CLOSURE ASSEMBLY

DESCRIPTION

Field of the Invention

The closure assembly and the refrigerated device for the use thereof of the present invention find a particular application in the commercialization and service of liquids, especially in those whose characteristics and / or organoleptic properties recommend avoiding the contact of the liquid with the air to its greater and better conservation, as well as its service at a certain temperature and / or a certain volume at the user's choice. This system is specially designed for liquids susceptible to human consumption such as wines, juices, concentrates, beer, spirits or not, water, milkshakes, dairy products, drinkable yogurts, soft drinks, carbonated drinks, infusions or others whose characteristics and / or properties recommend , well the deprivation of contact with the air, well a control of refrigerated.

Background of the invention

In recent years, numerous studies focused on improving liquid dispensing systems have been carried out. Especially, the studies carried out to improve the tightness of these systems, the control of the spill, the cooling of the liquid contained in the container and its correct maintenance, avoiding the oxygenation and / or degradation of the liquid that is intended to be dispensed, stand out. The oxygenation and / or degradation of the liquid is of great interest in the case of beverages such as wine, dairy products, concentrated juices, etc., which are highly exposed to degradation when oxygen is allowed inside the package.

There are numerous types of containers for storing liquids such as bottles, cans, plastic containers or those commonly known as "bag-in-box ™" and "tetra-brick ™". The "bag-in-box ™" and / or "tetra-brick ™" offer important advantages to final consumers such as the longevity of the packaged product once used for the first time and the strength of the package, apart from the benefits it provides in relation to logistics. These containers can be used to store a wide variety of liquids, typical examples of these liquids are: water, milk, juices, wine or other food liquids. Traditionally, the container used to dispense wine is ootenas ae cristal with a seal or stopper that prevents exposure of the liquid to the air, preventing oxidation. When the wine bottle is opened, the content is exposed to the air, and therefore, to oxidation, degrading the characteristics of the wine.

Thus, in the prior art some closure systems, dispensing dispensers and / or refrigerated dispensing devices are known, such as the following:

WO201 1/007042 refers to a device with a drain hole, a spreading mechanism and a cooling element. The dispensing device (1) has a beverage receptacle (2) with holes (200) in the base thereof, sealed with valves (3), a support base (4) that supports the receptacle, scanning mechanisms (5) for opening the valves and a cooling element mounted between the container and the support. Therefore in this case the liquid is in contact with the air and the container (2) is not airtight, besides e! liquid must be poured into said container from another container, and the device cannot be used in any commercial container or container existing on the market, but must be passed from the container to the container.

Document FR2894952 refers to a refrigerated beverage dispenser with removable container. The dispenser has a support (3) made of insulating, expanded plastic material, and comprising a recess (31) for receiving a container (2) containing a cold drink. An ice box (32) is removably integrated with a coil equipped with an inlet (41) and an opening outlet (44) above a glass slot (34). The input is connected to an outlet of the container. The support has a cover (7) that covers the groove (31), the box, the inlet passage and the outlet nozzle. The support has a handle that passes over the groove (31). In this dispenser, commercial containers cannot be used but a specific container that adapts to the shape of the hole (31) and the nozzle that connects to the coil must be used.

Document DE10061989 refers to a cooling system, whose operation is based on the partial immersion of a solid cooling element in the liquid to be cooled. The device has a cooling body (2) for at least a partial immersion in the liquid (1), where the cooling body has a hollow chamber (3) for the introduction of a cooling medium. The liquid is cooled by the expansion of the cooling medium. The cooling body has a connection (4) for the introduction of a cooling medium and a nozzle (5) and / or the regulator for the medium. In this case, the refrigeration device is introduced into the container and although it can be valid for any commercial container, it is necessary to first open the container to introduce it into the device and therefore the system ceases to be airtight when the liquid has contact with the ambient.

Document FR2620693 refers to a beverage dispensing apparatus and refrigerated through the introduction of bottles into a receptacle. fridge. In this dispenser drinks can be consumed at chosen temperatures, having a main presentation unit where drinks and inverted syringes are introduced that pass through the lid of the container to allow the liquid to flow directly, while retaining its properties. The air inlet is achieved by drilling the bottom of the bottle that is carried out through an appropriate form. In this case an additional element, the syringes, is necessary to proceed to the dispensing of the liquid inside the package. On the other hand, the plug needs to be pierced and some outside air always enters and the tightness conditions of the container are lost at the time the plug is pierced

The patent JP2004051112 refers to a system for dispensing and cooling drinks through the introduction of gas into the container containing the liquid to be dispensed. In this case, the dispensing system has a head in which the mouth of the beverage container to be dispensed is located, said head has a very complex system to achieve airtightness and it is also necessary to pierce the lid of the container, with the problems of spilling liquids into the system that this may entail. In addition to introducing a gas inside the container can "contaminate" the liquid.

JP2008 95406 refers to a liquid cooling and dosing system through the introduction of the container into an apparatus, the liquid being served thanks to the force of gravity. For the dosing a flexible tube is provided that is sealed by a rotating cam-like element, therefore a complex mechanical system for dosing is necessary.

