Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verbinden eines Behälters zur Aufnahme von Getränkeflüssigkeiten, wie Bier, Softdrinks und Wein, mit einem Fitting, wobei der Behälter eine Blase aufweist, die oben, an ihrem Kopfende mit einem kragenartigen Anschlussmittel ausgebildet ist, das zum Abfüllen der Flüssigkeit mit dem Fitting verbindbar ist, der verschließbare Öffnungen für einerseits ein Druckgas und andererseits die Flüssigkeit besitzt.The invention relates to a device for connecting a container for holding beverage liquids, such as beer, soft drinks and wine, with a fitting, wherein the container has a bubble which is formed at the top, at its head end with a collar-like connection means for filling the liquid can be connected to the fitting, the closable openings for a compressed gas on the one hand and on the other hand has the liquid.
Solchermaßen ausgebildete, insbesondere aus PET hergestellte Behälter bzw. Blasen sind oftmals mit einem darin eingebrachten Sack oder dergleichen Beutel zur Aufnahme der Getränke versehen. Dieser entfaltet sich beim Befüllen und verhindert, dass Luft in das Getränk kommt oder Kohlendioxyd entweicht.Such trained, in particular made of PET containers or bubbles are often provided with a bag introduced therein or the like bag for receiving the drinks. This unfolds when filling and prevents air from entering the drink or carbon dioxide escapes.
Die Behälter bzw. Blasen kommen vorzugsweise in Getränke-Ausschankeinrichtungen zum mit CO2-Druckgas betriebenen Ausschank von auf Trinktemperatur temperierten Getränken wie Bier, Softdrinks und Wein zum Einsatz. Bei Betätigung eines Zapfhebels wird das Getränk über einen von oben in das Blaseninnere bzw. den Innenbeutel hineinragendes Steigrohr zum Getränkeauslass ausgetrieben.The containers or bubbles are preferably used in beverage dispensing facilities for CO 2 -gas operated serving of tempered to drink temperature drinks such as beer, soft drinks and wine for use. When a dispensing lever is actuated, the beverage is expelled to the beverage outlet via a riser tube projecting from above into the interior of the bladder or inner bag.
Eine solche Getränke-Ausschankeinrichtung ist beispielsweise durch die
Durch die
Des weiteren ist es im Stand der Technik bekannt, dass der den Zapfkopf aufnehmende Sicherheitsfitting beim Einbau in das Behälteroberteil mit der Behälterwandung verpresst wird, wodurch eine nicht wieder lösbare Verbindung entsteht. Diese sogenannten Einweggewinde werden nach der Getränkeentnahme zusammen mit dem aufgepressten Sicherheitsfitting entsorgt.Furthermore, it is known in the prior art that the tap head receiving safety fitting is pressed when installed in the container top with the container wall, creating a non-detachable connection. These so-called disposable threads are disposed of after beverage removal together with the pressed-on safety fitting.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, für einen gattungsgemäßen Getränkebehälter eine sichere und einfach austauschbare Verbindungsmöglichkeit mit dem Fitting bzw. Sicherheitsfitting zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide for a generic beverage container a safe and easy replaceable connection with the fitting or safety fitting.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen das Anschlussmittel der Blase mit einer Rastnut des Fittings von außen her verbindenden, nach einer vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung sogleich an das Anschlussmittel angeformten und somit einen integrierten, nicht verlierbaren Bestandteil der Blase darstellenden Adapterring gelöst. In diesen braucht der Fitting nur eingeschoben zu werden, bis ein Rastvorsprung des Adapterrings in die Rastnut des Fittings eingreift. Ein solcher Adapterring ermöglicht es, einen herkömmlichen Einwegkeg-Fitting auch für eine PET-Blase zu nutzen.This object is achieved by connecting the connecting means of the bubble with a locking groove of the fitting from the outside, according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention immediately formed on the connecting means and thus an integrated, not lost part of the bubble performing adapter ring. In these, the fitting only needs to be inserted until a locking projection of the adapter ring engages in the locking groove of the fitting. Such an adapter ring makes it possible to use a conventional one-way plug fitting for a PET bladder.
Eine andere Ausführung der Erfindung sieht einen einstückigen, mit der Rastnut des Fittings und dem kragenartigen Anschlussmittel der Blase verrastbaren Adapterring vor. Der separate, aus einem Kunststoffmaterial gefertigte Adapterring wird vor dem Verbinden des Fittings mit der Blase von unten auf den Fitting aufgeschoben. Nachdem der Fitting unter Zwischenschaltung einer radialen Dichtung auf einen innerhalb des kragenartigen Anschlussmittels der Blase umlaufenden, glattflächigen Vorsprung aufgesetzt wurde, wird der Adapterring auf dem Fitting in vertikaler Richtung so weit nach unten verschoben, bis einerseits sein oberes Anschlussende mit der umlaufenden Nut des Fittings und andererseits sein unteres Anschlussende mit dem kragenartigen bzw. ringförmig vorspringenden Anschlussmittel der Blase verrastet.Another embodiment of the invention provides an integral, with the locking groove of the fitting and the collar-like connection means of the bubble lockable adapter ring. The separate, made of a plastic material adapter ring is before connecting the fitting with the bladder pushed from below onto the fitting. After the fitting has been placed with the interposition of a radial seal on a within the collar-like connection means of the bubble circumferential, smooth-surfaced projection, the adapter ring on the fitting in the vertical direction is moved so far down until on the one hand its upper terminal end with the circumferential groove of the fitting and On the other hand, its lower connection end locked with the collar-like or annular projecting connection means of the bladder.
