particularly limited. For example, the beverage dispensing device 1 includes a tube C that extends downward from the mounting mechanism 3 and is immersed in the beverage B inside the container 2. Beverage B is supplied inside 3c. Beverage B supplied inside the protrusion 3c flows into the collar 10.

For example, the protruding portion 3c includes a fixed portion 3f fixed to the cylindrical portion 3b, and an extending portion 3g extending in a direction away from the center of gravity L with respect to the fixed portion 3f. As an example, the fixed part 3f has a disk shape at the upper part of the cylindrical part 3b. The extending portion 3g protrudes from the side surface 3h of the fixed portion 3f, and the collar 10 is attached to the end of the extending portion 3g on the opposite side from the fixed portion 3f.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the existing callan 100. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the existing operating lever 11A is removed from the collar 100. For example, the bellows 100 is a bellows that can be attached to a commercial beverage server that has a box-like housing. The collar 100 is attached to the container 2 via the attachment mechanism 3. The bellows 100 includes an operating lever 11A that can be held and moved by hand, a bellows body 12 to which the operating lever 11A is attached, and a beverage pouring portion 13 extending diagonally downward from the bellows body 12. The beverage pouring unit 13 is located, for example, on the opposite side of the container 2 when viewed from the liquid nozzle 14 from which the liquid of the beverage B (eg, beer liquid), which is a sparkling beverage, is poured out. and a foam nozzle 15.

The conventional operating lever 11A is located on the side opposite to the container 2 when viewed from the pot 10 by the person pouring out the beverage B (the front side of the beverage pouring device 1, the right side in FIG. 4), and on the side of the container 2 (the side of the beverage pouring device 1 (the left side in FIG. 4). Hereinafter, the side opposite to the container 2 as viewed from the collar 10 may be referred to as the front side, and the side of the container 2 as viewed from the collar 10 may be referred to as the back side. The operating lever 11A has a rod shape extending upward from the collar body 12.

The collar body 12 includes, for example, a cylindrical part 12b in which an operating lever 11A, a liquid nozzle 14, and a foam nozzle 15 are provided, and a mounting part 12c whose diameter increases on the opposite side of the cylindrical part 12b from the operating lever 11A. Equipped with. For example, the attachment part 12c is attached to the attachment mechanism 3 via the cylindrical member 6 (see FIG. 2) interposed between the collar body 12 and the attachment mechanism 3. The cylindrical member 6 accommodates the protrusion 3c of the mounting mechanism 3 and has an inner surface formed with a female thread. The collar main body 12 is attached to the cylindrical member 6 by screwing a male screw formed on the outer surface of the attachment portion 12c into this female screw.

Beverage B flows into the interior of the drinker body 12 via the container 2, the tube C, and the attachment mechanism 3. A slide valve is built into the cupboard body 12 to open and close a flow path for the beverage B flowing into the potion body 12. For example, when the operating lever 11A is pulled and moved to the front side, the slide valve is moved to the back side and the liquid of beverage B is poured out from the liquid nozzle 14, and when the operating lever 11A is pushed and moved to the back side. The slide valve moves to the front side, and the foam of beverage B (for example, fine foam of beer) flows into the foam nozzle 15.

Thereby, in the drinker 100, both the liquid and the foam of the beverage B can be poured out by pushing and pulling the operating lever 11A. That is, when the operating lever 11A is pulled, the liquid of beverage B is dispensed from the liquid nozzle 14, and when the operating lever 11A is pushed, the foam of beverage B is dispensed from the foam nozzle 15.

The collar 100 includes a tilting portion 16 that projects from the collar body 12. For example, the collar main body 12 has a protrusion 12d that protrudes upward from the cylindrical part 12b, and the tilting part 16 further protrudes upward from the protrusion 12d. As an example, the tilting part 16 includes an annular part 16b located above the protruding part 12d, an inclined part 16c whose diameter decreases upward from the upper end of the annular part 16b, and a diameter which expands upward from the upper end of the inclined part 16c. It has an enlarged diameter portion 16d and a bolt 16f that projects upward from the enlarged diameter portion 16d.

