Definitions
- the invention relates to a tap head for keg fittings according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a dispensing head is known from DE-PS 39 02 527.
- a pressure relief valve which opens at a predetermined gas pressure in the keg and tap head in order to prevent an explosive bursting of the barrel-like keg and the tap head in the event of excessive gas pressure.
- Known pressure relief valves (DE-OS 29 39 536) for this purpose are designed as special components, they have to be manufactured separately and subsequently used sealed in a wall of the dispensing head housing.
- DE-GM 91 10 371 shows in a tap head of a different type a slide guide attached to the tap head housing as a separate component for a barrel fitting.
- FIG. 1 shows a partially sectioned side view of a tap head for keg fittings with sliding guide in the normal operating state
- FIG. 2 shows the tap head from FIG. 1 in a consequent gas overpressure position raised from the keg fitting
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of the dispensing head from FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 shows a partially sectioned front view of the tap head with unscrewed connecting piece in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 and 5 shows a front view of the tap head similar to that in FIG. 4 in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 2.
- the dispensing head shown on the drawing for a keg fitting comprises a housing 1 with a connecting piece 2 for the introduction of compressed gas, e.g. Compressed air or CO2, as well as a sliding guide 3 arranged on the underside of the housing 1, by means of which the housing 1 can be pushed and fastened in a known manner onto the keg fitting of the barrel-like container, for example a beer or lemonade container that the dispensing head and the keg fitting are firmly and tightly connected.
- compressed gas e.g. Compressed air or CO2
- An essentially hollow cylindrical slide 4 can be displaced in the housing 1 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing 1.
- a connection piece 5 for the liquid to be drawn for example beer or lemonade, is arranged at the top.
- the slide 4 contains in its interior a loose, spherical valve body 6 which interacts with a valve seat (not shown) on the slide 4 and forms a non-return valve for the tapped liquid.
- An actuating lever 11 is pivotally mounted on the housing 1 by means of a horizontally continuous bolt 9, which in the region of the housing 1 (see FIG. 3) has a relatively large recess 12 with which it encompasses the upper part of the housing 1, so that it can be pivoted back and forth between an upper and lower position.
- a horizontally continuous bolt 9 which in the region of the housing 1 (see FIG. 3) has a relatively large recess 12 with which it encompasses the upper part of the housing 1, so that it can be pivoted back and forth between an upper and lower position.
- two pins 13, 14 protrude inward in the region of this actuating lever and engage in recesses 15 of the slide 4 on both sides.
- the recesses 15, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2 have widening openings for inserting the pins 13, 14.
- the slide 4 is carried along via the pins 13, 14.
- the upper position is the closed position
- the lower position is the open position of the tap head.
- the tap head can be removed from the side of the keg fitting or connected to it by means of the slide guide 3.
- the connecting pieces 2, 5 are connected in a manner known per se to corresponding (not shown) passages of the keg fitting for gas or liquid.
- a spring tongue 18 (also made of plastic) is formed in one piece, which protrudes freely upwards and has a catch 19 in the upper region.
- the upper end of the spring tongue 18 constantly engages in the recess 12 of the operating lever 11.
- the spring tongue 18 comes under elastic prestress until it is finally located with its latching lug 19 above the upper side of the actuating lever 11, this latching lug 19 via an associated locking edge 31 of Recess 12 protrudes ( Figures 1, 2 and 3) and the actuating lever 11 is thereby locked in this lower position.
- An annular collar 21 provided at the bottom of the slide 4 with openings (not shown) for the gas passage can rest against an annular stop edge 22 of the housing part 1 when the tap head is in its closed position.
- a seal (not shown) provided on the slide 4 below serves in the open position of the dispensing head (FIGS. 1 and 2) to seal the slide 4 on the keg fitting, which is known per se.
- the sliding guide 3 contains an annular seal 24, the cross-sectional shape of which can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 and which also seals towards the keg fitting.
