A CARBONATED DRINK DISPENSER

This invention relates to apparatus useful in carbonated drink dispensers in general, and more particularly to a device for coupling a gas cylinder to a fitting with a preferred feature of a mechanism for vveighing the contents of such a cylinder, the device and mechanism being particularly useful in a carbonated drink dispenser. U.S. Patent 4,520,950 discloses an in-home drink dispenser vvhich includes a source of concentrate, e.g.syrup, a carbonator vvhich is filled with ice and vvater and a carbon dioxide tank for supplying carbon dioxide to carbonate the vvater in the tank. In such an in-home drink dispenser, since the cylinders are being handled by people not used to such, there is a need to provide for ease of use, as well as ease of an insertion and removal of the cylinder from the drink dispenser. It is also important to know how much carbon dioxide is left. Knovving when one is about to run out of carbon dioxide is of great importance, particularly vvhere a cylinder is not immediately on hand. The carbonator can be refilled vvith vvater and ice; hovvever, if one runs out of carbon dioxide, at a time vvhen the supplier is not open for business, it may be necessary to wait, possibly over a vveekend, to get a nevv cylinder. Thus, the need for an indication of this Ievel is particularly important.

The present invention provides a mechanism particularly useful in an in-home drink dispenser and vvhich allovvs a consumer to easily install a CO2 cylinder in a carbonated drink dispenser and preferably to monitor the CO2 usage. The mechanism of the present invention is useful in most drink dispensers but is most opportunely used in a drink dispenser such as the one 2 disclosed in European Patent Application No. 0223209 claiming priority from USA Patent Application Serial No. 799,911, entitled Ίη-Home Drink Dispenser" assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.

In a typical dispenser, it is necessary to connect the carbon dioxide cylinder to the system. This is done with a connection vvhich, when the connection is made, opens a valve to allovv a flow of carbon dioxide out of the gas cylinder. (See for example U.S. Patents 4,408,701; 4,328,909; 4,363,424; 4,523,697; 4,520,580; 4,570,830; 4,564,483 and 799,201). In the connections disclosed in the aforementioned applications, a connecting means which provides a relatively high mechanical advantage is provided. This was thought necessary at the time because of the high pressure acting on the probe entering the cylinder, this pressure being too high for the average person to operate against when inserting the cylinder. This, of course, made insertion of the cylinder more difficult. According to the present invention there is provided a carbonated drink dispenser comprising a) a fitting having an elongated thin probe, and passage means for the passage of carbon dioxide gas through the fitting; b) a carbon dioxide cylinder removably connectible to the fitting, said cylinder comprising a check valve in the neck thereof vvhich is opened by the probe when the cylinder is opened by the probe when the cylinder is connected to the fitting to enable carbon dioxide gas to pass from the cylinder into said passage means and through the fitting, characterised in that the dispenser is constructed so that the cylinder and fitting are connected by positioning the cylinder with the probe aligned with the check valve follovved by the moving of the cylinder and fitting relatively together in the direction of the probe so that the probe opens the check valve and in that the probe is of such thinness that said movement of the cylinder and fitting relatively together can be achieved by direct manual effort in the direction of the probe.

Preferably the cylinder is connectible to the fitting by a simple connection comprising bayonet pins vvhich fit into appropriate bayonet slots on the neck of the cylinder. Preferably also the cylinder is suspended from the fitting containing the probe, the fitting also containing a pressure regulator. By so suspending the gas cylinder, it is possible to measure its vveight by providing an upvvard bias to the probe fitting, using suitable springs. 3 3 LV 11306 ln accordance with a preferred arrangement of the present invention, the fitting to which the gas cylinder is attached is supported rotatably vvithin a hood, the hood forming a Iever which is blesed upwardly. The hood rotates on a shaft supported in a bracket vvhich is attached to a wall of the dispenser. Springs act betvveen the bracket and the hood to bias the hood upwardly. A mechanism, including a planar member, vvhich is guided in a curved slot, maintains the probe vertical so that in any position the user can easily insert a gas cylinder as indicated above onto the probe vvithout difficulty. The planar member vvhich is guided and vvhich maintains the pin vertical is also provided vvith indicators visible through a vvindovv to indicate the degree of the fullness of the cylinder. A fuil cylinder will act against the spring and pull the hood ali the way dovvn. As the cylinder is used up, the hood will begin to move upwardly until, vvhen the cylinder is completely empty, the hood vvill be fully up. In accordance vvith a preferred feature of the present invention, the spring is adapted to begin moving the gas cylinder upvvard only over the last part of the supply, e.g. the last ten percent. Thus, as soon as movement starts the user knovvs that he is getting near the end of his supply.

