Definitions

  • This invention is primarily related to a device for suspending bag ⁇ like containers adapted for flowing substances on a carrier.
  • Flowing food substances are primarily intended, such as mustard, ketchup, dressings, etcetera, within the restaurant and fast food business, cream, butter cream, jellies and the like within the bakery art etcet ⁇ era.
  • the term "flowing" includes, of course, such substances which are liquid but also such substances which occur in the form of a powder, granulate or similar.
  • Advantages are associated to provision of the substances in ques ⁇ tion in containers of the kind which decrease their volume in the same pace as the substance is discharged from the container. This does not require any air communicating connection between the interior of the bag and the ambient atmosphere and, accordingly, it is avoided that the substance in the container is exposed to contact with ambient air. This means that the food substance may remain in the container for a very long time without being degraded. It is in this connection preferred that the container has the character of a flexible bag, which with exception of one single discharge opening is entirely closed relative to the surroundings.
  • the present invention deals primarily with providing possibilities to efficiently suspend this type of bag-like containers, the suspension technique being such that the container may obtain a rather un ⁇ complicated design at the same time as the suspension should be such that discharge of the substance from the container is not af ⁇ fected negatively.
  • a device for dis ⁇ pensing flowing substances comprising a container, a valve arrangement and a conduit extending therebe ⁇ tween, in such a way that the conduit in a simple, rational and tight manner may be brought into communication with the interior of the container.
  • the object posed is fulfilled by the device comprising a carrying member adapted to carryingly engage with an upper edge portion of the container in such a manner that the carrying forces are applied relatively evenly distributed along this upper edge portion of the container and by the container comprising means for supporting the carrying member.
  • the bag-like con- tainer will be suspended in a controlled manner, without the con ⁇ tainer being, at least locally, deformed and possibly destructed, which could be the case when a point like suspension technique by means of hooks or the like were applied.
  • the object posed is achieved by the conduit comprising, at its end intended for connec ⁇ tion to the container, a cutting member adapted to cut through a closure arranged on the container and by a sleeve attachable to the container comprising at least one internal and annular sealing member adapted to seal against the exterior of a tubular portion, which extends through the sleeve, and at one end of which the cut ⁇ ting member is arranged.
  • Fig. 1 is a diagrammatical overall view of the dispensing device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a partially cut detail view illustrating a conduit lead- through and a pressure sensor
  • Fig. 3 is a diagrammatical view of a pump arrangement included in the device
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective exploded view of a part of a container and a conduit intended for connection thereto;
  • Fig. 5 is a partially cut side view illustrating the conduit and the container in Fig. 4 assembled
  • Fig. 6 is a partially cut side view of a dispensing unit contained in the dispensing device and comprising a tube produced from a flexible material;
  • Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 6 but illustrating the tube com ⁇ pressed
  • Fig 8 is a view similar to the lower part of Fig. 6 but with a differ ⁇ ent valve arrangement

  • Fig. 11 is a perspective exploded view illustrating the container and the carrier intended therefor.
  • Fig. 12 is an enlarged detail view of the container illustrated in Fig. 11.
  • Fig. 1 there is illustrated diagrammatically a device for dispens ⁇ ing flowing substances, in particular food substances, such as mustard, ketchup etcetera, comprising a dispensing unit 1 having a valve arrangement 2 for regulating flow of substance from a con ⁇ tainer 3 out through a discharge opening 4.
  • a dispensing unit 1 having a valve arrangement 2 for regulating flow of substance from a con ⁇ tainer 3 out through a discharge opening 4.
  • the container 3 is of the type which decreases its volume in the same pace as the substance is discharged from the container in or ⁇ der to avoid the substance in the container getting into contact with air, and in particular ambient air.
  • a preferred embodiment of the container 3 is as a flexible bag. Accordingly, the container 3 is pre ⁇ sumed to be filled with substance on delivery from a factory without existence of any air filled proportion of the space in the container. As the substance exits the container it reduces its volume so that the container in an emptied state is substantially flat.
  • the device comprises a tube 5 produced from a flexible material and intended to receive substance arriving from the container 3.
  • the valve arrangement 2 is adapted to be actuated for flow regula ⁇ tion by pressure influence on the flexible tube 5.
  • This pressure in ⁇ fluence is primarily intended to be manual, i.e. that the operator of the device grips the tube 5 with the hand and compresses the tube more or less in dependence upon the amount of substance the op ⁇ erator wants to dispense.
  • a conduit 6 extends between the valve arrangement 2 and the container 3. This conduit is co-ordinated with a pump arrangement 7 adapted to convey the substance in the conduit without getting into direct contact with the substance.
