Description

AIR MIXING NOZZLE FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF MULTIPLE FLAVOR BEVERAGES Field of the Invention The present invention relates to beverage dispensing nozzles and, more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to a beverage dispensing nozzle for dispensing multi-tasting beverages, including flavor additives, from a single nozzle, without intermixing the flavors of the drink.
Description of Related Art Due to the increase in both the number of customers that are served and the volume of beverages distributed by the food and beverage service industry and the space that is hard to get, the standard beverage dispenser nozzles They fail to meet customer demand. To reduce space requirements, and also for aesthetic reasons, it is desirable to distribute multiple flavors or beverages, including flavor additives, from a single nozzle. Ref.127153 In the distribution of beverages from a mouthpiece, it is essential that the flavored syrup, and, if desired, the flavor additive, be intimately mixed with a fluid for mixing, such as plain or carbonated water, so that the resulting drink be of uniform consistency. When the mixed fluid is carbonated water, it is essential that the carbonated water and the syrup, and, if desired, the flavor additive, be mixed in such a way that the carbon dioxide does not leak excessively and produce an undesirable foam. A major problem encountered with multiple flavored nozzles is the leftover syrup. It is very difficult to completely remove the residual syrup from a previously dispensed beverage to avoid the remainder in a drink with a different, subsequent flavor. This remnant causes problems with the taste, color, and smell of the drinks distributed. Even small amounts of the remaining syrup which cause only problems with odor and taste have a significant effect on the color of the clear drinks, which is undesirable. Another problem that must be solved is the proper mixing of the mixing fluid, such as simple or carbonated water, and the syrup, and, if desired, the flavor additives. To ensure proper mixing, it is necessary to expose the maximum surface area of the syrup, and, if desired, the flavor additive, to the mixing fluid. If mixing is to occur outside the nozzle, it is important that the moment of the syrup stream, and, if desired, the flavor additive stream, be substantially equal to, or less than, the current of the mixing fluid. Excessive foam formation is another problem when the mixing fluid is carbonated water. To prevent excessive foaming, carbonated water, which is introduced into the nozzle at high pressure, should be gently reduced to atmospheric pressure so that a minimum of carbon dioxide will escape from the solution. At high flow rates, removal of carbon dioxide is particularly problematic. Consequently, when carbonated water releases carbon dioxide both in the nozzle and in the cup, the carbon dioxide released escaping from the solution causes excessive foam formation of the distributed beverage. Excessive foam formation creates a poor product because the beverage is generally "flat". Previous attempts to solve the aforementioned problems with multi-flavor nozzles have not been successful. In many cases, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,928,854, which was issued on May 29, 1990, to McCann, the syrup is supplied at the outlet of the nozzle through a separate tubular conduit for each flavor. The syrup flows through a plurality of separate conduits to a discharge opening in a water channel for delivery to the exit end of the nozzle. The total surface area of the syrup presented for contact with the mixing fluid is relatively small; therefore, proper mixing is difficult. The configuration also makes it difficult to eliminate the residues of the syrup.
Brief Description of the Invention According to the present invention, the dispensing nozzle of the beverage is used with a counter or similar beverage dispenser. During activation of a standard dispensing valve, a mixing fluid, such as simple or carbonated water, is supplied to the discharge end of the beverage dispensing nozzle through an annular channel. Accordingly, the dispensing nozzle of the beverage discharges the mixing fluid in a circular path around its outlet end. A selected syrup for drinking is supplied to the discharge end of the dispensing nozzle of the beverage through a concentric annular channel. In preferred embodiments, the annular channel may be partially closed at its discharge end to restrict the flow of beverage syrup, whereby a suitable moment is ensured to propel the syrup of the beverage from the beverage dispensing nozzle in intimate contact with the mixing fluid. In addition, if desired, an additive for the selected flavor is supplied to the discharge end of the dispenser nozzle of the beverage through a duct of the flavor additive. The mixing fluid is supplied to the exit end of the nozzle through an annular channel which is concentric with the annular channels of the syrup for drinking. The