- annular seal 24 As shown, an inwardly directed annular collar 20 is formed on the sliding guide 3, which engages in an outwardly opening annular groove of the annular seal 24 and thus serves as a holder for this annular seal 24. If, in the open position of the dispensing head (FIGS. 1 and 2), the slide 4 is pressed down by the actuating lever 11, the outer edge of the annular collar 21 provided on the slide 4 engages with a conical inclined surface formed on the seal 24 and thereby presses sealing this seal against a plate 30 of the barrel-side keg fitting (FIG. 4).
- the sliding guide 3 can be formed as a separate part from the housing 1 from resilient plastic.
- the sliding guide 3 is subsequently firmly connected to the housing 1, which is generally also made of plastic, for example by screwing, welding or gluing.
- the sliding guide 3, the outline of which can be seen essentially from FIG. 3, is inserted into a recess of the housing 1 corresponding to this outline.
- the slide guide 3 has a U-shaped guide track 32 for the plate 30 of the keg fitting.
- the guideway is formed by an upper wall of the sliding guide and an inwardly projecting guide web 33 which is arranged at a distance below this wall.
- This groove-shaped guideway 32 is open to the left in FIG. 1 and closed to the right by the U-bend, so that the dispensing head can be pushed onto the plate 30 of the keg fitting from the right, the guide web 33 surrounding the edge of the plate 30 engages.
- the actuating lever 11 is in its upper position (not shown) and thus the tap head is in the closed position.
- the dispensing head is clamped in its normal operating position on the plate 30 of the keg fitting, the ring seal 24 being pressed firmly and sealingly onto the surface of the plate 30 by the slide 4 brought into its lower position that liquid can be tapped in the usual manner from the container provided with the keg fitting.
- the resulting gap 34 can have a height of approximately 1 to 2 millimeters, for example.
- the width of the gap (see FIG. 3) can be, for example, approximately 60 millimeters.
- the gap 34 thus forms a sufficiently large opening to allow excess gas to escape quickly in large quantities and to reduce an inadmissible gas overpressure.
- the opening pressure at which the tap head is to lift off the keg fitting can be set by appropriately designing the resilient guide web 33 on which the edge of the plate 30 rests. It is possible to adjust the modulus of elasticity of the material forming the sliding guide. than, in particular plastic, and to adjust the geometry and the dimensioning of this guide web 33 such that the dispensing head lifts off at a desired gas pressure, forming the gap 34, and thus acts as an overpressure valve. Liquids are normally drawn from containers with keg fittings at an operating pressure of approx. 3 bar. The maximum permissible pressure in the tap head and in the container is approximately 7 bar. The guide web 33 responsible for lifting the dispensing head is thus designed such that the dispensing head lifts off at a pressure which is greater than approximately 7 bar.
- the opening cross section of the gap 34 depends on the prevailing pressure, i. H. the gap opening becomes larger at greater pressure and vice versa, which in turn is based on the elastic flexibility of the guide web 33, which engages under the edge of the plate 30 and, when the gas pressure is relaxed, guides the slide guide 3 with the seal 24 back to the surface of the plate 30 .
- the guide web 33 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, it is expedient to design the guide web 33 obliquely upward because it then deforms slightly downward into the position shown in FIGS. 2 and 5 when the gas pressure occurs.
- the guide web 33 can, in the normal case, that is to say without a gas overpressure, run horizontally or even downward. This does not change the basic mode of operation of the dispensing head as a “pressure relief valve”.
- the tap head essentially entirely of plastic.
- the slide guide 3 which consists of resilient plastic
- the housing 1, the slide 4, the actuating lever 11 and the spring tongue 18 are made of plastic.
- these parts can also consist of other materials, for example metal, as long as the slide guide 3 with its guide web 33 is made of resilient material or at least this guide web 33 consists of resilient material to enable the tap head to be lifted off the plate 30 of the keg fitting.
