Definitions

  • This invention relates to identification means, and in particular to identification means on containers or receptacles generally. It is more especially, but by no means exclusively, concerned with identification means on metal beer kegs and casks.
  • barrels metal beer kegs and casks
  • the identification of metal beer kegs and casks, hereinafter referred to generally as "barrels” has two important aspects. The first of these is to enable a brewery to keep track of the whereabouts of the barrels of a very considerable stock thereof, and the second is to enable a stolen barrel to be identified as such.
  • the loss of barrels, whether as a result of inadvertence or theft, is a very expensive item in brewery accounts.
  • the object of the. invention is to procide means for identifying containers or receptacles suited to computerised reading methods and providing greater security.
  • identification means on a container or receptacle comprising a plastics identification plate with identification marking on the inner side face thereof or within the plate, and means for securing the plastics identification plate to the container or receptacle without obscuring the identification marking which can thus be read.
  • the plastics identification plate is secured to the container or receptacle by retention means secured to the latter and overlapping at least part of the periphery of the plastics identification plate.
  • the retention means is a frame member peripherally surrounding the plastics identification plate and overlapping opposed peripheral regions of the latter.
  • the identification means on a metal container or receptable comprises a pressed metal frame member with a side flange or flanges which fit closely to the container surface and by which the frame member is welded to the container, and a plastics identification plate with identification marking on the inner side face thereof or within the plate, the plate being retained within the frame member which completely encloses a peripheral region of the plate without obscuring the identification marking which can thus be read.
  • the plastics identification plate is preferably optically transparent and the identification narking preferably is or incorporates a bar codinc for reading by an optical scanning head or probe.
  • magnétique marking may be employed in which case the material need not be optically transparent.
  • the latter will be magnetically transparent, although the plate may incorporate magnetic material such that the magnetic coding is then within the plate itself.
  • the means of the invention may be employed with other containers such as for example the containers supplied by a brewery for use in association with beer barrels.
  • Such containers may be the C0 2 cylinders which are supplied for the pressurization of beer kegs.
  • the invention is also of application to larger containers such as transport containers and container bodies of vehicles such as railway trucks and wagons.
  • the keg 1 itself is of entirely conventional form, with a domed end wall 2 having a central pressure neck 3, screw-threaded to receive a closure bung or for connection to a delivery system, and inset with respect to an end ring.
  • the identification means 5 of the invention are welded to the surface of the end wall 2 at a suitable position thereon.
  • the identification means comprise a pressed sheet metal frame member 6 which closely receives a rectangular and optically transparent plastics identification plate 7.
  • a bar code adhesive strip 8 is applied to the back (inner) surface of the plate 7, for reading of the coding 8a by an optical reading head through the plast 7 which is of a shatterproof plastics material such as polycarbonate. This material not only cannot be shattered by blows from a hammer but it is also caustic resistant, scratch proof and acid proof.
  • the frame member 6 is of pressed metal form, with a continuous rectangular side wall 9, a frame section 10 which overlaps a peripheral region of the plate 7 closely to contain same and a continuous edge flange 11 which fits closely to the surface of the end wall 2.
  • the flange 11 is welded to the wall 2, either with a continuous circumferential weld or by a series of welds such as 12 as shown in Fig. 1. In either case the identification means are permanently secured to the keg 1.
  • the frame member 6 is of a metal compatible with that of the keg 1.
  • aluminium keg it will normally be of aluminium, whereas it will normally be of stainless steel when fitted to a stainless steel keg.
  • the frame member need not be continuous. It may be constituted by separate discrete retaining members engaging and overlapping opposed regions, say two pairs of opposed regions of the identification plate.
  • the metal frame member or retaining members is or are secured to the metal container by an adhesive.
  • the adhesive is preferably but not essentially an elastomer-based compound capable of withstanding temperatures to which the container may be subjected to in cleaning, sterilising and/or storing.
  • a compound moreover, preferably lends itself to coping with any vibration or other movements to which the container might normally be subjected to in handling, transporting or otherwise.
  • a second modification is to rivet the metal frame member or retaining members to the metal container. Such a modification is especially suitable for non-pressurised containers.
  • the frame closely encloses the identification plate, or the retaining members engage opposed regions of the latter.
  • the identification means may be any convenient form of identification data encaspulated within a plastics plate or body which is directly adhered or otherwise conveniently secured to the metal container, wooden cask or container formed of any other suitable material, for example an inert plastics material.
  • the frame or retaining members may be omitted the plastics plate 7 with the identification strip 7 as aforesaid or encapsulated within the plate be directly secured to the keg 1 adhesively or by. nailing, stapling or rivetting.