One end (lower end in FIG. 4) of the operating lever 11A in the longitudinal direction is a cylindrical portion, and a female screw threaded into the bolt 16f is formed inside the cylindrical portion. The operating lever 11A can be attached to and detached from the tilting portion 16 by screwing the female screw of the cylindrical portion into the bolt 16f.

In a state where the operating lever 11A is attached to the tilting portion 16, the tilting portion 16 is tilted in response to push/pull operations of the operating lever 11A. The tilting portion 16 pours out the beverage from the beverage pouring portion 13 by tilting in the direction toward the container 2 (back side) and in the direction away from the container 2 (front side).

More specifically, when the operating lever 11A is pulled and tilted in the direction away from the container 2, the tilting unit 16 moves the slide valve described above to the back side and drains the liquid of the beverage B from the liquid nozzle 14. Let it pour out. When the operating lever 11A is pressed and tilted in the direction approaching the container 2, the tilting unit 16 moves the slide valve toward the front side and pours out the foam of the beverage B from the foam nozzle 15. .

When the above-mentioned callan 100 is attached to the case of a commercial beverage server, there is no problem even if the operating lever 11A is pushed or pulled because the weight of the case is large. On the other hand, it is not limited to business use, and even for home use, for example, there are cases where it is desired to enjoy a sparkling beverage by pouring out the liquid of Beverage B and fine foam in the same way as Karan 100.

In such a case, it is required to attach the collar 100 to the container 2, which is a lightweight container, via the attachment mechanism 3. However, if the operating lever 11A is pushed or pulled while the collar 100 is attached to the container 2 via the attachment mechanism 3, there is a possibility that the container 2 will tilt and fall because the container 2 is light. Therefore, the beverage dispensing device equipped with the plunger 100 has a problem in that the beverage B cannot be dispensed with one hand.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, in the collar 10 of this embodiment, an operating lever 20 is attached to the collar main body 12 instead of the operating lever 11A of the collar 100. In the beverage dispensing device 1 equipped with the collar 10 having this operating lever 20, it is possible to dispense the beverage B with one hand. For example, with the container 2 of the beverage dispensing device 1 placed in the refrigerator, the beverage B can be dispensed with one hand.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the operating lever 20. As shown in FIGS. 1, 5, and 6, the operating lever 20 has a plate-shaped portion 22 in which a through hole 21 is formed, into which the bolt 16f of the tilting portion 16 is inserted. For example, the operating lever 20 extends diagonally upward as it becomes farther away from the plate-shaped portion 22.

As an example, the operating lever 20 has a rectangular plate shape. The operating lever 20 includes a plate portion 22, a first slope portion 23 that slopes diagonally upward from one longitudinal end of the plate portion 22, and the first slope portion 23 located on the opposite side of the plate portion 22. It has an operation section 24. The operating portion 24 is a portion that is pushed in the vertical direction by a pourer M (see FIG. 7) who pours out the beverage B. Furthermore, the operating lever 20 includes a second inclined part 25 that is inclined diagonally upward from the other longitudinal end of the plate-like part 22, and a top part 26 of the second inclined part 25 that is located on the opposite side of the plate-like part 22. has.

The through hole 21 has, for example, a circular shape. The diameter of the through hole 21 is larger than the diameter of the bolt 16f. As an example, the length of the first inclined portion 23 in the longitudinal direction is longer than the length of the plate-like portion 22 in the longitudinal direction. For example, the angle of inclination of the first inclined part 23 with respect to the plate-shaped part 22 is smaller than the angle of inclination of the second inclined part 25 with respect to the plate-shaped part 22.

The angle of inclination of the operating portion 24 with respect to the plate-like portion 22 is smaller than the angle of inclination of the first inclined portion 23 with respect to the plate-like portion 22 . The operating portion 24 extends from the upper end of the first inclined portion 23 extending obliquely upward from the plate portion 22 to the opposite side from the plate portion 22 . As an example, the operating section 24 may extend substantially parallel to the plate-like section 22.

