Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for dispensing a combined stream of at least two individual substances for consumption, their consistency ranging from liquid to soft-plastic.
  • an apparatus which permits to dispense measured amounts of viscous substances to influence the flavour, e.g. ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard or the like.
  • Such an apparatus taken separately, allows of dispensing one specific individual substance only.
  • Such an apparatus is completely sufficient for consumers who desire only one of these substances individually in order to change the flavour of food, e.g. chips, as well as for consumers who desire to have more than one substance, yet arranged separately on a plate.
  • the owner of the food supply shop e.g. a snack-bar or the like, is required to provide such apparatus in a number equal to the number of the various flavoured substances offered.
  • the primary object underlying the invention is to create an apparatus for dispensing a combined stream of at least two individual substances for consumption, their consistency ranging from liquid to soft-plastic.
  • the invention provides an apparatus characterised by a respective number of individual substance storage chambers, preferably in the form of respective individual substance storage containers, a respective number of individual substance pumps, the pumps each having an individual substance suction channel, dipped into a respective individual substance storage chamber, and an individual substance dispensing channel as well as a combined-stream dispensing head connected to the individual substance dispensing channels.
  • a combined-stream dispensing head arranged at the end of the pumping paths of the individual substances, as regarded in the direction of dispensing, i.e. subsequent to the individual substance dispensing channels of the pumps, makes it possible to employ essential components of a known apparatus suitable for dispensing only one individual substance, such as e.g. the entire pump assembly. Owing to the combining action being effected downstream from the individual substance pumps the shipping and storing containers containing and displaying the individual substances for sale may be used as individual substance storage containers. Consequently, the apparatus according to the invention is very inexpensive and can be manufactured with little expenditure.
  • the combined-stream dispensing head is designed so as to permit one individual substance being dispensed, apart from the possibility of combining the at least two individual substances. Owing to the combined-stream dispening head being arranged at the end of the individual substance dispensing channels again it is ensured that the channels of a specific individual substance stay clear of any considerable contamination with another individual substance. This is irrelevant in case it is desired that a combined stream of several individual substances be dispensed, however, might be considered favourable by the consumer if it is desired that a specific individual substance be dispensed individually.
  • the apparatus according to the invention may completely replace any known apparatus intended for individually dispensing specific individual substances: it is not necessary, at increased financial expense, to provide for e.g. a snack bar both individual substance dispensers and the combined stream dispenser of the present invention.
  • the combined-stream dispensing head may be designed as an individual substance mixing head with a mixed-stream outlet.
  • the different single substances are mixed with one another while passing through the head and being dispensed via a common outlet, thereby avoiding the necessity of any stirring of individually dispensed substances on a plate, which at times is an unsavoury and unpleasant sight.
  • the combined-stream dispensing head may comprise a plurality of mutually adjacent single-stream outlets, at least one respective single-stream outlet for each of the individual substances.
  • a dispensing head it is possible to produce a bundled substance stream consisting of several individual substance stream filaments, each of which may consist of a different individual substance.
  • Such a bundled substance stream is also a "combined stream" according to the terminology used for describing the present invention and, in shape and taste, resembles a combined stream in which the individual substances are intermixed.
  • the individual substance filaments may be optically discernible in such a bundled substance stream so that interesting optical multicolor effects may be obtained.
  • the single-stream outlets are such that they favour combining of the individual substance streams discharged therefrom to form a coherent stream after discharge from the single-stream outlets.
  • the single-stream outlets may converge in the outlet direction and/or the cross-section of the individual outlets and the distance between individual outlets may be chosen such that due to surface effects such as adhesion the individual substance streams approaching one another stick to each other after leaving the combined-stream dispensing head, even if no blending of the single substance streams occurs due to possibly strong viscous characteristics of the individual substances normally used (ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard etc).
  • the individual substances over the cross-sectional area of a combined substance stream discharged from a combined-stream dispensing head with a plurality of outlets it is proposed that for each individual substance a plurality of single-stream outlets be provided in the combined-stream dispensing head. If the single-stream outlets are disposed along concentric circles around a common outlet axis of the combined-stream dispensing head, it is possible to produce a combined substance stream substantially circular in cross-section and substantially homogeneous throughout the cross-sectional area thereof.
  • the single-stram outlets allocated to a specific individual substance are disposed along at least one circle each it is possible to achieve an approximately even circumferential distribution of the respective individual substance.