mixing fluid surrounds a syrup stream of the exit beverage and the flavor additive stream and is directed inward for maximum surface contact with the beverage syrup and flavor additive. In its travel from the nozzle to a container in the preferred embodiments, the mixing fluid travels at a time substantially equal to or higher than the syrup of the beverage and the flavor additive to ensure proper mixing. In a second embodiment, a second stream of the mixing fluid exits through a central conduit in the beverage dispensing nozzle. This is particularly the case with nozzles for a single flavor and for large volume nozzles. The most significant feature of the invention is the distribution of the syrup for the beverage in a circumferential configuration around the outlet end of the beverage dispensing nozzle, thus having a larger surface area for contact with the mixing fluid. In the preferred embodiments, the moment of the syrup when it leaves the nozzle, is controlled so that it is substantially equal to, or less than, the moment of the mixing fluid to ensure intimate mixing, while preventing the carbon dioxide escapes when the mixing fluid is carbonated water. In a preferred embodiment, the nozzle for dispensing the beverage includes a first annulus, a second annulus, and a third annulus forming three annular beverage syrup channels in the company of an internal housing. In addition, the third annulus or the innermost annulus includes an additive conduit for the taste through which the inclusion of a flavor additive in the distributed beverage is allowed. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a beverage dispensing nozzle that distributes a beverage syrup and the mixing fluid at a high volume flow to form a distributed drinking beverage. It is another object of the present invention to provide a nozzle for the distribution of the beverage which eliminates the stratification between the syrup for the beverage and the mixing fluid. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dispensing nozzle of a beverage that is capable of distributing multiple flavors while preventing the formation of residues between syrups with different flavors. It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a nozzle for the distribution of a beverage with a duct of the flavor additive therebetween to allow inclusion of a flavor additive in the dispensed beverage. Still other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art in the light of the following.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Modality As illustrated in Figures 1-9, a nozzle 10 for dispensing the beverage includes a lid member 11, an O-ring 12, gaskets or gaskets 13-15, an inner housing 16, a first external annulus or annulus 17, a second intermediate annulus or annulus 18, a third annular or internal annulus 19, and an outer housing 20. The inner housing 16 defines a chamber 40 and includes a opening 44 in chamber 40. Internal housing 16 includes cavities 41-44 communicating with chamber 40 through conduits 45-47, respectively (with reference to Figures 1 and 2). Even when the conduits 45-47 are connected to the separate cavities 41-43, they are spaced apart concentrically; in particular, the conduit 47 is the innermost, the conduit 45 is the intermediate conduit, and the conduit 46 is the outermost one (with reference to Figures 7-9). The conduits 45-47 are spaced apart concentrically so that the syrup of the beverage can be introduced into the chamber 40 at three separate points. The inner wall of the inner housing 16 defining the chamber 40 includes ladder rungs 48-51. The first external annulus or annulus 17 includes an upper element 52 and a discharge element 53 (with reference to Figures 1 and 2). The first outer ring or annulus 17 is equipped within the chamber 40 of the inner housing 16 such that a portion of the upper element 52 engages with the step of the ladder 49. This portion of the upper element 52 can be equipped or adjusted under pressure with the rung of the ladder 49 or, as in this first embodiment, an adhesive can be used to secure this portion of the upper element 52 with the rung of the ladder 49. The first external annulus or annulus 17 and the inner wall of the inner housing 16 defining the rung of the ladder 48 form an annular channel 54 which connects with the conduit 46 of the internal housing 16. The annular channel 54 ensures that a large volume of the syrup of the beverage flows uniformly around the first annulus or external annulus. during discharge (with reference to Figures 7-9). The discharge element 53 includes the discharge channels 55 for assisting the annular channel 54 in discharging the syrup from the beverage because the discharge element 53 is dimensioned to substantially lie within the lower portion of the interior wall for the internal housing 16 (with reference to Figure 6). The discharge element 53 operates to discharge the beverage syrup in a restricted annular flow to ensure even distribution of the syrup of the beverage when it