The length of the second inclined portion 25 in the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 20 is shorter than the length of the first inclined portion 23 in the longitudinal direction of the operating lever 20 . The top portion 26 extends from the upper end of the second inclined portion 25 extending obliquely upward from the plate portion 22 to the opposite side from the plate portion 22 . As an example, the height of the operating part 24 with respect to the plate-like part 22 is the same as the height of the top part 26 with respect to the plate-like part 22.

FIG. 7A is a perspective view showing an operation in which the operating section 24 is pushed upward (pulled up). FIG. 7B is a perspective view showing an operation in which the operation unit 24 is pushed downward (pressed down). For example, the beverage pouring device 1 includes an attachment/detachment mechanism that allows the operating lever 20 to be attached to and detached from the tilting portion 16, and the attachment/detachment mechanism includes a bolt 16f and a nut 17 of the tilting portion 16. The operating lever 20 is configured such that the bolt 16f of the tilting section 16 is passed through the through hole 21 in such a direction that the first tilting section 23 extends obliquely upward from the plate-like section 22, and the nut 17 is tightened on the bolt 16f. It is attached.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 7(a), and 7(b), when the operating portion 24 is pushed upward by the fingers F of the dispenser M, the tilting portion 16 is moved away from the container 2. tilt to. "Fingers" refer to the fingers or hands of the pourer. When the tilting portion 16 is tilted in a direction away from the container 2, the slide valve of the cup body 12 moves to the back side, and the liquid of the beverage B is poured out from the liquid nozzle 14.

On the other hand, when the operation part 24 is pushed downward by the finger F of the pourer M, the tilting part 16 tilts in the direction of approaching the container 2. When the tilting portion 16 is tilted in a direction approaching the container 2, the slide valve described above moves toward the front side, and the foam of beverage B is poured out from the foam nozzle 15.

The operating lever 20 extends from the tilting portion 16 toward the container 2, and the operating portion 24 is provided at the tip of the operating lever 20 extending from the tilting portion 16 toward the container 2. Therefore, even if the operating portion 24 is pushed upward or downward by the fingers F as described above, the container 2 can be prevented from falling over. Therefore, it is possible to pour out beverage B with one hand.

The operating portion 24 of the operating lever 20 is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity L of the container 2 than the tilting portion 16 is. For example, the operating lever 20 extends above the collar body 12 and the attachment mechanism 3 and along the collar body 12 and the attachment mechanism 3. The distance (the distance in the vertical direction) from the collar main body 12 or the mounting mechanism 3 to the operating lever 20 increases as the distance from the plate portion 22 increases. Therefore, even if the operating portion 24 is pressed down, the operating lever 20 can be prevented from coming into contact with the collar main body 12 or the attachment mechanism 3.

For example, the operating section 24 is located between the tilting section 16 and the center of gravity L in the direction in which the collar main body 12 extends (the left-right direction in FIG. 1). Thereby, it is possible to more reliably prevent the container 2 from falling over when the operating portion 24 is pressed. Further, the operating section 24 may be located on the opposite side of the center of gravity L from the tilting section 16 (to the left of the center of gravity L in FIG. 1). In this case as well, overturning of the container 2 when pouring out the beverage B is suppressed. Note that the operation section 24 may be located directly above the center of gravity line L. In this case, the container 2 can be stabilized more reliably and overturned more reliably.

Next, the effects obtained from the beverage dispensing device 1, the collar 10, and the operating lever 20 according to this embodiment will be described in more detail. In the beverage dispensing device 1, the collar 10, and the operating lever 20, the container 2 that accommodates the beverage B has a mouth portion 2b, and the collar 10 pours out the beverage B that has flowed out from the mouth portion 2b. The collar 10 has a tilting part 16 that tilts in a direction toward the container 2 and in a direction away from the container 2, and by tilting the tilting part 16, the beverage B is poured out from the beverage dispensing part 13 of the collar 10. It will be done. The operating lever 20 extends from the tilting part 16 toward the container 2, and has an operating part 24 that is pushed in the vertical direction by a pourer M who pours out the beverage B. When the operation part 24 is pushed in the vertical direction, the tilting part 16 is tilted and the beverage B is poured out. Therefore, since the beverage B is dispensed by pushing the operating portion 24 of the operating lever 20 in the vertical direction, the container 2 is less likely to fall over when operated, compared to the operating lever 11A that is pushed and pulled in the front-back direction. can.