  • the pump arrangement is driven by a motor 8, the operation of which is controlled by a con ⁇ trol unit 9, which carries out the control of the motor 8 in depend ⁇ ence upon information received from a pressure sensor 10 and cor ⁇ responding to the pressure of the substance in the conduit 6. More specifically, the function is such that the control unit 9 controls the motor 8 to interruption of the pumping effect of the pump arrange ⁇ ment 7 at a certain pressure level of the substance in the conduit established by the pressure sensor 10, whereas the control unit 9 starts the pump arrangement when the pressure is below a certain level.
  • the valve arrangement 2 is adapted to close against flow of sub ⁇ stance from the tube 5 when this is exteriorly uneffected, but to open when the tube 5 is pressure affected from the exterior with a force above a certain threshold value.
  • the valve ar ⁇ rangement should, when the tube 5 is uninfluenced by the operator, be capable of closing such that the over pressure existing in the conduit 6 between the valve arrangement and the pump arrange- ment does not cause any flow of substance through the discharge opening 4.
  • An additional pressure obtained by the operator press ⁇ ing the tube 5 together should, however, give rise to an increase of the pressure in the conduit 6 to such an extent that the valve open ⁇ ing 2 opens.
  • the pump ar- rangement 7 should be of such a type that a pressure increase oc ⁇ curring in the conduit 6 as a consequence of compression of the tube 5 cannot involve flow of the substance through the pump ar ⁇ rangement 7 in the backwards direction towards the container 3.
  • a clamping coupling gen ⁇ erally denoted 12 is arranged to clamp the conduit 6 relative to the plate 11 for avoiding the conduit 6 from sliding back and forth in relation to the plate 11.
  • This one can be constituted by a bench top or the like in a restaurant, a kiosk or similar.
  • the clamping coupling 12 comprises two parts 13, 14 co-operating with each other and shaped for, on one hand, being locked tight in relation to the plate 11 and, on the other hand, effect a clamping member 15, for ex- ample a rubber ring, to be pressed against the tube 6 located on the inside thereof for fixing of position.
  • the parts 13, 14 are thought to present threads co-operating with each other so that the parts can be brought to be locked together in relation to the plate 11 by screwing, and, at the same time, the rubber ring 15 is deformed to clamp against the conduit 6.
  • the latter extends through a passage commonly formed by the parts 13, 14.
  • the pressure sensor 10 is also illustrated. This comprises a sensing member arranged to be affected by width changes of the conduit 6 depending on the pressure within the conduit. This pre ⁇ requisites that the conduit 6 to at least a part is flexible or hose like and enough deformable concerning width, so that pressure changes occurring shall give rise to width changes sensible by relatively un ⁇ complicated sensing members. Hence it follows that the pressure sensor 10 only senses the pressure indirectly, i.e. that the pressure sensor 10 is not in any direct contact with the substance in the con ⁇ duit 6 but with the outer mantle surface of the conduit.
  • the pressure sensor 10 is to be arranged in a cavity in a suitable holder 17 and the conduit 6 extends past this cavity so that the conduit at pres- sure increase in the same can expand more or less into this cavity and thereby affect the sensing member 16.
  • the pressure sensor 10 can be arranged totally separated from the clamping coupling 12, Fig. 2 shows that a pos ⁇ sible embodiment is to integrate the holder 17 with the clamping coupling 12, in the example with the lower part 13 of the latter.
  • the pump arrangement 7 is more closely illustrated in Fig. 3 to ⁇ gether with a part of the conduit 6.
  • At least the part of the conduit illustrated in Fig. 3 is designed like a hose and this hose part forms part of the pump arrangement 7 by comprising one or more pump members 18, which are arranged so as to be moved along a portion of the hose during pressure action against the same.
  • hose portion extends in the form of an arc and the pump members 18 are rotatably arranged around an axle 19, which sub- stantially forms the centre for the arc of the hose portion.
  • the pump arrangement 7 comprises a housing 20 which is formed by two housing halves fastened to each other, only one of which is shown in Fig. 3.
  • the housing 20 forms interiorly a support surface 21 formed as a circle arc, for the hose portion 22.
  • the support surface 21 is suitably generally semi-circular and merges into tan- gentially directed support surface parts 23.
  • the pump members 18 are arranged on a carrier 24, which is driven in rotation around the axle 19.
  • the pump members 18 suitably have the character of roll- ers or pulleys, which are rotationally arranged around axles 25 on the carrier 24.
  • the pump members 18 When the carrier 24 rotates, the pump members 18 will, in the area of one of the tangential support surface parts 23, get in contact, in a successive way, with the hose portion 22, so that the hose portion is squeezed together.