leaves the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage, whereby an area is provided maximum surface for contact with the mixing fluid that also leaves the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage. The second annulus or intermediate annulus 18 includes an upper element 56 and a discharge element 57 (with reference to Figures 1 and 2). The second annulus or intermediate annulus 18 is fitted within the first annular annulus or annulus 17 in such a way that a portion of the upper member 56 engages with the rung of the ladder 50. This portion of the upper member 56 can be press fit with the step of the ladder 50 or, as in this first embodiment, an adhesive can be used to secure this portion of the upper element 56 with the rung of the ladder 50. The first external annulus or annulus 17 and the inner wall of the first annulus or annulus 17 form an annular channel 58 that connects to the conduit 45 of the inner housing 16. The annular channel 58 ensures that a large volume of the beverage syrup flows uniformly around the • second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18 during discharge (with reference to Figures 7-9). The discharge element 57 includes the discharge channels 59 to assist the annular channel 58 in discharging the syrup from the beverage because the discharge element 57 is sized to substantially lie within the lower portion of the interior wall for the first annular or external annulus 17. The discharge element 57 operates to discharge the syrup of the drink in a restricted annular flow to ensure even distribution of the syrup of the beverage when it leaves the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage, whereby a maximum surface contact area is provided for contact with the mixing fluid which also leaves the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage. The third annulus or internal annulus 19 includes a securing element 60, an intermediate element 61 and a discharge element 62 (with reference to Figures 1 and 2). The third annulus or internal annulus 19 'is equipped within the second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18 in such a way that the securing element 60 protrudes through the opening 44 of the inner housing and engages the inner wall of the internal housing 16 which defines the opening 44. The securing element 60 can be press fit with the inner wall of the internal housing 16 defining the opening 44 or, as in this first embodiment, an adhesive can be used to secure the securing element 60 with the interior wall of the inner housing 16 defining the opening 44. The third internal annulus or annulus 19 and the rung of the ladder 51 and the inner wall of the second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18 form an annular channel 64 which is connected to the conduit 47 of the internal housing 16. The annular channel 64 ensures that a large volume of the beverage syrup flows uniformly around the third annulus or internal annulus 19 during discharge (with reference Figure 7-9). The discharge element 62 includes the discharge elements 63 to assist the annular channel 64 in discharging the syrup from the beverage because the discharge element 62 is sized to substantially lie within the lower portion of the interior wall for the discharge. second annulus or intermediate annulus 18. The discharge element 62 operates to discharge the beverage syrup in a restricted annular flow to ensure even distribution of the syrup of the beverage when it leaves the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage , whereby a maximum surface area is provided for contact with the mixing fluid that also leaves the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage. Although the preferred embodiment describes the corners 17-19, a person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that alternative forms, such as a helix or polygon, can be used. The lid element 11 includes the syrup inlet openings 21-23 communicating with an outlet opening 24-26 of the respective beverage syrup, by means of a respective connecting conduit 37-39 through the lid element 11 (with reference to Figures 1,2, and 7-9). The lid member 11 includes the protrusion 35 to assist in securing the inner housing 16 to the lid member 11. The outlet openings 24-26 of the beverage syrup are press fit into a respective housing cavity 41-42. 