Further, the operating portion 24 is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity line L extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container 2 than the tilting portion 16 is. Therefore, the moment generated in the container 2 when the operating section 24 is pushed in the vertical direction can be suppressed, so that the container 2 can be prevented from falling even if the operating section 24 is pushed in the vertical direction with one hand. Therefore, a casing for accommodating the container 2 and supporting the collar 10 can be made unnecessary, so that the apparatus can be made more compact. Furthermore, it is possible to hold a glass or the like from which beverage B is to be poured with one hand and operate the operating section 24 with a hand other than the hand that holds the glass or the like. Therefore, compared to the case where a glass or the like is placed and the beverage B is poured into the glass or the like, a higher quality beverage B can be poured out by holding the glass or the like and pouring it out. As a specific example, when Beverage B is a beer-taste beverage, pouring it out with a glass or the like makes it difficult to generate coarse foam, so it is possible to provide a beer-taste beverage with good quality that is close to the quality of draft beer.

The operating lever 20 may extend obliquely upward so as to become further away from the collar body 12 as it becomes farther away from the tilting portion 16 . In this case, it is possible to more reliably prevent the operating portion 24 from coming into contact with the collar body 12 when the operating portion 24 is pushed downward. Therefore, since the operability of the operating portion 24 can be improved, the operating lever 20 can be made easier to use.

The beverage pouring device 1 may include an attachment/detachment mechanism that allows the operating lever 20 to be attached to and detached from the tilting portion 16 . In this case, since the operating lever 20 can be removed from the tilting portion 16 of the collar 10, cleaning etc. can be performed with the operating lever 20 alone. In this way, since it is possible to remove the operating lever 20 and clean only the operating lever 20, the maintainability of the operating lever 20 can be improved.

The operating lever 20 may have a through hole 21. The attachment/detachment mechanism described above may include a bolt 16f formed on the outer surface of the tilting portion 16, and a nut 17 that tightens the operating lever 20 with the bolt 16f passed through the through hole 21. In this case, the operating lever 20 can be attached to and detached from the tilting portion 16 using a bolt 16f and a nut 17. Therefore, the operating lever 20 can be easily attached to and removed from the tilting part 16, and the operating lever 20 can be more firmly fixed to the tilting part 16 by the bolt 16f and nut 17.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a beverage dispensing device according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12. A portion of the configuration of the beverage pouring device according to the second embodiment is the same as a portion of the configuration of the beverage pouring device 1 described above. Therefore, in the following, descriptions that overlap with the description of the beverage pouring device 1 will be omitted as appropriate. As shown in FIG. 8, the beverage dispensing device according to the second embodiment includes a collar 31 to which an operating lever 40 different from the operating lever 20 is attached.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the operating lever 40. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the operating lever 40 seen from a different direction from that shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the operating lever 40 has a plate-shaped portion 42 in which a through hole 41 is formed into which the bolt 16f of the tilting portion 16 is inserted. The operating lever 40 includes a first inclined portion 43 that is inclined obliquely upward from one longitudinal end of the plate-like portion 42, and a first operating portion 44 (located on the opposite side of the first inclined portion 43 from the plate-like portion 42). (operation section).

Furthermore, the operating lever 40 includes a second inclined portion 45 that is inclined diagonally upward from the other longitudinal end of the plate-like portion 42 and a second operating lever that is located on the opposite side of the second inclined portion 45 from the plate-like portion 42 . section 46 (operation section). Each of the first operation part 44 and the second operation part 46 is a part that is pushed in the vertical direction by the pourer M who pours out the beverage B.

The through hole 41 includes, for example, a first hole 41b and a second hole 41c having a larger area than the first hole 41b. The first hole 41b and the second hole 41c are lined up along the thickness direction of the operating lever 40. As an example, both the first hole 41b and the second hole 41c have a circular shape, and the diameter of the second hole 41c is larger than the diameter of the first hole 41b. The operating lever 40 is attached to the tilting portion 16 with the second hole portion 41c facing downward. Further, the operating lever 40 is attached to the tilting portion 16 (bolt 16f) with the nut 17 with the second operating portion 46 facing toward the front and the first operating portion 44 facing toward the back.

