Beholderdelen atskilles fra tilberéderdélen The dispensing device according to the invention can be said to be divided into two departments, namely: a container part including the container 1 and the heating device and a space connected to the container part where the preparation of the drink takes place. The container part is separated from the preparation part

ved en langsgående vegg 12 samt to sidevegger 13 og 14. I det viste utf orélseseksempei er: sideveggen 14 dels begrénsni'rigs-flate for berederdeleri og dels ytre begrensning for* et frem-trulket parti av beholderdelen. Parallelt méd. beholderdelens vertikale langsgående vegg 12 er anordnet én holder 15, soiii by a longitudinal wall 12 as well as two side walls 13 and 14. In the embodiment shown: the side wall 14 is partly a limiting surface for the preparation part and partly an outer limitation for* an extended part of the container part. Parallell with. the container part's vertical longitudinal wall 12 is arranged one holder 15, soiii

av utseende likner en horisontalt plassert stige med tverrgående trinn 16. Holderen 15 er bestemt til lostagbart å bære looks like a horizontally positioned ladder with transverse steps 16. The holder 15 is designed to be removable to carry

et antall utporsjoneringsanordninger 17, som er forsynt med en utmatningsåpning 18 beliggende i vesentlig samme hoyde som tappekranens 9 munning 10. a number of dispensing devices 17, which are provided with a dispensing opening 18 situated at substantially the same height as the mouth 10 of the faucet 9.

Ved utf5relseseksemplet ifolge fig. 1-5 er- utporsjoneringsanord-ningens 17 ovre del fast forbundet med en forpakningseske 19 inneholdende et pulverformig materiale f«eks. en ekstrakt e.l. for tilberedning av forskjellige slags drikker så som kaffe, In the design example according to fig. 1-5, the upper part of the portioning device 17 is firmly connected to a packaging box 19 containing a powdery material, e.g. an extract etc. for the preparation of various types of drinks such as coffee,

te, kakao o.s.v. Utporsjoneringsanordningen 17 utgjor således forpakningens bunndel. tea, cocoa, etc. The portioning device 17 thus forms the bottom part of the package.

For å sikre eskene 19 mot tipping omkring holderen 15 er utskjenkningsanordningen i sin ovre del forsynt med et lokk 20, som er svingbart forbundet med beholderens bakre sidevegg 3 To secure the boxes 19 against tipping around the holder 15, the dispensing device is provided in its upper part with a lid 20, which is pivotally connected to the container's rear side wall 3

ved hjelp av hengsler 21. Lokket 20 er utformet til å strekke seg over såvel beholderdelen som berederde^en samt er ved sin fra hengslekanten vendte forkant forsynt med et i vinkel ned-adbukket parti 22, som er bestemt å gripe over eskenes 19 ovre f or sidekant. by means of hinges 21. The lid 20 is designed to extend over both the container part and the prepared one, and is provided at its front edge facing away from the hinge edge with an angle-bent down part 22, which is intended to grip over the top of the box 19 or side edge.

Utporsjoneringsanordningen 17 består av et beholderliknende The portioning device 17 consists of a container-like