  • the supply channels for the individual substances leading to their allocated single-stream outlets may be constructed in a particularly simple manner, since the respective individual substance may be supplied as a central core stream and/or as one or several annular streams.
  • the single-stream outlets of a first individual substance are disposed along a first circle with a smaller diameter and the single-stream outlets of a second individual substance are disposed along a second circle with a larger diameter, each single-stream outlet of the larger circle each being uniformly spaced from two adjacent single-stream outlets of the smaller circle.
  • this measure can prevent that the first individual substance having a more liquid consistency runs out or spreads in an uncontrolled manner.
  • the combined-stream dispensing head be provided with a nozzle plate which, in a direction opposite to the outlet direction, is followed by a supply channel near to the centre, intended for a first individual substance.
  • the nozzle plate then is provided with a first group of outlet nozzles near to the centre, which are intended for the first individual substance and which are subsequent to the supply channel near to the centre.
  • the nozzle plate is equipped with a second group of outlet nozzles more remote from the centre, intended for a second individual substance, said outlet nozzles being connected with an annular chamber enclosing the supply channel near to the centre.
  • the outlet nozzles of both groups may conveniently be realised by bores extending substantially orthogonally to the plane of the nozzle plate.
  • a particularly simple embodiment of the combined-stream dispensing head in terms of manufacture and cleaning, is obtained if the nozzle plate is integral with a pipe neck forming the supply channel of the first individual substance and if the annular chamber is formed by a pot having a pot skirt and a pot bottom. According to the principle of pot and lid the nozzle plate then closes the pot at a rim opposite to the pot bottom, the pipe neck extending through a central hole in the bottom of the pot.
  • the cleaning of equipment getting into contact with food products is of special importance and thus it has to be carried out with great diligence.
  • this head is designed as a two-piece unit with individual structural members, each of which having very simple, geometrical basic structure. With such a unit dismantling and assembling for the purpose of general cleaning is particularly easy to carry out.
  • the pipe neck guided through the bottom of the pot may be connected directly with the individual substance dispensing channel of an individual substance pump.
  • the annular chamber has a supply channel for the second individual substance.
  • the supply channel for the second individual substance is formed by another pipe neck which extends from the bottom of the pot in a direction substantially opposite to the outlet direction and which is substantially parallel to the pipe neck forming the supply channel for the first individual substance.
  • the nozzle plate is arrested to the pot skirt rim opposite to the bottom of the pot and/or that the pipe neck integral with the nozzle plate is arrested to the bottom of the pot.
  • the combined-stream dispensing head is preferably connected with the respective individual substance outlet means of respective individual substance pumps by means of plug-in connections.
  • plug-in connections between the dispensing head and the individual substance outlet means of the individual substance pumps are easy to handle and thus advantageous with respect to the cleaning of the apparatus.
  • nozzle plate is provided with an integral pipe neck penetrating the bottom of the pot, separate arresting means for arresting the nozzle plate onto the pot may be omitted, if the plug-in connection between the pipe neck and the individual substance outlet means is resistant to disassembling such as to reliably retain the nozzle plate on the pot even if the individual substance in the annular space is pressurized.
  • the individual substance pumps are disposed on a common support. If the pumps are operated by a careless users who apply an unnecessary high force it is thereby achieved that, at least in the plane of the common support, the individual substance pumps will maintain their mutual position and that the combined-stream dispensing head cannot be broken off the outlet means of the individual pumps.
  • the common support of the individual substance pumps is formed by a lid member which may be common to the individual substance storage chambers.
  • the shipping containers of the substances are immediately used as individual substance storage containers.
  • the common support and more particularly said commonly allocated lid member may have variable shape. Therefore, it is not desirable in all of the possible cases that the pumps be rigidly fixed on the common support and it is suggested to arrange the individual substance pumps on the common support such that they may be adjusted in respective connecting positions for being connectable with the combined-stream dispensing head.
  • the individual substance pumps on the common support are pivotable about a respective pivot axis
  • the individual substance pumps are provided with an outlet arm each, which projects from the respective individual substance pump in a substantially radial direction with respect to the pivot axis
  • the combined-stream dispensing head is coupled after pivotal adjustment of the pumps to the outlet arms in a direction parallel to the pivot axis, in particular by means of a plug-in connection.
  • the pumps may also be adjustable as to their height and to their mutual distance in order to make a connection between the combined-stream dispensing head and the outlet means of the respective individual substance pumps possible when using supports of different form.
  • the consumer has the possibility of dispensing individual substances apart from the possibility of obtaining a composite or mixed stream of different individual substances.
