Definitions

  • gaseous liquids as for instance beer, carbonated water and the like
  • It is a further object of the invention to provide an automatic apparatus for filling containers with gaseous liquids comprising a stationary body fixed underneath a tank containing the liquid and the gas under pressure to be introduced into a container, said stationary body having a plurality of recesses and bores therein, a cylin drical portion provided with three longitudinal bores each opening into a recess having a diameter greater than the diameter of the bore associated therewith, said recesses being provided in the part of the body abutting against the tank and being in communication with said tank, a socket provided with ducts passing therethrough and provided with piston valves in the form of hollow sliding members projecting from the movable socket in communication with said ducts and arranged to slide in the bores of said stationary body and to extend into said recesses in the stationary body to put into communication the container to be filled and the gas and the liquid contained in the tank.
  • the relative height of said openings causes the operation of the successive steps followed in the filling of the container.
  • Fig. 1 is a top view of the apparatus with the tank containing the liquid and the gas to be introduced in the container, removed;
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross-section of the apparatus taken along the line IIII of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross-section of the apparatus taken along the line III-J11 of Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 4 shows the cross-section of the apparatus taken along the line IVIV of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 5 shows the cross-section of the apparatus taken along the line VV of Fig. 1;
  • Figs. 6, 7, 8, and 9 diagrammatically show the four characteristic steps of operation of the apparatus.
  • the apparatus comprises an upper stationary body 1 which is connected to the bottom of a tank 21 containing a liquid and a gas under pressure.
  • the body 1 comprises a cylindical portion on which a sleeve 2 is slidably mounted to move longitudinally to a fixed extent with respect to the body 1.
  • three longitudinal bores are provided, each having a diameter greater than that of the bore associated therewith and each of which opens into a recess, respectively 13, 26 and 27, which is in communication with tank 21.
  • the sleeve 2 contains a socket 7 in which are inserted at from one another three piston valves in the form of sliding members 3, 4, 5, which are hollow and cylindrical and which are closed at their upper ends and which in the upper portion of their cylindical surface are provided with laterally disposed openings 17 for the liquid or for the gases.
  • the sliding members are fixed to the socket 7 by a screw threaded tightening member 6 and are arranged to slide into the three longitudinal bores of the body 1 and to extend into the recesses 19, 26 and 27 when the sleeve moves longitudinally upward with respect to the stationary body 1.
  • the ducts 8, 9 and 10 which are positioned in continuation of the hollow cylindrical sliding members 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
  • the duct 10 opens and the ducts 8 and 9 penetrate into the container 22 to be filled.
  • Packing 11 is provided under said socket 7 and packings 14 are disposed between the body 1 and the hollow cylindrical sliding members 3, 4 and 5 to insure both liquid and gas tightness.
  • packings are shown in Fig. 2 as inserted in the fix body 1, but they may be inserted in the members 3, 4 and 5.
  • a rubber or metal washer 12 is mounted on the upper closed end of each of the members 3, 4 and 5, and insures against losses which otherwise might occur when the apparatus is stationary, i. e. when the various members are at the end of their downward stroke.
  • the recesses 26 and 27 are closed by means of plugs 18 to which the tubes 24 and 25 are connected, which tubes extend above the level of the liquid contained in the tank 21 to reach the dome 23 of the tank in which dome the gas is contained above the liquid.
  • a rubber valve 15 On the upper end of the cylinder 5 is mounted a rubber valve 15 which, when said cylinder has completed its upward stroke in the recess 27, closes the vent 20 of the tube 24 through which, as will be described hereinafter, gas
  • a screw 16 which is screwed into the body 1 and may slide in a slot in the sleeve 2 prevents the sleeve 2 from being disengaged from the body 1 by effect of a spring 13 or springs which is or are inserted between the body 1 and a socket 6, having the purpose of immediately discontinuing the exit of the liquid and of the gas in case the bottle is broken.
  • Figs. 6 to 9 The operation of the apparatus due to the lifting of the container to be filled, is diagrammatically shown in Figs. 6 to 9, wherein, for better illustration, the sliding members 3,. 4 and 5 are shown as arranged in the same plane.
  • the openings of the three hollow cylindrical sliding members 3, 4- and 5 are closed and prevent the fluids lowing from the tank 21-, situated above the body 1, toward the container 22 wherein are inserted the tubes 8 and 9 which pass through the socket 7 and are in communication respecti-vely with the member 3' and with the member 4.
  • a container elevator of a known type slowly lifts the container 22, and with it the socket 7 and the three sliding members 3, 4 and 5 which are fixed to said socket.
  • the spring or the springs 13 are compressed and in case the container breaks, the springs, by their expansion, move the socket 7 further from the body 1, bringing all the openings of the sliding members back to their closed position, thus stopping the flow of the fluids.
  • Automatic apparatus for filling containers with gaseous liquids comprising in combination a tank containing, a liquid and a gas under pressure, a container to be filled with said liquid and said gas, a stationary body fixed underneath said tank and connected thereto, said stationary body having a cylindrical. portion provided with three longitudinal bores spaced at 120 from each other and with three recesses, each longitudinal bore opening into a recess, said recesses having a diameter greater than the diameter of the bore associated therewith, a socket arranged in movable spring controlled relation with respect to the stationary body, the said socket being provided with a plurality of ducts spaced from each other, a plurality of piston valves in the form of hollow sliding members which project from the socket arranged as a continuation of the said ducts, said.
  • hollow sliding members sliding in the said bores in the stationary body and extending into the said recesses, and means in the upper part of said hollow sliding members for insuring their successive communication between said container and said tank when said socket is raised, toward said stationary body by the raising; of said. container.
