Description

Technical field

The subject invention relates to an assembly for storing and serving beverages, especially beer and other beverages containing carbon dioxide, then to the container and assembly part for use in this assembly, as well as to the procedure and device for dispensing beverages, and belongs to the field of devices or devices for dispensing beverages under pressure, more precisely devices with the application of compressed air or other gas that directly or indirectly act on beverages in containers. The designation of the invention according to MKP7 is B 67 D 1/04.

Technical problem

The technical problem that is solved by the subject invention consists in how to implement a system for storing and serving beer and other drinks containing carbon dioxide, which would not have the disadvantages of the systems known from the state of the art, among which the possibility of increasing the pressure in the pressure vessel even though the container with the drink has not yet been placed in the pressure vessel, which can endanger the user, as well as possible contamination of the drink in the container due to the two-way flow of the drink through the dispensing device. Therefore, the aim of the invention is to provide an assembly of the type described above, where the existing disadvantages have been eliminated, while at the same time its advantages have been retained.

State of the art

An assembly for storing and serving beer and other beverages containing carbon dioxide is known from the European patent application EP - 0 377 195. This known assembly contains a pressure vessel and a container that can be placed in it and compressed or compacted by introducing a means of creating pressure, such as air or water, into the pressure vessel. By means of a threaded connection for closing the vessel, it is connected to the water for extraction, which is located in the lid of the pressure vessel. The pressure vessel consists of the lower, i.e. receiving part in the form of a box and the aforementioned cover, which can be removed from the receiving part. When this assembly is used, the container is first tipped onto the removed lid, then lowered into the receptacle so that it slides into it, after which the lid is attached to the receptacle. As a result, a closed pressure chamber is formed around the entire container. A tap is placed on the discharge line, with which said discharge line can be opened and closed. When the tap is opened, the drink can be forced out of the container through the ejection channel and into the environment by compressing the container. This well-known assembly allows the drink to be easily poured from the collapsible container.

A disadvantage of this known assembly is that the pressure in the pressure vessel can increase even though no pressure vessel is installed in the vessel. This is undesirable, both due to energy consumption and user safety. In addition, before placing in the pressure vessel, the container should be turned on the removed lid, and in addition, the container must be opened first. Only then can the container be inserted into the pressure vessel and the pressure chamber can be closed. This means that already during the placement of the container in the vessel under pressure, the drink can flow out into the environment. In addition, the cover must be completely removed from the receiving part. This means that special design measures must be taken to enable the assembly to withstand the pressure required to compress the vessel. Another disadvantage of this known assembly is that the container in the pressure vessel is only attached at the neck, which results in a relatively unstable placement of the bottle.

The essence of the invention

The aim of the invention is to realize an assembly of the above-described type, where the mentioned disadvantages are eliminated, while at the same time its advantages are retained. For this purpose, the assembly according to the invention is characterized with the features according to the characterizing part of claim 1, namely that during use the pressure chamber is at least partially defined and closed to the environment by means of the part for closing the vessel located at a distance from the opening for the protrusion of the vessel and that the opening for the protrusion of the vessel is located outside the pressure chamber.

Because the pressure space during use is at least partially defined and closed to the environment by a closure part to be placed together with the vessel, the advantage is provided that the pressure vessel can only be pressurized when the vessel is properly positioned. Otherwise, the pressurizing means fed into the extrusion device would directly eject from it. This means that if the device is inadvertently switched on, the absence of the container will be quickly noticed, and in addition, the danger of opening a pressurized device without the container is eliminated, which could cause danger to the user. More precisely, when there is no container, the user can operate the lever to activate the device less carefully. As a result, the assembly according to the invention is significantly safer than the assembly known from the prior art. Because the sealing portion is placed at a distance from the container protrusion opening, the sealing pressure is transmitted over a relatively large area, so that proper sealing can be achieved, and the sealing itself can be performed with relatively large tolerances. Since the dispensing opening is located outside the pressure vessel, it is easy to prevent the pressurizing agent in the pressure chamber from coming into contact with the beverage to be dispensed. In this way, the desired quality of the drink is maintained during its use. The next advantage of the assembly according to the invention is that the container can first be placed in the receiving part, after which the cover can be placed over the container, and the container, i.e. its protruding opening, should be opened only after its placement in the device. The opening for protruding the vessel is also available after placing the vessel in the pressure vessel and forming the pressure chamber. This means that the vessel can remain closed during its placement in the pressure vessel. This easily prevents accidental spillage of the drink.

In a preferred embodiment, the assembly according to the invention is characterized by features according to claim 2, namely that the assembly part with the part for closing the container contains a secondary cap made as a part in the form of a ring and which extends around the container at a distance from the opening for protrusion and/or filling, whereby the secondary cap is sealed in the dispensing device.

The secondary cap as a part in the form of a ring extending around the vessel at a distance from the discharge and/or filling opening has the advantage that the placement of the vessel in the pressure vessel is even more simplified. On the other hand, the opening for inserting the container in the receiving part can easily miss the part of the container that extends inside the pressure chamber during use, while the part in the form of a ring can hit, at least in one direction, the closing means with which it cooperates, and the container itself can have an essentially cylindrical outer wall that is desirable from both a production and an aesthetic point of view. Accordingly, proper sealing can be realized in a simple way thanks to the cooperation of at least part of the mentioned longitudinal edge. In addition, in this way it is possible to correctly place the container in the pressure vessel.

