Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a beer dispensing device for dispensing beer from a beer container (hereinafter simply referred to as a container) such as a surface, a bottle, a barrel, or a beer tamp into a mug, kelp, etc. (hereinafter simply referred to as a mug).

Conventionally, when pouring beer from a large-capacity keg such as a 1 ot or 25 liter keg into a mug, carbon dioxide gas was forced into the premises, and the pressure was used to pour beer into the mug at a considerable speed.

The beer poured in this way rotates at a considerable speed within the mug, and this rotation generates very fine foam, giving the beer a soft and delicious taste.

However, since the pumping of carbon dioxide gas requires equipment and is expensive, this method of dispensing beer is not often used for containers smaller than 10, and dispensing by gravity is used instead.

In addition, various devices have been devised to facilitate dispensing by gravity, but the conventional devices were designed to simply facilitate dispensing, perhaps to make the device cheaper or to make it easier to clean. Most of them were devised.

The foam in beer plays a very important role in the taste, and it is a well-known fact that the finer the foam, the tastier the beer, and when poured into a mug, there is an appropriate amount of fine foam. This is important to improve the taste of beer.

Furthermore, it is necessary to prevent air from being trapped in the bubbles.

However, simply pouring into a mug using gravity does not produce fine foam, and the foam is coarser and tastes harsher than when pumping with carbon dioxide gas.

On the other hand, by using a known pouring device, it is possible to obtain beer with slightly finer foam, but in terms of the fineness of the foam and the taste, it is incomparable to the method using forced delivery of carbon dioxide gas.

In other words, beer pumped with carbon dioxide gas rotates at a considerable speed in the mug, but the shock of this rotation creates small carbon dioxide gas bubbles that turn into fine foam, whereas when beer is poured out by gravity. If you cannot change the speed sufficiently, and if you pour the beer from a high position just to give it speed, the beer will hit the surface of the beer in the mug and trap air, which will make the foam stiff and taste bad.

In addition, using a high-positioned hose or the like to guide the beer into the beer liquid in the mug at high speed only complicates the device and is not practical.

In addition, if you use a stopper with only small holes to make the foam finer, you will get very fine foam and the taste will be soft, but the foam will be too small and the liquid volume will decrease, making it difficult to drink. Not on point.

The present invention provides a beer dispensing device that can achieve the same effect as the pumping of carbon dioxide gas even when dispensing beer using gravity.

Embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to figures showing examples.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the beer pouring device of the present invention.

Figure 2 shows a sectional view taken along line I-I in Figure 1, and
The figure shows how the beer pouring device of the present invention is used.

The beer dispensing device of the present invention includes a fitting part A that fits into a beer dispensing hole provided in a container, a dispensing main body part B, and an air flow passage part C for facilitating beer dispensing. It has become.

The pouring main body B has a substantially cylindrical shape except for the tip.

A main spout hole 1 and a narrow spout hole 2 are provided at the tip, and these main spout hole 1 and narrow spout hole 2 are separated by a beer flow path separation plate 3 provided from the tip toward the rear inside. The opening surface 4 of the main injection hole 1 is formed at an angle of 900 degrees or less with respect to the axis X of the main injection body B.

In the example shown, it is approximately 30°.

In addition, the area of the opening surface 4 is made approximately equal to the cross-sectional area of the pouring main body B, and the fine pouring hole 2 is formed in the collision wall 5 provided at the tip of the flow path separated by the beer flow path separating plate 3. The area of the narrow spouting hole 2 is considerably smaller than that of the main spouting hole 1, and is provided in the range of 2% to 10% in terms of area ratio.

Further, the collision wall 5 and the narrow spouting hole 2 provided therein are provided at a rear position from the tip of the main spouting hole 1.

The beer flow path separating plate 3 is parallel to the axial plane of the spouting main body B, and is biased so that the cross-sectional area on the main spouting hole 1 side is large and the cross-sectional area on the narrow spouting hole 2 side is small. It is.