  • Continued rotation of the carrier 24 in the di ⁇ rection of the arrow in Fig. 3 means that the place for squeezing to ⁇ gether of the hose will be displaced forwardly so that the substance existing in the hose at the same time also will be displaced for- wardly.
  • the hose once again expands behind the place of squeezing together, so that the result becomes a transport of the substance in the direction of the arrows 26.
  • the number of pump members 18 is so large, in practice at least two, that when one of the pump members gets out of the squeezing engagement with the hose portion 22, the other pump member shall already have gone into squeezing co-operation with the hose portion, i.e. that independently of the position of the pump members 18 there shall never be present any free passage back- wardly past the pump arrangement 7 in a direction towards the container 3.
  • This also means a relatively stable holding of pressure downstream of the pump arrangement 7.
  • the conduit 6 is in one single material piece, preferably one single continuos hose piece, all the way from an end portion 27 which is intended for being connected to the container 3 to the opposite end portion 28 which is intended for connection to the dispensing unit 1.
  • the hose portion, which is subjected to influence in the pump arrangement 7, is in ⁇ tended to be fixed relative to the housing 20 by means of suitable clamps 29.
  • connection element 30 comprises a cutting member 31 adapted to cut through a closure 32 arranged on the container 3.
  • This closure has the purpose to keep the substance present in the container her- metically separated from the ambient atmosphere after filling of the container for the purpose of avoiding decomposition of the sub- stance.
  • the closure 32 is protected by a cover 33 placed on the connection tube piece 34 which is de ⁇ signed in one piece with the container 3.
  • the closure 32 is intended to be located across the mouth of the tube piece 34 in connection with production and/or filling of the container 3.
  • the connection element 30 comprises a tubular section 35 intended for connection to the conduit 6 and a further tubular portion 36, at the outer end of which the cutting member 31 is arranged.
  • the device comprises an interme ⁇ diate part 37 which is applicable to the container.
  • the intermediate part may comprise an internally threaded mantle adapted to engage with an external thread on the connecting tube piece 34 of the container.
  • the intermediate part 37 comprises, fur- thermore, a tube piece 54, which defines an internal passage for receiving the tubular portion 36 of the connecting element 30, said portion 36 being provided with the cutting member.
  • the inter ⁇ mediate part 37 forms a sleeve, which comprises at least one in ⁇ ternal and annular sealing member 55 adapted to seal against the exterior of the tube portion 36 of the connecting element.
  • the sealing members 55 suitably have the character of o-rings or the like, disposed in groves in the internal wall of the tube piece 54. It is preferred that these sealing members 55 are appreciably axially separated from each other. More specifically, one of the sealing members is located relatively close to the connecting tube piece 34 of the container 3, as viewed when the sleeve 37 is placed on the container 3, whereas the second sealing member will be located at the extreme end of the tube piece 54.
  • the transport cover 33 is removed and instead the intermediate part or sleeve 37 is applied.
  • the connecting element 30 is then manoeu- vered so that its tubular portion 36 enters into the tube piece 54 and finally cuts through the closure 32 by means of the cutting member 31 located at the extreme end of the tube portion 36.
  • At least one of the sealing members 55 is located on the interme ⁇ diate part 37 such that the tube portion 36 of the connection ele ⁇ ment enters into sealing co-operation with the connecting member in question before the cutting member 31 of the tube portion cuts through the closure 32.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 there is illustrated an example on the design of the dispensing unit 1.
  • the flexible tube 5 has such a diameter and such a length that it becomes possible to comfortably grip with the hand and possible to squeeze together in the way which is diagrammati- cally indicated in Fig 7.
  • the tube 5 can at the top be connected in a suitable way known per se, e.g. by means of a clamping ring 39, to a connection piece 38, which presents a tube piece, on which the conduit end 28 is threaded.
  • a piece 40 connected to the tube 5, said piece forming at its lower end the discharge opening 4.
  • the valve arrangement 2 is ar ⁇ ranged at the lower part of the tube 5 and as close to the discharge opening as possible.
  • the valve arrangement 2 has the character of a non-return valve designed to close a passage 41 between the interior of the tube 5 and the discharge opening 4 when the tube 5 is unaffected by the operator, but when the operator grips around the tube 5 and squeezes it together, the increase of pressure thereby arising causes a total pressure in the tube 5 composed, on one hand, by the pressure of the pump arrangement 7 and, on the other hand, by the pressure of the hand of the operator on the tube 5, and this total pressure is intended to be able to overcome the force from elastic return means 42, which tend to respectively hold the valve ar- rangement in and bring it back to a closing state. This, accordingly, gives rise to opening of the valve arrangement and the substance may consequently flow through towards the discharge opening 4.
