Abstract

A beverage container (10) includes a regulating cylinder (50) open at a first end to atmosphere and open at a second end to the closed interior of the beverage container (10). A piston (54) is in the cylinder (50). A relief port (76) is located intermediate the ends of the regulating cylinder (50) and is controlled by the piston (54). A pressure cartridge (12) controlled by a regulating valve (80) communicates with the closed interior of the beverage container (10). A valve stem (90) operatively extends from the piston (54) to the regulating valve (80) through a restricted annular passage (84). The piston (54) is engaged with the valve stem (90) at below a preselected pressure differential between the closed interior and the atmosphere and disengaged from the valve stem (90) above another preselected pressure differential between the closed interior and the atmosphere. A valve housing (34) may slidably extend about the valve stem (90) with an annular charging passage (32) controlled by a charging nozzle (30) outwardly of the restricted annular passage (84).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
received by the International Bureau on 02 October 2020 (02.10.2020)
The claims:
1 . A beverage container defining a closed interior, comprising:
a regulating cylinder open at a first end to atmosphere and open at a second end to the closed interior, and including a relief port intermediate the ends of the regulating cylinder in communication with the atmosphere;
a piston slidable in the regulating cylinder and including a piston seal;
a piston spring biasing the piston toward the second end of the regulating cylinder, the piston acting against the bias of the piston spring to open the relief port at and above a first preselected pressure differential between the closed interior and the atmosphere;
a valve stem extending from the second end of the regulating cylinder, the piston being engaged with the valve stem at below a second preselected pressure differential between the closed interior and the atmosphere with the bias of the piston spring and disengaged with the valve stem above the first preselected pressure differential between the closed interior and the atmosphere against the bias of the piston spring;
a source of pressurized fluid including an elongate cartridge in the beverage container having a first end and a second end, the second end of the elongate cartridge having a port therethrough;
a regulating valve including an inlet in fluid communication with the source of pressurized fluid, an outlet in fluid communication with the closed interior, a valve element engaged by the valve stem, a valve seat, a valve spring biasing the valve element against the valve seat, the valve element being displaced from the valve seat against the valve spring bias with the second preselected pressure differential between the closed interior and the atmosphere;
a stem passage, the regulating valve being at an end of the stem passage, another end of the stem passage being in fluid communication with the closed interior, the valve stem extending in the stem passage to the regulating valve, the source of pressurized fluid being charged with liquid carbon dioxide, the valve stem defining a restricted annular passage within the stem passage to evaporate the liquid carbon dioxide flowing therethrough. 17
3. The beverage container of claim 1 further comprising:
a plug through the second end of the elongate cartridge including a plug passage therethrough;
a valve housing including a housing seat about the housing and a stem passage therethrough, the valve housing extending through the plug passage with an annular passage therebetween, the valve housing having a first position with the housing seat engaged with the plug to close the annular passage therebetween and a second position with the housing seat disengaged from the plug to open the annular passage therebetween.
4. The beverage container of claim 3 further comprising:
a charging nozzle engageable with the plug and including a charging passage therethrough and a stop in the charging passage, the stop engageable with an end of the valve housing and holding the valve housing in the second position with the charging nozzle engaged with the plug.
5. The beverage container of claim 3, the valve housing including a threaded post at the end of the valve housing extending from the plug and threadedly engageable with the regulating cylinder at the second end of the regulating cylinder, the regulating cylinder holding the valve housing in the first position when engaged with the threaded post.

a regulating valve including an inlet in fluid communication with the source of pressurized gas, an outlet in fluid communication with the closed interior, a valve element engaged by the valve stem, a valve seat, a valve spring biasing the valve element against the valve seat, the valve element being displaced from the valve seat against the bias of the valve spring with the piston engaging the valve stem;
a stem passage, the valve stem extending in the stem passage, the regulating valve being at an end of the stem passage, another end of the stem passage being in fluid communication with the closed interior, the source of pressurized carbon dioxide being charged with liquid carbon dioxide, the valve stem defining a restricted annular passage within the stem passage to evaporate the liquid carbon dioxide flowing therethrough.
8. A beverage container defining a closed interior comprising:
a regulating cylinder open at a first end to atmosphere and open at a second end to the head space;
a piston slidable in the regulating cylinder and including a piston seal;
a valve stem extending from the second end of the regulating cylinder, the piston being engaged with the valve stem at below a preselected pressure differential between the head space and the atmosphere and being disengaged with the valve stem above the preselected pressure differential between the head space and the atmosphere;
a source of pressurized carbon dioxide including an elongate cartridge in the beverage container having a first end and a second end, the second end of the elongate cartridge having a port therethrough;
a regulating valve including an inlet in fluid communication with the source of pressurized gas, an outlet in fluid communication with the closed interior, a valve element engaged by the valve stem, a valve seat, a valve spring biasing the valve element against the valve seat, the valve element being displaced from the valve seat against the bias of the valve spring with the piston engaging the valve stem; 19
a plug through the second end of the elongate cartridge including a plug passage therethrough;
a valve housing including a housing seat about the housing and a stem passage therethrough, the valve housing extending through the plug passage with an annular passage therebetween, the valve housing having a first position with the housing seat engaged with the plug to close the annular passage therebetween and a second position with the housing seat disengaged from the plug to open the annular passage therebetween.
9. The beverage container of claim 8 further comprising:
a charging nozzle engageable with the plug and including a charging passage therethrough and a stop in the charging passage, the stop engageable with an end of the valve housing and holding the valve housing in the second position with the charging nozzle engaged with the plug.
10. The beverage container of claim 8, the valve housing including a threaded post at the end of the valve housing extending from the plug and threadedly engageable with the regulating cylinder at the second end of the regulating cylinder, the regulating cylinder holding the valve housing in the first position when engaged with the threaded post.
1 1. The beverage container of claim 7 further comprising
