Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a liquid dispensing device that is enabled for dispensing liquid stored in bag in box type containers.
  • the tap is mounted on a connector
  • standing liquid may remain between the tap outlet and the nipple of the connector.
  • conduits and other bodies are added downstream of the tap through which the liquid flows.
  • This standing liquid can pose a health and safety hazard because when it is in contact with the air and the environment it can be oxidised, become contaminated with microbes and cause undesirable phenomena, such as a decrease in the diameter of the conduits or the occlusion thereof.
  • the structure may have a parallelepiped shape or any other convenient shape to house the container.
  • the person skilled in the art understands that the bodies thereof can be attached to a frame that forms the edges of the structure, and may add the required elements to provide more rigidity or more stability to the liquid dispensing device, such as a lower base that rests on the surface where the liquid dispensing device is placed or a base where the container to be filled rests.
  • the structure comprises a lower support body on which the container rests and at least two lateral bodies attached to the support body and which prevent the lateral movement of the container.
  • the support body and the lateral bodies may be, but are not limited to, a grid, a sheet or a profile.
  • the drive assembly is attached to the front body at the same height as the tap.
  • the support is provided with one or more surfaces intended to serve as support for the tap, preventing the movement thereof and excessive mechanical stress at the joint between the tap and the bag in box.
  • the movement of the lever can be linear on rails or grooves.
  • the front body In order to operate the lever, the front body has an lever opening configured so that the drive sector of the lever protrudes through the lever opening and pivots at a sufficient angle so that the tap opens.
  • the drive assembly is provided with a stop against which the lever makes contact in its position of complete opening of the tap, that is, in its position of maximum rotation, to avoid excessive mechanical stress in the lugs of the tap, as well as a stop in its maximum displacement position in the opposite direction to that mentioned.
  • the body of the lever is provided with gripping elements that prevent movement between the tap and the drive assembly when the lever is in dispensing and mounting positions.
  • the dispensed liquid comes out of the drive assembly through a liquid outlet opening made in a surface of the support or front body.
  • the construction described above allows the tap to be operated without the hazard of touching same directly and eliminates the use of additional parts in which liquid may remain trapped, ensuring the integrity of the liquid to be dispensed and being able to work with the health record of the liquid manufacturer.
  • the dispensing device for liquids stored in bag in box type containers comprises:
  • the front body (2) comprises:
  • Figure 3 shows a rear view of the front body in which the inner partition (10) has been concealed to allow the lever (16) to be seen.
  • the tap drive assembly (9) is positioned between the outer (4) and inner (5) plates.
  • the tap drive assembly (9) is positioned so that the window (8) of the inner partition (10) is at the same height as the tap (26).
  • the tap drive assembly (9) is provided with a U-shaped lever (16), as detailed in Figure 5 .
  • the U defines an inner space (29) that is configured to receive the tap (26).
  • the lever (16) comprises:
  • gripping elements (23) for holding the tap (26) are provided in a portion of the sections (19). These gripping elements (23) are intended to engage the body of the tap (26) when the drive sector (17) is both in an approximately horizontal position and displaced downwards, so that the opening of the front body is locked (2) and the movement of the drive assembly (9) with respect to the tap (26) is prevented, and it is prevented from disengaging from the body of the tap (26) to allow the opening of the front body (2) when the drive sector (17) is inclined upwards.
  • Figure 6 shows the bag with tap (26) comprising the bag (25), which in this embodiment is parallelepiped-shaped, and the tap (26).
  • the tap (26) comprises flanges (27) configured so that, by sliding them upwards, the tap (26) opens.
  • the lever (16) is in a first position called access position, which in this embodiment is higher (that is, with the drive sector (17) moved upwards).
  • the body of the tap (26) fits into the inner space (29) of the lever (16) formed by the push arms (18).
  • the lever (16) is rotated to a second position, called mounting position, which in this embodiment is approximately horizontal (that is, the drive sector (17) being approximately horizontal).
  • mounting position which in this embodiment is approximately horizontal (that is, the drive sector (17) being approximately horizontal).
  • the body of the tap (26) fits into the inner space (29) of the lever (16) formed by the push arms (18) and the gripping elements (23) trap and immobilise the body of the tap (26).
  • the front body cannot be opened, as explained above.
  • the lever (16) in this second position the liquid dispensing device is ready to dispense.