Further, as described above, the opening surface 4 of the main spout hole 1 is provided so as to form an angle B of 90° or smaller with respect to the axis X of the spout main body B; This is to increase the effective ejection area of No. 1.

The degree of inclination is also related to the length of the beer flow path separation plate 3, but in order to achieve the above purpose, the opening surface 4 must be aligned with the tip of the beer flow path separation plate 3 and the separation plate. It is necessary that the surface includes the peripheral wall of the pouring main body B located rearward from the rear end.

That is, by extending the upper end of the opening surface 4 to the rear of the rear end of the beer flow path separating plate 3, most of the momentum of the beer flow in the outflow main body part B is directed toward the opening surface 4, and the narrow spout hole is This prevents the fine ejection liquid 15 poured out from 2 from increasing in speed and makes it difficult for the fine ejection liquid 15 to combine with the main ejection flow 14.

By configuring the tip of the beer pouring tool of the present invention as described above, various excellent effects as described below can be achieved.

First, the main pouring hole 1, which has a large effective area, provides a sufficient pouring speed, and the fine pouring hole 2, which has a small diameter but provides a sufficient pouring speed, produces fine, small bubbles, resulting in mild and delicious results. Beer is what you get.

In order to obtain enough young fruit, beer is branched to the side of the secondary outlet hole 2 by the beer flow path separation plate 3 at a cross-sectional area ratio considerably larger than the diameter of the narrow outlet hole 2.

As a result, the pressure of the beer just before the machinable outlet hole 2 is significantly increased compared to the case where the beer flow path separation plate 3 is not provided, and the fine pouring liquid 15 is allowed to flow along the main pouring flow 14 from the main pouring hole 1. is obtained.

In addition, the position of the narrow spout hole 2 is shifted backward from the tip of the beer flow path separation plate 3 so that the main spout flow 14 from the main spout hole 1 and the fine spout flow from the narrow spout hole 2 are separated from each other. There is a possibility that the liquids 15 join together before reaching the jug and impede the effect of the fine spout hole 2, and this has the effect of preventing this.

From this point of view, it is necessary to space the narrow spouting hole 2 a certain distance from the beer flow path separation plate.

Note that the longer the length of the pouring body part B, the more the beer pouring flow rate can be increased, but if the volume of the container is about 2 to 5, it is appropriate that the length of the pouring body part B is about 60 mm. The appropriate cross-sectional area is about 60d.

If it is much larger than this, the flow rate and flow rate will increase, but if the direction of pouring is too small, the flow rate and flow rate will be insufficient.

When the pouring main body B has the above-mentioned size, the diameter of the fine pouring hole 2 is preferably about 1.3 m++ to 3 mm, preferably about 1.5 mm to 2 mm.

When using the beer pourer according to the present invention, by providing an oblique outlet hole 2 whose area is in the range of 2% to 10% of the area of the main pouring hole 1, the beer can be poured into the brewer E. The fine, small bubbles necessary to obtain a mild and delicious beer can be formed on the surface of the beer for the following reasons.

■ As shown in Figure 3, fine pouring liquid 1 from fine pouring hole 2.
The liquid flow is strong, and the carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the fine pouring liquid 15 is easily released into the air, so that the fine pouring liquid 15 flows onto the surface of the beer in the mug E. When the carbon dioxide gas reaches the fine ejection liquid 15, the carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the fine ejection liquid 15 to form fine small bubbles.

■ When the fine injection liquid 15 reaches the surface, the jugifier E
A stimulus is given to the beer inside, and the carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the beer in the mug E forms fine, small bubbles due to the stimulus.

If the area of the fine spout hole 2 is increased, the stimulation given to the beer in the mug E will increase when the fine spout liquid 15 reaches the surface, but the fine spout liquid 15 will entrain air and will not reach the surface of the beer. Large air bubbles tend to form.

Further, when the fine pouring liquid 15 reaches the surface, the stimulation applied to the beer in the mug E is reduced, and the fine pouring hole 2 is easily clogged by substances dissolved in the beer.