hus 23, som nedentil er forsynt med en bunn 24 og ovenfor denne med to åpninger 18 og 25 ved to rett overfor hverandre beliggende veggpartier av huset 23* Et som utmatningsanordning tjenende plant stempel 26 er anordnet forskyvbart parallelt med bunnplaten 24» hvilket stempel med sine to ender rager ut gjennom åpningene 25 og 18. Åpningen 25 er ubetydelig storre enn stemplets 26 tverrsnitt slik at stemplet lett kan skyves, inn og ut. Ved den ende av stemplet som rager ut gjennom åpningen 25 er festet en påvirkningsplate 27. Stemplet 26 er vesentlig like stort som bunnplaten 24 når påvirkningsplaten 27 er bragt til anlegg mot husets 23 fremre vegg. Den del av stemplet 26 som er beliggende rett overfor åpningen 18 er forsynt med et forlenget parti 28 bestående av en ramme, hvis i stemplets forlengelse anordnede rammesider 29 er beliggende i plan med stemplets sidekanter og utformet med en hbyde sOm vesentlig svarer til utmatningsåpningens 18 hoyde. Det med housing 23, which is provided below with a bottom 24 and above this with two openings 18 and 25 at two directly opposite wall sections of the housing 23* A flat piston 26 serving as a discharge device is arranged displaceably parallel to the bottom plate 24", which piston with its two ends protrude through the openings 25 and 18. The opening 25 is slightly larger than the cross-section of the piston 26 so that the piston can easily be pushed in and out. An impact plate 27 is attached to the end of the piston which protrudes through the opening 25. The piston 26 is substantially the same size as the bottom plate 24 when the impact plate 27 is brought into contact with the front wall of the housing 23. The part of the piston 26 which is located directly opposite the opening 18 is provided with an extended part 28 consisting of a frame, if the frame sides 29 arranged in the extension of the piston are located flush with the side edges of the piston and designed with a height that substantially corresponds to the height of the discharge opening 18 . That with

stempelenden 33 parallelle rammeendestykke 30 er således dimen-sjonert og anordnet.at det i stemplets utskjovne stilling over-dekker åpningen 18, hvorved hele forpakningen er effektivt til-lukket. Dette rammeendestykke 30 holdes til tettende anlegg mot åpningen.18 ved hjelp av et elastisk tettende organ 31, f.eks; et gummibånd, som er. lagt omkring huset 23 og utsiden av ramme- the piston end 33 parallel frame end piece 30 is dimensioned and arranged in such a way that in the extended position of the piston it covers the opening 18, whereby the entire package is effectively closed. This frame end piece 30 is held in tight contact with the opening 18 by means of an elastic sealing member 31, e.g.; a rubber band, which is laid around the housing 23 and the outside of the frame

endestykket 30. Mot stemplets 26 overside anliggér et avskrap-ningselement 32, som forhindrer at pulverfonnig materiale ved stemplets returbevegelse folger med ut gjennom åpningen 25. Stemplets utskyvningsende 33 er utformet med en i en spiss utlopende nedre kant, som tjener som avskraper mot bunnplaten 24> Stemplet er dessuten på undersiden forsynt med i forhold til dets forskyvningsretning skrå spor 34, i hvilke eventuelt nedfalt pulver oppfanges og medbringes slik at dette kan fjernes når stemplet inntar en av sine éndestillinger. the end piece 30. Against the upper side of the piston 26 is a scraping element 32, which prevents powder-like material from following through the opening 25 during the piston's return movement. The push-out end 33 of the piston is designed with a pointed lower edge, which serves as a scraper against the bottom plate 24 > The piston is also provided on the underside with inclined grooves 34 in relation to its displacement direction, in which any fallen powder is collected and carried along so that this can be removed when the piston occupies one of its end positions.

Huset 23 bunn 24 er i stemplets 26 forskyvningsretning så meget kortere enn husets innmatningsåpning 35 som svarer til lengden av stemplets forlengede parti 28. Derved fordres der ikke noe ekstra .rom ved stemplets forskyvning ut av utmatningsåpningen 18. Husets 23 innmatningsåpning 35 utformes vesentlig like stor og med samme tverrsnittsform som den ytre begrensning av esken 19* Hensiktsmessig er huset på innsiden nær innmatningsåpningen 35 utformet med en indre fortrinnsvis rundtgående anslagskant 36, som tjener som stotteflate for eskens 19 nedre åpne ende. Porpakningsesken 19 er hensiktsmessig fastklebet til utporsjoneringsanordningen 17. The housing 23 bottom 24 is so much shorter in the displacement direction of the piston 26 than the housing's feed opening 35, which corresponds to the length of the piston's extended part 28. Thereby, no extra space is required when the piston is displaced out of the output opening 18. The housing 23's feed opening 35 is designed to be substantially the same size and with the same cross-sectional shape as the outer limit of the box 19* Appropriately, the housing on the inside near the feed opening 35 is designed with an inner, preferably circumferential stop edge 36, which serves as a support surface for the lower open end of the box 19. The packing box 19 is suitably glued to the portioning device 17.

