摘要： A keg has a spear fitted with a safety blow-out device (105, 106). Spring member (106) has three legs with outwardly turned ends (106d, 106e, 106f) that slot into equi-angularly spaced holes. The leg ends prevent the spear (101) from being extracted through the keg neck (102) since the diametrical extent of the legs is greater than the internal diameter of the neck. Appropriate relative axial movement of body (7) relative to tube (2) retracts leg ends (106d, 106e, 106f) within said neck internal diameter allowing extraction of the spear.

摘要： A keg for dispensing beer or other liquids under pressure is provided with a neckless spear arrangement. The spear comprises a body intended to be welded permanently to the keg with all parts of the spear assembled through that body. When so assembled escape is prevented so that in the event of interference by any unqualified person there is no risk of the spear being ejected as a missile.

摘要： The invention concerns a valve fitting (1;30) for a keg used for the storage of liquids under pressure, the valve fitting being of the kind known as a well type spear: .The valve fitting includes a body (2;2') having an opening (3) therethrough with a body valve seat (5) around the opening, a tube (11) with a fluid path therethrough an upper portion of which is located within the centre of the body opening (3) and which is moveable axially relative to the body (2;2') to open and close a first valve, and a main seal element (18) secured to the top of the tube (11) and providing a seal surface to co-operate with the body valve seat (5) to seal the first valve. The valve fitting (1;30) further includes a valve member (17;32) located within the upper portion of the tube (11) which is moveable axially relative to the tube (11) to open and close a second valve, and a valve seat (19;34) within the upper part of the tube (11) with which the valve member (17;32) co-operates to seal the second valve. The valve fitting 1;30) is assembled through the opening (3) in the body (2;2'). The valve fitting (1;30) further includes a washer (22;22') located on the top of the main seal element (18), the washer (22;22') having a diameter greater than the diameter of the opening (3) in the body (2;2') and the washer (22;22') and/or the body (2;2') are specifically adapted to permit the washer (22;22') to pass through the opening (3) in the body (2;2’).

摘要： A valve fitting (1) for a keg used for the storage of liquids under pressure includes a body (7) secured to the upper surface (8) of the keg and having an aperture (7a). The valve fitting further includes a tube (12) the upper end (12b) of which is located centrally in the body aperture and the lower end of which is located close to the bottom of the keg, a main seal element (2) located around and slidable with respect to an upper portion (12a) of the tube between a closed position and an open position, a spring (5) located around the tube between a lower part (7b) of the body and the main seal element to bias the main seal element upwards to seal the body aperture around the upper end of the tube. The valve fitting further includes a guide member (4, 9) located around and slidable with respect to the upper portion of the tube and which includes a formation (4a, 9a) on it's upper surface in which the main seal element is received and retained.