As an example, the first inclined portion 43 and the first operating portion 44 and the second inclined portion 45 and the second operating portion 46 are symmetrical with respect to the center of the through hole 41. The thickness of the first operating portion 44 (the length in the plate thickness direction of the operating lever 40) becomes thinner as it becomes farther away from the first inclined portion 43 (as it goes toward the longitudinal end of the operating lever 40). . As a result, the first operating portion 44 has a shape that allows it to be easily operated by pushing in the vertical direction (in the thickness direction of the operating lever 40). Like the first inclined portion 43, the second operating portion 46 also becomes thinner toward the longitudinal end of the operating lever 40.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 11, the cup 31 has a finger support part 50 on which the hand F of the pourer M is hung. The finger support section 50 has, for example, a plate shape. The finger support part 50 is attached to the bell body 12 of the bell body 31, and projects horizontally from the bell body 12 while being attached to the bell body 12. For example, the finger support section 50 includes an attachment section 52 that is attached to the collar body 12 and a protrusion section 51 that protrudes from the attachment section 52 in the horizontal direction.

The mounting portion 52 has a semi-cylindrical shape into which the collar body 12 can fit. For example, the mounting portion 52 is formed into a concave shape, and the bellows main body 12 is inserted into the concave portion of the mounting portion 52 to be mounted on the bellows main body 12. For example, the mounting portion 52 has a concavely curved inner circumferential surface 53 into which the columnar collar body 12 is inserted. As an example, the inner circumferential surface 53 is a cylindrical inner surface into which the columnar collar body 12 is inserted.

The mounting portion 52 has a hole 54 into which the beverage pouring portion 13 (liquid nozzle 14 and foam nozzle 15) is inserted. The hole portion 54 is a through hole that penetrates the finger support portion 50 in the thickness direction. The hole portion 54 extends along the direction in which the axis of the semi-cylindrical mounting portion 52 extends (the longitudinal direction of the mounting portion 52). The liquid nozzle 14 and the foam nozzle 15 are inserted into the hole 54 so that the liquid nozzle 14 and the foam nozzle 15 are lined up along the direction in which the axis of the mounting portion 52 extends. At this time, the bell body 12 comes into contact with the inner circumferential surface 53, and the hand finger support portion 50 is attached to the bell body 12 by fitting the bell body 12 into the mounting portion 52.

The finger support part 50 has, for example, a pair of protrusions 51, and the pair of protrusions 51 protrude from the mounting part 52 in mutually opposite directions. As an example, the protrusion 51 has a flat plate shape. The fingers F of a pourer M who pours out the beverage B are placed on the protrusion 51 . By each of the plurality of fingers of the pourer M coming into contact with each of the pair of protrusions 51, the container 2 is prevented from tipping over when the beverage B is poured.

FIGS. 12(a) and 12(b) are perspective views showing an example of a method for dispensing beverage B from the beverage dispensing device according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 12(a) and 12(b), when the second operation part 46 is pressed by the hand F of the pourer M, the tilting part 16 tilts in the direction away from the container 2, and the liquid The liquid of beverage B is poured out from the nozzle 14.

At this time, the pourer M presses the second operation part 46 with the finger F1 (for example, the thumb), and also moves the finger F2 (for example, the index finger, middle finger, or ring finger) different from the finger F1 to the finger support part 50 (projection part 51). By contacting the lower surface, the force pushed downward by the finger F1 can be offset by the finger F2. Therefore, since the container 2 can be stabilized when pouring out the liquid of beverage B, the container 2 is prevented from tipping over, and the liquid of beverage B can be poured with one hand (for example, the right hand).

On the other hand, when the first operation part 44 is pressed by the finger F of the pourer M, the tilting part 16 tilts in a direction approaching the container 2, and the foam of the beverage B is poured out from the foam nozzle 15. At this time, the pourer M pushes the first operation part 44 with the finger F1 and also brings the finger F2, which is different from the finger F1, into contact with the lower surface of the finger support part 50 (protruding part 51). The force pushed downward by the finger F2 can be canceled out by the finger F2. Therefore, since the container 2 can be stabilized when pouring out the foam of beverage B, the container 2 is prevented from falling over, and the foam of beverage B can be poured with one hand (for example, the left hand).

