Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing line for a dispensing system to be used in connection with dispensing of a beverage.
  • Said system comprising a beverage container, said container comprising an outlet wherein an extractor tube is arranged, and a dispensing device adapted to connect a pressure medium, such as CO 2 , to the container so that the beverage present in the container is forced out of the container via the extractor tube.
  • a pressure medium such as CO 2
  • the present invention furthermore relates to a system for dispensing of a beverage, an extractor tube as well as use of said dispensing line.
  • Dispensing of beverage such as beer, has become more in focus of the consumer due to the fact that the consumer of the beer has become increasingly more aware of the quality of the beer and tend to chooses the beer label from the view of the final impression, i.e. the dispensed beer.
  • the impression of a newly dispensed beer is influenced by the taste and how it appears to the consumer. Also the taste of the beer may change as the temperature of the beer vary. In view of this, it is of high importance that the dispensing devices serve the purpose of dispensing beer at only the right temperature range and also at the right amount of CO 2 in the beer.
  • the amount of CO 2 in a newly dispensed beer is influenced by the amount of CO 2 applied to the beer at the time of manufacture and under which circumstance the beer has been stored.
  • the amount of CO 2 applied to the beer will migrate out of the beer if the beer is not kept under pressure in the beer keg. Therefore, it is very important that the pressure of the CO 2 besides being sufficient for dispensing the beer also is sufficient to keep pressure balance in the beer keg and thereby keep the beer fizzy and foamy after dispensing.
  • beer dispensing devices have become in the reach of more consumers to have in their homes, in their firms, at the sports facility etc., where no trained personal is operating the dispensing devices.
  • the safety of the user of the dispensing device and the hygiene of the device has likewise become very important.
  • the dispensing line is being reused without being cleaned.
  • the dispensing line may contain old beverage and that for instance bacteria is present. This may provide a bad taste to the beverage or even in some instances health disadvantages for the consumer.
  • An object of the present invention is to wholly or partly overcome the above disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior art. More specifically, it is an object to provide a dispensing line which enables an essentially non-cleaning system.
  • an object of the present invention is to facilitate the work necessary for keeping the dispensing device substantially clean and thereby increase the hygiene of the dispensing device.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an dispensing line which is easy to use in relation to mounting and dismounting of the line to the dispensing system and to the extractor tube as well as to replacing the beverage container when this is empty.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a dispensing line wherein a security arrangement is build-in, which enables that the dispensing line only may be used one time.
  • the dispensing line comprises a connection means for attachment to the extractor tube, said connection means comprises a non-reattachment means, which is adapted to disengage the connection when the dispensing line is detached from the extractor tube, so that the dispensing line cannot be reused.
  • the dispensing line only may be used one time. Furthermore, the cleaning operation of the dispensing device mentioned above is then no longer necessary due to the inventive dispensing line.
  • This dispensing line is used only once, i.e. only to one beverage container, and the beverage is only in contact with the inside of the dispensing line when dispensed from the container to e.g. a drinking glass.
  • the dispensing line may be used as one dispensing line for each beverages without cleaning the dispensing line as well as the dispensing device between the change in beverages.
  • the non-reattachment means of the connection means is adapted to disengage the connection to the extractor tube when the dispensing line is detached from the extractor tube, so that the dispensing line cannot be reused. This ensures that the dispensing line cannot be reused when changing the beverage container and that proper hygiene of the dispensing line as well as the dispensing device and system is maintained.
  • connection means i.e. the non-reattachment means
  • the non-reattachment means may comprise sealing means which is adapted to loose it's sealing property when the connection means is detached from the extractor tube.
  • sealing means (during the detachment) is lost or destroyed, the dispensing line cannot be reused since the connection to the extractor tube will be leaky.
  • the matter is that the connection means not will fit the extractor tube after the detachment wherefore the pressure medium not properly will be connected to the extractor tube, thus, the extractor tube will not function.
  • connection means may be attached to the extractor tube by a snap or click action.
  • a snap or click action is obtained an easy and fast method to attach the dispensing line to the extractor tube.
  • non-reattachment means may comprise means for destroying or damaging the snap or click action when the connection means is detached from the extractor tube. The matter is that after the detachment the snap or click action is lost or destroyed wherefore the connection means not can be attached to the extractor tube again. It will simply not be secured to the extractor tube with the consequence that the dispensing system not will function as the pressure medium not will be led properly to the extractor tube.
  • connection means may comprise a valve which is adapted to connect the pressure medium to the extractor tube.
  • the dispensing line may be made of a flexible material, such as plastic or the like, whereby the dispensing line is easy to handle during mounting and dismounting.
  • connection means may advantageously be made of a material, which is mouldable such as polymer.
  • connection means may be manufactured by, for instance, die casting.
  • the dispensing line may be disposable or an one-way part.
  • the dispensing line may be sterile packed.
  • the dispensing line may comprise an outlet which is the outlet of the device.
  • This outlet is the outlet of the device ensures that the dispensing device has no direct contact with the beverage. This ensures that the dispensing line alone has contact with the beverage and that a cleaning operation is no longer necessary when the dispensing line is changed during the replacement of the beverage container.
  • the outlet may be tapered towards the opening for enhancing the flow properties of the beverage at the outlet.
  • the part of the dispensing line located closest to the outlet may be angled so as to provide a non-dripping outlet.
  • the dispensing line may comprise means which is connected to a handle for opening and closing the dispensing line.
  • the invention further relates to an extractor tube, a dispensing system as well as to an use of the dispensing line as stated in the attached claims.
