Definitions
- These may in particular be devices intended the distribution of cold, hot or cold drinks ambient temperature in companies or places public, or to the distribution of any other liquid under determined temperature or other conditions.
- the devices in question are supplied with these drinks or other liquids by containers or carboys several liters or tens of liters, provided with a neck closed by a special cap or a perforable seal, the cap being pushed back inside the neck, or the cover being perforated, as the case may be, by penetration of the aforementioned outlet nozzle of the device in this neck when the container is turned over on the device and engaged by its neck on this tip.
- the device ensures the distribution to consumers of beverages or other liquids in the form of volume doses variable but generally corresponding, when it comes of drinks, the contents of a glass or a cup placed below one of the taps with which the appliance is fitted.
- the means of arrival outside air at the top of said tank intermediate have a filter.
- the liquid from overturned container does not escape by means of arrival outside air at the top of said tank intermediate in case the top of the container overturned, for whatever reason, would present a outside air intake, as could happen by example in case its wall is accidentally cracked; to avoid this risk, said arrival means can be provided outside air at the top of said tank through a valve or the like prohibiting said audit liquid to flow in said means to the outside.
- the present invention aims to achieve a apparatus for dispensing liquids, in particular drinks which while implementing these different operating principles, allows to solve a certain number of problems affecting its realization, in particular to simplify structure, manufacturing and operations maintenance of this device.
- some of the known devices include "channeling means" connecting the end piece exit from the container overturned to the intermediate tank, which means comprises at least one tube of material flexible plastic.
- this tube must be connected by one of its ends on said tip or on a connection in communication with him, and by his other end on an intermediate tank connection socket, which multiplies the mounting operations as well as sealing problems, not to mention the problems hygiene, section changes at the level of connections can constitute as many nests for bacteria.
- some known devices include a bowl-shaped "unit” with several connections and incorporating said outlet nozzle, this unit being removably supported by provided support means under the upper wall of the box.
- This unit represents one more piece, of complicated shape, generally molded in plastic material, therefore expensive to which is thrown away together with the "means of pipe "above and the intermediate tank when maintenance operations.
- the present invention makes it possible to resolve these first problems with a general type device defined at the start, characterized in that said receptacle in collar shape has a bottom wall through which a sleeve receiving said outlet nozzle, and in that said intermediate tank has at its upper part a collar suitable for being tightly engaged, directly on the lower end of said sleeve.
- the liquid to be withdrawn at room temperature or needs to be heated before consumption is then discharged through the upper part end of the intermediate reservoir, in the area where its temperature is the lowest. It frequently results that this liquid is still too cold for consumers who want a drink at room temperature, and that its heating, when it must be consumed hot, requires greater expenditure of calories.
- An apparatus allows also to avoid these drawbacks and for this purpose is still characterized in that said intermediate tank is in plastic material preferably shaped by blowing of a room and has on its upper part a wall relatively rigid, and a lower part relatively flexible, suitable for being inserted in a cooling tank, these parts being separated from each other by a constriction of their cross section, which constriction may be surrounded by thermal insulation material.
- This intermediate tank is advantageously of elongated shape, the size of its cross section being several times lower than its height.
- the cold liquid will then be taken from the part lower of the intermediate tank, by a pipe opening near its bottom, and the liquid in front be taken at or at room temperature taken before heating can be subtracted from the part upper of the intermediate tank, above the throttle, with the advantage that the difference between liquid temperatures at the bottom and upper of the intermediate tank will be significantly more important, thanks to the section constriction reducing the thermal bridge, than is the case in devices known, with a constant section intermediate tank and having a gathered form.
- the box forming the chassis of the device has been referenced 1, its wall upper consisting of a circular plate 2 provided in the center with an opening also circular 3.
- This opening thus constitutes a mounting means simple for a collar-shaped receptacle 4, for example made of rigid molded plastic, which comprises example, projecting from its outer cylindrical wall 5, three elastic tabs 6 molded. So the receptacle 4 can be removably secured to the upper wall 2 of the casing 1, after having been introduced in the opening 3, by clamping the wall 2 between a circular upper shoulder 7 of the receptacle and the part upper 8 of its legs 6, snapped under the circumference of opening 3 (see Figures 1 and 2).
- the bottom wall 9 of the receptacle 4 is crossed by a sleeve 10 also molded and in which is fitted an outlet end 11 practically passed through over its entire length by a large "liquid" channel section 12 separated by one or more additional air channels small section 13 by a partition 14 (see Figure 2).