As described above, in the beverage dispensing device, the clicker 31, and the operating lever 40 according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8, 12(a), and 12(b), the operating portion (first operating portion 44) is provided at a position closer to the center of gravity line L extending vertically upward from the center of gravity of the container 2 than the tilting portion 16 is. Therefore, the moment generated in the container 2 when the first operating section 44 is pushed in the vertical direction can be suppressed, so that the container 2 can be prevented from falling even if the first operating section 44 is pushed in the vertical direction with one hand. Can be done. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, a casing for accommodating the container 2 and supporting the collar 31 can be made unnecessary, so that the apparatus can be made more compact.

In the second embodiment, each of the foam and liquid of beverage B can be poured out by pressing down each of the first operating section 44 and the second operating section 46 . Furthermore, the beverage dispensing device according to the second embodiment prevents the container 2 from tilting by supporting the hand F of the pourer M who operates the operating section (the first operating section 44 or the second operating section 46). A finger support section 50 for regulating is provided. In this case, the hand support section 50 supports the hand F of the pourer M, thereby regulating the inclination of the container 2 when the beverage B is poured. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the container 2 from falling over during pouring.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a beverage dispensing device according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 13(a) and 13(b). As shown in FIGS. 13(a) and 13(b), the beverage dispensing device according to the third embodiment includes a collar 71 to which an operating lever 60 different from the operating levers 20 and 40 described above is attached.

The operating lever 60 is attached to the front side of the bell body 12 of the bell 71, for example. The operating lever 60 includes an upper extending portion 61 extending toward the front from the tilting portion 16, and a lower extending portion 62 extending toward the front with respect to the collar body 12 below the upper extending portion 61. It has a connecting part 63 that connects the upper extending part 61 and the lower extending part 62 to each other.

Furthermore, the operating lever 60 has a mounting portion 64 that is attached to the tilting portion 16 . The attachment portion 64 is located, for example, at the end of the upper extension portion 61 on the connection portion 63 side. The attachment portion 64 has a through hole similar to the through hole 21 described above, and the operating lever 60 is attached to the tilting portion 16 by inserting the bolt 16f into the through hole. The connecting portion 63 extends from the mounting portion 64 toward the front side and diagonally downward. A lower extending portion 62 protrudes from the end (lower end) of the connecting portion 63 opposite to the mounting portion 64 .

The beverage dispensing device according to the third embodiment includes a finger support portion 65 on which the fingers F of the dispensing person M are hung. The finger support part 65 is attached to the collar body 12, for example. As an example, the finger support part 65 is attached to the longitudinal end (the end on the near side) of the collar main body 12. The finger support portion 65 has, for example, a bottomed cylindrical shape (an example is a bottomed cylindrical shape).

That is, the finger support portion 65 has a cylindrical portion 65b in which an inner peripheral surface 65c and a bottom surface 65d are formed. The finger support portion 65 is attached to the bell body 12 by fitting the cylindrical portion 65b into the end portion of the bell body 12. Note that the finger support portion 65 may be detachably attached to the collar body 12.

In the beverage pouring device according to the third embodiment, the finger F1 of the pourer M presses the upper extension portion 61 downward and the finger support portion 65 is pressed with a finger F2 different from the finger F1, so that the container 2 is The liquid of beverage B can be poured out while preventing it from falling over. On the other hand, the pourer M's finger F1 pushes (pulls up) the lower extension part 62 upwards, and the finger F2, which is different from the finger F1, presses the finger support part 65, thereby preventing the container 2 from falling and allowing the drinker to drink the beverage. The foam of B can be poured out. Therefore, the same effects as in the second embodiment can be obtained from the beverage dispensing device, the collar 71, and the operating lever 60 according to the third embodiment.

(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a beverage dispensing device according to a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 14, 15(a), and 15(b). As shown in FIGS. 14, 15(a), and 15(b), the beverage dispensing device according to the fourth embodiment includes a collar 80 to which an operating lever 81 is attached.

