Definitions

  • This invention relates to taps for containers and is particularly concerned with such taps for dispensing the contents of flexible plastic receptacles housed within substantially rigid shipping containers. More specifically the invention is concerned with such taps providing a probe for puncturing the plastic receptacle within the rigid container, while making a tight joint with the wall of that container, also providing for a rigid seating with respect to the wall of the container bordering an opening therein, and, finally providing valve means for selective dispensing of the contents of the receptacle.
  • the tap member of the invention eliminates all of the prior art drawbacks and provides a fully effective economical probe-type device combined with a valve member which tap can be used over and over again as the user receives periodic shipments of commodities packaged in bag-like members carried in rigid containers.
  • the probe member is so designed that when it pierces the wall of the flexible plastic bag and is forced into it, a tight joint with the bag material will be made maintained so long as the bag member is formed of a material which is stretchable and has a memory tending to return it to its 3,343,724 Patented Sept. 26, 1967 original state. Polyethylene is a nonlimiting example of such material.
  • the invention tap also provides for simple and foolproof securement with respect to the wall of the rigid container. All one needs to do is to introduce the probe through the already perforated and indicated section of the container wall, and, after it is forced to the full extent allowed by its construction, rotate the tap to the extent indicated so that the tightening cam members formed inegrally with the tap will draw it tightly against the container wall. This tight securing having been effected, the valve can be rotated for dispensing Without any way disturbing the joint between the tap body and the rigid wall.
  • the invention includes provision for preventing the turning of the tap member too far in either direction, thus assuring that it will be fully closed when it is intended to be closed and vice versa. By this means effective pouring and tight closing are achieved.
  • Another object is to provide such taps which form a tight leakproof joint with the walls of such receptacles.
  • Still another object is to provide such taps which can be readily secured to the rigid walls of the carrying containers for flexible receptacles in easily ascertainable foolproof manner.
  • Anther object is to provide such taps with effective valving, the terminating of whose movement at its extremes is effectively controlled.
  • a further object is to provide such taps having valve members which may be assembled or disassembled by the exertion of suitable force but which maintain their assembled leakproof relationship under normal dispensing operation.
  • a further object is to provide such taps which are of economical construction and can be economically manufactured of a resilient stretchable plastic material.
  • a still further object is to provide such taps, the application of which to receptacles and the proper utilization of which are readily apparent to the user of the same.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a container and the tap prior to securement of the tap in the wall of a container.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the tap secured to the wall of a container.
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the tape with certain parts broken away to more clearly illustrate the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional side elevation view of the tap taken along lines 44 of FIG. 2 and showing the tap secured to the wall of a container.
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional horizontal view of the tap taken along lines 5-5 of FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional end elevation view of the valve portion of the tap taken along lines 6-6 of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 6A is a cross-sectional end elevation view of the probe portion of the tap taken along the lines 6a6a of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective end view of the outer end of the probe portion of the tap.
  • FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional horizontal view similar to FIG. showing a modified construction of the tap.
  • the novel tap 14, as best shown in FIG. 3, comprises a probe member and a valve member 16.
  • the probe member is molded in a conventional manner from a resilient plastic material of which polyethylene is a nonlimiting example.
  • the valve member is molded in a conventional manner from a more rigid plastic material of which polypropylene is a non-limiting example.
  • the probe member 15 comprises a straight thin walled cylinder 17 and an integrally formed and axially aligned hollow coni cal member 18 tapering to a point 19.
  • a plurality of openings 20 are spaced about the circumference of the conical member 18 to permit a liquid to freely flow into the interior of member 18 and into cylinder 17.
  • a circular collar 21 extends radially outwardly from the probe and is integrally formed with the base of the conical member 18 at one surface thereof and is integrally formed with the cylinder 17 at the other surface thereof.
  • a pair of oppositely notched areas 22 and 23 are formed in collar 21 and extend radially outwardly from the base of the conical member 18 and extend through the outer periphery of the collar.
  • a pair of integrally formed lugs 24 and 25 extend radially outwardly from the surface of the conical member 18. The lugs 24 and 25 are positioned axially in alignment with the notched areas 22 and 23 respectively and are axially spaced from the inner surface of the collar by a distance slightly less than the thickness of the wall of the container to which the tap is ultimately secured.
  • Lugs 24, 25 have a width at least equal to the width of notched areas 22, 23 and have a length at least equal to the width of the collar.
  • one side surface of each of the notched areas 22 and 23 has a cam surface 26 which inclines toward the lugs 24 and 25.
  • the side surface of each lug 24 and 25 positioned opposite from the cam surfaces formed on the notches 22 and 23 has a cam surface 27 which inclines toward the collar 21.
  • a pair of axially extending lugs 30 and 31 are integrally formed in the outer surface of the collar member 21 in such a manner that lug 31 is in radial alignment with the center of aperture 32 and lug 30 is positioned 180 degrees from lug 31. In such position each lug 3t), 31 is positioned 90 degrees from the notched areas 22 and 23 and serve as a gripping means whereby the probe may be rotated.
  • An indicating arrow 36 is integrally formed on the outer edge of collar 21 in radial alignment with the lug 30 to provide a convenient guide to assure that aperture 32 will be positioned facing downwardly when the probe is properly secured to the container wall.
  • Cylinder 17 has a circular aperture 32 extending through its side wall. The outer end surface of cylinder 17 is recessed throughout 180 degrees of its circumference thereby forming inward axially extending shoulders 33 and 34. The shoulder 33 is positioned such that it is in axial alignment with the center of aperture 32.