In the next preferred embodiment, the assembly according to the invention is further characterized with the features according to claim 6, namely that the vessel is essentially non-deformable under the influence of the pressure generated in the pressure chamber during use, wherein the pressure chamber is at least partially located in the vessel. In addition, inside the container there is a deformable part that is deformable under the effect of the created pressure and it separates the storage space for the fluid that needs to flow from the chamber under pressure.

In this exemplary embodiment, an essentially non-deformable container can be used that includes a storage space intended for drinking, wherein a deformable part separates the storage space from the pressure chamber. Especially when it is outside the dispensing device, such a container has the advantage that the storage space is well protected, while during use it can be emptied in a simple way using a pressure device. Such a container is particularly suitable as a reusable drinking container.

In the next preferred embodiment, the assembly according to the invention is characterized by the features according to claim 11, namely that the container is deformable at least when the protruding means is open, so that it can be completely compressed under the effect of the pressure created during use in the pressure chamber, whereby the closing part and the assembly part are non-deformable under the effect of the created pressure in order to maintain their sealing effect.

In this exemplary embodiment, the container can be compressed by a pressurizing agent supplied to the pressure chamber. The mounting part, which is sufficiently non-deformable under the effect of the pressure of the means for creating pressure, ensures the permanent closure of the chamber under pressure. This means that the container can be easily compacted, preferably completely. Such a container is particularly suitable as a container that is thrown away after use, that is, one intended for one-time use. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the container can be completely compacted in the assembly part. In this case, the vessel is primarily made of plastic, and especially of polymer, and primarily of thermoplastic polymer, so that it is thin-walled and self-supporting. PET or, in a preferred embodiment, PEN are plastic materials that are particularly suitable for making the beverage container according to the invention, because these plastic materials can be precisely machined, for example, by injection molding or blow molding. For various applications, especially when low permeability for oxygen and C02 is desired, PET/PEN laminate or their mixture is particularly suitable. Such a plastic container can be relatively easily deformed and provides adequate protection to the drink before and during use. In this regard, relatively large containers made of PEN represent a particularly suitable barrier for oxygen, which is of particular importance, especially when the container is used for beer storage.

In the following exemplary embodiment, the assembly according to the invention is further characterized by features according to claim 14, namely that the container contains a tubular means for protrusion which is connected or can be brought into connection with the opening for protrusion. Thereby, the tubular extrudant is firmly connected to the vessel to prevent contact between the fluid to be dispensed and the subsequent extrudant during use.

A tubular dispenser that is firmly connected to the container has the advantage that during use the drink to be dispensed from the container does not come into contact with the stationary parts of the dispensing device. The tubular highlighter is supplied, and also removed, together with the container. This enables simple hygienic use of such an assembly. In addition, this significantly reduces the possibility of user contact with the drink to be poured into the container. During use, the dispensing device remains clean, so there is no need for complex, expensive and environmentally polluting cleaning operations, which were previously necessary before reusing the dispensing device.

In the following embodiment, the assembly according to the invention is characterized by features according to claim 15, namely that the tubular means for highlighting is at least partially flexible and made in the form of a hose for the purpose of elastic closing by pressing.

The at least partially flexible, hose-shaped tubular discharge means has the advantage that in order to close the discharge channel, it can be easily closed by pressing. For this purpose, for example, a suitable pressing means can be provided in the dispensing device, wherein said pressing means, together with the protruding means, form a hose tap.

In a preferred embodiment, the assembly according to the invention is further characterized by features according to claim 17, namely that the tubular protrusion means comprises a gripping means for moving its free end to a distance from the protrusion opening.

Such a grasping means has the advantage that the free end of the protruding means can be easily grasped and moved to a position outside the protruding device, for example, a position for insertion into a hose tap. In addition, this means of grasping during use of the dispensing device can always be seen from its outside and, for example, used to mark the contents of the container. In this way, the content of the container is obvious to the user. As the pick-up means is firmly connected to the container, it is ensured that the markings on the pick-up means correspond to the contents of the container. In addition, in this way, the means of capture can also perform an advertising function, for example, thanks to marking with a trademark, date, logo or the like.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the assembly according to the invention is further characterized with the features according to claim 18, namely that in the filled state, and before use, the vessel on the opening 43 for protrusion or near it contains a safety protective means that can be pierced, whereby a means is provided for breaking the safety protective means during or after the creation of overpressure in the pressure chamber in order to bring the inside of the vessel in connection with the channel for the protrusion of the tubular means for protrusion.

The breakable safety guard has the advantage that the container remains closed before and during its placement in the dispensing device, therefore the contents of the container are guaranteed to be protected from manipulation or deterioration. In this way, the safety guard prevents the contents of the container from coming into contact with the environment before the dispensing device is used. The next advantage of such a means is that in this way the container can be filled aseptically, which makes the pasteurization of the beverage in the container unnecessary. This is particularly desirable for containers that have a relatively large volume.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the piercing of this safety protective means is performed using the assembly with features according to claim 21, namely that during the movement of the container towards the cooperating closing means, the piercing means is pushed through the safety protective means.

In such an exemplary embodiment, when pressure is generated in the pressure chamber, the container is moved axially in the direction of the closure means provided with the piercing means which is then pushed through the safety protection means and pierces it. This creates a loose connection between the interior of the container and the highlighter. In this case, the automatic opening of the container is not performed before the dispensing device is turned on, or at least its pressure generating device.