The cylindrical member vvhich engages the probe fitting is formed vvith a pair of arms. The arms are aligned vvith axial slots vvhich are used for engaging the pins on the probe fitting vvhen locking the two fittings together. By aligning the arms vvith the axial slots, the user is given a guide and knovvs exactly how to line up the gas cylinder to insert it onto the probe fitting. Preferably, on the hood, there are alignment markings and an arrovv, indicating to the user the direction in vvhich to rotate the handles or arms so as to lockthe cylindrical member and, therefore, the C02cylinder in place. In the illustrated embodiment, there are holes at the ends of the arms through vvhich a finger can be inserted to hold the gas cylinder. A cover is also placed over this fitting for decorative and protective purposes. The cover has a tear-away tab on the top to allovv access to the cylindrical member and fitting vvhen attaching to the probe fitting. The tab cover, hovvever, provides protection during shipping and remains in place until the cylinder is to be used.

An embodiment of the invention vvill novv be described by way of example, vvith reference to the accompanying dravvings, vvherein:- 4

Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective vievvs of the in-home drink dispenser in vvhich the mechanism of the present invention may be used. Fig. 1 shovvs the drink dispenser 11 vvith its doors closed. Fig. 2 shovvs the dispenser 11 vvith its carbonator door 13 and CO2 compartment door 15 opened, and the CO2 cartridge 17 and carbonator tank 18 removed. Also visible in Fig. 2 is the syrup cartridge 19. The CO2 cylinder 17 has a cover 23 for ease in handling and also for mounting into the machine in a manner to be described belovv.

Figs. 3 -5 illustrate the cover assembly for the carbon dioxide cylinder 17 and its connection to a regulator vvhich also acts as a vveighing mechanism. Referring to Fig. 3, over the end of the gas cylinder 17 there is placed an O-ring seal 701. Next a member 703, vvhich has an inner vvasher-like portion, is placed over the neck section 704 of cylinder 17, and held in place by a flange on threaded fitting 705 threaded into the threads 707 in the neck section of the cylinder 17. The fitting 705 contains a check valve vvhich is operated vvhen an appropriate pin or probe is inserted into its opening 709. The pin and valve opening arrangement are shovvn in Figs. 30A, 30B and 5 5 LV 11306 30C and referring to these figurēs, the fitting 705 is shovvn as having the opening 709 which leads to a chamber 709A containing a valve bail 709B which is urged by a spring 709C against a seat at the end of opening 709. The bail 709B therefore prevents the escape of carbon dioxide through the opening 709. The member 713 vvhich operates the valve bail 709B and vvhichis described hereinafter is also shovvn, and this member is provided with a slender probe 713A vvhich, when the members 731 and 705 are brought together, enters the opening 709 as shovvn in Fig. 30B and unseats the bail 709B allovving carbon dioxide to flow from the carbon dioxide cylinder. An O-ring seal 709D in the opening 709 engages the vvall of the probe 731A to prevent escape of gas past the said seal 709B when the bail 709B is unseated as shovvn.

As shovvn in Fig. 3C, the probe 731A is provided vvith a small bore 731B vvhich is offset relative to the centre line of the probe so that the bail 709B will not in fact block the bore 731B through vvhich the gas has to escape in order to enter the dispenser.

The characteristic of the probe 731A is that it is of small diameter compared to conventional probe connections as used for carbon dioxide cylinders. Usually these probe connections require the assistance of a mechanical advantage device to enable the cylinders to be connected to the dispensers, vvhereas in the case of the present arrangement, the probe is of such small diameter that connection can take place by the application of manual force. Typically, the probe diameter may be of the order of 1/8th inch for use vvith a gas cylinder of vvhich the internai pressure is of the order of 800 Ibs per square inch. With this arrangement, a force of only 10 Ibs is required in order to connect the gas cylinder to the fitting 731, but it is vvithin the scope of this invention to use cylinder probes of different diameter depending upon the internai pressure of the gas cylinder, but optimally one should aim for providing an arrangement vvherein a coupling force of the order of 10 Ibs is ali that is required in order to couple the cylinder to the fitting.

Member 703 contains a Central cylindrical portion 711 vvith tvvo arms 713 at the ends of vvhich rings 715 are formed as finger grips. As best seen from Fig. 5, on the inside of the cylindrical portion 711 are formed tvvo diametrically opposed axially extending slots 719 vvhich lead to 6 circumferentially extending locking slots 720. These are also shovvn in Fig. 4. A cover 23 is snapped over the member 703 to give the cylinder the finished appearance illustrated in Fig. 2. The cover is snapped so as to enclose the top of the cylinder 17 as well as the member 703 and includes side parts 721 with openings 723 vvhich align vvith the openings 715 formed in the arms 713 of member 703. These openings permit a finger grip for ease in handling of the cylinder. The cover 23 contais a tear-away top portion 725 with a tab 727 provided to tear off the cover to permit ease of access to the fitting 709.

