Definitions

  • This invention relates to a pouring out or dispensing device wherein the material is dispensed out of the vessel by making use of the pressure of the fluid pressure such as carbonic acid gas. More particularly, it relates to such device wherein a first slidable operating lever adapted to unstopper a sealing plate provided to the bombe filled with a pressurized fluid and to open or close the unstoppered sealing plate, and a-second slidable operating rod having at its formost part a value member for opening or closing a communication passage providing a communication between the vessel and the outside of the vessel, are actuated in unison by a sole actuating lever to facilitate the dispensing operation.
  • a first slidable operating lever adapted to unstopper a sealing plate provided to the bombe filled with a pressurized fluid and to open or close the unstoppered sealing plate
  • a-second slidable operating rod having at its formost part a value member for opening or closing a communication passage providing a communication between the vessel and the outside
  • a pouring-out or dispensing device in which the beer or cola contained in a vessel is poured out or dispensed by making use of a high pressure gas.
  • Such dispensing device is comprised of a cover member attached to an upper opening of the vessel for closing said opening, an injection pipe attached to said cover member for injecting a pressurized fluid such as carbonic acid gus into the vessel, a dispensing pipe attached to said cover member for conveying the beer outwards from the inside of said vessel, a holder provided to said injection pipe and to which is affixed a bombe filled with the pressurized fluid, and a valve member also provided to said injection pipe and adapted to open and close the bombe, wherein the pressurized fluid is injected into said vessel by the manipulation of said valve member for dispensing the beer through said dispensing pipe under the thus established fluid pressure.
  • the injection pipe of the above described device is not provided with any opening and closing means so that the vessel interior at all times communicates with atmosphere through the dispensing pipe. Therefore, when the vessel is leveled down or tilted by some external force, the beer contained in the vessel in liable to flow out through the dispensing tube. Also, since the beer contained in the vessel may contact with atmospheric air through the dispensing tube, the carbonic acid gas in the beer is dissipated into atmosphere resulting in the loss of the flavor proper to the beer.
  • the pressure within the vessel is increased due to the fluid pressure thus resulting in the risk of the beer leakage and detracting from the merit of the dispensing device making use of the pressurize fluid for dispensing the beer. Also, should the beer be dispensed while the elevated pressure prevails in the vessel, there is the risk that the beer be poured out in a jet.
  • the present invention is characterized in that the opening and closure of the dispensing passage of the vessel in which the material to be dispensed is stored, and the opening and closure of the bombe filled with the pressurized fluid used for dispensing the material out'of the vessel, are carried out in unison by a sole operating lever.

  • a retainer ring 29 adapted for holding a compression coil spring 30 between it and the cover member 3.
  • the second slidable operating rod 25 is so designed as to close the communication passage 23 when the valve member 26 biased by the compression spring 20 upwards in Figs.1 and 2 intimately abuts on the step 27 through the medium of the O-ring 28, and to open the passage 23 when the valve member is moved against the bias of the compression coil spring 30. It will be noted that the beer leakage via the through-hole 24 may be prevented in this manner from occurring.
  • an operating lever 32 is provided on top of the connecting portion 10 for actuating the first and second operating rods 18, 23.
  • the bottom portion of the operating lever 32 is rotatably mounted about a pivot shaft 33 provided in the vicinity of the other end of the holder 6.
  • the bottom portion of the operating lever 32 is formed with a cam surface 34 designed to abut on the other end of the first slidable operating rod 18 from the other end of the holder 6 to actuate the operating rod 18, while the intermediate inner wall surface of the operating rod 32 is formed as an abutment surface 35 designed to abut on one end of the second slidable operating rod 25 to actuate the slidable operating rod 25.
  • the cam surface 34 is designed to rotate in unison with the operating lever 32 to pressure and shift the first operating rod 18.
  • the cam surface 34 acts to pressure the first slidable operating rod 18 in the direction of the valve member 13 for fitting the pointed-end member 16 into the discharge orifice 19 formed in the sealing plate 12 for sealing the discharge opening 19 by the pointed-end member 16 and the valve member 13.
  • the cam surface 34 is so profiled as to pressure the first slidable operating rod 18 until the operating lever 32 is turned a small angle for slightly opening the second operating rod 25.
  • the cam surface 34 is so designed as to pressure the second slidable operating rod 25 for sealing the discharge orifice 19 starting from the inoperative position of the operating lever 32 and until such time that the operating rod 32 is slightly turned for slightly opening the communication passage.
  • the cam surface 34 is so designed that, when the operating lever 32 is turned further from the state in which it has been turned for slightly sliding the second slidable operating rod 25, the first operating rod 18 is relased from the pressure imparted from the cam surface 34.
  • the valve member 13 is slid under the force of the compression spring 17 in a direction away from the sealing plate 12 for opening the discharge orifice 19 for causing injection of the pressurized gas into the vessel 1.
  • stepped portions 32a provided to the side edge of the operating lever 32 is designed to abut on the restricting portions 36 provided to the holder 6 for restricting the rotation of the operating lever 32 in such a manner that the pressuring surface 35 is not markeadly spaced apart from the second slidable operating rod 25.
  • the rotational manipulation of the operating rod 32 causes the second slidable operating rod to be shifted and the first slidable operating rod 18 as well as the valve member 13 to be retracted in a direction away from the gas bombe 7, so that the carabonic acid gas in injected into the vessel 1 through the injection pipe 4.