The apparatus has a drinking water storage unit (1), a water supply system (2) capable of introducing the drinking water into a drinking cup (4) from the drinking water storage unit (1), and an antimicrobial element (100) provided in the drinking water supply system (2), This device does not have cooling means and the dispensing means are not airtight, it only has filter media against bacteria and other microorganisms.

The utility model ES1069328U refers to a tap for dispensing liquid stored in a bottle, placing said bottle in an inverted position. It is an additional element that attaches to the bottle once it is open, so it is lost tightness and also does not have cooling media.

Utility model ES1071260U refers to a device for refrigerated storage and dispensing of beverages in "bag in box ™" containers. It does not have airtight dispensing means, it is only [imitated a refrigerated container for this type of packaging, nor It has temperature or volume control.

The utility model ES1065141 U refers to an air conditioning cabinet with a wine server device by glasses, consisting of a sprat that is introduced into the bottle and that through the introduction of gas into the bottle promotes the pouring. Therefore the server device needs the introduction of a gas for the liquid discharge. Having to open the bottle to be used in the closet does not guarantee tightness or tightness. Document ES265671 refers to a drum for wine with a tap which does not have refrigeration means and needs to be refilled, therefore not being airtight and unable to use commercial containers.

Document ES 0731 2U refers to a device for dispensing packaged product consisting of a "tap". The tightness and tightness of the container, nor the control of the flow rate is not guaranteed! of discharge.

Document ES1022084U refers to a device for the maintenance of the characteristics of wine stored in bottles or container containers, and which consists of the introduction of a valve in the wine bottle by connecting it to a nitrogen cylinder that, when activated, allows extraction of wine and its service by introducing nitrogen into the bottle. Therefore it is necessary to introduce gas into the container that could spoil the liquid contained in the bottle and the system is not airtight anymore, since it is necessary to open the bottle to be used by the device.

WO2006051569 refers to a hermetic tap for dispensing liquids from a container. This patent deals with a tap designed for bag-in-box containers and its adaptation to other types of containers is not contemplated, as it does not allow its inclusion in a refrigerated and dispensed system with flow and temperature control. The patent WO2009134146 registered in the name of the same applicant incorporates as an innovation a system that records the level of liquid in the container, requiring sensors and a fairly complex electronic system.

WO201212692 refers to a system for the storage and dispensing of wine. The system contains a barrel-shaped container with a spigot and is intended to dispense wine from a kind of large wine skin to which the spigot is connected. The system has no means of cooling and temperature control and is not airtight since the spigot has to "prick" the skin of wine, it also does not serve to commercial packaging

WO2011017400 refers to the packaging of the system called "bag in box ™", in a cardboard box. It does not have airtight dispensing means, it is only limited to an uncooled container for this type of packaging, nor does it have temperature or volume control.

WO2011117477 refers to a faucet with delayed closure. The tap has a piston and a valve, it is an additional element to a commercial container such as a bottle and has a complex system to control the volume of liquid discharged, it also does not have cooling means.

WO2004052772 refers to a liquid dispensing valve by manual pressure of the valve. The internal configuration of the valve is very complex because it has large numbers of passages to achieve the dispensing of the liquid, it also has an actuator that must be tightened every time you want to dispense the liquid, so the dispensing of the liquid never It is continuous and depends on how many times the actuator is pressed, the system cannot be used for any commercial container only for some specific ones that are flexible.

WO2006030465 refers to a liquid dispensing cap and the method of manufacturing it. It is intended for "bag in box" type containers. It has an elongated cylindrical body (3) equipped with an end (7) comprising cam means (9) and a flat support element (11) and a plug (14) comprising a cylindrical end (.15) and a drive button (16) operatively connected to the body (3).

The support body (3) is inserted into the elastic container and performs a complete seal and prevents spillage of liquids out of the container thanks to the elasticity of the container into which it is inserted. Therefore it is necessary to perforate the container or the lid thereof with the problems of contamination and little tightness that this entails. In addition, the plug is of a complex constitution with quite a few components and no cooling means are provided.

WO2007059083 refers to a dispensing valve for liquids stored under pressure. It is provided at one end of the actuator of the valve body and operatively connected to a plunger, with the opposite end of the plunger engaging a one-way retaining assembly that serves to open and close at least one valve orifice opening. Therefore, it is a pump-type valve or plug that requires a pressure on the actuator in order to dispense the liquid, so that the dispensing of the liquid is never continuous and depends on how many times the actuator is pressed. The system cannot be used for any commercial container only for some specific ones. In addition, the plug is of a complex constitution having enough components and no cooling means are provided.

WO2007119251 refers to a lid for packaging with a guarantee seal. It is a simple sealing cap with seal whose seal is broken when the container is opened. It has no means of controlling the volume discharged and cannot be used for any commercial container only for some specific ones. In addition, the plug is of a complex constitution having enough components and no cooling means are provided.

