Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for dispensing a fluid, which device comprises:
  • a carrier for a cartridge with pressurized gas which cartridge has a seal which can be broken by means of first operating means which can be operated manually from the outside, and the carrier comprises breaking means for breaking the seal such that gas is generated by the cartridge;
  • pressure reducing means which are coupled to the carrier and connect to the breaking means for receiving pressurized gas, and which generate received gas under reduced pressure to the space inside the container for charging the fluid present therein with gas under a certain overpressure;
  • a dip tube which extends in the container from the bottom zone thereof to the inlet of a first valve, the outlet of which debouches on the top side of the container;
  • a dispensing conduit which is present on the top side of the container and the inlet of which is connected to the outlet of the first valve and the outlet of which protrudes outside the container for the purpose of dispensing fluid;
  • second operating means which can be operated manually from the outside, for displacing the valve body of the first valve, whereby this first valve is opened, this such that, due to the overpressure of the gas in the container, fluid is pressed via the dip tube, the opened first valve and the dispensing conduit to the outlet of the dispensing conduit, and is there dispensed,
  • breaking means comprise a hollow pin for perforating the seal during an axial displacement of the cartridge relative to the breaking means as a result of operating the first operating means
  • a first transmission converts a displacement of the first operating means from the rest position to the operative position into said axial displacement of the cartridge relative to the hollow pin.
  • Such a device is known in diverse embodiments.
  • DE-U-20 002 335 describes a device for dispensing drink from containers with a volume of for instance two litres under the influence of a propellant.
  • the container is provided with a controllable valve with two positions. In the opened position of the valve drink is dispensed from the container while gaseous propellant is simultaneously supplied. Due to the addition of introducing the propellant into the container simultaneously with dispensing of drink from the container, it is possible to opt for a relatively low gas pressure in the container and it is not necessary to already introduce the whole desired supply of propellant during filling of the drink container.
  • the structure of the valve makes it possible, when the valve is activated, for the gaseous propellant to flow into the container on the outside around the elongate valve body, while the drink simultaneously flows outward through a continuous hole in the elongate valve body.
  • EP-A-1 281 635 relates to a further development of the principle according to DE-U-2 002 335, with the object of making the principle established therein suitable for spraying fluid products with a higher viscosity or for simultaneous spraying of two different fluids.
  • the most important modification in the elongate valve body is the arrangement of a cylindrical channel for the supply of propellant and the discharge of the second fluid product to be sprayed. Even with this modification, the applied valve has only two positions.
  • third operating means which can be manually operated from outside are present for displacing the valve body of a second valve connected between the outlet of the pressure reducing means and the container for allowing passage of gas under reduced pressure only in the opened position;
  • the second operating means comprise an operating handle which is coupled operatively to a second transmission which converts a pivoting movement of the operating handle into an axial movement of the valve body relative to the valve sleeve, this second transmission defining three stable positions, i.e.
  • the device has the special feature that said valves are integrated into one valve unit with one sleeve and one valve body displaceable therein.
  • the device has the special feature that the second transmission comprises a cam disc which is connected with rotation locking to the operating handle and has three cams corresponding to said positions, and a follower is coupled to the integral valve body.
  • the device has the feature that the pressure reducing means are adjustable by means of pressure adjusting means which can be operated from outside.
  • the pressure of the propellant admitted into the container can hereby be set to a desired value.
  • tapping beer for instance use is made of a value in the order of 0.8-1.0 bar.
  • Other pressures can also be applied for other beverages, also subject to the personal preference of a user.
  • a further variant has the special feature that the container is a bottle with a bottom, a body and a mouth, and the mouth rim bears a head, forming part of which are the carrier with the breaking means, the pressure reducing means, the dispensing conduit, the first operating means, the second operating means and the second transmission, this head being located outside the bottle.
  • the device can also have the special feature that the head is coupled releasably to the mouth rim of the bottle by means of a connection from the group including: a screw connection, a snap connection, a bayonet connection.
  • the device according to the invention has the feature that the bottle consists substantially of PET.
  • a very practical embodiment has the special feature that the breaking means comprise a screw thread which is present on the carrier and, in the manner of a screw and nut, co-acts with a complementary screw thread disposed fixedly relative to the breaking means.
  • the device according to the invention is suitable, or can be made suitable, for storing and dispensing the most diverse fluids.
  • the device can for instance have the special feature that the fluid is a beverage such as fruit juice, mineral water, for instance a carbonated drink such as beer, soft drink, carbonated mineral water or the like.
  • the device comprises valve means controlled by the operating handle which are closed in the position of the operating handle corresponding to the rest position and are opened in the position of the operating handle corresponding to the standby position and the operative position, which valve means connect to the pressure reducing means immediately downstream of the pressure reducing means and in the rest position block passage of gas under reduced pressure to the interior of the container, and in the standby position and the operative position allow passage of gas under reduced pressure to the interior of the container.
  • the device can have the special feature in another embodiment that the first valve ( 11 ) is of the aerosol type.
  • the device can have the further feature that the second valve is of the aerosol type.
  • Valves of the aerosol type have the advantage of being of the generally known and frequently applied type and of being readily available commercially and at low cost.
  • the invention further relates to a container, adapted and evidently intended as component of a device according to the above stated specification, which container, after being filled, is closed sealingly by means of closing means to which guarantee seal means are added which can be broken only in recognisable manner and only in broken state enable opening of the closing means.
  • the invention further relates to a head, adapted and evidently intended as component of a device according to the above stated specification, which head bears the following components and/or to which head the following components are connected: the carrier with breaking means, the pressure reducing means, the dip tube, the valve unit, the dispensing conduit, the first operating means, the second operating means and the second transmission.
