  • the invention also relates to a drink dispenser and a container for use in such a dispenser.
  • a drink dispenser assembly is disclosed in NL-A 1019054 in the name of the Applicant.
  • a container containing carbonated drink, in particular beer is described, wherein the beer is packed in a flexible bag, which bag is accommodated in a rigid plastic container.
  • the container is placed in the dispenser, which is provided with a compressor that is connected to the container via a pressure line to build up pressure in the space between the flexible bag and the rigid outer container.
  • the use of a compressor in the dispenser makes this relatively complex, whilst the compressor can give rise to vibration and an increased noise level.
  • pressure medium such as CO 2
  • containers such as metal containers containing whipped cream or cans of beer
  • high pressure such as 50 bar and higher.
  • the volume of the CO 2 cartridge is relatively small and a large proportion of the CO 2 will escape on connection if the connection is not made quickly and in a sealed manner.
  • the seals for the high-pressure CO 2 cartridges and the pressure regulation thereof are relatively complex. Furthermore, with the known devices there is no facility for the user to set a regulating pressure.
  • a beer keg in which a pressure medium chamber is formed by a cavity in the keg containing gaseous CO 2 therein is also known from Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE 201 15 158 U1.
  • a separate dispensing head that contains a pressure regulator can be connected by the user to a beer dispensing valve and to a CO 2 feed valve of the beer keg. When the dispensing head is connected the pressure medium chamber is connected to the volume of beer in the keg.
  • the pressure regulating element is not indicated in more detail.
  • One aim of the invention is, therefore to provide an assembly of a drink dispenser and a container containing carbonated drink, for which no external pressure means such as a compressor are needed.
  • a further aim of the invention is to provide a drink dispenser assembly with which the chamber with carbonated drink therein can be connected in a simple, rapid and reliable manner to a pressure medium reservoir by inexperienced users.
  • a further aim of the invention is to provide a drink dispenser assembly where commercially available reservoirs containing liquid CO 2 under high pressure can be connected in a simple manner and with relatively low losses.
  • the container of the assembly according to the invention is provided with a pressure medium feed opening and with a reservoir with a pressure medium therein, which reservoir is provided with a pressure line coupling, wherein the lid is provided with a pressure line with, at one end, a reservoir connector for connecting to the pressure line coupling of the reservoir and with, at the other end, a pressure medium feed connector for connecting to the pressure medium feed opening of the container, wherein the reservoir connector and the pressure medium feed connector are brought into fluid-tight engagement with the pressure line coupling and the pressure medium feed opening, respectively, by closing the lid.
  • the contents of the container are connected to the pressure medium reservoir when the lid is closed, without further intermediate operations on the part of the user.
  • the position of the container relative to the lid is accurately defined, for example, by the use of the positioning cheeks on the container as described in NL-A 1019526 in the name of the Applicant, which application is incorporated herein by reference. Closing the lid produces the connection between the pressure medium reservoir and the container without significant loss of pressure medium.
  • the lid can be provided with a double closure as described in NL-A 1019054 in the name of the Applicant, which publication is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the pressure line is connected to a pressure regulator for setting a pressure drop between the reservoir connector and the pressure medium feed connector of the pressure line.
  • the dispenser can be set by the user in such a way that a desired dispensing pressure, for example for tapping beer under high pressure, with a large head, or under low pressure, with less frothing, can be set.
  • the container is provided with an accommodating cavity with a replaceable container containing CO 2 under a pressure higher than 1 bar therein.
  • the container can contain on (sic) compressed CO 2 or CO 2 adsorbed on carbon under a pressure of approximately 10 bar, as described in NL-A 1012922, or can contain liquid CO 2 under a pressure of more than 50 bar.
  • the pressure line is in communication with an expansion chamber located between the reservoir connector and the pressure medium feed connector of the pressure line to reduce the pressure of the CO 2 from the reservoir.
  • the pressure medium feed connection from the pressure Ime to the chamber containing the carbonated drink can be a relatively low pressure connection, the sealing of which can be implemented relatively easily.
  • a pressure regulator incorporated between the expansion chamber and the pressure medium feed connector can likewise be of simple and consequently inexpensive construction.
  • the lid is closed, the CO 2 issuing from the reservoir will move to the expansion chamber, so that loss of pressure medium as a result of leakage into the surroundings is reduced.
  • the reservoir containing CO 2 can be connected to the container such that it can be removed and can comprise an aerosol container or a metal CO 2 cartridge containing liquid CO 2 accommodated in a cavity in the top wall, bottom wall or side wall of the container.
  • FIG. 1 shows a diagrammatic side view of an assembly according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 shows an assembly where the lid of the drink dispenser is provided with an expansion chamber
  • FIG. 3 shows a detail, on an enlarged scale, of a connection between reservoir connector and pressure line coupling.
  • FIG. 1 shows an assembly 1 of a drink dispenser 2 and a container 3 containing carbonated drink.
  • the drink dispenser 2 has a chamber 4 , for accommodating the container through a top surface, and a lid 5 that is connected to the wall of the chamber at hinge 6 such that it can hinge.
  • the container 3 is provided with a dispensing opening 8 that is closed off by a spring-loaded valve 9 .
  • a dispensing line 10 which pushes in the spring valve 9 , is connected to a tap head 13 by means of which a shut-off valve, which is not shown in more detail, at the end of the dispensing line 10 can be opened and closed via a tap handle 14 .
  • the chamber 4 can be cooled by a Peltier cooling element.
  • An accommodating cavity 16 has been made in the container 3 , in which cavity a CO 2 cartridge 17 containing liquid CO 2 is accommodated.
  • This can be connected to the accommodating cavity in the fill line, after or before filling the container 3 with carbonated drink, such as beer, in a manner such that it cannot be released by the user.
  • the CO 2 cartridge is provided with a pressure line coupling in the form of a slim connecting nipple 20 .
  • the container 3 is provided with a pressure medium feed opening 21 that can be closed off by a spring-loaded ball valve or by a membrane that can be penetrated.
  • a pressure line 22 with a reservoir connector 23 for engaging in a gas-tight manner on the nipple 20 of the CO 2 cartridge 17 is accommodated in the lid 5 .
  • the pressure line is provided with a pressure medium feed connector 24 , for example in the form of a simple gland and opening in the wall of the container 3 .
  • a pressure regulator 5 (sic) is incorporated in the pressure line 5 (sic) so that the reduction in pressure between the CO 2 cartridge 17 and the interior of the container 3 can be set by a user in order to obtain the desired tapping characteristics in the case of beer.