The invention further relates to a process for pouring drinks, and in particular drinks containing carbon dioxide, such as beer or carbonated soft drinks, which is characterized by the features according to claim 23, namely that: a closed container with a drink is placed in the receiving part in the device for pouring,

a protrusion opening is opened on the vessel, and the closing part surrounding the protrusion opening at a distance from it rests sealingly on the receiving part in order to form a chamber under pressure between the vessel, the inner wall of the receiving part and the closing part,

the free end of the at least partially flexible tubular dispensing means, which is connected to the container at the dispensing opening, is moved to a position outside the dispensing device,

after that, a lid is placed on the container and then attached to it, the part of the tubular protruding means extending beyond the dispensing device is placed in the clamping means to open or close the passage in the tubular protruding means,

the pressure in the pressurized chamber is increased by means of a pressurizing device,

after that, by means of a clamping device, the inside of the container is brought into free contact with the environment,

under the effect of the created pressure, at least part of the drink is pushed out through the tubular means for pushing out into the environment by reducing the part of the container containing the drink.

With such a procedure, the drink can be dispensed from the container in a particularly safe and simple way, whereby the container can be acquired, stored, or discarded, or reused independently of the device used to perform the procedure. Due to the configuration of the parts used to perform the procedure, their relatively large tolerances can be accepted, while its use and functioning require relatively little force and energy. Different types of containers with different contents can be emptied with the same dispensing device, in the same or appropriate manner. In addition, in such a procedure, the container can be placed in a closed state in a pressure vessel and opened only after that, which contributes to the hygiene of such a procedure.

In the first preferred embodiment, the method according to the invention is characterized by the features according to claim 26, namely that a deformable container is used as the container, while the closing part located on the assembly part is relatively rigid compared to the container for its compression in the assembly part during the creation of pressure in the pressurized chamber in order to highlight the drink.

A container that can be compressed has the advantage that it is relatively cheap to acquire and use, that is, it can be of relatively light construction, and in the empty state it can have a relatively small volume. In addition, such a container has the advantage that it is self-supporting when filled, so that its transport and storage are possible without the use of expensive and complex outer packaging.

In a variant embodiment, the method according to the invention is characterized by the features according to claim 27, namely that a relatively rigid container is used as a container, which contains a storage space and at least part of the pressure chamber, which are separated by a flexible separation device made in the form of a membrane for at least partial pushing under the effect of the pressure created in the pressure chamber in the direction of the ejection opening in order to eject the drink from the shrinking storage space.

Such a relatively rigid container has the advantage that it can be reused when emptied under pressure in a dispensing device according to the invention. Reusing the container has environmental benefits. In addition, such a relatively rigid container has the advantage of being more resistant to external influences, for example pressing or impact, than the compressible container described earlier.

The invention further relates to a dispensing device for use in an assembly or method according to the invention. In addition, the invention also relates to the use of the container according to the invention in the assembly or method according to the invention. The invention further relates to a mounting part for use in an assembly or process or container or dispensing device according to the invention.

In addition, the invention relates to a variant embodiment of the assembly for storing and serving drinks, which is characterized by features according to claim 35, namely that it contains a container for a suitable drink and means for serving drinks, wherein the container contains a separation means that separates the storage space in the container from the pressure chamber, while the means for highlighting is connected to the storage space. In addition, the pressure source is connected to the pressure chamber in order to introduce a means for creating pressure into the pressure chamber during use, and in order to eject the beverage from the storage space by at least partially moving the separating means and reducing the storage space when the ejector is open.

The well-known system for storing and serving drinks contains a vessel, the so-called barrel, in which a certain amount of drinks is stored under overpressure. The device further contains a cylinder filled with propellant gas, especially carbon dioxide (CO2). The vessel contains a connecting means by means of which, on the one hand, the propellant gas can be introduced into the vessel, while, on the other hand, the drink can be dispensed through a suitable means for highlighting, especially a pouring device. The drink is pushed out of the vessel by means of propellant gas introduced into the vessel under pressure.

Such a known assembly for pouring has the advantage of having a simpler construction and being easy to use, while the dispensing of beer can be controlled by the pressure of the propellant gas. However, the disadvantage of this known assembly is that there is a mixing of propellant and liquor in the vessel. This affects the state of the drink in the vessel and its quality does not always remain unchanged. The extent to which the beverage is affected depends essentially, for example, on the pressure and nature of the propellant, the time taken to empty the vessel, and the accuracy with which the propellant pressure is set. Furthermore, the user has limited options when choosing the propellant used due to its inevitable contact with the drink.

Therefore, an additional object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of the type described in the preamble of the corresponding independent claim, in which the disadvantages mentioned have been eliminated, while its advantages have been retained. For this purpose, the assembly according to the invention is characterized by the aforementioned features according to claim 35.

The separation of the container into a storage space for the beverage and a pressure chamber provides the advantage that the beverage and the pressurizing agent do not come into contact with each other. The separation means that separates the pressurized chamber from the storage space is placed so that its deformation is possible under the influence of the liquor and the pressurizing means. This means that when the ejector is open and an overpressure is created in the pressure chamber, the beverage is pushed out of the storage space by the separation means, while the composition and quality of the beverage remain unchanged. This is of particular importance, especially in the case of drinks containing carbon dioxide, such as beer, because it allows the foaming of the drink to remain unchanged, which is especially important in terms of taste, but also visually. Otherwise, modified or Improper foaming has an adverse effect on the beverage's effervescence or even makes it impossible.

Because the release agent moves and/or deforms in the container, the container can have a rigid outer shape, if necessary, and retain it throughout its useful life. Therefore, such a container can be constructed as a refillable container, or for multiple use.