16 to secure the inner housing 16 to the lid element 11. The gaskets 13-15 are fitted around an outlet opening 24-26 of the respective beverage syrup, to provide a seal against the fluid and to assist in the securing the inner housing 16 to the lid element 11. Further, the securing element 60 of the third internal annulus or annulus 19 which extends through the opening 44 of the internal housing 16 is snapped around the protrusion 35 of the housing element. lid 11 to assist in securing the inner housing 16 to the lid element 11. With the inner housing 16 secured to the lid element 11, a syrup route of the beverage involving the entry opening 21 of beverage syrup; the conduit 37; the outlet opening 24 of the beverage syrup; the cavity 41; the conduit 45; and the annular channel 58, which includes the discharge channels 59, is created. A route for the syrup of the beverage that involves the entry opening 22 for the syrup of the beverage; the conduit 38; the outlet opening 25 for the syrup of the beverage; the cavity 42; the conduit 46; the annular channel 54, which includes the discharge channels 55; and one that involves the entry opening 23 for the syrup of the beverage; the conduit 39; the outlet opening 26 for the syrup of the beverage; the cavity 43; the conduit 47; the annular channel 64, which includes the discharge channels 63; they are also created. The lid member 11 includes an inlet opening 27 for the mixing fluid communicating with the outlet channels 66-71 for the mixing fluid via a connecting conduit 28 through the lid member 11 (with reference to Figures 1-3 and 6). The outlet channels 66-71 for the mixing fluid in this first embodiment are evenly spaced within the lid member 11 and communicate with an annular cavity 36 defined by a portion of the lid member 11 to supply the mixing fluid throughout. of the complete circumference of the annular cavity 36. In this first embodiment, the preferred mixing fluid is carbonated water, which forms a carbonated beverage when combined with the syrup of the beverage. However, a person with ordinary skill in the art could recognize that other mixing fluids, such as plain water, could be used. In addition, although the preferred embodiment describes the formation of a beverage from a beverage syrup and a mixing fluid, such as carbonated water or plain water, a person skilled in the art will recognize that a mixing fluid, such as simple or carbonated water, can be distributed individually from a beverage route as described above instead of a beverage syrup. The lid member 20 includes bent tips 29 and 30 that allow the lid element 11 to be connected to a standard dispensing valve using well-known and suitable means. Each of the inlet openings 21-23 of the beverage syrup receives a syrup conduit of the beverage for delivery to the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage, with a syrup of the beverage. Similarly, the inlet opening 27 for the mixing fluid receives a conduit for the mixing fluid, to supply the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage with a mixing fluid. A clamp or securing clip attached to each of the projections 31-33, which uses a screw or other suitable means, keeps the syrup conduits of the beverage coupled with an inlet opening 21-23 of the syrup of the beverage, respectively , and the conduit for the mixing fluid coupled with the inlet opening 27 for the mixing fluid. The lid element 11 includes a notch 34 for receiving the ring at 0 12 therein. The outer housing 20 is snapped onto the lid member 11, including the O-ring 12 which provides a seal for the fluid and assists in securing the inner housing 16 to the lid element 11. The outer housing 20 includes the projections 74 and 75 and lugs 76 and 77 for mounting the external housing 20 to a standard distribution valve in a well-known manner. The outer housing 20 further includes a cover portion 73 extending inwardly at its outlet end. The inner wall of the outer housing 20 in combination with the portion of the lid member 11 defining the annular cavity 36 and the outer wall of the inner housing, define an annular channel 72. With the outer housing 20 secured to the lid member 11, an Mixing fluid path involving the inlet opening 27 for the mixing fluid, the duct 28, the outlet channels 66-71 for the mixing fluid, and the annular channel 72, is created. Although the preferred embodiment contemplates the distribution of a mixing fluid, such as simple or carbonated water, in combination with a beverage syrup, a person of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that the mixing fluid may be separately distributed to provide the mixing fluid by itself. In operation, the mixing fluid is introduced into the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage through the inlet opening 27 for the mixing fluid and travels through the conduit 28 to the outlet channels 66-71 for the mixing fluid, for delivery to the annular cavity 36 (with reference to Figures 7-9). The annular cavity 36 receives a large volume of the mixing fluid to ensure that the annular channel 72 remains filled with respect to uniform flow around the annular channel 72 when the mixing fluid flows down through the annular channel 72 to the discharge end of the annular channel 72. In the preferred embodiments, the discharge end of the annular channel 72 can be partially closed to increase the moment of the mixing fluid leaving the annular channel 72 to maintain a uniform distribution of the mixing fluid exiting around the complete circumference of the annular channel 72. The edge portion 73 extending inwardly of the outer housing 20 directs the mixing fluid inward toward a syrup stream of the beverage exiting