For å fiksere utporsjoneringsanordningen i sideretning på holderen 15 er husets sidevegger 37 utformet med én forlengelse 38, hvilke forlengelser er bestemt å gripe over holderens In order to fix the portioning device laterally on the holder 15, the housing's side walls 37 are designed with one extension 38, which extensions are intended to grip over the holder's

15 tverrtrinn 16. 15 cross steps 16.

1 fig. 7 og 8 vises en modifisert utforelsesform for forpaknings-esken, hvis ene endeflate består av en langs eskens sidekanter foriSpende kantstrimmel 39 med vesentlig samme bredde som husets 23 anslagskant 36* På kantstrimlen 39 er anbragt et lim og endeflaten er, etter at forpakningen er fylt med et pulverformig gods, forseglbar ved hjelp av en avrivningslapp 40 av et slikt materiale at klebesjiktet etter lappens fjernelse fremdeles er intakt på kantstrimlen 39 og denne kan bringes til vedheftning på nevnte anslagskant 36. 1 fig. 7 and 8 show a modified embodiment of the packaging box, one end surface of which consists of an edge strip 39 extending along the side edges of the box with substantially the same width as the stop edge 36 of the housing 23* An adhesive is placed on the edge strip 39 and the end surface is, after the packaging has been filled with a powdery material, sealable by means of a tear-off patch 40 of such a material that the adhesive layer is still intact on the edge strip 39 after the removal of the patch and this can be brought to adhere to said stop edge 36.

Utskjenkningsanordningen ifolge oppfinnelsen anvendes på folgende måte: En kopp 11 plasseres under den utporsjoneringsanordning som inneholder den ekstrakt e.l. av hvilken en drikk Ønskes. The dispensing device according to the invention is used in the following way: A cup 11 is placed under the portioning device containing the extract or the like. of which a drink is Desired.

Ved å presse inn stemplet 26 utmates en viss mengde pulver, f. eks» svarende til en kopp svak kaffe. Onskes en sterkere kaffe-drikk gjentas denne utmatningsbevegelse for å doble eller tredoble mengden av pulver utmatet til koppen. Deretter plasseres denne under tappekranens 9 munning 10 og en passende mengde varmt vann avtappes. Dermed er drikken ferdig. 1 beholderdelens utstyr inngår hensiktsmessig en termostat for å holde vanntemperaturen på et visst bestemt nivå samt en t6rrkokningsbeskyttelse, hvilke deler imidlertid ikke er vist på tegningene. By pressing in the piston 26, a certain amount of powder is dispensed, e.g. corresponding to a cup of weak coffee. If a stronger coffee drink is desired, this dispensing movement is repeated to double or triple the amount of powder dispensed into the cup. This is then placed under the mouth 10 of the tap 9 and a suitable amount of hot water is drawn off. This completes the drink. 1 the container part's equipment appropriately includes a thermostat to keep the water temperature at a certain level as well as a boil-dry protection, which parts, however, are not shown in the drawings.

Beholderdelen kan ha en annen form enn den på tegningene viste og rommet for tilberedning av.drikken kan disponeres på forskjellige måter. En av utporsjoneringsanordningene kan være erstattet av et magasin for plast- eller pappbegre. Det kan enn videre vare hensiktsmessig å forsyne stemplet med en gradering, hvorved det er mulig ved en andre innskyvning av stemplet å mate ut eksakt den onskede mengde pulver, og en sådan gradering kan da f.eks. svare til en svak, medium eller sterk drikk. The container part can have a different shape than that shown in the drawings and the room for preparing the drink can be arranged in different ways. One of the dispensing devices can be replaced by a magazine for plastic or cardboard cups. It may also be appropriate to provide the piston with a graduation, whereby it is possible by a second insertion of the piston to feed out exactly the desired amount of powder, and such a graduation can then e.g. respond to a weak, medium or strong drink.
