Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a beer dispensing tap, comprising: - a tap body provided with a beer inlet and outlet; - an opening and closing valve, associated with a drive handle; said valve being provided with an internal passage and housed in the tap body with the possibility of turning between opening and closing positions of the beer passage and; - valve retaining means in an intermediate position of foam generation.
  • This tap has the particularity that said retention means comprise a retention plate provided with a recess suitable for the coupling of a ball and the retention of the handle and the valve in a certain intermediate position of foam generation; said valve comprising a calibrated orifice of a suitable diameter for the tap to provide a predetermined amount of foam in said intermediate foam generation position.
  • This invention is applicable in the field dedicated to the manufacture of beer dispensing taps.
  • a lateral cutting tap for beer dispenser comprising a hollow body provided with a beer inlet and an outlet towards a dispensing spout, and an opening and closing valve provided with an angled passage to control the passage of beer from the entrance to the exit, when it is actuated through an axis linked to a turning lever.
  • the faucet is provided with means for selecting the position of the handle that secure and fix the handle in at least one specific position of closing the tap, and a specific position of atomizing the beer for the creation of foam , without having to hold the handle for it.
  • the opening position the surface of the valve passage fully coincides with the beer inlet; in the closed position the surface of said passage has no coincidence with the beer inlet, and in the foam generating position, it coincides with a small part of its surface with the beer inlet.
  • the means for selecting the position of the handle can be of different types, being constituted for example by: a magnetic mechanism, a spring or strap mechanism; or a snap mechanism.
  • the ball is associated to the handle and the mentioned housing defined in the body of the tap.
  • This fitting mechanism has a series of drawbacks, among which are: -
  • the recess for the housing of the retention ball requires a high precision machining, since its position determines the degree of coincidence of the surface of the passage of the valve with the beer inlet and consequently the capacity of the tap for the creation of foam;
  • the repetitive action of the ball against the surface of the carrier part of the recess and against the edges of said recess requires that the part in question be made of steel, the possibility of making said part in other materials of lower mechanical resistance and cost, such as aluminum, resin or plastic, among others.
  • the beer dispensing tap object of the present invention is of the type comprising: - a tap body provided with a beer inlet and outlet; - an opening and closing valve associated with an actuating lever, said valve being provided with an internal passage and housed in the faucet body with the possibility of turning between opening and closing positions of the beer passage and, - means of valve retention in an intermediate position of foam generation.
  • This beer dispenser tap presents constructive particulars aimed at satisfactorily solving the exposed problem.
  • the valve comprises a calibrated orifice of a suitable section to generate a predetermined amount of beer foam when the valve is disposed in the intermediate foam generation position, in which the passage of The opening valve is in a closed position and said calibrated orifice faces the beer inlet, establishing a communication between the beer inlet and the valve passage.
  • this beer dispensing tap has valve retention means in said intermediate position which are arranged in the faucet body and in a rotating part integral with the handle of the faucet and comprising: a retention ball, housed in an orifice of the body or of the rotating part, and which is displaced by a spring towards an outstanding position; and - a retention plate, coupled to the rotating part or to the tap body and forming a contact surface of the retention ball during the relative rotation of the tap body and the rotating part between the opening and closing positions of the tap ; said retention plate comprising a recess arranged in a position suitable for the fit of the ball and the retention of the handle and the valve in the intermediate position of foam generation.
  • the definition of the recess in the retention plate provides different advantages of use, since it determines the intermediate position of foam generation; and the machining of said recessing is not carried out in the faucet body, nor in the rotating part associated with the actuating lever, thus eliminating the risk of machining errors of said recessing and irreversible deterioration of the rotating part or of the tap body.
  • the retention plate is preferably formed in a material of greater hardness than the body, or the rotating part, carrier of said retention plate, which allows said body or rotating part to be manufactured in a material of lower resistance. and cost; for example: aluminum, resin, plastic, or similar.