The patent ES2219134A1 refers to a device for the supply of liquids for human consumption, said system requires gravity for the supply and is characterized for packaging of! type "bag in box ™", which does not have control of manual and / or automatic spillage, which requires different volumes for the spillage of the liquid, which does not allow the replacement of the container until its complete depletion, where the tightness and tightness is not guaranteed, as well as the need to be pressed for liquid dispensing.

Other documents related to the invention are: ES2344422T3 describes a liquid dispensing tap for elastic containers. Patent ES2375939 refers to a tap for dosing viscous liquids. The ES2308526T3 patent is a supply tap for "bag in box ™" containers and the ES2266618T3 patent refers to a connection for liquid taps. Document ES2140229T3 refers to a tap for the distribution of liquids whose novelty is the automatic closing when the actuation is stopped pressing for the discharge. The patent ES2303160T3 refers to a connection for a tap of a vessel of the "bag in box ™" type, whose main feature is the need to hold down an automatic tap as mentioned above. Thus, there are different types of faucets, closures, refrigeration cabinets, such as the one shown in US20070245765 which refers to a refrigerating cabinet, US20110253746 which refers to a cabinet to introduce containers to be cooled, and solutions for closures dispensers such as those shown in patent documents ES 2338577 T3, ES 2375939 T3 and ES 2214841 T3.

For all these reasons, the need to design a closure set, dispenser for all types of liquid container containers has been detected, which guarantees airtightness, allows flow control without preset positions, without requiring the user to operate continuously the system or require pressure on the container, and which in turn can be connected directly to a refrigerated device with temperature and flow control that uses said closure set, which allows the replacement of the container without requiring that the product is depleted and keep at all times the liquid contained inside the container at the desired temperature.

This objective is achieved by means of the invention as defined in independent claims 1 and 7. Preferred embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

Description of the invention

A first main object of the invention relates to a closure assembly, dispenser for all types of liquid container packages comprising a hollow cylindrical female cap, into which a hollow cylindrical male cap is inserted, which has the same axis. of revolution than the female cap and has the possibility of relative rotation with respect to said female cap and whose interior determines the liquid outlet opening. The closure assembly object of the present invention has the particularity that the female cap comprises a body which is inserted into the container container and a ring which is located outside the container container, where on the periphery of the body are arranged at least two through holes with axes perpendicular to the axis of revolution of the female plug, angularly offset from each other, with respect to said axis of revolution, a certain angular amount and where on the front face of the ring they are arranged, perpendicularly to said front face, at least two angularly offset stops, with respect to the through holes.

For its part, the male cap comprises a body that is inserted into the body of the female cap and an outer ring that is inserted into the ring of the female cap, where at least two through holes with axes perpendicular to the body are arranged on the periphery of the body. axis of revolution of the female cap, which connect with the liquid outlet opening and have the same angular offset as the through holes of the female cap, and where, in the peripheral wall of the ring, they are arranged, perpendicularly to said peripheral wall, to the minus two angularly offset stops, approximately 90 ° with respect to the through holes.

Therefore, the closure assembly can adopt two positions, an opening position in which the through holes of the female cap are in communication with the through holes of the male cap, communicating the inside of the container with the liquid outlet opening, being in contact with the stops of the female plug with the stops of the male plug and a closed position in which the communication between the through holes of the female plug and the through holes of the male plug is interrupted, the stops of the female plug being angularly offset approximately 90 °, with respect to the stops of the male plug, regulating the discharge flow between the opening position and the position of closure, without predetermined positions, by simple gradual rotation between the female cap and the male cap.

Thanks to the described configuration of the components that are part of the present closure assembly, the following advantages are obtained.

First, a closure assembly adaptable to the dispensing of any type of liquid is obtained, especially those whose characteristics and / or organoleptic properties recommend its tightness and temperature control.

In addition, the closure assembly guarantees the tightness and tightness of the container at all times, thus guaranteeing the preservation of the liquid, since thanks to its constitution at no time there is contact between the liquid contained in the container and the atmosphere. The closure assembly, in addition, constitutes a closing, opening, dispenser-dispenser system applicable to any type of packaging without the need for perforation thereof. There is also no need to introduce gas or other element into the enjase to dispense the liquid and therefore it is avoided that there may be contamination of the liquid contained in the container.

Another of the most important advantages of the present closure set is that it allows the control of liquid spillage automatically and / or manually allowing the choice of the flow level to be poured at any time, without preset positions and without the need to keep the set or container. In addition, given its particular constitution, it allows its incorporation into an automatic dispensing device with temperature and discharge control.

With the closure assembly object of the present invention, no additional element is necessary for the dispensing of the liquid, since the assembly acts as a closure cap and as a dispenser at the same time.

Finally, with the present closure assembly there is no need to deplete the liquid to be dispensed or to change the container without breaking its tightness and therefore the liquid is never exposed to air. In addition, there is also no need to keep the assembly for the dispensing of the liquid operated, or to exert pressure on the container for said dispensing.