  • the valve member 16 comprises a head portion 40 and an integrally formed cylinder 41 having an outside diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of the cylinder 17 of the probe to effect tight frictional engagement when cylinder 41 is telescopically received within cylinder 17. Such engagement however is not sufficient to provent rotational movement between the said cylinders.
  • a circular groove 42 is formed in the inner surface of the head portion 40 and surrounds the inner end of cylinder 41 at the juncture where it joins the head portion 40.
  • a stop member 43 radially extends across the groove 42.
  • aperture 44 having substantially the same diameter as aperture 32 in cylinder 17 extends through the side wall of cylinder 41 and is positioned so that its center is in axial alignment with the stop 43.
  • a groove 45 is formed in the outer surface of cylinder 41 and is positioned adjacent the outer end thereof.
  • the inner surface of cylinder 17 is provided with a circular shoulder 46 having a thickness substantially the same as the depth of the groove 45 and a width substantially the same as the width of the groove 45.
  • the outer end of cylinder 17 has one half of the end surface recessed by a distance equal to the width of the shoulders 33 and 34.
  • the shoulders 33 and 34 have a width slightly greater than the depth of the groove 42 so that in assembled relation ship of probe 15 and valve 16 the unrecessed end surface of cylinder 17 seats itself against the bottom surface of the groove 42 and the recessed surface end of the cylinder rides free of the stop member. Consequently, in such an assembled relationship the valve portion 16 is freely rotatable in either direction through an arc of degrees.
  • the center of aperture 32 is positioned the same axial distance from the end of cylinder 17 as the center of the aperture 44 is positioned from the bottom surface of the groove 42 so that in such assembled relationship the centers of apertures 32 and 44 are in the same radial plane.
  • the center of aperture 44 in cylinder 41 is in axial alignment with the stop 43 and the center of the aperture 32 is in axial alignment with the shoulder 33 on the end of cylinder 17.
  • the stop 43 will contact the shoulder 33 at which point the apertures 32 and 44 will be in mating position to permit a free flow of liquid therethrough.
  • the stop 43 will contact the shoulder 34 on the end of cylinder 17 at which position the apertures 32 and 44 will be positioned 180 degrees apart to block the flow of fluid.
  • the novel tap construction of the invention is employed in conjunction with a container 10 within which is placed a polyethylene bag 11 filled with a liquid.
  • the liquid expands the bag 11 to conform to the contour of the container so that the bag itself is retained against the inside surface of the container without necessarily being an integral part thereof.
  • a punchout circular area 12 having outwardly extending ear areas 13 is prescored at the lower edge of one side Wall of the container so that it may be easily pushed out to form an opening of the same contour as the p re-scored area.
  • the pointed end 19 of the probe member 15 is pressed afiainst the pre-scored area 12, 13 to push the same out of the container wall. Since the bag 11 is flexible and is not secured to the container wall it yields sufficiently to permit the knocked out portion to fall within the container clear of the pre-scored opening. Upon continued inward movement of the probe its pointed end 19 pierces the bag 11. As the conical member 18 of the probe is forced into the wall of the polyethylene bag 11 its increasing diameter stretches the material surrounding the bag opening. The polyethylene material comprising the bag 11 as a memory, that is, a material is stretched it tends to pull back to its original shape.
  • the stretching causes a small amount of such material to lie along the conical surface of the probe and, because of its memory characteristics, to form a liquid tight seal with the surface of the probe.
  • the probe is oriented relative to the container 10 so that the lugs 24, 25 are in alignment with the areas 13 in the container wall and the arrow 36 points to the left as viewed in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the conical member 18 of the probe is forced into bag 11 until the lugs 24,
  • the Wall material surrounding the opening 12 in the container wall is permitted to expand slightly into the notched areas to more effectively lock the probe member to the container wall and prevent it from working loose on the container wall by the subsequent repeated operation of the valve member.
  • the valve member 16 Prior to the insertion of the probe into the container wall the valve member 16 is assembled with the probe member 15 and rotated relative thereto so that its aperture 44 is out of alignment with aperture 32 of the probe so that when the probe is firmly secured to the container wall no liquid will escape. After the probe is thus secured to the container wall the valve member can be selectively rotated for dispensing the liquid without disturbing the joint between the probe and the container wall.
  • a recessed area 47 is formed in the surface of the conical member 18 adjacent of that member with collar 21.
  • the stretched material of bag 11 surrounding the pierced opening in said bag lies within the recess 47 to form a tight seal.
  • a probe member In a tap for insertion into a container wall, the combination of a probe member and a valve member, said probe member comprising a hollow cylinder molded of synthetic plastic resin having an inner end formed into a closed conical portion and an open outer end, an inlet opening adjacent said inner end communicating with the interior of said probe member, a lateral discharge opening adjacent said outer end of said probe member, a radially outwardly extending collar surounding said probe and positioned between said openings, securing means extending radially outwardly from said probe positioned between said collar and said inlet opening, said collar and said securing means adapted to cooperatively engage and tightly compress the peripheral portion of a container wall opening therebetween so as to prevent axial and rotational movement of said probe relative to the container wall during actuation of said valve member, said valve member comprising a hollow cylinder formed of synthetic plastic material having an open inner end and a closed outer end and telescopically and rotatably received within said probe member, a discharge opening in said valve member positioned
