摘要:
The present invention concerns a dispensing appliance (2) suitable for receiving a container (1) and for dispensing a liquid contained in said container, wherein said container comprises a body, a mouth (5), and a closure (8) provided with at least an initially sealed first, dispensing opening (10B), said dispensing appliance (2) comprising: (a) a holding portion (201) comprising means (21) for holding the container, and (b) a dispensing portion (202) comprising a first dispensing tube (10A) with an engagement tip suitable for engaging into said initially sealed dispensing opening (10B) of the closure (8), to enter in fluid communication with the interior of the container, said dispensing portion (202) being pivotally connected to the holding portion (201) by at least one hinge (30) to rotationally move from a first, loading position, allowing the loading of the container (1) onto the appliance (2), and a second, dispensing position, allowing the dispensing of the liquid contained in the container, and wherein the moving of the dispensing portion (202) from its first; loading position to its second, dispensing position drives the engagement tip of the first dispensing tube (10A) through the initially sealed dispensing opening (10B) of the closure (8) characterized in that , the engagement tip of the first, dispensing tube (10A) is translated along a rectilinear path by the rotation of the dispensing portion (202) about the hinge (30), to engage into the first, dispensing opening (10B).
摘要:
A closure (10) for use with a beverage keg (20) is disclosed. The closure (10) comprises an inlet, a barrier (1) and a housing (2) that defines a venting hole (11). The barrier (1) seals the venting hole (11). The closure (10) comprises an unvented configuration in which a keg to which the closure is fitted can be pressurized. The closure (10) also comprises a vented configuration in which the barrier (1) is unsealed from the venting hole (11) to permit depressurization of the keg (20).

A closure (100) for a keg (14) comprises a housing (160) and at least one valve element (210) that is movable with respect to the housing. The closure also comprises a lock mechanism having a locking element (215) that is movable with respect to the housing and is capable of holding the valve element (210) in the open state. The lock mechanism includes first and second couplings (503, 505) at which the locking element (215) and the valve element are mutually engageable. When the locking element and the valve element are engaged at the first coupling, the locking element moves with the valve element as the valve element moves from the open state into the closed state. This movement of the locking element enables engagement between the locking element and the valve element at the second coupling (503), which engagement at the second coupling occurring on subsequent movement of the valve element into the open state to prevent the valve element returning to the closed state.
摘要:
A fully recyclable valve housing adapted for engagement with a neck of a container such as a beer keg, has an inner port (25) for liquid and a concentric outer port (14) for pressurised gas, with openings (21) for admitting pressurised gas into the container. A dip tube (5) is connected to a bottom end fitting (4), communicating with a valve stem (8) within the valve housing. A valve member 6 is arranged to control flow through the concentric ports, and a spring element (7) located about the valve stem (8) urges the valve member upwards to close the ports. The spring element (7) is moulded from a resilient polymeric material and comprises a plurality of C-shaped sections (7a) angularly arranged in two interconnected stacks on opposite sides of the valve stem such that movement of the valve member (6) by means of a valve-operating member causes concurrent resilient deformation of all the sections.