Another advantage of the assembly according to the invention is that a great freedom of choice of the pressure source that can be used is obtained. Primarily, a pressure source can be used to introduce a fluid, such as a gas or liquid, into the chamber under pressure. The pressure source, for example, may comprise a pressurized cylinder for a pressurizing agent, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), but may also be implemented with a pressure pump, for example, to supply a liquid such as water to the pressurized chamber.

In a preferred embodiment, the separation means comprises a membrane.

The membrane offers the advantage that its deformation can affect the change in the volume of the corresponding spaces. For this reason, the membrane can be completely deformed on the inner wall of the container, in order to achieve its minimum or maximum volume. The membrane is primarily made in the form of a plate, which is why it takes up little space.

During the extrusion of the beverage by increasing the pressure in the pressurized chamber, and consequently, increasing its volume, at least part of the membrane moves in the direction of the extrusion agent. By inducing elastic deformation of the membrane at least during part of this displacement, the advantage is achieved that the membrane, at least when part of the storage space is emptied, will essentially be taut or at least smooth. This prevents a possible entrapment of the drink between the membrane and, for example, the vessel wall, whereby the drink can then no longer be pushed in the direction of the ejector due to the effect of overpressure in the pressure chamber. In this regard, it is particularly preferable if the highlighting means is placed so that after the deformation of the membrane, the central part of the membrane moves to a position close to or primarily opposite to the highlighting means, while during use the deformations of the membrane become larger towards the edges.

A means of separation that contains a means in the form of a piston or is designed as such, can have a simple and relatively rigid or slightly deformable construction, while the piston means can be adjusted for movement in the longitudinal or. axial direction of the vessel. The movement of such a means in the form of a piston can be carried out in the manner described above by bringing the means for creating pressure into the chamber under pressure, but it can also be carried out mechanically or electromechanically, for example by means of various pulling or pushing means, such as threaded spindles, electromagnetic means or the like. The tool in the form of a piston can be of a simple, robust construction, which ensures a longer working life of the device in question.

In a preferred embodiment, the assembly according to the invention is characterized by features according to claim 36, namely that the pressure source and the pouring means for connecting to the protruding means form a part of the pouring device, wherein the pouring device contains a receiving part in which the container is placed. In addition, the vessel has at least one opening at a distance from its bottom, primarily in its side wall for connecting the pressure source in order to achieve open communication between the pressure source and the pressure chamber in the vessel during use.

Positioning at least one opening for connecting the pressure source to the container at a distance from its bottom, and primarily relatively high on its cylindrical wall, provides the advantage that containers of different heights can be placed in the same device, without the need for the height of the protrusion opening on that device to vary. In this way, the distance between the projection opening and at least one connecting opening can be chosen to be the same for different containers, as well as for their different diameters, while their height can vary.

In the next preferred embodiment, the assembly according to the invention is characterized by the features according to claim 38, namely that the container contains a cap that is firmly connected to another part of the container, whereby some parts of the highlighting means are covered by a cap that has at least one opening that is closed with a lid. A safety protective device is also provided for the lid of the cap, so that the parts of the highlighter covered by the cap are accessible from the outside of the container only after the safety protective device is broken.

Since the cap is firmly connected to the rest of the vessel, so that it cannot be removed without damage, it can always be established whether the cap was removed from the rest of the vessel or not. Because part of the highlighter, at least its connecting means, is enclosed within the container and can only be accessed by breaking the safety guard, the contents of the container are not accessible without being visible from the outside of the container, especially from the outside of the cap. In addition, the highlighter that is sealed under the cap before use is adequately protected from damage and contamination, and the contents of the container cannot be contaminated or otherwise affected.

In the following exposition, the assembly according to the invention is characterized by the features according to claim 40, namely that the means for highlighting contains at least a partially flexible pipe part for connection with the pouring device.

At least the partially flexible tube part can be easily placed under the cap, for example, above the storage space, and at the beginning of use can be pulled partially out of the cap, through the opening in the cap. For this purpose, it is only necessary to remove the cover from the opening. If necessary, the tube part can be connected to the cap, so that when the cap is removed, then the free end of the tube part is directly guided to a position outside the cap for connection to the appropriate dispensing device. In this regard, the lid can be provided with a logo or an indication of the contents of the container. Accordingly, when the pipe part is connected to the dispensing device, the advantage is achieved that it always remains clean, regardless of the contents of the container. In addition, the cap that can be broken off from the cap also performs an advertising function. In fact, the gripping means having the appropriate function can be attached to the pipe connection part in a different way, so that it remains completely under the cap and can then be freely removed.

The invention further relates to a process for dispensing beverages, particularly beverages containing carbon dioxide, such as beer or carbonated soft drinks, primarily by means of the assembly according to the invention. Such a procedure is characterized by the aforementioned features according to claim 23.

Such a procedure ensures the possibility of dispensing drinks of constant quality from the container in a simple and economical way, whereby different means can be used to create pressure.

The invention further relates to a container suitable for use in the assembly or method according to the invention.

