Definitions

• the invention relates to a container with a connection sleeve arranged for receiving a safety valve closure, such containers having no further connections with conventional equipment.
• the connection sleeve is usually arranged centrally in the upper container wall forming the so-called connection cover.
• Containers of this type are used in the beverage industry as well as in the chemical and mineral oil industries for the transport of liquids, pastes and granules.
• the safety valve itself has a design that, when connected, opens a flow path for the medium and the conveyed compressed gas or for venting the inside of the container during pumping operation.
• the safety-related design of such safety valve closures further provides that these can only be removed from the connecting sleeve by persons authorized to do so using special tools.
• the containers designed to accommodate a safety valve • closure are intended to replace previously used single-use container systems as so-called reusable container systems, which are provided with simple closures.
• Screw closures made of metal or plastic, for example, are used as closures of such disposable container systems, which cooperate with a barrel sleeve, or else disposable plastic closures that can be clipped onto the barrel sleeve are used.
• the task arises of equipping reusable containers with a container connection which is generally intended for the use of safety valve closures, but which, on the other hand, offers the possibility of also using the simple closure systems previously used, so that these can be used during the container changeover phase - Lung, i.e. during the mixed filling of disposable and reusable containers, still on the usually available Filling systems for containers with simple closures can be filled without problems.
• an - at least partially - insertable in the connecting sleeve for a safety valve closure adapter socket which is provided on the one hand with the holding, sealing and securing elements of a safety valve closure, while on the other hand on its outer Opening edge each has receiving elements for a certain simple closure.
• the holding, sealing and securing elements corresponding to a safety valve closure are assigned to the one - lower - end section of the adapter socket, while the receiving elements for the simple closure are located on the other - upper - End portion of the same.
• the holding, sealing and securing elements corresponding to a safety valve closure are located on the outer circumference of the adapter bushing, while the receptacle elements for the simple closure are at least partially on Inner circumference of the same are provided.
• receiving elements for the simple closure at the adapter socket opening can also be designed as a snap-seal connection.
• FIG. 2 shows, on a larger scale, a partial section through a container connection with an inserted adapter sleeve and a simple lock
• Figure 3 is also an enlarged partial sectional view of a modified construction of
• FIG. 4 shows yet another embodiment of
• FIG. 5 shows the container connection in the embodiment according to FIG. 2, but with the safety valve closure inserted.
• the standing container 1 shown in FIG. 1 carries a container in its upper end wall provided as a lid 2.
• teranschluß 3 which can be seen in more detail in Figure 2. It essentially consists of a connecting sleeve 5 which is fastened in the cover 2 by means of a weld 4.
• An adapter socket 6 is installed in the connecting sleeve 5.
• This adapter socket 6 has on its outer contour all those holding, sealing and securing elements which are necessary for installing a safety valve closure 18 (FIG. 5) in the connecting sleeve 5.
• a safety valve closure 18 FIG. 5
• there are no valve function internals in the adapter socket 6. Rather, it usually has an open, internal cross section.
• the holding, sealing and securing elements can have the form of a bayonet or link lock shown in FIG. 2, which is equipped with the bayonet link guide 7 and the locking ring 17. However, they can also be set up for another type of fastening of the safety valve closure 18, for example. According to FIG. 3, they have an internal thread 13 in the connecting sleeve 5 or, according to FIG. 4, an external thread 14 on the connecting sleeve 5.
• the adapter bushings 6, 11 and 12 according to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are matched to the holding, sealing and securing elements 7, 17 and 13 or 14. Between the connecting sleeve 5 and the adapter bushing 6, 11 or 12, a seal 8 is provided, which has the same arrangement or position as the seal 8, which is required for the installation of the safety valve closure 18 according to FIG. 5 is.
• the edge region 9 of the outer opening 15 has receiving and holding elements 16 for a sealing and secure fastening of simple container closures 10.
• simple container closures 10 For example, screw threads or snap-on sealing connections, as can be seen in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, are suitable as receiving and holding elements for the simple container closure.
• the adapter sockets 6, 11 or 12 are assembled using the appropriate assembly tools and the appropriate safety valve in the connecting sleeves 5. Closures 18 installed, one of which is shown in Figure 5.
• the safety valve closure 18 according to FIG. 5 consists of the valve housing 19, the immersion tube 20, the valve body 21, the valve spring 22 and the closure flange 23.
• the valve housing 19 has the same holding, sealing and securing elements, like the adapter socket 6 according to FIG. 2.
• the groove 7, the seal 8 and the locking ring 17 are therefore present as part of a bayonet lock, which cooperates with the cam 24 in the connecting sleeve 5.
• valve body 21 located in the valve housing 19 is axially displaced against the bias of the spring 22.
• the valve body 21 releases an outer flow channel 26 and also openings 27 below a cover 28 on the dip tube 20. While the flow channel 26 clears a flow path for a conveying compressed gas or for interior ventilation during pumping operation, the openings 27 allow the medium in the container 1 to exit.