In a first aspect of the invention, about e! The female plug body can be inserted, by pressure, a coupling mouth of the assembly to the container container. The mouthpiece may have an annular shape and shall have a support base with one end of said mouthpiece, an intermediate outer ring and an outer ring arranged at the opposite end of the mouth of the mouth. In this way, the closure set will be applicable to any type of existing container in the market with only varying the embouchure shape. In addition, the base, which is larger in diameter than the intermediate ring and end ring, serves to push the closure assembly in order to facilitate its assembly in the package, during the packaging process.

In another aspect of the invention, the mouthpiece may have a plurality of parallel and equidistant annular throats, practiced on the inner wall thereof. For its part, the body of the female cap may have, on its outer wall, a plurality of parallel and equidistant projections, each of which fits respectively into the annular throats of the mouth. In this way, solidarity between the two elements is guaranteed, the mouthpiece and the female plug, restricting all the relative degrees of freedom between them, whether they are displacements or turns.

In another aspect of the invention, the female cap may have operating indications on the outer face of the ring in positions coinciding with the positions of the stops. In this way the user is helped to handle the closure assembly.

In yet another aspect of the invention, the male plug can be inserted, by pressure, into the female cap tightly, including O-rings between them configured to allow relative rotation between the two without loss of tightness. Thus, although there is relative rotation between both elements, female plug and male plug, the connection between the two is at all times watertight and hermetic thanks to the aforementioned O-rings.

A second main object of the invention relates to a refrigerated dispensing device with temperature and flow control that uses a closure, dispenser-dispenser assembly for all types of liquid container containers, which comprises a hollow cylindrical female cap in which a hollow cylindrical male cap is inserted, which has the same axis of revolution as the female cap and has the possibility of relative rotation with respect to said female cap and whose interior determines the liquid outlet opening.

The device has the peculiarity that in the closure assembly used the female cap comprises a body which is inserted into the container and a ring which is located outside the container, where the periphery of the body is arranged at the at least two through holes with axes perpendicular to the axis of revolution of the female cap, angularly offset from each other, with respect to said axis of revolution, a certain angular amount and where on the front face of the ring they are arranged, perpendicularly to said front face, to the minus two angularly offset stops, with respect to the through holes.

In addition, the male cap comprises a body that is inserted into the body of the female cap and an outer ring which is inserted into the ring of the female cap, where at the periphery of the body there are at least two through holes with axes perpendicular to the axis of revolution of the female cap, which connect with the liquid outlet opening and have the same angular offset as the through holes of the female cap, and where in the peripheral wall of the ring are arranged, perpendicularly to said peripheral wall, at least two angularly offset stops, approximately 90 ° with respect to the through holes.

Therefore, the closure assembly adopts an opening position in which the through holes of the female stopper are in communication with the through holes of the male stopper, communicating the inside of the container with the liquid outlet opening, the stops being in contact. of the female plug with the stops of the male plug and a closed position in which the communication between the through holes of the female stopper and the through holes of the male stopper is interrupted, the female stopper stops being angularly offset with respect to the stops of the male cap, regulating the discharge flow between the opening position and the closing position, without predetermined positions, by simple gradual rotation between the female cap and the male cap.

Therefore, the device will have all the aforementioned advantages when it is possible to use the closure, dispenser-dispenser assembly for all types of liquid container packages which is also the object of the present invention.

The refrigerated dispensing device with temperature and flow control comprises the following components:

An outer casing, which comprises at least one inner cabin in which at least one container container filled with liquid is inserted in an inverted position, which has a closure, dispenser-dispenser assembly in its mouth.

Means for driving the liquid contained inside the container container.

Liquid distribution means from the drive means.

Means for dispensing the liquid outside the dispensing device.

Cooling means of at least one interior cabin.

Means for regulating, monitoring and controlling the temperature inside the at least one interior cabin.

With the constitution described, a refrigerated dosing device is available, in which the refrigeration is applied directly on the container located in the insulated cabin where said container is placed, without requiring that the container has been previously refrigerated, nor the liquid has been transferred from another container.

Additionally, the liquid discharge circuit of the present device, by collaborating with the closure assembly described above, guarantees the tightness and tightness in all moment avoiding the contact of the liquid contained in the container with the outside, until the moment in which it is going to be served. In addition, the dispensing device will allow the replacement of the container at the user's choice without depleting the product and without breaking the hermetic and tight chain, that is, without rusting the liquid.

On the other hand, the refrigeration is applied directly to the container, not having to introduce any body or element in it to be able to cool it, nor refrigerant gases. Finally, you can select the temperature range at which the liquid is cooled and allows automatic dispensing.

In another aspect of the invention, the housing may comprise first lower compartments, a rear compartment and an upper compartment, which will be closed and externally surround the interiors.

In addition, inside each of the rooms, above the first lower compartments, panels parallel to the upper base of the first lower compartments may be arranged which will determine second lower compartments, open frontally, whose panels have openings for introduction. from the mouth of the container container. In this way, through the front opening of the second lower compartment, it will be possible to act on the closure assembly to open or close it and, therefore, allow the other elements of the dispensing device to serve the liquid contained inside the container in the desired temperature conditions.

