Definitions

  • the instant invention overcomes the diiiiculties encountered by the prior art by providing novel means for dispensing draught beer in predetermined volumes and counting the number of predetermined volumes dispensed.
  • the apparatus for accomplishing this purpose is essentially tamper proof and is extremely economical.
  • Draught beer, prior to dispensing thereof, is maintained under controlled pressure and temperature conditions with ythe pressure typically in the range of from l5 to 30 p.s.i. and the temperature between 36 and 40 Fahrenheit. Recognizing this, the instant invention operates on the principle of measuring time to determine the volume dispensed.
  • Valves provided by the prior art for this purpose have found little diiculty in controlling the foam content of beer while the beer is owing. However, each time iiow is caused to stop there is an excessive gas buildup in the valve chamber serving to invalidate time-ow measuring concepts during the initial interval when flow is resumed.
  • the device of the instant invention provides novel means for controlling venting of the gas each time the valve is operated prior to opening of the main valve member.
  • the valve is solenoid operated and includes a stem secured to the movable core of the solenoid.
  • valve is readily dismantled for cleaning thereof.
  • a primary object of the instant invention is to provide novel means for dispensing controlled volunies of gas charged liquids.
  • Another object is to provide a device of this type having novel valve means which enables accumulated gases to be vented prior to liquid flow.
  • Still another object is to provide a valve means of this type which is electrically operated.
  • a further object is to provide a dispensing device of this type having a novel electronic timing unit.
  • a still further object is to provide a dispensing device of this type which is tamper proof and at the same time permits the ready dismantling of the valve to permit cleaning thereof.
  • FIGURE l is a perspective of a dispensing unit constructed in accordance with the teachings of the instant invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a cross-section taken through line 2--2 of FIGURE 1 looking in the direction of arrows 2 2 showing the internal construction of the valve means. Since the valve means elements are, for the most part, of circular cross-section formed about an axis through which line 22 extends, additional sectional views are not provided, it being deemed that the single cross-section of FIGURE 2 and the following description thereof is a full and cornplete disclosure of the valve means structure.
  • FIGURE 3 is a schematic showing the electrical connections between the elements of the dispensing unit of FIGURE 1.
  • Dispensing unit 10 i11- cludes rectangular sided housing 11 having valve means 12 mounted to front surface 13, manually operable handle 14 mounted to side surface 15 and essentially all of the electrical components shown in FIGURE 3 disposed within housing 11.
  • Front surface 13 is provided with a rectangular opening 16 having a transparent covering through which the dials of counter mechanism 17 are viewable.
  • Key operated lock 18, for the control of master switch 99 (FIGURE 3) is located on front surface 13 while removable and lockable key plug 19 is also located on front surface 13.
  • Valve means 12 includes hollow body 21 formed of lower section 22 and upper section 23 threadably joined to one another so as to be separable for purposes of cleaning valve means 12.
  • Upper body section 23 includes upwardly projecting hollow stem 24 having a central bore with the lower portion 25 of this bore being considerably larger than upper portion 25a thereof.
  • solenoid armature'26 Disposed within lower bore portion 2S is solenoid armature'26 of elongated cylindrical shape. Relatively small diameter rod 27, force fitted in bore 28 positioned at the central axis of armature 26, projects upwardly from the upper end of armature 26. Threaded portion 29 at the upper end of rod 27 projects above the upper end of stem 24 and threadably mounts adjusting nut 31.
  • Resilient washer 32 is mounted to rod 27 being interposed between adjusting nut 31 and the upper end of armature 26.
  • Pin 42 positioned transverse to the axis of armature 26, is fixedly secured to armature 26 and extends through lower bore section 38 as well as through transverse aperture 43 of rod 37.
  • Aperture 43 is of considerably larger diameter than the diameter of pin 42 thereby providing a lost motion connection between member 35 and armature 26. That is, initial upward movement of armature 26 from the position of FIGURE 2 does not cause movement of member 35 with movement of member 35 being delayed until pin 42 engages the upper boundary of aperture 43.
  • armature 26 Mounted to the upper end of armature 26 and surrounding rod 27 is resilient washer 44. Upon upward movement of armature 26 washer 44 engages inclined seat 45 surrounding the entrance to reduced bore section 25a of stem 24 to close off ⁇ the upper exit port 33 of chamber 34 from atmosphere.
  • Coiled compression spring 46 surrounds the bottom portion of armature 26 with one end bearing against flange 26a at the bottom of armature 26 and the upper end bearing against an interior shoulder of upper body section 23. This shoulder is in a surface defining an aperture constituting the lower extension of stem bore 25, 25a.
  • Coiled compression spring 46a is mounted to rod 37 and bears against armature 26 and member 35, biasing the latter downward.
  • Spring 46a is of much lower strength than spring 46 and for some constructions spring 46a may be omitted and gravity relied upon to bias member 35 downward with respect to armature 26.
  • Solenoid operating coil 50 surrounds the lower portion of stem 24 and rests upon magnetic plate 51. The latter is seated upon the horizontal upper surface 52 of upper body section 23. The lower end of stem 24 is fixedly secured to surface 52 by brazing.
  • Vented cylindrical cap 54 covering the top of stem 24, extends through a central aperture in the upper wall of coil cap 55 with the latter being seated upon a step at the periphery of surface 52. Caps 54 and 55 are held in place either by gravity, friction and/ or any other suitable means (not shown) which will permit their ready removal. Electrical leads 56, 57, connected to opposite ends of coil 50, extend through grommet 58 surrounding an aperture in the upper wall of cap 50. Resilient washer 59 is interposed between the upper end of coil 50 and the inner surface of cap 55 to stabilize coil 50 against undue vibration.