from one of the discharge elements 53, 57, and 62. The inward direction of the mixing fluid provides intimate mixing as well as a means for washing the discharge end of the channel annular 72 to prevent the formation of syrup residues. The inlet openings 21-23 of the beverage syrup each receive a different flavor of the beverage syrup, which is supplied through a conduit by a source of the beverage syrup (not shown). Each syrup of the beverage travels through its particular flow path for discharge from nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage as previously described (with reference to Figures 7-9). Illustratively, a syrup of the beverage supplied to the inlet opening 21 of the beverage syrup flows through the conduit 37, the outlet opening 24 of the beverage syrup, the cavity 41, the conduit 45, the annular channel 58, and the discharge channels 59 prior to discharge from nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage. The annular channels 54, 58, and 64 provide a large volume of the beverage syrup around each of the first or external, second or intermediate, and third or internal, respective, beads for discharge through one of the elements discharge 53, 57, and 62. The discharge elements 53, 57, and 62 restrict the flow of the syrup of the beverage to ensure even distribution of the syrup of the beverage when it leaves the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage. beverage, thus ensuring a maximum surface area for contact with the mixing fluid exiting from the annular channel 72. Although only one syrup of the beverage is typically distributed at the same time, it should be understood that more than one syrup of the beverage may be discharged from the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage at a time, to provide a mixture of the flavors. An important feature of the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage is the annular discharge of a syrup from the beverage, whereby the annularly discharged mixing fluid makes contact with the syrup of the beverage in the intermediate route of the air below the dispensing nozzle 10. The shape of the annular discharge of the beverage syrup and the mixing fluid significantly increase the surface contact area between the two streams, leading to more efficient mixing. further, mixing the syrup of the beverage and the mixing fluid out of the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage, eliminates the sanitary considerations that occur with an interior mixing chamber to the nozzle; especially, the non-sanitary accumulation of the bacteria inside the mixing chamber, which is aggravated due to the stickiness of the syrup of the beverage. Although three separate beverage syrup sources, with three bulbs, have been described, a person with ordinary skill in the art will recognize that any number of beverage syrup sources and bulbs could be provided, including a source of the beverage syrup. unique and the annulo. In addition, the single stream of the mixing fluid exiting from the annular channel 72 can be separated into two or more streams. As illustrated in Figures 10-12, a second embodiment of the nozzle 100 for distribution of the beverage is virtually identical in its configuration and operation to the first embodiment of the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage. Consequently, the components of the nozzle 100 for the distribution of the drink of configuration and operation similar to the components of the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage, have been referred to with identical numbers. The nozzle 100 for dispensing the beverage is configured and operates as the nozzle 10 for dispensing the beverage, except that the nozzle 100 for dispensing the beverage includes a conduit 101 coupled to the conduit 28 for communicating the mixing fluid in a central duct 102 of the third annular or internal annulus 19. In addition, the second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18 includes an outlet 103 for the discharge of the internal mixing fluid into a syrup stream of the discharged beverage. The conduit 28 therefore not only supplies the mixing fluid to the outlet channels 66-71 for the mixing fluid but also to the conduit 101 for delivery to the central conduit 102. The central conduit 102 supplies the mixing fluid to the through the center of the nozzle 100 for the distribution of the beverage, wherein it exits into the stream of the syrup of the beverage to improve the mixing of the mixing fluid and the syrup of the beverage. The nozzle 100 for dispensing the beverage is particularly desirable for use in single-tasting beverages and for use with large volume beverage dispensing nozzles. A diffuser 104 may be placed within the conduit 101 to direct the mixing fluid on the sides of the central conduit 102 to prevent a single stream from leaving the outlet 103, whereby the surface contact between the mixing fluid and the liquid is improved. Syrup of the drink. As illustrated in Figure 13, a third embodiment of