The liquid delivery means may comprise mechanical mini-pumps located in the first lower compartments, which will have nozzles protruding from the upper base of said first lower compartments, through openings, the respective closure assemblies of said nozzles being fitted in said nozzles. container containers arranged in the cabins. Thanks to the aforementioned pumps, the liquid can be propelled from inside the container to the rest of the means of the refrigerated dispensing device of the invention.

In another aspect of the invention, the dispensing means may consist of liquid outlet taps, being located on both sides of the housing, at the height of the upper compartment thereof. In addition, the distribution means may comprise channels ranging from the mechanical mini-pumps to the taps through the first lower compartments, the rear compartment and the upper compartment

Therefore, the liquid that comes from the distribution ducts reaches the outlet taps, that is to the outside of the container and therefore there is no contact of the liquid with the atmosphere until the liquid is served by the user. In another aspect, the cooling means may be selected from thermoelectric cooling means with Peltier cells, compression means or a combination of both and are arranged in the rear compartment. What these refrigerators will do is to lower the temperature inside the rooms where the container containers of the liquid to be served will be placed and keep said temperature low at the desired temperature at all times.

On the other hand, the means of regulation, supervision and control of the temperature can be arranged on the front of the upper compartment and will comprise a control knob, regulating buttons and a temperature indicator display inside the rooms, located between both regulating buttons and whose temperature is measured with a temperature sensor located inside the passenger compartment and connected to the indicator display through the opening, located in the lower part of the upper compartment. By means of these means, e! device and regulates, by the user, the temperature that must be inside the rooms.

In a final aspect of the invention, the interiors may have doors with handles and on the sides of the housing, at the height of the upper base of the first lower compartment, trays may be provided for holding containers used in the device. The doors logically allow access to the interior of the device, specifically to the interiors and also serve as a closing element of the device, so that its closure must be as tight as possible and must be well insulated to maintain the temperature inside the aforementioned rooms. On the other hand, the trays are functional elements to help the user when he wants to serve the liquid to the containers from which he is going to drink.

Detailed description of the invention

With reference to the figures, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown and described. It is obvious that numerous variations and modifications can be made, related to the shape, volume, appearance, size, fasteners, grips, stops and / or pieces with functionality equivalent to the present, without departing from the main object of the invention as set out in the ias attached claims.

According to figures 1 to 9, therein is shown a set of closure dispenser-dispenser for all types of containers which contain liquids, which may comprise _one, mouthpiece 1 shown in Figures 2 and 3, the which is attached to a container through a process of heat welding, screwing or other type of joint known, allowing a tight joint between them.

The closure assembly has a female cap 2, represented in figures 4 and 5, integral to the mouth 1 or directly to the container, said female cap 2 being assembled, concentric and coincident therein, to a male cap 3, represented in figure 6. The male cap 3, inserted in the female cap 2, forms an assembly that seals the container tightly and tightly, the male cap 3 being capable of relative rotational movement with respect to the female cap 2, allowing the dispensing and dosing of the packed liquid with flow selection by the user without said flow being preset or set by the system.

Thus, the closure, dispenser-dispenser assembly may comprise a mouth 1, or the assembly of the female plug 2 and the male plug 3 can be mounted directly on the container, without the need to use a mouthpiece 1. The present invention allows the user to regulate the flow rate, since the system has no preset position, when the male plug 3 concentrically rotates with respect to the female plug 2 or vice versa.

Both the mouth 1, as the female cap 2 and the male cap 3 are arranged and assembled so that by turning the male cap 3 with respect to the female cap 2 or vice versa, the opening and closing of the container is allowed, making said closure Hermetic and tight, being able to pour the liquid from the container at the user's will with regulator of the volume of discharge without preset positions. The closure assembly object of the invention can be used in any type of container capable of containing liquids.

The three components of the closure assembly, namely the mouth 1, the female plug 2 and the male plug 3, can be manufactured by injection molding, using as a material, for example, low or high density polyethylene or any other that meets with the characteristics of tightness and tightness and / or current regulations / regulations on food products.

According to the invention, the opening 1, represented in Figures 2 and 3, can comprise a base 4, integral with the package, which can take various shapes, sizes or notches with equivalent functionality to be fixed to the package. Thus, it could be cylindrical for flexible "bag-in-box" ™, square or rectangular containers for "tetrabrick" ™ containers or include notches or threads inside the bottle mouth.

The mouth 1 may comprise an intermediate outer ring 5, located between the base 4 and the upper end of the mouth, which can be used for handling and holding the mouth 1 during its assembly on a container capable of containing liquid, as well as to ensure the guidance of the assembly constituted by the mouth 1, the female plug 2 and the male plug 3, either for manual manipulation or for mechanical manipulation. By way of non-limiting example, it would be useful for a filling machine, especially for fixing the mouth at a constant distance from the filling means. The mouthpiece 1, in addition, can have an outer ring 6 at the upper end opposite the base 4, which can be used as a stop when the connection between mouthpiece 1 is made in the female plug 2, so that the insertion Be the adequate.