  • the individual substance pumps be operable individually and/or by means of a common actuating member.
  • a common actuating member is suitably mounted on the common support as it is thereby possible to create a universally usable constructional unit which merely has to be coupled with the individual substance storage chambers in order to form the apparatus according to the invention.
  • the individual substance pumps each are equipped with a substantially vertically movable pump actuating member and that a hand-operable driver plate is pivotally mounted on the common support, which driver plate can act on the pump actuating members of the pumps in unison.
  • the driver plate which commonly acts on the pump actuating member is a simple and effective means to fulfil the requirement of synchronizing the pumps so that a combined stream with predetermined shares of all individual substances may be obtained.
  • the driver plate may be pivotally mounted on a bearing plate to pivot about a substantially horizontal first axis; this bearing plate may be pivotally mounted on the common support to pivot about a second axis, which is substantially parallel to the first axis, the two pivot axes being disposed substantially parallel to a virtual vertical connection plane of the individual substance pumps.
  • the common support of the pumps is suitably fixed on the individual substance storage chambers such that the rocking torque resulting from the lever action and acting on the support will not lift the support off the storage chambers.
  • the fixation of the support on the storage chambers may be brought about e.g. by snap connections, screw connections and the like.
  • engagement structures may be mounted on the the pump actuating members and/or on the driver plate. These engagement structures may be formed by e.g. profiles, recesses or the like, which are provided on the driver plate.
  • the driver plate may be removable from the area of engagement with the pump actuating members to such an extent that the actuating members of individual pumps may then be actuated individually by hand. The removal is preferably effected by pivoting the bearing plate such that it flatly rests on the common support and that the driver plate is then made rest on the bearing plate.
  • a common support of the individual substance pumps can be coupled with individual substance storage containers which directly accomodate the individual substances. It is conceivable that, after removing shipping or storing lids of individual substance storage containers, the common support can be coupled with these containers such as to form a replacement cover. It is also possible that the common support can be coupled with the individual substance storage containers while pushing pump suction pipes through wall portions, in particular the respective lids, of the individual substance containers.
  • the common support of the individual substance pumps can also be coupled with an over-container intended for continued use, in particular as a lid for this over-container.
  • the individual substance storage containers are then inserted into said over-container.
  • the individual substance storage containers are designed as disposable containers with a lid that can be removed or perforated, i.e. the individual substance storage containers will be replaced by new ones as soon as they have been emptied.
  • the individual substance storage containers are designed for repeated use, in particular for being recharged from a large drum, thus constituting a reusable container.
  • These reusable individual substance storage containers again may either be equipped with a disposable lid that can be removed and/or perforated or with a reusable lid that can be removed.
  • the apparatus according to the invention has a pleasant design if the common support of the individual substance pumps and/or the over-container are made of high-quality material, in particular stainless steel. Moreover, these components may be shaped as ornamental parts.
  • the individual substance pumps may be constructed as a multiple pump unit, and more particularly as a dual pump unit. Alternatively it is possible that the individual substance pumps are constructed as mono pump units which are connected by means of a common support.
  • an individual substance pump is designed as a piston pump having a pump piston in a piston chamber, said pump piston being pretensioned into an initial position within the piston chamber, the piston chamber being connected with the respective storage chamber via a first one-way valve, which opens toward the piston chamber, and being connected with the combined-stream dispensing head via another one-way valve, which opens toward the combined-stream dispensing head.
  • the individual substance pump is provided with a dispensing arm which projects substantially transversely to the movement direction of the respective pump piston, and if said dispensing arm is provided with respective connection means for the combined-stream dispensing head, in particular plug-in connection means, at its end remote from the pump piston, one can easily obtain sufficient height beneath the combined-stream dispensing head to insert a plate or the like under the combined-stream dispensing head as far as necessary to apply the individual substances in any chosen location thereon. This further facilitates connecting the combined-stream dispensing head with the pumps, as only the individual dispensing arms have to be adjusted to one another and as the dispensing head may then be attached under non-constricted room conditions without difficulty.
  • the apparatus according to the invention can be cleaned in two ways.
  • the entire undismantled pump assembly to togetherer with the combined-stream dispensing head may be rinsed with detergent or water, with the possibility of also filling the individual substance storage chambers with detergent and cleaning the apparatus by actuating the pumps.
  • the simple construction of both the pumps and the combined-stream dispensing head it is just as easy to dismantle the individual structural members and afterwards clean them individually.