The handlies 713 or 721 also act as an alignment means. As can be seen from Fig. 5, the axial slots 719 are aligned with the handle 721. Thus, when inserting the gas cylinder on to regulator assembly 729 vvhich has a mating fitting 731 with projections 733 thereon, for engaging in the slots 719 and 720, the handlies can be used for alignment purposes. The user simply lines up the handles with the pins 733 and then rotates the handlies 721 until they are in a predetermined position in vvhich the cylinder is locked in place against the fitting 731. The fitting 731 includes a hollovv probe (not shovvn) vvhich fits in and seals vvithin the opening 709 and opens the valve therein to permit the flow of carbon dioxide through the regulator and into the rest of the system.

The regulator is also shovvn in Fig. 6 vvhich is an exploded vievv of the regulator and vveighing assembly. The fitting 731 of the regulator 729 vvith its pins 733 is visible at the bottom of Fig. 6. A shaft 735 extends out from both ends of the regulator. Shaft 735 on the left hand side contains a flat 737. A member 739 to be described in more detail belovv is placed over this end of the shaft 735. The vvhole assembly, generally indicated as 740 is inserted into a hood 741 containing holes 743 on each side thereof for accepting the shaft 735. The shaft 735 on the left hand side is held in place in a cylindrical recess 745 attached to the regulator 729 by means of a cotter or split pin 747. Thus, after the shaft 735 on the right hand side is inserted through its hole 743, the recess 745 is aligned vvith the hole 743 on the left and the shaft 735 on the left hand side inserted and secured in place vvith cotter or split pin 747. Thereafter the member 739 can be placed over the end of the shaft 735. The hood 741 has a brim 749 containing thereon indicia 751 and 753 along vvith arrovvs 755. The indicia indicate to the user the proper alignment for the 7 7 LV 11306 handles 721 in the position vvhere the bottle is inserted and the position where it is locked in place. The hood 741 is held in an assembly 757. This assembly includes a U-shaped bracket 759 having holes 761 in its base for mounting vvithin the gas cylinder compartment of the dispenser. Extending through the two legs of this U-shaped bracket 759 is a shaft 763. At each end of the shaft is a spring 765. This is a coil spring containing arms 767 and 769 each of vvhich are bent at their ends so as to have a portion parallel to the axis of the spring. The portion 767 contains an axially extending portion 771 and portion 769 contains an axially extending portion 773. Portion 771 engages in one of a plurality of holes 775 in the arm of the bracket 759. The bracket 759 encloses the rear portion of the hood 741 with the shaft 763 extending through the opening 777 and the inwardly extending portion 773 engaging in holes 779. Thus, hood 741 rotates on shaft '763 and is biased upwardly by springs 765.

Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate manner in vvhich the vveighing mechanism operates. The previously mentioned member 739 comprises a planar member containing an arcuate slot 781 therein. The slot 781 slidably engages a pin 782 provided on the inside of one of the vvalls of the cylinder compartment vvhich is adjacent to the planar member 739. Its purpose is to maintain the axis of the fitting 731 vertical irrespective of the rotation of the hood 741. Fig. 7 shovvs the hood 741 rotated upwardly, corresponding to an empty bottle or no bottle in place. Fig. 8 illustrates the hood 741 rotated downwardly vvith a full bottle in place. It vvill be recoghised that the ločus of shaft 735 moving betvveen the position of Figs. 7 and 8 vvill exhibit curved motion and, vvere it not for the slot 781 and pin 782 and the rigid connection of the member 739 to the shaft 735, vvhich in turn is rigidly connected to the regulator 729 and thus to the fitting 731, rotation of the regulator 729 and fitting 731 vvould take place. It is important that the axis of the fitting 731 be maintained vertical so that CO2 bottles can be easily removed and inserted. The springs 765, thus, tend to bias the cover 741 upwardly into the position shovvn in Fig. 7. The vveight of a full CO2 cylinder acts against this biasing action to bring the cover dovvnvvard to the position shovvn in Fig. 8. The biasing force of the spring 765 may be changed based on the users selection of the various holes 775 in bracket 759. 8

The member 739 performs a second function, the function of an indicator. At the bottom of the member 739 are painted two areas 783 and 785. Area 783 is painted green, for example, and area 785 is painted red. A vievving window 787 is provided in the drink dispenser housing through which the painted areas 783 and 785 can be observed. With a full bottle, one looks through the vievving window 787 and sees the green area 783. As the bottle begins to empty, the red area 785 begins to appear untill, when ali red, the bottle is essentially empty. Pteferably, the biasing force of the springs 765 is such that they operate only over the last ten percent of carbon dioxide in the bottle. That is to say, only when the bottle is, for example, 10 percent full will the bottle become light enough so that the spring begins to move the cover 741 upwardly. This gives a better indication at the end of supply than vvould a linear system vvhich vvould be difficult to calibrate. LV 11306