As Figure 4 shows, the female plug 2 consists of a hollow cylinder that has a shaft of revolution 41 and which divides a body 42 and a ring 14 of larger diameter than the body 42 into two parts. The body 42 It has at least one hole 13, although in this embodiment it will have two holes, angularly offset from each other, with respect to axis 41, in this case being the 180 ° offset so that both holes face each other and are located diametrically opposed with respect to axis 41, allowing the said through holes 13, the passage of the liquid stored inside the container, depending on the position of the closure-dispenser-dosing assembly. The holes 13 of the body 42 of the female plug 2 can comprise two spherical bodies (not shown) at each of the ends inserted therein with an elastic force between them that pushes them to cover said holes giving the system greater sealing and sealing. when the closure-dispenser-dispenser assembly is in the closed position.

The female cap 2 can comprise, in its external part, different operating indications 15 of the closing-dispenser-dosing assembly, both open (ON), and closed (OFF), such as the flow rate to be poured with the opening movement .

The female plug 2 can have, on the front face 16 of the ring 14, two fixed resistances or stops 17, which take the form of cylinders or any other, whose purpose is to limit the relative rotation of the male plug 3 with respect to the Female plug 2, in fully open or fully closed positions. Specifically, two stops 17 are angularly offset with respect to the through holes 13.

The mounting of the female plug 2 on the mouth 1 is preferably carried out, although not limitedly, by its introduction under pressure, the female plug 2 being crimped in this position with respect to the mouth 1, thanks to a plurality of projections 7 , 8 and 9, parallel and equidistant arranged in the outer wall of the female plug 2 which are fitted in corresponding annular throats 10, 1 1 and 12, also parallel and equidistant, made in the inner face of the mouth 1. The female plug 2 may also contain grooves that allow it to fit inside the container.

In the case of an embodiment in which all of the annular projections 7, 8 and 9 of the outside of the female plug 2 and all of the annular throats 10, 11 and 12 of the interior of the mouth 1 are adjusted accordingly, it remains guaranteed a constant positioning of the mouth 1 with respect to the female plug 1 and a completely sealed and hermetic coupling of a single use. E] male plug 3, shown in Figure 6, consists of a hollow cylinder having the same axis of revolution 41 as the female plug 2 in which it is inserted. The male cap 3 is divided into two parts, a body 22 and a ring 19 of greater diameter than the body 22. The body 22 of the male cap 3 is inserted into the body 42 of the female cap, while the ring 19 of the male cap 3 is partially inserted into the ring 14 of the female cap 2, a portion thereof protruding.

The body 22 of the male plug 3 will have as many through holes 20 as through holes 13 arranged in the body 42 of the female plug 2, therefore being coincident in number and angular position with respect to the axis 41 and presenting the same angular offset between them with with respect to axis 41, said offset being in the present embodiment of 180 °, that is to say that the holes are opposite and located diametrically opposite with respect to axis 41. The through holes 20 will be communicated with the outlet opening 21 or central hole of the male plug 3, which allows the liquid to pass depending on the positioning state of! closure-dispenser-dispenser set. The male plug 3 can have, in the circular peripheral wall of the ring 19, two fixed resistances or stops 18, which adopt (in the form of cylinders or any other, whose end, together with the stops 17 of the female plug 2, is the of limiting the relative rotation of the male plug 3 with respect to the female plug 2, in the fully open or fully closed positions, namely two angularly offset stops 18, approximately 90 °, with respect to the through holes 20, which in addition if the rotation is limited, they can provide the user with greater grip for the rotation of the male plug 3 with respect to the female plug 2, both for opening the system and for controlling the flow to be dispensed or dosed.

The assembly of the male plug 3 on the female plug 2 is preferably carried out, although not limitedly, by the pressure introduction of the male plug 3, being concentrically fitted by the manufacture of this body with a diameter that allows an adjustment to the same measure as e! inner body of the female cap 2, the connection being perfectly tight and hermetic and allowing the relative rotation of the male cap 3 with respect to the female cap 3 or vice versa, forming the closure assembly object of the present invention which has been represented in perspective in figures 7, 8 and 9. With the described configuration of the male plug 3 and the female plug 2, which rotate relatively between them and have corresponding through holes 20 and 13 and respective stops 18, 17 offset one Approximate angle of 90 °, the closure assembly may adopt the following positions:

An opening position, shown in Figure 9, in which the through holes 13 of the Female stopper 2 is in communication with the through holes 20 of the male stopper 3, communicating the inside of the container with the outlet opening 21 of the liquid, the stops 17 of the female stopper 2 being in contact with the stops 18 of the male stopper 3

A closing position, represented in Figures 7 and 8, in which the communication between the through holes 13 of the female plug 2 and the through holes 20 of! male plug 3, the stops 17 of the female plug 2 being angularly offset with respect to the stops 20 of the male plug 3, that is to say they are no longer in contact, moving from the opening position to the closing position and vice versa by simple relative rotation between female plug 2 and male plug 3.

