Abstract:
System for distributing beverage in containers, comprising at least one container and at least one tapping device for cooperation with said at least one container, wherein said at least one container is provided with a valve assembly, said containers containing beverage and a pressurising unit for pressurising said beverage in said container for dispensing said beverage through said valve assembly. A first spout assembly is provided for connecting to said valve assembly and comprising a lever for pressing said valve assembly for repeatedly opening and closing said valve assembly and an outlet pipe for expelling beverage from said container flowing through said valve assembly when in an open position. A second spout assembly comprises a connecting element for bringing and keeping said valve assembly in an open position, wherein an outlet element is connected to said connecting element with a first end and is provided with a fluid channel, wherein said outlet element is designed for cooperation with the tapping device for opening and closing said fluid channel.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a drink dispenser (1) provided with a chamber (2) with an opening for accommodating a container (13) containing carbonated drink. The container is provided with an outlet (9) closed by a shut-off valve (10) and a tap head (14) that during use is connected via a line (13) to the outlet, which tap head has an operating member (23, 25) for opening and closing the line, wherein the line has a relatively stiff line section (32, 70) with a first part (30, 76) and a second part (31, 77) that are in contact with one another in a contact plane extending in a longitudinal direction of the line and which can be taken apart to provide access to an interior surface of the line section, wherein sealing means (41, 42, 47, 79, 90, 91) extending in the longitudinal direction of the line section are arranged in or close to the contact plane to form a liquid barrier, and wherein the two line parts have a clamping member (34, 35, 80, 81) that is able to engage on a locking element (51, 52, 53, 59, 60, 82, 83) for fixing the line parts (30, 31, 76, 77) in a position in contact with one another.
Abstract:
Combination of a dispenser (1) and container (7) for carbonated drink, the container being provided at the top with an outflow channel (10), extending in the direction of the central axis of the container, and a dispensing valve (11), closed under spring tension, for dispensing carbonated drink via a dispensing line (12, 13) connected to the outflow channel (10), the dispenser (1) being provided with a chill chamber (4) for accommodating the container (7) and with a dispensing head (15) with a handle (17) whereby the handle (17) is connected to an operating member (18, 20) that, during use, engages on the dispensing valve (11).
Abstract:
A tapping apparatus (1), provided with a container (2) and a pressure control device (10) for controlling pressure in an inner space (3) of the container, wherein the pressure control device (10) comprises a compartment (31) with a pressure medium therein and a dispensing opening (30) with a valve mechanism (12), wherein operating means (15) are provided for operation of the valve mechanism by a user, for supplying an amount of pressure medium from the compartment (31) into an inner space (3) of the container.
Abstract:
A container includes a chamber containing a carbonated drink, a drink dispensing opening for dispensing the drink from the chamber, a pressure medium chamber with an outlet closed by a valve for delivering pressure medium, and a pressure regulating element connected to the valve for operating the valve, with the pressure regulating element having a housing with an end wall, a peripheral wall, and a piston that can be moved in the housing along the peripheral wall in a sealed manner, with an upper housing part formed between a side of the piston that faces the end wall, and with a lower housing part that at least partially surrounds the valve, which is formed at the side of the piston facing away from the end wall. The piston engages the delivery valve, and the upper housing part of the housing is in fluid communication with a reference pressure source.

Abstract:
A container that dispenses a carbonated drink such as beer has a pressure regulator that controls the pressure of the dispensed fluid with a pressurized carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is released to maintain the desired pressure by a pressure regulator that opens a valve when the pressure is too low in the dispensed fluid and closes a valve when the pressure is high enough in the dispensed fluid. The pressure regulator is easily adjusted without the use of a tool during operation by simply rotating the pressure regulator's cap on its threads.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a drink dispenser provided with a chamber with an opening for accommodating a container containing carbonated drink. The container is provided with an outlet closed by a shut-off valve and a tap head that during use is connected via a line to the outlet, which tap head has an operating member for opening and closing the line. The line has a relatively stiff line section with a first part and a second part that are in contact with one another in a contact plane extending in a longitudinal direction of the line and which can be taken apart to provide access to an interior surface of the line section. Rubber strips extend in the longitudinal direction of the line section and are arranged in or close to the contact plane to form a liquid barrier. The two line parts have a clamping member that is able to engage on a locking element for fixing the line parts in a position in contact with one another.
