Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of the manufacture of dispensing valves for liquids in small containers rigid, semi-rigid or flexible, in particular of food liquids, and a object for such a tap.
  • taps constituted by a body of mounting in the drain of a container and by a piston for releasing the liquid charged by a spring and guided in the body, the piston acting on an elastic waterproofing membrane secured to the body.
  • the body of fitting in the drain is provided with a fixing fitting cooperating by snap-fastening with the plug.
  • valves allow correct distribution of the liquid and are perfectly suited either to a bottling operation or to a succession of rackings, whether these are carried out in a sterile environment, such as a sterile chamber on an aseptic filler, or not, for example for filling glasses or small containers, that is to say for private use or in catering for small flows a single drink or a single vintage.
  • taps for dispensing liquids in particular aseptic food liquids or not, with closure automatic, which consist of a mounting body in the drain of a container and by a liquid release piston acting on a membrane elastic sealing integral with the body, these valves being provided with a means for holding the piston in the open position.
  • a distribution valve for liquids comprising a valve or a waterproof sealing membrane of a liquid distribution orifice operated by means of a device for control part of a front closure membrane.
  • Such valve present, however the drawback of not being able to guarantee a perfect and lasting closure of the liquid distribution orifice after the maneuvers.
  • the valve or the membrane shutter is not guided and, in addition, the operating means is subject to rapid fatigue preventing the persistence of elastic memory necessary to guarantee a watertight closure.
  • a tap for gaseous liquids comprising a diaphragm operated through of two joysticks.
  • This tap has an interface that acts as a diaphragm and acting on a piston which is secured to said diaphragm, this diaphragm being actuated by means of two joysticks extending above him.
  • it is necessary to develop a significant opening force by means of the levers, in order to deform the diaphragm in the direction of opening the tap valve.
  • This difficulty in opening the diaphragm is due to the fact that it is made of the same material as the valve body, in a single molding operation. It follows that the diaphragm or dome, secured with the piston, is not elastic by nature but by constitution during the manufacturing, elasticity or semi-rigidity necessary for its deformation to the actuation of the piston being obtained only by the forecast of lines circular weakening in the form of grooves.
  • such a tap cannot be monostable, i.e. have elasticity allowing a reliable spring effect without back pressure.
  • the flexibility of the diaphragm or dome is not alone sufficient to ensure correct alternate openings and closings of the tap and only one pressure of the product contained in the container provided of this valve is likely to guarantee closing by action on the piston and to guarantee watertightness.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks existing taps and to propose a tap with a very high barrier to oxygen, easily maneuverable, guaranteeing automatic closing without additional action of the content and including the manufacture of parts components and their assembly can be carried out in a simple manner and fast, so that their cost price can be significantly reduced.

  • FIGS. 1 to 8 of the accompanying drawings show a valve distribution of liquids, which essentially consists of a body 1 of mounting in the drain of a container (not shown) and dispensing the liquid, by a valve or a membrane 2 for sealing off an orifice 3 liquid distribution, provided with a control member 4 and housed in the part of the body 1 opposite to that of mounting in the drain and by a means 5 for actuating said control member 4.
  • the body 1 for mounting in the bung of a container and for dispensing the liquid is made of bi-material by bi-injection or co-molding in a molded part single integrating the means 5 for actuating the control member 4 of the valve or diaphragm 2 for sealing the orifice 3 liquid distribution by spring effect, via a membrane deformable elastic made of a flexible material with a spring effect remanent, the rest of the body 1 being made of rigid material.
  • a membrane deformable elastic made of a flexible material with a spring effect remanent
  • the body 1 and the means 5 for actuating the member 4 of control of the valve or diaphragm 2 for closing the orifice 3 of liquid distribution can be done in a simple and inexpensive manner expensive in a single molding operation, by bi-injection or co-molding of two materials with different mechanical characteristics. Through elsewhere, the seal between the means 5 and the body 1 is perfectly ensured.
  • valve or the diaphragm 2 for closing the orifice 3 for dispensing liquid is, preferably constituted in the form of a piston, the head 2 'of which cooperates by form with the liquid distribution orifice 3 and which is charged by a 2 "compression spring, said piston being provided with a piston rod forming the control member 4 and being guided in a bracket 2 '"of mounting in the body 1, above the dispensing orifice 3.
  • the compression spring 2 rests directly on the rear face of the piston constituting the valve or the membrane 2 for closing the liquid distribution orifice 3, surrounds the piston rod forming the control member 4 or extending on either side of said rod ( Figure 10) and is connected at its other end to the 2 '"stirrup mounting in the body 1, above the dispensing orifice 3.
  • all the constituent elements of the valve or membrane 2 for closing the liquid distribution orifice 3 can advantageously be made by molding in one piece.
  • Such a realization of the valve or of the membrane 2 allows, on the one hand, a simple and inexpensive manufacturing and, on the other hand, a limitation of parts of the valve, so that the assembly operations are reduced and that the corresponding cost can be reduced accordingly.