  • Fitting 60 extends into depression 61 in the outer surface of the lower housing section 26 with depression 61 being positioned to the rear of entrance port 62 to valve chamber 34.
  • Brazing bead 63 provides a rigid fluid tight connection between fitting 60 and lower housing section 22.
  • Radial shoulder 64 of fitting 60 abuts the front surface of housing 11 to position valve means 12 while nut 65 mounted to the threaded rear portion of fitting 60 abuts the inner surface of the housing front wall to secure valve means 12 in place.
  • Suitable keying means fixes the angular position of fitting 60 relative to housing 11.
  • the rear threaded section 66 of fitting 60 extends entirely through housing 11 emerging at the rear thereof for connection to a supply of gas charged liquid.
  • the axial bore of fitting 60 provides a conduit for conducting liquid into chamber 34 through entrance port 36.
  • solenoid coil 50 is effective to cause upward movement of armature 26 from the position shown in FIGURE 2 to a position in which Washer 44 engages seat 45.
  • washer 31 is lifted from the upper end of stem 24 thereby opening the upper exit port and permitting free gas accumulated in chamber 34 to be vented.
  • armature 26 raises member 36 from seating washer 41 thereby opening the lower 4 exit port 36 permitting gas charged liquid to ow from chamber 34 through spout 21a with this fiow continuing until such time as member 35 is again seated on washer 41.
  • Dispensing unit 10 is connected to 110 volt.
  • A.C. source 71 through line cord 72 one side of which is connected directly to line 73 and the other side connected through normally open master switch 99 and series connected normally open pour switch 98 to line 74.
  • Pour switch 98 is a single pole mercury device operated by external handle 14.
  • Solenoid coil 50 and resistor 50 form a series circuit connected in parallel with the pri-mary winding 76 of transformer 75 with this parallel com'bination being connected between lines 73 and 74.
  • Also connected between lines 73 and 74 is a series combination of lamp 80 and current limiting resistor 81.
  • Lamp 80 provides continuous illumination for voltage regulator tubes 88, 89 so that operation thereof is not adversely affected by the dark current effect.
  • Coil 97 is the o-perating means for a double pole double throw relay having switching sections 82, 105. Movable contact arm of relay section 82 is connected directly to line 74 while one contact 83 of relay section 82 is connected to the junction of switches 98 and 99 and the other contact 84 of section 82 is connected to one end of coil 86 whose other end is connected directly to line 73.
  • Coil 86 is the operating means for counter 17 which is of a construction type well known to the art including a pawl and ratchet means (not shown) stepping a group of coordinated number wheels.
  • Transformer 75 is provided with two secondary windings 77, 78.
  • Winding 77 feeds the half wave rectifier consisting of diode 90 and filter condenser 91 to produce approximately minus 300 volts at point A.
  • the vother winding 78 feeds the half wave rectifier consisting of diode 92 and filter condenser 93 to produce approximately plus 150 volts at point B.
  • the negative side of condenser 93 is connected through resistor 94 to point A while point B is connected through current limiting resistor 95 to the junction between glow diode 96 and relay coil 97.
  • the other end of coil 97 is connected to the junction between resistor 94 and condenser 93 while the other end of glow diode 96 is connected to line 97 joining the adjustable ar-m 101 of potentiometer 100 with one end of condenser 102 and contact 103 of relay section 105.
  • the other end of condenser 102 and the other contact 104 of relay section 105 are connected directly to the juncture between resistor 94 and condenser 93
  • movable arm 106 of relay 105 is connected to the positive side of condenser 91.
  • a series circuit extends from point A through resistor 107 and voltage regulator tu'bes 88, S9 to the positive side of condenser 91.
  • the resistance portion of potentiometer is connected through resistor 110 to the juncture between resistor 107 and voltage regulator tu'be 88.
  • Diode 96 now provides a low impedance path for discharge of condenser 102 through relay coil 97 thereby providing suiiicient energy to operate arms 106 and 85 to the left. Thereafter the 150 volts appearing at point B and applied through resistor 95, is suiiicient to latch, or hold, arms 85 and 106 in engagement with contacts 83 and 104, respectively.
  • This discharge energy supplied by condenser 102 is opposite in polarity to the holding energy supplied by condenser 93 and is of suiiicient magnitude to overcome the latching Voltage for relay coil 97 thereby permitting biasing means (not shown) to 4return contact arms 85 and 106 to their positions shown in FIGURE 3 at essentially the instant trigger diode 93 breaks down.
  • the time interval between the closing of pour switch 98 and the separation of arm 85 from contact 83 may be accurately adjusted by means of potentiometer 100. For a typical construction an interval of 3.5 seconds is required to fill a seven ounce oval glass typically used at neighborhood bars. It is noted that potentiometer adjusting arm 101 is accessi'ble vonly after removal of lockable plug 19 and that valve means 12 is entirely inopera'ble unless lock 18 is operated to close master switch 99.
  • handle 14 For continuous pouring, handle 14 is maintained in its forward position thereby keeping switch 98 closed. However, each time the discharge of condenser 102 brings about a deenergization of relay coil l97 with switch 98 closed, contact arm 85 in engaging contact -84 closes the energizing circuit for counter coil 86 and the counter 17 is advanced to indicate that a predetermined volume of liquid has been poured.
  • this invention provides a novel, inexpensive and reliable means for dispensing predetermined amounts of gas charged liquids.
  • the construction is such that installation in an existing system is extremely simple and the unit is essentially tamper proof. Further, the valve means may readily be dismantled for cleaning thereof.