- the reference 15 represents a socket mounted sliding at the upper part of the end piece 11 and which, before installation of an overturned container R, is supported under a rib circular 16 of the head of the endpiece, this for sealing the inlet 17 for the liquid as well as the air outlet 18, to prevent the introduction of pollutants; this socket 15 is pushed down on the upper part narrowed 10a of the sleeve 10, when the neck 19 of the container R is overturned on receptacle 4, by the action of a re-entrant edge 20 of neck 19 when this edge is crossed, from bottom to top, by the sleeve 10. It should be noted that at the same time is pierced the cover (not shown) which, before placing the container R, close the end of its neck 19.
- the intermediate tank made of plastic food quality suitably shaped by blowing of a part, has been referenced 21. It is notably elongated in height, that is to say from its bottom 22 to its upper wall 23, its cross section, in the example shown, being approximately one fifth of its height between walls 22 and 23. About 3 / 5ths of this height (at indicative), the reservoir 21 has a constriction of section 24 which divides it into a lower part of practically cylindrical in shape 25 and in an upper part 26 whose shape broadly corresponds to that of a cylinder with sides at its upper end inclined 27, this to ensure its ease of installation by reducing its size.
- the manufacture of the intermediate tank 21 in plastic material advantageously shaped by blowing allows it to be given a non-uniform wall thickness, larger in its upper part 26 than in its lower part 25, as clearly visible in FIG. 5, this to make it more rigid at the top provided with different connections, only in the part lower, which can thus be more easily introduced, after folding at the constriction 24, in a tray rigid cooling 28 (FIG. 1), the internal wall of which is coated with an evaporator coil 29 (the circuit compressor refrigerant to which this coil is connected, well known in itself, is contained in the lower part of box 1 but has not been shown).
- evaporator coil 29 the circuit compressor refrigerant to which this coil is connected
- the top of the relatively rigid upper part 26 comprises, as mentioned above, different connections.
- It includes in particular a neck 30 engaged so watertight, possibly snapped onto it, on the end lower of the sleeve 10 of the receptacle 4, which ensures a direct connection between the outlet nozzle 11, therefore between the contents of container R, and the upper part 26 of the intermediate tank 21, thus eliminating all “means of pipe "with flexible tubes of the prior art; it further includes, as an integral part, a conduit 31 serving both as a guide for a float 32 and as support for means for filtering susceptible air to enter the intermediate tank 21 by what one called above the "outside air supply means to the upper part of said intermediate tank.
- These last means include a grid 33 for supporting a interchangeable filter plate 34 having a surface relatively large, which plate is held against the grid by a cover 35 provided with vents side 36 and which could be forcibly engaged but is of preferably screwed, on the upper part with enlarged section 37 of the duct 31.
- a flexible membrane 38 for example in silicone, provided with a central hole 39, is tightened by its peripheral edge between grid 33, housed in said enlarged part, and a support shoulder 40 of the duct 31, so that in the normal operating position, the air can pass from the outside to the intermediate tank 21 by crossing the vents 36, the filter 34, the grid 33, the hole 39 of the membrane and the peripheral space 41 formed between the float 32 and the internal wall of the duct 31, then what the air can go up in the container R in via the channel 13 of the nozzle 11, while the liquid is evacuated from it by channel 12.
- the screwed cover 35 for example by screwing "quarter turn", on the widened part 37 of the duct 31 also brings the advantage of allowing to tighten firmly the edge of the filter 34 against the peripheral edge of the grid 33, as well as the peripheral edge of the membrane 38 against the shoulder 40, which ensures perfectly tightness and prevents air from entering the tank 21 without having passed through the filter.
- the top of the relatively rigid upper part 26 of the intermediate tank 21 still has three connections 43, 52 and 54.
- the lower connection 43 is extended downwards, inside the lower part softer 25 of the intermediate reservoir, by a tube 44 opening near the bottom 22, this for sampling fresh liquid.
- On this connection 43 is connected the end of an outlet pipe 45 of which the other end can be closed or released, in a manner known in itself, by a pinch valve 46 without contact with the liquid, with control lever 47.
- Fresh liquid can then be collected by the consumer in a 48 cup placed on a drip tray 49.
- This tank ends up with elsewhere a conduit 50 connected to a branch 51 of the bottom wall 9 of receptacle 4, so as to recover the leaks that may occur between the tip 11 and the edge re-entering 20 of the neck 19 of the overturned container R, in particular during commissioning.
- the upper connection 52 it allows the withdrawal of the liquid at close temperature ambient in the upper part 26 of the tank intermediate and can therefore be connected directly, by a outlet pipe 53, to another tap similar to tap 46.
- the third connection 54 can still allow to take, in the upper part 26 of the intermediate tank, liquid at a temperature close to the ambient and to offer it to the choice of the consumer after a treatment such as gasification or heating.
- the replacement of another intermediate tank 21 is carried out thanks to the positioning operations of the tank in the box, of latching of the receptacle 4 on wall 2 then connecting the different aforementioned connections, carried out in the reverse order of that of dismantling operations.
