Abstract

A device for tapping a liquid foodstuff consisting of a double-walled keg (1) and a tap installation, the keg (1) being formed by a non- def ormable outer container (28) with a deformable inner container (37) therein, which can contain the liquid foodstuff to be tapped, the inner and outer containers (37, 38) being connected gas-tight with one another and the tap installation being mounted on the outer container (28) and reaching into the interior of the inner container (37), wherein and the device includes means for bringing the pressure in the space between the outer container (28) and the inner container (37) to a desired level and maintaining it without intervention from outside the keg.

Claims

1 AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 30 March 2011 (30.03.2011) Claims
1. - A device for tapping a liquid foodstuff that mainly consists of a double-walled keg (1) and a tap installation, the double-walled keg (1) being formed by a non-deformable outer container (28) with a deformable inner container (37) therein, which can contain the liquid foodstuff to be tapped, the inner and outer containers (37, 38) being connected gas-tight with one another and the tap installation being mounted on the outer container (28) and reaching into the interior of the inner container (37) and being suited for tapping the liquid foodstuff there from, wherein the device includes means that make it possible to bring the pressure in the space between the outer container (28) and the inner container (37) to equal or below the ambient pressure and that the device includes means for bringing and maintaining the pressure in the space between the outer container (28) and the inner container (37) to a desired level without intervention from outside the keg.
2. - The device according to claim 1, wherein the non- deformable outer container (28) consists of at least two parts (2,3) that are connected gas-tight with each other. 3. The device according to claim 2, wherein the parts (2,
3) of which the outer container (28) consists are detachably connected gas tight with each other. 2
4. - The device according to claims 2 or 3, wherein the parts (2,3) of which the outer container consists are mounted on each other with a screw connection.
5. - The device according to one of claims 2-4, wherein a spacer (4) can be mounted between the parts (2,3) of which the outer container (28) consists.
6. - The device according to one of the claims 2-5, wherein at least one of the parts (2,3) of which the non-deformable container (28) consists is produced with a metal or plastic injection moulding technique.
7 - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein it includes means for setting the maximum tap flow rate .
8. - The device according to claim 7, wherein the means for setting the maximum tap flow rate include an adjustable stop, by means of which the maximum degree of opening of the beverage valve (40) can be set.
9. - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the inner container (37) is made replaceable.
10. - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the non-deformable outer container (28) possesses an upper (6) and a lower (7) that are made so that the upper edge (6) of one keg (1) partly fits into the lower edge (7) of a similar keg (1) . 3
11. The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the outer container (28) is provided with one or more parallel cross bands or reinforcing rings that are capable of absorbing shocks and limiting permanent deformations .
12. - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the means for maintaining and controlling the pressure in the space between the outer container (28) and the inner container (37, 38) without intervention from outside the keg (1) include a cartridge (32) with a gas under pressure, provided with an automatic control valve (34) .
13. - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the desired level of the pressure in the space between the outer container (28) and the inner container (37) can be adjusted by making the automatic control valve (340 replaceable.
14.- The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the cartridge with gas under pressure (32) is filled with C02.
15. - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the means that make it possible to bring the pressure in the space between the outer container (28) and the inner container (37) equal to or under the ambient pressure include a closable passage, along which gas can be drawn from the space. 4
16. - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the tap installation consists of at least one pressure unit (10, 21), a valve system (46), a distributing line (14), and a dip tube (39), that reaches to below the deformable inner container (37) and this is removable from the outer container (37).
17. - The device according to claim 16, wherein the means that make it possible to bring the pressure in the space between the outer container (28) and the inner container (37) equal to or under the ambient pressure are part of the valve system (46) .
18, - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the means for bringing the pressure in the space between the outer container (28) and the inner container
(37) without intervention from outside the keg (1) to a desired level and maintaining it are attached to a neck
(38) that includes the valve system.
19. - The device according to claim 18, wherein the deformable inner container (37) is attached to the neck (38) .
20. - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the keg (1) is provided with an electronic circuit, for example in the form of a chip or the like.
21, - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein at least one part of the components of the device 5
that can come in contact with the liquid foodstuff is made of silicone rubber.
22. - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the tap installation does not require open space above it in order to operate it, and it must be able to be operated from a side edge of the device.
23. - The device according to claim 22, wherein the keg includes a protective contour (9) and the tap installation sticks out less above the fixed outer container (28) than the protective contour (9).
24. - The device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the liquid foodstuff is a beverage.
25. - The device according to claim 24, wherein the liquid foodstuff is a beverage that contains fruit juice.
26. - The device according to claim 24, wherein the liquid foodstuff is a beverage that contains milk or a milk product .
27. - The device according to claim 24, wherein the liquid foodstuff is a soft drink.
28. - The device according to claim 24, wherein the liquid foodstuff is beer.