Detailed description of the invention

The assembly according to the invention shown in Fig. 1 contains a device 1 for pouring and a container 3 for drinking which is placed in it. In the shown embodiment, the container 3 is made in the shape of a bottle and will be described in more detail below. The dispensing device 1 contains a receiving part 5 in the form of a box or barrel and a cover 7 which is rotatably attached to the receiving part 5 and closes its open side. In Fig. 1 solid Unions show the cover 7 in the closed state, and broken lines in the open state. The receiving part 5 contains a peripheral wall 9 that defines a space for receiving the vessel 3, whereby this space is further referred to as the chamber 11 under pressure. A closure means 13 is provided along the upper edge of the pressure chamber 11, which can cooperate in a manner that will be described in more detail below with the part 15 for closing the container 3, which closes the pressure chamber 11 so that it is sealed against both gases and liquids. During use, the pressure generated in the pressure chamber 11 is fully received by the container 3, the wall of the pressure chamber 11 and the closure part 15 together with the closure means 13. This prevents cover 7 from receiving this pressure. Therefore, the opening and closing of the cover 7 can be done without any interference and without any danger to the user, while closing the cover 7 requires little force.

In the wall 9 of the receiving part 5, there is a device 17 for creating pressure, which in this embodiment is a pump that is connected via the first line 19 to the source of means for creating pressure, which in the illustrated embodiment is air from the environment. Furthermore, via the second line 21, the pump is connected to the pressure chamber 11, so that it can pump the mentioned means for creating pressure into the pressure chamber 11. The second line 21 is connected via the first pressure line 23 to the pressure regulator 25 by means of which the pressure in the pressurized chamber 11 can be controlled during use. Through the second pressure line 27, the pressure regulator 25 is connected to the safety valve 29, which activates the cover 7. When the cover 7 is opened, the safety valve 29 opens, which prevents the further creation of pressure in the chamber 11 under pressure and reduces the pressure already possibly created in it, which further increases the user's safety. Further, in the wall 9 is placed a cooling device 31, which, by means of the wall of the chamber 11 under pressure and the means for creating pressure that is brought into it, ensures the cooling of the vessel 3. In addition, in the wall 9 is placed a control device 33, which is connected to the pump, the pressure regulator 25, the cooling device 31 and the switch 34 which is activated by the cover 7 in order to turn on the pump when the cover 7 is closed, i.e. to turn off the pump when the cover 7 is open. Wall 9 is thermally insulated, which is why container 3, i.e. its contents, can be maintained at the desired temperature in an energy-efficient manner.

The dispensing device 1 according to the invention is described in more detail in the Dutch patent application entitled "Beverage dispensing device" filed by Philips Electronics B.V. on the same date, said patent application being incorporated herein by reference. In addition, parts of this device will be described where relevant in connection with the beverage container and the application of the assembly according to the invention.

Vessel 3 shown in Fig. 1 and 2 is made in the form of a bottle and is adapted to receive beverages, such as beer. In fact, other beverages containing carbon dioxide or even those that do not contain carbon dioxide, such as lemonade, soft drinks or wine, can be placed in such a container 3 .

The vessel 3 primarily contains a cylindrical wall 35 which is closed at one end by a bottom 37. On its side, which is further from the bottom 37, the wall 35 is connected to the shoulder part 39, whereby the shoulder part 39 contains a cylindrical neck 41. The neck 41 surrounds the protruding opening 43 through which the drink is introduced into the container 3 and drained from it. Vessel 3 shown in Fig. 2 is primarily made by blowing from a synthetic material, i.e. plastic, for example polyester, such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PBT (polybutene terephthalate) or PEN (polyethylene naphthalate). PEN has a particular advantage, because it is a plastic that is very impermeable to gases, which is of great importance especially when the container 3 is used to store beverages containing carbon dioxide, such as beer. In addition, this prevents contamination and spoilage of the beverage in the container 3. Because the container 3 is blow-molded in the shape of a bottle, it has no seams, which prevents it from tearing when the internal pressure increases. However, the container 3 according to the invention can also be made in a different way or from a different material.

On the neck 41, over the protrusion opening 43, a safety protective means 45 is placed, which in this example of execution is a membrane, which is clamped on the longitudinal side of the neck 41 by means of a primary cap 47. The membrane seals the protrusion opening 43 so that it is at least temporarily impermeable to both gases and liquids. This is especially desirable when the container 3 is used for packaging beer or a similar beverage that can aerate, because it enables aseptic packaging of the beverage. This is especially desirable when the container 3 has a relatively large volume, for example, greater than 2 liters, because in the case when the container 3 is filled aseptically, then the pasteurization of the beverage in the container 3 can be omitted. Otherwise, in the case of such large volumes, the pasteurization of the beverage in the container 3 requires an unacceptably long time. It was further observed that in the case of such relatively large volumes, the use of a vessel 3 made of the above-mentioned plastic according to the invention is particularly desirable because such a drinking vessel is relatively light and has a relatively small surface area in relation to its volume, which is why the problems related to gas permeability of the material from which the vessel 3 is made are even more reduced. These advantages increase even more when the volume of the vessel 3 is larger. Such container 3 is particularly suitable for packaging beer, whose taste or composition is very sensitive to the effect of oxygen. In general, light beer (English "lager") is far more sensitive to oxygen than dark beer (English "ale"). For light beer, this spoilage sensitivity limit is around 1 - 2 ppm (= mg/l) within six months, while for dark beer it is significantly higher, for example, three or more times the mentioned value in the same period. Therefore, a good oxygen barrier is much more important for light beer than for dark beer. In addition, such packaging is also suitable for beverages that have a high C02 content, for example, higher than 3 g/kg. For this reason, the packaging according to the invention is also suitable for packaging light beer, which has a C02 content of, for example, 4.8 - 5.4 g/kg, while the C02 content of dark beer is, for example, about 3 g/kg. It is understood that the packaging according to the invention is essentially very suitable for the packaging of dark beer as well as other drinks, and also when the container is less compressible or deformable.

