  • the invention aims to resolve one or more of these drawbacks.
  • the invention aims in particular to make it possible to consume drinks from different cans under optimal conditions of freshness, even when the cans have not been cooled beforehand.
  • the invention thus relates to a machine for cooling and emptying the contents of a metal beverage can, as defined in claim 1 attached.

Those skilled in the art will understand that each of the characteristics of the dependent claims can be combined independently with the characteristics of an independent claim, without constituting an intermediate generalization.
  • the invention provides a machine for cooling and emptying the contents of a metal beverage can according to claim 1.
  • the machine comprises a refrigerated housing for receiving a can and cooling it at its periphery.
  • the machine has a protruding tubing in the refrigerated housing to be able to penetrate a lid of the can and access the beverage contained in the can.

  • the machine has a removable sub-assembly in order to be easily cleaned and to prevent the taste of a drink from being altered by the taste of a previous drink.
  • the removable sub-assembly comprises a stirrer mounted to slide relative to the tubing so as to be able to pass through the bore.
  • the agitator In a high position, the agitator is located above the upper edge of the tubing, in order to be able to agitate the drink and obtain a forced thermal convection in the can. The cooling time of the drink inside the can is thus significantly reduced. In low position, the agitator is located below the upper edge of the tubing, which avoids damaging it when the can is put in place with the cover pierced through the tubing. A conduit of the sub-assembly communicates with the bore of the tubing. This duct is selectively closed or released by a plug. Thus, the drink can initially be kept in the can while it is cooling and stirring, and then emptied out.

  • the figures 14 to 19 illustrate the kinematics of the machine 1 for different phases of its operation. For the sake of readability, a number of components have not been illustrated.
  • the figure 14 illustrates the machine 1 during the introduction of the can 9 into the refrigerated housing.
  • the can 9 is brought into contact with the seal 140.
  • the sub-assembly 5 is held by the jaws 71 and 72 of the support 7.
  • the fins 30 of the agitator 3 are set back relative to the pipe 141, the agitator being maintained in its intermediate position by the lever 20.
  • the teeth 32 of the agitator 3 are disengaged relative to the intermediate gear 212 and therefore relative to the motor 21.
  • the figure 15 illustrates the machine 1 when closing the cover 13.
  • the cover of the can 9 is then pierced by the tubing 141 and pushes the seal 140 down.
  • the drink present inside the can flows through the hollow shaft 31 to the stopper 4 which is held in the closed position.
  • the figure 16 illustrates machine 1 when lever 20 is raised.
  • the jaws 71 and 72 of the support then slide upwards and cause the blades 30 of the agitator to slide upwards.
  • the fins 30 then protrude above the pipe 141, inside the can 9.
  • the agitator 3 is guided in rotation by the jaws 71 and 72.
  • the teeth 32 are then engaged with the intermediate toothed wheel. 212.
  • the motor 21 is then controlled to drive the fins 30 in rotation by means of the teeth 32.
  • the plug 4 remains integral with the agitator 3 and maintained in its closed position.
  • the figure 17 illustrates the machine 1 when the lever 20 is lowered.
  • the drive in rotation of the motor 21 is interrupted beforehand and the teeth 32 are disengaged with respect to the intermediate toothed wheel 212.
  • the fins 30 are positioned back inside the tubing 141.
  • the flange 44 interferes with the stops 77 and 78 to drive the stopper 4 into its open position. The drink can then flow through the hollow shaft 31.
  • the figure 18 illustrates the machine when the lever 20 is returned to a neutral position.
  • the can 9 can be withdrawn from the refrigerated housing, and its cover slides relative to the pipe 141.
  • the agitator 3 is in its intermediate position, and the stopper 4 has returned to its closed position.
  • the figure 19 illustrates the machine during the withdrawal of the sub-assembly 5.
  • the jaws 71 and 72 are moved away from each other, so that the sub-assembly 5 is no longer held by the jaws 71 72.
  • the stops 77 and 78 are also spaced apart, so that the collar 44 no longer interferes with it. Consequently, the sub-assembly 5 can slide downwards by gravity or by a request from a user, and can therefore be separated from the rest of the machine 1, for rinsing with running water for example.