the nozzle 200 for distribution of the beverage is virtually identical in its configuration and operation to the first embodiment of the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage. Accordingly, the components for the nozzle 200 for the distribution of the beverage of configuration and operation similar to the components of the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage have been referred to with identical numbers. The nozzle 200 for the distribution of the beverage is configured and operates as the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage, except that, in the nozzle 200 for the distribution of the beverage, the exit end of the first external annulus or annulus 17 includes a conical cut portion 201, the exit end of the second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18 includes a conical cut portion 202, and the exit end of the third annular annulus or inner annulus 19 includes a conical cut portion 203. When the first annular annulus or annular 17, the second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18, and the third annular annulus or annulus 19 are secured within the internal housing 16, the conical cutting portions 201, 202, and 203 define an outlet 204 of the syrup of the beverage, conical, inverse, which helps to prevent waste from the syrup of the beverage by facilitating the formation of a lower pressure region at the outlet 204 of the beverage syrup. During the distribution of a beverage syrup and a mixing fluid to form a beverage, the low pressure region allows the flow of the mixing fluid over the outlet 204 of the beverage syrup, by washing the outlet 204 of the beverage syrup to remove any syrup from the residual beverage. As illustrated in Figure 14, a fourth embodiment of the nozzle 300 for dispensing the beverage is virtually identical in its configuration and operation to the first embodiment of the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage. Accordingly, the components for the nozzle 300 for the distribution of the beverage of configuration and operation similar to the components of the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage have been referred to with identical numbers. The nozzle 300 for the distribution of the beverage is configured and operates as the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage, except that, in the nozzle 300 for the distribution of the beverage, the exit end of the first external annulus or annulus 17 includes a concave cutting portion 301, the exit end of the second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18 includes a concave cutting portion 302, and the exit end of the third annular annulus or inner annulus 19 includes a concave cutting portion 303. When the first annular annulus or annular 17, the second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18, and the third annular annulus or annulus 19 are secured within the internal housing 16, the concave cutting portions 301, 302, and 303 define an outlet 304 of the nozzle for the syrup of the beverage which helps prevent the formation of beverage syrup residues by facilitating the formation of a region of low pressure at outlet 304 of the nozzle for the beverage syrup. During the distribution of a syrup of the beverage and a mixing fluid to form a beverage, the low pressure region allows the flow of the mixing fluid over the outlet 304 of the nozzle for the syrup of the beverage, whereby it is washed the outlet 304 of the nozzle for the syrup of the beverage to remove any residue of the syrup from the beverage. As illustrated in Figure 15, a fifth embodiment of the nozzle 400 for the distribution of the beverage is virtually identical in configuration and operation to the first embodiment of the nozzle 10 for distribution of the beverage. Consequently, the components for the nozzle 400 for the distribution of the drink of configuration and operation similar to the components of the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the drink, have been referred to with identical numbers. The nozzle 400 for the distribution of the beverage is configured and operates as the nozzle 10 for the distribution of the beverage, except that, in the nozzle 400 for the distribution of the beverage, the exit end of the first external annulus or annulus 17 includes a convex protrusion 402, the exit end of the second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18 includes a convex protrusion 403, and the exit end of the third annulus or inner annulus 19 includes a convex protrusion 404. When the first annulus or external annulus 17, the second annulus or the intermediate annulus 18, and the third annular annulus or annulus 19 are secured to the inner housing 16, the convex protuberances 402, 403, and 404 define an outlet 405 of the syrup nozzle of the convex beverage, which helps to prevent beverage syrup residues because the rounded convex shape allows the syrup of the distributed beverage to flow to the lower portion of outlet 405 of the nozzle of the beverage.