  • valve arrangement 2 is formed by a ball valve, which presents a valve housing 43, in which the passage 41 is de ⁇ signed.
  • the valve seat is formed, against which the ball 44 is intended to bear.
  • the elastic return means 42 here have the character of a helical spring affecting the valve ball
  • valve arrangement 2 comprises a plural ⁇ ity of valve members 45, which are adapted to each other to, in a first relative state (Fig. 8), stop flow past the valve means and, in a second relative state (Fig. 9), open for such flow.
  • valve members are four in number but this is not anything binding for the concept of the invention.
  • Elastic return means are provided for affecting the valve members
  • These return means can for example be formed by an elastic member 46 extending around the valve mem ⁇ bers 45 and fastened in relation to the flexible tube 5 or the end piece 40.
  • the elastic member 46 around the valve members 45 has the char ⁇ acter of a ring shaped sleeve, which grips around the valve mem ⁇ bers and squeezes them radially inwardly into bearing against each other. Accordingly, the elastic member 46 will counteract the valve means 45 or parts thereof from moving radially outwardly, i.e. away from each other.
  • the elastic member 46 and the valve members 45 can present portions engaging with each other in order to obtain mutual determination of position. These portions have the character of projections/recesses.
  • recesses 47 Fig. 10
  • a protection 48 fitting into the recesses 47.
  • the latter can for instance commonly form a circular groove, in which case the projection 48 on the elastic member 46 is formed by a ring-shaped bead extending inwardly.
  • the valve members 45 lie, in a closing position, against each other along bearing surfaces 49 and the valve members are arranged so as to rock, on opening, against each other, so that their ends 50 lo- cated downstream as seen in the discharge direction, move away from each other (see Fig. 9).
  • the ends of the valve members lo ⁇ cated upstream are arranged to sidewardly bear against each other while the valve members rock in relation to each other.
  • adjacent valve means 5 can engage with each other via form looking members, e.g. projections/pins 51 and recesses 52.
  • every single valve member 45 may present a pin 51 for engaging in adjacent valve members and furthermore a recess 52 intended to fit together with a pin of the other adjacent valve member.
  • valve members 45 form in their closing position a cross sec- tionally generally circular configuration. Each single valve member forms a circle sector of this circular configuration.
  • valve members 45 In their closing position the valve members 45 commonly form a channel 53, which at the upstream ends of the valve members emerges into the tube 5 but which stops before the downstream ends 50 of the valve members, which ends in said closing position form a tight closure by bearing against each other.
  • This channel 53 is, as is most clearly apparent from Fig. 10, formed by each one of the valve members comprising an inwardly located recess, which, however, stops before the lower ends of the valve members.
  • valve members 45 are so designed, that over pressure in relation to the surroundings and present in the flexible tube 5 tends to affect the valve members in opening direc ⁇ tion but that this affection is intended to be overcome by the elastic member 46 as long as the flexible tube 5 is not affected by the op- erator, i.e. that the elastic member 46 is capable of holding the valve arrangement 2 closed as long as it is the pump arrangement 7 which defines the pressure inside the tube 5.
  • the effect of the member 46 is intended to be overcome, so that the valve arrangement opens by the valve members rocking or pivoting according to what is indicated in Fig. 9.
  • the member 46 brings back the valve mem ⁇ bers to closing position.
  • the elastic member 46 is secured to the flexible tube 5 or to the end piece 40 in an arbitrary way.
  • the container 3 which, in view of its bag ⁇ like character in the following will be denominated "bag", is sus ⁇ pended on a carrier generally denoted 56.
  • the suspension device in general also comprises a carrying member 57 adapted to carry ⁇ ingly engage with an upper edge portion 58 of the bag 3 (see also Figs. 11 and 12) in such a manner that the carrying forces are ap ⁇ plied relatively evenly distributed along this upper edge portion of the bag.
  • the carrier 56 comprises means 59, 60 for supporting the carrying member 57.
  • the carrying member 57 is designed as an elongated rod.
  • the bag 3 comprises at its upper edge portion 58 a socket 61 for receiving the rod. This socket 61 is delimited by flexible material portions 62 included in the bag.
  • the interior of the socket 61 is separated from the interior 63 of the bag 3 intended for the flowing substance by means of a joint 64, in particular a weld, extending along the edge portion 58 of the bag, said joint uniting two material layers 65 included in the bag.
  • the bag 3 is formed by two material layers 65 and 62 respectively laid on each other and that these material layers are mutually connected by the joint or weld 64 al- ready meantioned and also by an upper joint or weld 66 along the uppermost edge of the bag and in addition also by means of joints or welds 67, 68 along the rest of the peripherical circumference of the bag.