  • the compression spring 2 consists of a pair of elastic blades each connected by one end to the end of the rod piston forming the control member 4 and by its other end to the caliper 2 '"mounting in the body 1, the control unit 4 - valve assembly or membrane 2 - 2 '"stirrup being made in a single molding piece, the elastic blades forming the 2 "compensation spring for guiding of the piston rod.
  • the control member 4 forming the piston rod constituting the valve or diaphragm 2 has a free end portion housed in the caliper 2 "', crossing the end of the latter opposite the orifice of distribution 3 of the body 1 and provided with a device 7 for connection with the corresponding end of the actuating means 5 penetrating into the body 1.
  • This connection device 7 can be in the form of a through hole by the correspondingly shaped end of the actuating means 5 (figures 1, 3 to 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10).
  • the device 7 can also consist of two parallel grooves, inclined relative to the axis of the control member 4, near its free end, and cooperating with the corresponding end in fork shape of the actuating means 5.
  • the means 5 for actuating the control member 4 of the valve or diaphragm 2 for sealing the orifice 3 liquid distribution is advantageously constituted by a rod maneuver 5 'extending in the body 1, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the latter, made of a rigid material, cooperating at one end, the interior of said body 1, with the connection device 7 of the end corresponding to the control member 4, and by a control button 5 "forming the deformable elastic membrane, which is advantageously made of a flexible material with a residual spring effect, bi-injected or co-molded with the body 1 and with the operating rod 5 'and connected, on the one hand, tightly with the end of the body 1 opposite to that of mounting in the drain of a container and, on the other hand, with the end of the rod of maneuver 5 'opposite the valve or the diaphragm 2 for sealing the liquid distribution orifice 3.
  • the conformation of the 5 "control in a flexible material with a residual spring effect allows the easy operation of the rod 5 ', while ensuring perfect sealing of the tap.
  • the free end of the operating rod 5 ' is advantageously wedge-shaped and cooperates with a wall of corresponding slope of the connection device 7 of the corresponding end of the control 4.
  • FIG. 5 of the accompanying drawings shows a variant of embodiment of the invention, in which the 5 "control button of the means 5 for actuating the valve control member 4 or the diaphragm 2 for tightly sealing the orifice 3 for distributing the liquid is loaded by a return spring 5 "'advantageously mounted on the rod 5 'operation and integral, on the side opposite to the 5 "control button, the 2 '"mounting bracket for the valve or diaphragm 2 for closing off the liquid distribution orifice 3 in the body 1.
  • the forecast of such 5 '"return spring optimizes the operation of the 5 "control by favoring its return to the rest position after each operation of the valve or diaphragm 2, so that the closing action said valve or membrane 2 by the compression spring 2 "is optimized and that a perfectly sealed obturation of the orifice 3 of distribution of liquid can be obtained.
  • Figure 6 of the accompanying drawings shows another variant of embodiment of the invention, in which the compression spring 2 "is consisting of a curved blade, connected at one end to the upper end of the 2 '"stirrup, elastically deformable and supported by its free end on the end of the piston rod forming the member control valve 4 or diaphragm 2.
  • the end of the blade resting on the end of the rod piston forming the control member 4 can also be integral with this end, so that all of the components of the valve or of the membrane 2 can be produced by molding in one piece.
  • FIG. 7 of the accompanying drawings shows another variant of embodiment of the invention, in which the valve or the membrane 2 watertight closure of the liquid distribution orifice 3 is doubled by a second valve or membrane 12 for sealing off an orifice 13 air inlet, this valve or membrane 12 being operated by means of means 5 for actuating the control member 4 of said valve or said membrane 2 for sealing off the orifice 3 for distributing the liquid.
  • the constitution of this second shutter valve 12 air-tight opening 13 may be identical to that of the valve or of the diaphragm 2 for sealing off the orifice 3 for distributing the liquid, the section of the opening of the orifice 13 preferably being lower than that of the liquid distribution orifice 3.
  • a tap as well produced is particularly suitable for mounting on a rigid container, whose tap requires an air intake.
  • This tap allows emptying correct packaging, smoothly, the flowing liquid being replaced by a siphoning effect by the air entering through the orifice 13, this following the unique operation of the means 5.
  • Valves or membranes 2 and 12 respectively shutter sealed from the liquid distribution orifice 3 and sealed closure of the air inlet orifice 13 can advantageously be produced in the form of a single molding piece. So these valves or membranes 2 and 12 can be mounted in a single, quick and simple operation in the body 1.
  • FIGS 8 and 9 of the accompanying drawings show another variant embodiment of the invention, in which the operating rod 5 ' constituting the means 5 for actuating the valve control member 4 or of the waterproof sealing membrane 2 of the orifice 3 for distributing the liquid is advantageously connected to the corresponding end of the body 1 by means of flexible bridges 18 made of the same material as said rod 5 'and that the body 1 and overmolded by the constitutive flexible material of the membrane forming the 5 "control button, during co-molding or bi-injection of the whole.