Therefore, the area of the fine spout hole 2 is 2% of the area of the main spout hole 1.
It is necessary to provide it within a range of 10% to 10%.

The fitting part A is a part for attaching the dispensing body B to the container, and may or may not be integrated with the dispensing body B, but the dispensing tool of the present invention can be economically mass-produced using plastic. In this case, an integrated one is preferable.

The illustrated example shows an example in which plastic is used and molded by injection molding.

The fitting part A is formed from an insertion tube 7 having an annular step 6 with a diameter slightly larger than the beer pouring hole provided in the lid of the container and sealed tightly, and a presser plate 9 surrounding the base of the insertion tube 1. It consists of a thin-walled gasket 10 that is spread out in the shape of a trumpet on the side of the annular step 6. When using the dispensing tool of the present invention, the plug that is tightly sealed in the container is removed and the insertion tube 1 is inserted into the hole in the container. Push it in.

At this time, the annular stepped portion 6 is once deformed and then firmly fitted to the back surface of the periphery of the hole of the container.

Also, by this operation, the trumpet-shaped gasket 10 is further expanded by the pressing force and elastically comes into close contact with the upper surface of the periphery of the hole in the container, completely preventing beer from leaking from this area when pouring beer.

The presser plate 9 facilitates fitting the beer pouring device of the present invention into a container, protects the packing 10, and has the effect of increasing the strength of the entire pouring device.

Although the main purpose of the annular stepped portion 6 is achieved even if the entire circumference is not necessarily connected, the airtightness in this portion is reduced.

Further, the annular step portion 6 may be provided with a slightly concave guide strip 16 for guiding the insertion tube 7.

The air flow path portion C is connected to the inner surface of the insertion tube I into the fitting portion,
It is constituted by a siphon pipe 11 that enters the container to an appropriate length.

This siphon pipe guides air into the container to facilitate pouring out the beer, and by adjusting its length to an appropriate length, it prevents the air that has entered the container from exiting the container along with the flow of poured beer. do.

That is. If the siphon pipe is short, large air bubbles may enter the jug through the spout body B.

In this case, the foam becomes extremely large and spoils the taste of the beer.

This siphon pipe 11 has an inner diameter of 3r when the container is 2 to 5t and the cross-sectional area of the pouring main body B is about 6o, j.
Mt, the length should be around 30wy+.

If this length is increased, the amount of beer poured out can be increased, but it has the disadvantage that molding is extremely difficult.

The siphon pipe 11 is attached to the inner surface of the insertion tube 7 as described above, and the air inlet of the siphon pipe is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the spouting main body B, When provided in communication with the concave groove 13 having the same shape as a part of the circumferential surface, the beer dispensing device of the present invention can be made into an extremely compact structure, and at the same time, it can be injection molded using a mold. This is extremely advantageous in some cases.

That is, if a rod-shaped pin that forms the hollow part of the siphon pipe 11 is implanted in the mold on the spouting hole 1 side, the rod-shaped pin can be removed from the mold along the concave groove 13 when the mold is released. I can do it.

Furthermore, even if beer were to flow out along the siphon pipe, it would flow along the concave groove 13 and reach the main spout 1, which is extremely convenient.

If the beer dispensing device of the present invention is not molded from plastic, it would be difficult to install the siphon pipe in the position shown in the figure, and it would be necessary to select another suitable location.

Note that although the pouring main body B and other parts are shown to have a roughly circular cross section, they are not limited to this, and may be oval or square.

As described above, by using a pouring tool with a simple structure or shape, even when beer is poured from a container using gravity, the foam is fine and the taste is soft, delicious, and carbonated. It has the effect that it can be poured out as well as beer poured out using gas.

Therefore, it has the feature that you can easily enjoy the taste of draft beer.

In addition, there is no need to take any special measures to forcefully convey carbon dioxide gas when manufacturing containers, which reduces container manufacturing costs and eliminates the need to use carbon dioxide gas during pouring, resulting in further cost savings. has.