  • the socket 61 must of course be open at its ends and for this pur- pose one or both of said material layers 62 is/are cut out so that the rod 57 may be threaded into the socket 61 and pass entirely through the same, so that the end portions of the rod project out ⁇ wardly beyond the ends of the socket 61 as appears in Fig. 1 by means of the numbers 69 and 70 respectively denoting the ends of the rods.
  • the carrier 56 comprises support members for the end portions of the rod 57. These support members are formed by the previously mentioned means 59 and 60 respectively.
  • the support member 59 may for example define an opening, through which the end 69 of the rod 57 is intended to be moved whereas the other support member 60 may have the character of a hook, on which the other end 70 of the rod 57 is placable.
  • the rod 57 and carrier 56 are designed to interact for restricting movement of the rod in its longitudinal direction relative to the car ⁇ rier 56 when the rod is placed on the carrier.
  • These restriction means may in a simple embodiment be formed by a circumferencial groove 71 in the rod 57. This groove 71 should have such a width that the support member or hook 60 may be received in the groove in order to achieve the restriction of movement.
  • the rod 57 introduced into the socket 61 will carry the bag 3 along its upper edge portion in a relatively even manner, so that the bag during the entire discharge phase is pre ⁇ sent in an adequate position and will not hang down more or less obliquely, which could jeopardise the adequacy of the substance discharge.
  • the carrier 56 comprises carrying elements 72 for car ⁇ rying the pump arrangement 7.
  • the pump arrangement 7 is illustrated secured to these carrying elements by means of screws or similar 73 passing through the housing of the pump arrangement and holes provided in the carrying elements 72.
  • These carrying elements 72 are, more specifically, so located on the carrier 56 that the pump arrangement 7 becomes located in front of the bag 3.
  • the carrying elements 72 extend forwardly from a rear frame of the carrier 56.
  • the bag 3 will be lo ⁇ cated between this rear frame and the pump arrangement 7. From this follows that the carrying element 72 will extend above the up- per edge portion of the bag 3.
  • That part of the conduit 6 which is intended for connection between the bag 3 and the pump arrangement 7 will extend, as appears from Fig. 1 , downwardly from the pump arrangement 7 to the discharge opening or connecting tube piece 34 of the bag. It is desirable that the length of the conduit between the pump arrangement 7 and dis ⁇ charge opening of the bag is as short as possible. On the other hand the length should be sufficient for convenient connection of the conduit to the bag by bending the flexible conduit.
  • the location of the pump arrangement 7 relative to the bag defined by the de ⁇ sign of the carrier 56 becomes very practical in this way if the pump arrangement is located in front of the bag in the area of its upper part, as viewed when the bag is suspended in the carrier.
  • the con ⁇ necting element 30 has been designed so that the angle between its tube portions 35 and 36 is so much smaller than a right angle that the tube portion 36 will extend substantially coaxially with the tube piece 54 of the intermediate part 37 assuming of course that the conduit section between the pump arrangement 7 and the con ⁇ necting tube piece 34 has an adequately adjusted length. In this way the coupling of the conduit 6 to the bag 3 is considerably simplified.
  • the carrier 56 is as indicated in Fig.
  • This guide arrangement may for example comprise two guide elements 74, each comprising a base part 75 to be secured to a suitable ba ⁇ sis, for instance by means of securing members such as screws or the like, passing through holes 76 in the base part.
  • Each guide element 74 comprises at least two parts guidedly displaceably movable relative to each other, namely in addition to the base part 75 at least one further part 77 (in the example there is a third in ⁇ termediate part 78).
  • the part 77 and the carrier 56 comprise co-op ⁇ erating engagement members 79 for attaching or suspending the carrier 56 on the parts 77.
  • engagement members may for instance have the character of hooks or latches, one embodiment possibility being to provide hooks on respective parts 77, on which hooks portions of the carrier 56 are intended to be hooked-on.
  • the attachment may of course also occur by means of screws or other suitable securing means.
  • the guide arrangement 73 makes the carrier 56 with appendant bag 3 and pump arrangement 7 to be displaceable back and forth in a direction which is generally parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rod 57 when the rod is placed on the carrier 56.
  • This displace- ability may generally speaking serve for enabling movement of the carrier 56 between a normal, retracted operational position and a projected position, for instance for change of bag 3.
  • a preferable example on an installation is that the base parts 75 could be se ⁇ cured to the inner wall in a cabinet so that the carrier 56 in one position would be intended to be located within the cabinet and in an other position be drawn out of the same for change of bag.