Around the outer side of the neck 41, two circumferential edges 49, 51 extend one above the other. By means of an adjustable attachment means 53, for example an annular snap-on edge, the primary cap 47 is fastened behind the top of the upper peripheral edge 49 so that the clamping edge 55 abuts the upper side of the membrane along its peripheral edge and presses this membrane against the longitudinal edge of the neck 41. The primary cap 47 has a main surface 57 which covers a large part of the protrusion opening 43. The hooking means 53 extends from this main surface 57 in the first direction or. towards the interior. A first tubular part 59 extends from the main surface 57 in the direction opposite to the hooking means 53, and in the same line with the clamping edge 55. A second tubular part 61, which extends from the main surface 57 concentrically inside the first tubular part 59, surrounds a through opening 63 made through the primary cap 47. The height of the second tubular part 61 above the main surface 57 is slightly less than the height of the first tubular part 59 above this main surface 57.

On the primary cap 47 there is a mounting part 65. Such mounting part 65 is shown separately in Fig. 3.

The assembly part 65 contains a secondary cap 67 and a tubular means 69 for protrusion, which in this embodiment is tubular. The secondary cap 67, which is primarily made of plastic or light metal, contains a bowl-shaped shell 71, which has a central projection 73 which is also shaped like a bowl. Along the longitudinal edge of the casing 71, which is further away from the central protrusion 73, a circular closing edge 75 extends outwards, which at least partially forms the closing part 15 intended for cooperation with the closing means 13 of the dispensing device 1. On the side remote from the central projection 73, the shell 71 has a substantially cylindrical portion 77, the inner side of which can rest against the outer side of the wall 35 of the undeformed container 3. The shell 71 extends along a part of the shoulder part 39, while the neck 41 of the container 3 is received in the central projection 73. The cylindrical wall 79, which extends towards the inner side from the top of the upper part of the central projection 73, along its free longitudinal edge it is provided with a second hooking means 81 which extends radially inwards. This second hooking means 81 can be hooked under the lower side of the edge 51 around the neck 41 of the container 3. In the upper surface 83 of the central protrusion 73, a through opening 85 is centrally formed, which surrounds the sealing sleeve 87, which extends inwardly, concentrically with the cylindrical wall 79. The sealing sleeve 87 has a relatively wide first part 89, which is located at the upper surface 83 central protrusions 73, and a relatively narrow second part 93, which is connected to it via a tapered - conical part 91. The relatively wide first part 89 has such an outer diameter that it can be accepted, with a suitable fit, and preferably slightly clamped, in the second tubular part 61 of the primary cap 47. The height of the sealing sleeve 87 approximately corresponds to the height of the second tubular part 61.

The tubular protruding means 69 comprises a first connecting tubular part 95, a second connecting tubular part 97 and a connecting part 99 which connects these two connecting tubular parts 95, 97 and is at least slightly flexible, and is primarily made in the form of a hose. The first part 95 for connecting is shaped in the form of a knee, on the first arm 101 of which the connecting part 99 is attached. Its second arm 103 has an outer diameter such that it can rest with the flap sealingly inside the relatively narrow second part 93 of the sealing sleeve 87. The second arm 103 is movable inside the sealing sleeve 87 in a direction parallel to the central axis of the cylindrical wall 79, at least in the longitudinal direction. 3. The free end of the second arm 103 is cut slightly obliquely to obtain a slightly pointed tip 105. During the relative downward movement of the first part 95 for joining, i.e. moves towards vessel 3, the tip 105 moves through the membrane breaking it to create free communication or. the connection between the interior of the container 3 and the protrusion channel 107 extending through the connecting part 99 of the tubular means 69 for protrusion. A liquid-tight seal between the neck 41 and the primary cap 47, possibly with the placement of a membrane between them, as well as a liquid-tight seal between the second tubular part 61 of the primary cap 47 and the relatively wide first part 89 of the sealing sleeve 87, on the one hand, and the relatively narrow part 93 of the sealing sleeve 87 and the second arm 103 of the first part 95 for connection, on the other hand, ensures that the liquid from 3 can flow out only through the channel 107 for highlighting, that is, it cannot flow into the chamber 11 under pressure. This prevents the loss of the drink and also prevents the dispensing device 1 from getting dirty.

The second connecting part 97 also contains an element made in the form of a knee, the first arm 109 of which is connected to the end of the connecting part 99 which is further away from the first connecting part 95, while its second arm 111 surrounds the free opening 113 for protrusion. The gripping means 115 is, in this embodiment, a shield-shaped gripping element that is made integral with the other connecting part 97 or possibly attached to it, whereby this gripping means 115 simplifies the handling of the other connecting part 97. The capture means 115 may have markings, for example, printed markings, such as a trademark, logo, beverage container content information, delivery date or expiration date, or the like. As will be further explained below, the gripping means 115 always extends outside the dispensing device 1 during use, so that the mark printed thereon is visible from the outside. Of course, the means 115 for catching can also have means of identification that are made in a different way, for example embossed or by cutting.

In the state shown in Fig. 2, an outer cap 116 is placed over the secondary cap 67 and the protruding means 69, this outer cap 116 resting on the upper side of the closing edge 75 and protecting the protruding means 69 from contamination from the outside.

The container 3 can be placed in the receiving part 5 of the dispensing device 1 as follows.