Zum Verrasten des Adapterrings mit dem Fitting und der Blase wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass das obere und untere Anschlussende des Adapterrings mit Rastvorsprüngen ausgebildet ist, von denen der obere Rastvorsprung in die Rastnut des Fittings eingreift und der untere Rastvorsprung das kragenartige Anschlussmittel untergreift. Sowohl der obere als auch der untere Rastvorsprung ist einstückig und umlaufend jeweils am Innenumfang des oberen bzw. des unteren Anschlussendes des Adapterrings angeformt. Das dem Außendurchmesser des Fittings angepasste obere Anschlussende weist gegenüber dem dem Außendurchmesser des kragenartigen Anschlussmittels angepassten unteren Anschlussende einen geringeren Durchmesser auf, so dass sich im Übergang des Adapters zwischen dem oberen und dem unteren Anschlussende eine nach oben hin verjüngende Schrägfläche ergibt. Diese Schrägfläche bzw. Stufe des Adapterrings liegt nach dem Verrasten des Fittings mit der Blase unter Vorspannung bündig auf einer komplementär dazu nasenförmig ausgebildeten Außenkontur des kragenartigen Anschlussmittels auf, wodurch eine Stabilisierung des Adapterrings erreicht wird.For locking the adapter ring with the fitting and the bladder, the invention proposes that the upper and lower connection end of the adapter ring is formed with latching projections, of which the upper latching projection engages in the latching groove of the fitting and the lower latching projection engages under the collar-like connection means. Both the upper and the lower latching projection is formed integrally and circumferentially respectively on the inner circumference of the upper and the lower terminal end of the adapter ring. The upper connection end adapted to the outer diameter of the fitting has a smaller diameter compared with the lower connection end adapted to the outer diameter of the collar-like connection means, so that an upwardly tapering oblique surface results in the transition of the adapter between the upper and lower connection ends. This inclined surface or step of the adapter ring is located after locking the fitting with the bubble under bias flush on a complementary thereto nose-shaped outer contour of the collar-like connection means, whereby a stabilization of the adapter ring is achieved.
Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Anschlussenden radial federnd am Mittelteil des Adapterrings angebunden sind. Dadurch werden die Anschlussenden über die innen liegenden, oberen und unteren Rastvorsprünge beim Verbindungsvorgang einerseits am Fitting und andererseits an der schräg verlaufenden Außenkontur des kragenartigen Anschlussmittels nach außen aufgeweitet. Sobald sich der obere Rastvorsprung in Deckungslage mit der umlaufenden Nut im Fitting befindet und der untere Rastvorsprung das kragenartige Anschlussmittel passiert hat, federn bzw. schnappen die Anschlussenden in ihre Ausgangslage zurück, wobei der obere Rastvorsprung sicher und fest in die Nut des Fittings einrastet und der untere Rastvorsprung das kragenartige Anschlussmittel formschlüssig untergreift.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the connection ends are connected radially resiliently on the central part of the adapter ring. As a result, the connection ends on the inner, upper and lower locking projections during the connection process on the one hand on the fitting and on the other hand at the oblique extending outer contour of the collar-like connection means expanded to the outside. As soon as the upper locking projection is in covering position with the circumferential groove in the fitting and the lower locking projection has passed the collar-like connection means, the connecting ends spring back or snap back into their starting position, wherein the upper locking projection securely and firmly engages in the groove of the fitting and the lower latching projection engages the collar-like connection means positively.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der obere Rastvorsprung mit einer sich nach unten hin verjüngenden Einführschräge ausgebildet ist. Diese zentriert den Fitting und erleichtert das Aufschieben des Adapterringes. Zudem gleitet der solchermaßen ausgebildete Rastvorsprung mit einer nur geringen Anlagefläche über den Fitting, wie auch das Eintauchen des oberen Rastvorsprungs in die Nut des Fittings begünstigt wird.A further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the upper latching projection is formed with a downwardly tapered insertion bevel. This centers the fitting and facilitates the sliding of the adapter ring. In addition, the thus formed locking projection slides with only a small contact surface on the fitting, as well as the immersion of the upper locking projection is favored in the groove of the fitting.
Demgegenüber ist der untere Rastvorsprung erfindungsgemäß mit einer sich nach oben hin verjüngenden Anlaufschräge ausgebildet. Diese ermöglicht beim Aufstülpen des unteren Anschlussendes des Adapterrings auf das kragenförmige Anschlussmittel der Blase ein zentriertes, einfaches Hinabgleiten auf der nasenförmigen Außenkontur des Kragens. Weiterhin wird durch die Anlaufschräge die radiale Spreizung des unteren Anschlussendes beim Passieren des kragenförmigen Anschlussmittels unterstützt.In contrast, the lower latching projection according to the invention is formed with a tapered upwards bevel. This allows when slipping the lower terminal end of the adapter ring on the collar-shaped connection means of the bubble a centered, simple sliding down on the nose-shaped outer contour of the collar. Furthermore, the radial spread of the lower connection end when passing through the collar-shaped connection means is supported by the run-on slope.