  • a cuboid over-container which is open at the top, is referred to as 1.
  • the over-container is formed from stainless-steel plates which may be welded or soldered together. In principle, it is conceivable that also different materials, such as e.g. light metals or plastic materials can be used.
  • the dimension of the over-container 1 is chosen such that it can accomodate two storage-containers for different individual substances, preferably mayonnaise and ketchup, each of said storage containers having a capacity of approx. 3 l. Depending on the intended use, it is also possible to use any other dimension.
  • the over-container 1 is closed at the top by means of a lid plate 3 with a downwardly projecting rim.
  • the lid plate 1 may be coupled with the over-container 1 by locking means, which are not shown, so that the lid plate 1 is protected against separation, but nevertheless may at any time be removed in order to recharge or replace the individual substance storage containers.
  • the lid plate will preferably be made of metallic materials, as it has to absorb forces occurring during actuation of the pumps.
  • Fig. 1 Two identical individual substance pumps 5 and 7 are mounted on the lid plate 3, the individual components of the individual substance pumps being numbered in Fig. 1 only with regard to the pump 5.
  • Each of the pumps 5,7 has an elongate pump body 9 as well as a pump head 11 which is rounded at the top, which is movable in a vertical direction V with respect to the pump body 9 and which serves as a pump actuating member.
  • a dispensing arm 13 integral with the pump body 9 extends from the latter, said dispensing arm having an outlet 15 at its end remote from the pump body 9.
  • Fig. 1 fails to show that the pumps 5,7 dip into one respective individual substance storage container by means of suction pipes in order to be able to suck in the respective individual substance.
  • the pumps 5, 7 are conventional piston pumps, their construction and their fixing to the lid plate 3 being further illustrated in Fig. 5.
  • a bow 17 is fixed to the lid plate 3, said bow having a bar 19 which rests flat on the lid plate and two flanges 21 which are substantially orthogonal to the bar 19.
  • a bearing plate 23 is pivotally mounted on the flanges 21 to pivot about a first pivot axis 25 which extends substantially parallel to a vertical connection plane containing the double arrow V and a straight line G connecting the two pumps 5, 7.
  • a driver plate 25 is pivotable about a second pivot axis 29 on the bearing plate 23. The driver plate 29 acts in unison on the pump heads 11 and ensures synchronous actuation of the pump heads 11 when pivoting in a direction toward the lid plate 3.
  • the driver plate 27 If the user acts on the driver plate 27 adjacent to its end remote from the second pivot axis 27 a force reduction is obtained. If the driver plate 27, the bearing plate 23 and the bow 17 are arranged as shown, it is also possible to actuate the pumps individually in that the bearing plate 23 is swung away from the pumps 5,7 toward a position parallel to the lid plate 3 and that the driver plate 27 is hereupon swung toward the bearing plate 23.
  • a combined-stream dispensing head 31 is mounted to the outlets 15 of the respective dispensing arms 13 by means of plug-in connections.
  • said combined-stream dispensing head will be explained in greater detail with reference to Fig. 2a - 2f.

  • This plug-in connection may optionally be locked by locking means 41.
  • the nozzle plate 33 has a plurality of bores serving as single-stream outlets, namely bores 45 disposed along a first circle 43 which has a smaller diameter, and bores 49 disposed along a second circle 49 which has a larger diameter and is concentric with the first circle 43.
  • the bores 45 which are nearer to the centre, are mounted on the nozzle plate in a manner such that they are connected with the bore 39 of the pipe neck 37.
  • This bore forms a supply channel for a first individual substance.
  • the bores 49 which are more remote from the centre, are located such that they form a connection with an annular space 51 that surrounds the pipe neck 37 such that these bores 49 are connected with the annular space 51 for delivering a second individual substance.

  • the dispensing paths of the two individual substances are as follows.
  • the individual substance pumped by the pump 7 enters the bore 39 of the pipe neck 37 via the outlet 15 of the respective dispensing arm 13 and flows into and through the bores 45 disposed along the smaller circle 43 with a dispensing direction A.
  • the second individual substance, which is conveyed by the pump 5 is discharged via the respective outlet 15 into the pipe neck 57 and then into the annular space 51. This second individual substance is then expelled out of the combined-stream dispensing head 31 via the radially outward bores 49 located on circle 47.
  • the outer, more viscous individual substance stream filaments combine quickly and consequently enclose the more liquid individual substance as an external coat, thereby preventing that the latter substance stream will flow round the more viscous individual substance stream filaments.