The container 3 is placed with its bottom 37 above the open side of the pressure chamber 11 and moved vertically downwards until the closing edge 75 rests against the upper side of the closing means 13. In the illustrated embodiment, the closing means 13 is made in the form of closing segments 117 which can be moved outwards in the horizontal plane against the effect of spring pressure and which, in the maximally outwards position, define a passage opening large enough for the closing edge 75 to pass through. At their inwardly facing ends, the segments 117 have an inwardly inclined upper surface 119 which ensures that upon vertical pressure applied thereto by the closing edge 75, the segments 117 move outward to allow the closing edge 75 to pass between them. When the downwardly moving closing edge 75 passes the segments 117, then the segments 117 are moved back to their starting positions under the action of the spring pressure, after which the dishes 3 will be surrounded in the chamber 11 under pressure. When the pressure chamber 11 is not pressurized, the full container 3 is surrounded by a small space on its outer side, while the bottom 37 of the container 3 rests on the bottom 121 of the pressure chamber 11. Accordingly, there is a small space between the upper side of the closing edge 75 and the lower side of the segments 117. Between the wall 9 and the closing edge 75, a sealing part 123 is included, which is made approximately in the form of the letter V. The open side of the sealing part 123 faces the chamber 11 under pressure, so that during the creation of pressure in the chamber 11 under pressure, the sealing effect of the sealing part 123 increases.

When the container 3 is inserted into the pressure chamber 11 in the manner described above, then the mounting portion 65 extends substantially outside the pressure chamber 11 so that the gripping means 115 can be grasped from the outside of the pressure chamber 11 and the tubular protruding means 69 placed in the clamping means as described below

From the upper side of the wall 9, on one side of the pouring device 1, a supporting part 125 extends approximately horizontally, wherein this supporting part 125 contains a pipe part 127 that extends approximately vertically from its lower side. Through the supporting part 125 and the pipe part 127 there is a passage in which the second arm 111 of the second part 97 can be placed for connecting with a suitable fit, while there is an opening 113 for sticking out, primarily on the outside of the free end of the pipe part 127. The means 115 for catching allows the placement of the second arm 111 in the mentioned passage in a particularly simple way. In this state, the connecting part 99 extends approximately horizontally on the upper surface of the supporting part 125, and possibly in the groove that is made in it for this reason.

Through the pin 129, the cover 7 is connected to the receiving part 5 of the dispensing device 1, on the other side of the upper end of the wall 9 which is further away from the supporting part 125. On the side of the cover 7 which during use is facing the tubular part 127, an activation lever 131 is placed on the cover 7, whereby the activation lever 131 can be moved between two positions: approximately vertical and inclined position. At that end of the activation lever 131 which is incorporated in the cover 7, an eccentric 133 is attached which abuts the connecting part 99. When the activation lever 131 is in the vertical position shown in Fig. 1, then the connecting part 99 is closed due to the pressure of the eccentric 133, due to which the protrusion channel 107 is closed. By moving the actuation lever 131 to the inclined position, the eccentric 133 at least partially releases the connecting part 99, so that the connecting part 99 can at least partially regain its original shape, and then the protruding channel 107 is at least partially released to allow the beverage to flow from the container 3. By means of a simple locking means, which is known as such and is not shown here, the cover 7 can be fixed in the closed position.

During the placement of the container 3 in the receiving part 5 of the dispensing device 1, the first connecting part 95 is in the highest position, i.e. completely above the membrane, as shown in Fig. 2. When the cover 7 is closed, the first coupling part 95 is pressed down, or possibly retained, so that the first coupling part 95 cannot be swept upwards. In addition, when the cover 7 is closed, the switch 34 is also activated, which puts the device 17 for creating pressure, i.e. the pump, into operation, while the safety valve 29 is closed, thereby allowing to create pressure in the chamber 11 under pressure by pumping into it the mentioned means for creating pressure, for example, air from the environment. In fact, other pressurizing agents, for example water or carbonic acid, can also be applied. Because the pressurizing means does not come into contact with the beverage in the vessel 3 during use, such a pressurizing means does not affect the quality of the beverage.

During the creation of pressure in the pressure chamber 11, which is possible only when the lid 7 is closed, the container 3 moves upwards in the direction of the segments 117. In this way, the optimal sealing of the pressure chamber 11 is achieved. In addition, during this vertical upward movement the tip 105 of the first connecting part 95 is pushed through the membrane allowing the beverage to be brought from the container 3 to the spout channel 107. This means that when the activation lever 131 is then moved from the vertical to the inclined position, then the drink can be poured out through the spout channel 107 and the spout hole 113, so that, for example, a glass of beer can be poured. At the lower side of the device 1 for pouring, and under the opening 113 for sticking out, a container 135 is placed for collecting drinks that spill from the opening 113 for sticking out. This further prevents pollution of the environment.

