Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to an improvement of a movable beer dispensing valve.

"Prior Art" Fig. 3 shows the structure of a conventional beer pouring device. In the beer brewing device shown in FIG. 3, the main body 1 is planted on the upper surface of a counter or the like, and the beer is poured from the beer spout 3 by operating the lever 2 provided on the main body 1 to the front F. And beer is poured into glass 4.

Here, this type of device is provided with a foaming function.
In other words, by controlling the lever 2 to the rearward B, the valve is controlled to a minute open state, a minute circulation state is created, and beer is spouted vigorously. The structure is such that the beer can be poured out, and an appropriate amount of foam can be covered on the beer.

FIG. 4 shows a drinking water pouring valve for pouring mainly drinking water such as juice into a glass, not for beer.
In this drinking water pouring valve, a tubular body 6 is attached to the end of a flexible tube 5, and a valve provided inside the body 6 is operated by operating a trigger lever 7 provided on the body 6. It has a structure that opens and closes and injects drinking water into the glass.

According to the pouring valve having this structure, since the body 6 can freely move its position by the flexible tube 5, it is possible to successively pour drinking water into a large number of arranged glasses, It has good workability and is convenient to use in restaurants.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] According to the fixed type beer pouring device shown in FIG. 3, a foaming function is added, which is suitable for pouring draft beer.

However, there is a drawback in that the dispensing device is fixed on the counter and cannot be widely used on the counter.

In addition, when pouring beer into many glasses, it is necessary to move the glass and operate the lever 2 with both hands, which results in a lot of labor and a long time for pouring.

On the other hand, according to the drinking water pouring valve shown in FIG. 4, the drinking water can be poured into the glasses one after another by simply holding the valve in one hand and moving it. You can pour drinking water into it.

In addition, since it can be stored in a place where it does not get in the way when it is unnecessary, there is an advantage that the counter can be widely used.

However, since it is not originally made for beer, it has no foaming function and cannot be used as a beer pouring device.

The purpose of this invention is to modify the movable drinking water dispensing valve shown in FIG. 4 for beer dispensing.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In this invention, in a movable drinking water pouring valve in which the valve can be opened and closed by a trigger lever provided at the tip of a flexible tube, the trigger lever is assisted. A lever is provided, and by operating this auxiliary lever, the trigger type lever can be rotated in the direction opposite to the original operating direction.By operating this auxiliary lever, the valve is controlled to a minute flow state. The beer is foamed and poured out.

According to the structure of the present invention, the trigger lever is provided with the auxiliary lever and the mechanism for opening the valve to the minute flow state by operating the auxiliary lever is added. Therefore, the auxiliary lever is operated after the beer is poured out. Doing so can generate foam of beer.

Therefore, although it is a movable type pouring device, it has a foaming function and can be utilized as a beer pouring valve.

[Example] Fig. 1 shows the structure of a movable beer pouring valve according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 3 is a beer spout, 5 is a flexible tube, 6 is a cylindrical body, 7 is a trigger lever, and a flexible tube connection port 6A is provided at the lower end of the body 6. The structure in which the flexible tube 5 is connected to the flexible tube connection port 6A is the same as the structure of the conventional movable drinking water pouring valve described in FIG.

The features of the present invention are that a trigger type lever is provided with an auxiliary lever 8 and a valve provided inside the body 6 is provided with a mechanism for giving a minute flow state.

The auxiliary lever 8 is formed integrally with the trigger lever 7 by projecting downward from the base end side of the trigger lever.

The trigger lever 7 is operated in the clockwise direction in the illustrated example. By this operation, the valve is controlled to the open state, and the beer is poured from the beer spout 3.

On the other hand, the auxiliary lever 8 is rotated counterclockwise. The valve is controlled to a minute flow state by this turning operation.

The structure of the valve is shown in FIG. 10 refers to the entire valve. The valve 10 includes a narrow portion 11 formed on the upper portion of the body 6, a rod-shaped operating rod 13 movably arranged along the axis of a narrowed hole of the narrow portion 11, and a gradual hole of the narrow portion 11. The packing 12 attached to the end of the operating rod 13 protruding in the part where the diameter of the
A spring (14) is provided at the other end of the operating rod (13) and applies a biasing force to the operating rod (13) to elastically press the packing (12) against the narrow portion (11).