Therefore, when the stop 18 of the male plug 3 is in the closed position (OFF) represented by the indications 15 of the ring 14 of the female plug 2, the through holes 20 of the male plug 3 are blinded by the inner cylindrical body 42 of the female cap 2 and therefore the liquid cannot pass from the inside of the container to the outlet opening 21 of the male cap 3. When the total rotation of the male cap 3 is carried out, aided by the stops 18, to the open position ( ON) represented by the indications 15 of the ring 14 of the female cap 2, the through holes 20 of the male cap 3 are facing or facing the through holes 13 of the female cap 2, allowing the passage of liquid from the inside of the container to the opening output 21 of the male plug 3. In this way, the flow rate is controlled according to the degree of coincidence of the through holes 13 and 20 of the female plug 2 and the male plug 3, respectively, allowing the regulation of! liquid flow without said flow being established with fixed or stable positions but is established at will of the user and gradually between the open and closed state depending on the degree of coincidence of the holes 13 and 20.

Figure 15 shows the female plug 2, in a plan view, where the stops 17 and an axis 53 of revolution of the through holes 13 are observed.

The angle a corresponds to the angular offset between one of the stops 17 and the axis 53, when the stops 18 of the male plug 3 are in contact with the stops 17 and therefore, the closure assembly is completely closed.

The angle β corresponds to the angle between the axis 53 and the relative rotation position of the female plug 2 with respect to the male plug 3 (the position of the stop 17 has been indicated with a broken line), at which the opening of the assembly of closure, from this point the closure assembly will gradually open with the rotation of the female plug 2 with respect to the male plug 3.

Finally, the angle «5 corresponds to the offset angle between the beginning of the opening and the second of the stops 17, which will coincide with the position of maximum opening of the assembly of closing.

In the present embodiment of the invention, the angle a will be equal to 12.16 °, the angle β will be equal to 37.36 ° and the angle 6 will be equal to 64.80 °, these angles varying slightly depending on the diameter of the stops 17.

The closure, dispenser-dispenser assembly may comprise of seals (not shown) in the joints and / or inserts between the male plug 3 and the female plug 2 guaranteeing the sealing thereof. The body 22 of the male cap 3 may contain an O-ring (not shown) to ensure the seal with the female cap 2. Figures 1 and 7 show the assembly of the dispenser-dispenser-closure assembly, where the female cap 2 it must be pressed fully against the mouth 1 or directly against the container if there is no mouth, as well as the male plug 3 must be pressed fully against the female mouth-plug assembly or only against the female plug 2 if there is no mouth 1. The male plug 3 can be assembled and disassembled from the female plug-mouth assembly by means of a pressure and start system of a filling machine. Similarly, the female plug 2 can be removed from the mouth 1 with the same system. In addition, the female cap 2 and the male cap 3 can be sealed to each other to prevent disassembly of the assembly by action of the liquid thrust on the latter in transport or handling. This is recommended, in this case, since the pressure adjustment cannot be very high and should allow relative rotation between the male plug 3 and the female plug 2.

Figures 10 to 14 show the possible connection of a container 44 that has a closure set, dispenser-dispenser 43 to a dispensing-dosing device with cooling system with temperature and discharge control, for containers capable of ^■ containing liquids , which the invention proposes.

Said dispensing device, shown in front elevation in Figure 10, is constituted from a housing 23 closed on all its faces except for one of them. Said housing 23 can be manufactured from metallic material or rigid plastic and is divided into several interior compartments and compartments. The housing 23 comprises, in this particular embodiment, two insulated compartments 24 for the cooling of at least one container, for each cabin 24, controlling the temperature of each of the rooms independently of the other. The number of rooms 24 will in no case be a limiting feature, the dispensing device being able to be made with a single cabin or with more than two, according to the proposed invention. On the front of the device, following the embodiment shown, the device can have two doors 25 for opening and closing the passenger compartment 24 isolated, whose function is to store the container and refrigerate it at a temperature selected by the user. Each of the doors 25 can have a handle 26 to facilitate opening and closing. Each of the insulated rooms 24 can be cooled to an independent temperature depending on the temperature selected by the user for each of the rooms.

The housing 23 of the device can have two lower compartments 27, one for each cabin 24, in which an automatic liquid extraction system can be placed for pumping, which in this case will consist of two mechanical mini-pumps 28 , one for each cabin, which allow the extraction of the liquid contained in the container and its conduction through supply channels 38 to two outlet taps 29 that will pour into containers 50 located on both sides of the housing 23 and located on trays of support 39. Each mini-pump 28 has nozzles 49 for connection to the closure assembly 43, which is coupled to the mouth 45 of the corresponding container 44. The taps 29 may have a mechanical closing system (not shown) while the system is switched off, and automatic mechanical opening by the packed liquid itself, when the system starts pumping the liquid. The outlet taps 29, according to this invention, are configured so that the circulation and dispensing of the liquid contained in the package is mechanically allowed when the mini-pumps 28 are active. When the mini-pumps 28 are deactivated, they can be mechanically closed by achieving a tight seal of the outlet to prevent the passage of oxygen through the tap. The liquid outlet opening 21 may comprise a seal to ensure the first use of the closure assembly object of the invention.