The operating lever 81 has a rod-shaped portion 82 attached to the tilting portion 16 (bolt 16f), and a first finger support portion 83 and a second finger support portion 84 that are held by the same hand that grips the rod portion 82. The rod-shaped portion 82 is, for example, an operation lever similar to the aforementioned operation lever 11A, and is attached to the tilting portion 16 by a female screw formed on the inner surface of the rod-shaped portion 82 screwing into the bolt 16f.

Each of the first finger support part 83 and the second finger support part 84 extends upward from the collar body 12. The first finger support part 83 is located on the front side of the bar-shaped part 82, and the second finger support part 84 is located on the back side of the bar-shaped part 82. That is, the rod-shaped part 82 is provided between the first finger support part 83 and the second finger support part 84 in the longitudinal direction of the collar body 12. As an example, each of the first finger support part 83 and the second finger support part 84 is inclined so as to be separated from the rod-shaped part 82 as it goes upward.

With the cup 80 equipped with the above operation lever 81, it is possible to pour out the liquid and foam of the beverage B with one hand. Specifically, the pourer M pulls the rod-shaped portion 82 with the finger F1 and grasps the rod-shaped portion 82 and the first finger support portion 83 with a finger F2 different from the finger F1 so as to hold the first finger support portion 83. Therefore, since the tilting portion 16 tilts in a direction away from the container 2, the liquid of the beverage B can be poured out. At this time, the force that pulls the rod-shaped portion 82 toward the front is offset by the force that supports the first finger support portion 83 toward the back, so that the container 2 is prevented from falling.

The pourer M grips the second finger support part 84 and the rod-shaped part 82 so as to pull the second finger support part 84 with the finger F1 and push the rod-shaped part 82 with a finger F2 different from the finger F1, thereby releasing the tilting part. 16 is tilted in a direction approaching the container 2, so that the foam of beverage B can be poured out. At this time, the force that pushes the rod-shaped portion 82 toward the back is offset by the force that pulls the second finger support portion 84 toward the front, so that the container 2 is prevented from falling. As described above, since it is possible to prevent the container 2 from falling when pouring out the liquid of beverage B and pouring out the foam of beverage B, the fourth embodiment and the like are similar to the second and third embodiments. Effects can be obtained.

(Fifth embodiment)
Next, a beverage dispensing device according to a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 16. As shown in FIG. 16, the beverage dispensing device according to the fifth embodiment includes a collar 90 to which an operating lever 95 is attached. The operating lever 95 is attached to the tilting portion 16 similarly to the operating lever 81 and the like described above.

The operating lever 95 has, for example, a U-shape when viewed from the side. The operating lever 95 includes a support part 91 extending upward from the tilting part 16, an extension part 94 extending in the longitudinal direction of the collar main body 12 at the lower end of the support part 91, and an extension part 94 extending diagonally upward from the front end of the extension part 94. It has a first tilting part 92 that extends to , and a second tilting part 93 that extends obliquely upward from the rear end of the extension part 94 . Note that the support portion 91 may be attached to the bellows main body 12 or may extend from the bellows main body 12.

For example, each of the first tilting part 92 and the second tilting part 93 is tilted so as to be separated from the support part 91 as it goes upward. The first tilting portion 92, the second tilting portion 93, and the extension portion 94 are integrated. The first tilting part 92, the second tilting part 93, and the extension part 94 are integrally tiltable relative to the support part 91.

With the plunger 90, it is possible to dispense the liquid and foam of beverage B with one hand. Specifically, the pourer M holds the second tilting part 93 and the support part 91 so as to pull the second tilting part 93 and pushing the support part 91 with the same hand, so that the tilting part 16 is released from the container 2. Since it tilts in the direction of separation, the liquid of beverage B can be poured out. On the other hand, the pourer M holds the first tilting part 92 and the support part 91 so as to push the first tilting part 92 and pull the support part 91 with the same hand, thereby moving the tilting part 16 toward the container 2. The foam of beverage B can be poured out. As described above, it is possible to prevent the container 2 from overturning when pouring out the liquid of beverage B and pouring out the foam of beverage B. The same effects as in the embodiment can be obtained.