A slit 13A is vertically formed near the side of the operating rod 13 where the spring 14 is attached, and the operating lever is formed in this slit 13A.
One end of 15 is engaged. The operating lever 15 is rotatably supported by a spherical body 15A and a screw lid 16, and the base of the trigger lever 7 is fitted to the screw portion 15B protruding from the spherical body 15A to the outside, and the bag shown in FIG. The trigger lever 7 and the auxiliary lever 8 are tightened by the nut 15C and fixed to the screw portion 15B.

The free end of the auxiliary lever 8 sandwiches the body 6 and the trigger type lever 7
Place it on the opposite side of the free end of. With this arrangement, when the trigger lever 7 is rotated in the direction of approaching the body 6, the operating rod 13 moves downward, whereas when the auxiliary lever 8 is rotated in the direction of approaching the body 6. The operating rod 13 can be moved upward. That is, the operating rod 13 can be moved in different directions by the force of gripping any of them.

When the trigger lever 7 is rotated clockwise in the state shown in FIG. 1, the operating rod 13 moves downward against the biasing force of the spring 14 and separates the packing 12 from the narrow portion 11.

Therefore, a space is formed between the packing 12 and the narrow portion 11, and the beer flows out from the beer spout 3 and is poured into a glass or the like.

When the trigger lever 7 is returned to its original position, the packing 12 is brought into pressure contact with the narrow portion 11 and the valve 10 is closed.

On the other hand, the lower end of the operating rod 13 is provided with an extension portion that extends further downward from the attachment portion of the packing 12. A flange-shaped stopper 18 is provided on this extension, and a second spring 17 is inserted between the stopper 18 and the packing 12
The spring 17 gives a downward reaction force from the packing 12. With this structure, the operating rod 13 is provided with a stroke capable of moving upward by an amount corresponding to the gap G between the packing 12 and the stopper 18.

The extension extending to the lower side of the operating rod 13 has pores in the axial direction.
13B is formed, and the pores 13B are communicated with the outer peripheral surface of the operating rod 13 at the portion facing the packing 12. Therefore, the upper end side of the pores 13B is blocked by the packing 12, and the distribution of beer is blocked.

When the auxiliary lever 8 is rotated counterclockwise, a compressive force is applied to the second spring 17 via the packing 12 to cause compressive deformation and the operating rod 13 moves upward. By this movement, the upper end side of the pore 13B is exposed to the upper side by the position of the packing 12.

As a result, the beer pressurized and supplied to the body 6 side is ejected to the beer spout 3 side through the fine holes 13B.
By this injection, the beer becomes bubbles, and the bubbles can be poured out from the beer spout 3, so that the beer poured into the glass can be covered with an appropriate amount of bubbles.

[Advantage of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, a micro flow passage is formed by operating the auxiliary lever 8 even though it is a movable pouring valve attached to the end of the flexible tube 5. be able to. As a result, by using it as a draft valve for draft beer, it is possible to easily perform the work of covering the beer with bubbles.

Moreover, since it is a movable type, it does not occupy a space above the counter, so that the counter can be widely used. It can also be stored in an invisible place when not needed.

Further, according to this invention, the trigger type lever 7 and the auxiliary lever 8 are provided.
Since the free end of the trigger type lever 7 and the free end of the auxiliary lever 8 are arranged on the opposite sides of the body 6 with respect to each other, by operating these levers 7 and 8 in the direction of approaching the body 6, It is possible to move the 13 in opposite directions, so that different actions can be performed.
That is, by operating the trigger type lever 7 and the auxiliary lever 8 with one hand, it is possible to perform two operations of beer pouring and foaming with a hand having a pouring valve, and a large number of glasses can be used at a time. The pouring work can be easily performed, and the work efficiency of a restaurant or the like can be improved.