In addition, in the first lower compartments 27 the power supply that supplies power to the device can be placed.

Above the first lower compartments 27 interior panels 47 can be arranged, parallel to the upper base 48 of said first compartments 27, which are to define second lower compartments 33 whose front part is open and accessible when the doors 25 of the 24 rooms are open.

The first lower compartments 27 may have respective openings 31, visible in Figures 11 and 12, which serve to allow the connection of a container 44 that has a closure assembly 43 mounted in its mouth 45 as shown in Figures 1 and 7. On the other hand, the second lower compartments 33 also have openings 32, in order to facilitate access to them by the user and allow manual configuration, by the user, of the closure assembly 43.

The rear of the device, visible in Figure 13, may contain a compartment rear 34 which, in turn, comprises openings to allow passage, through said rear compartment 34, of the supply channels 38 from the mechanical mini-pumps 28 to the outlet taps 29. The rear compartment 34 may provide the device of the space necessary to locate the cooling system 46 which may be based on thermoelectric cooling systems with Peltier cells or a compression system. All the circulating of the liquid is within the area of action of the cooling system, except the outlet area of the tap 29 through which there is only liquid flow when it is being dosed.

The device may also have a closed upper compartment 35, which, in its lower part, will be open in connection with the rear compartment 34 to allow the supply channels 38 to pass to the first lower compartments 27 and therefore to the mini-bombs 28.

The front part of the upper compartment 35 may have an operator panel, shown in detail in Figure 14, in which a control knob 30 of the device is located which mainly activates / deactivates the operation of the mini-pumps 28 and of the refrigeration systems, as well as temperature regulating buttons 36 and 37 among which there is an indicator display 40 of the temperature at which the interior of each of the rooms 24 in which the containers are inserted and whose This measurement is achieved by means of temperature sensors 52 located inside the rooms 24 and connected to the indicator display 40 through the opening 51, shown in Figure 13, located in the lower part of the upper compartment 35. In other ways The location of an additional display showing the temperature chosen by the user can be considered, while in the display indicator 40 s e will continue to display the current temperature at which the cooling system action area is.

In one embodiment of this invention, on the sides of the upper compartment 35, as many outlet taps 29 as isolated receptacles 24, container receivers 44, can be placed for dispensing the liquid.

The outlet faucet 29 of the device may include other features that are not shown, by way of non-limiting example, non-return valves that prevent the return of the liquid back through the supply channels 38 after dispensing.

Therefore, in each of the rooms 24, at least one container container 44 will be placed in an inverted position that has a closure assembly 43 installed in its mouth, said mouth will be passed through the respective openings 31 and 32 of the first and second lower compartments 27 and 33 until connected to the respective mini-pumps 28, the Connection will be made between the closure assembly 43 and the mini-pump 28, by means of a nozzle 49 disposed in the mini-pump 28, which will be coupled to the outlet opening 21 of the male plug 3 of said closure assembly 43, the connection can be made directly or through a connection valve between the two (not shown). The connection of the closure assembly 43 to each of the mini-pumps 28 of the device may be carried out by means of pressure adjustment, and may contain an O-ring that ensures a tight connection.

The openings 31 and 32 receivers of! container 44 will have an outline and shape analogous to the shape of! closure assembly 43 to allow its passage through them. These openings will be fixed in the device, allowing that, once the closure assembly is correctly connected to the device, the tightness is maintained. In this way it is possible to manipulate the container »44 for opening and closing the system by applying the turning force on the container instead of on the closure assembly 43.

The dispensing device may contain trays 39 on both sides of the casing 23, extemporaneously, at the height of the first lower compartments, said trays 39 being adjustable in height with respect to the outlet tap 29 through elongated guides or grooves and oriented in a direction perpendicular to the base of the dispensing device and of fastening stops placed in the trays 39.

In another embodiment of the invention, the outlet taps 29 may be arranged in the front part of the upper compartment 35, and therefore in this case, said guides or grooves must be placed on the doors 25.

The dispensing device will be powered by a power source that can be connected to the mains, whether domestic, industrial, commercial or a vehicle, or by means of a power system that uses renewable energy sources, for example, photovoltaic panels, comprising how many electrical elements are necessary for the correct energy supply that feeds the entire system.

Thanks to the invention, it is possible to make a closure assembly, dispenser-dispenser with built-in refrigeration system for temperature control of containers that can contain liquids.

As understood, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and represented in the accompanying drawings. It is possible to introduce modifications, especially from the point of view of the constitution of the different elements or by replacing technical equivalents, without this meaning departing from the scope of protection intended by the present invention!