During use, the pressure in the pressure chamber 11 is increased by means of the device 17 for creating pressure, so that the shell of the vessel 3 is compressed, or. deforms in order to reduce the volume of the container 3, while the drink is discharged through the discharge channel 107 and the discharge opening 113. Surprisingly, it turned out that the plastic container 3 of the type described above can be substantially completely compressed under the action of pressure in the pressure chamber 11, so that in the manner described above, essentially all the drink can be poured out of the container 3. Since the mounting part 65 with its closing edge 75 located relatively far from the neck 41 is secured under the segments 117, while the mounting part 65 is connected to the neck 41 over the primary cap 47, then it is possible for the entire container 3 to deform inside the secondary cap 67, while deformation of the shoulder part 39 of the container 3 is also possible. A further advantage of this method of attachment is that the secondary cap 67 can be of relatively rigid construction, while the container 3 can be relatively flexible, or flexible construction, so that the secondary cap 67 continues to provide a proper seal of the chamber 11 under pressure. This means that the deformation or movement of the vessel 3 in relation to the assembly part 65 does not affect the sealing of the chamber under pressure 11. This construction of the assembly part 65, and in particular the membrane and the first part 95 for connection, has the advantage that the vessel 3 can be placed in the chamber 11 under pressure before the vessel 3 with the drink is opened, thus ensuring the optimal closure of the chamber 11 under pressure and at the same time, the opening of the vessel 3 is done only when the device is switched on 17 to create pressure. Since the assembly part 65 forms at least part of the wall of the pressure chamber 11, then in the case when the container 3 is not placed in the dispensing device 1, no pressure can be created in the pressure chamber 11. This is of particular importance for user safety. In addition, this ensures the functionality of the tip 105 of the first part 95 to connect to the outside of the chamber 11 under pressure. Because the closing edge 75 is offset from the projection opening 43 by a relatively large distance, relatively large tolerances of the mounting part 65 can be accommodated without adversely affecting the sealing effect between the closing part 15 and the closing means 13, while always the projection opening 43 is optimally positioned. Deformations that occur due to relatively large tolerances are really simply accommodated by deforming the mounting part 65. This means that the closing means 13 can be of simple and relatively light construction.

The construction of the mounting part 65 and the receiving part 5 of the pouring device 1, which cooperates with it, has the advantage that the container 3 with the drink can be vertically inserted into the pouring device 1, while the cover 7 can be pivotally connected to the wall 9 of the pouring device 1. This further simplifies the insertion of the container 3 and the installation of the cover 7. To remove the emptied container 3, mechanical means may be provided to move the segments 117 outwardly, so that the mounting part 65 can be removed together with the emptied container 3. Because the closing pressure acts on the segments 117 in a direction approximately at right angles to the operating direction of the springs of the segments 117, the preload of the segments 117 can be relatively small, which is why the appropriate adjustment can be performed in a relatively simple way. When the container 3 is completely emptied, the pressure in the pressure chamber 11 is lowered, possibly by means of the device 17 for creating pressure, after which the cover 7 can be opened, so that the compacted container 3 together with the assembly part 65 can be removed from the device 1 for dispensing and disposed of, for example, in a reprocessing device that is set for this. When the container 3 is almost completely compressed in the assembly part 65, then the empty container 3 according to the invention occupies very little space, which is desirable from a logistical point of view. Fig. 4 shows a variant example of the embodiment of the upper end of the container 203 according to the invention for use in the dispensing device 1 as shown in Fig. 1. Corresponding parts have corresponding callsigns to which the number 200 is added.

In this embodiment, the closing edge 275 is firmly connected to the lower end of the shoulder 239 of the container 203. The closing edge 275 is primarily made integral with the container 203. In this embodiment, a primary cap 247 is provided, the construction of which approximately corresponds to the construction of the primary cap 47 shown in Fig. 2 and over which the outer cap 316 is placed. In this embodiment, however, the second tubular part 261 has at least partially such an internal section that said second tubular part 261 can be sealingly and guidedly supported on the second arm 303 of the first connecting part 295. This exemplary embodiment is structurally relatively simple, but the closing edge 275 should be of such a rigid construction that it cannot deform at all during use, or possibly deform only to a very small extent, in order to ensure satisfactory sealing of the chamber 211 under pressure.

The closure edge 275 on the container 203 may be located in a relatively low position, for example at its center, as well as the locking means 317, which is also located in a low position. When the vessel 203 is compressed, part A of the vessel 203 is forced upward, as shown by the broken lines in FIG. 4. The movement of the cylindrical wall of the lower part A of the container 203 towards the inside in relation to the cylindrical wall of the upper part B of the container has the advantage that it guarantees that finally the entire lower part A will be pushed into the upper part B, while all the drink will be squeezed out of the container 203. In this embodiment, the compressibility of the lower part A is optimally used due to its relatively low rigidity in the direction of the inside, and in addition, the relative non-deformability of the shoulder is optimally used 239 relative to the cylindrical wall 235 under the action of the internal pressure in the container 3. As a result, the closing edge 275 will be kept in contact with the locking means 317 in a relatively simple manner. It is understood that the container 203 is longer or at least can be longer than shown in FIG. 4. Furthermore, in this exemplary embodiment, it is understood that the closing edge 275 can be placed in a relatively high position, and that the container 203 can be compressed in the manner described above or that it can be provided with a membrane 245 or a different means for separation and displacement than described in the subject application.

Fig. 5 shows a further variant embodiment of the beverage container 403 for use in the dispensing device 1 according to the invention, wherein the container 403 is essentially made of a material which, at least under the influence of the working pressure in the pressure space 446, is essentially non-deformable. Corresponding parts have corresponding reference numerals, to which the number 400 is added. Such a container 403 may, for example, be substantially made of metal. A membrane 444 is placed in the container 403, the longitudinal edge of which is connected to the wall 435 of the container 403, between the bottom 437 and the neck 441. The membrane 444 is flexible or flexible, so that in the first position, as shown in Fig. 5, may rest against the lower part of the wall 435 and the bottom 437 of the container 403. The membrane 444 divides the container 403 into a pressure space 446, which is located between the membrane 444 and the bottom 437, and a storage space 448, which is located between the membrane 444 and the neck 441. When the container 403 is completely filled, as shown in Fig. 5, the membrane 444 rests on the bottom 437. A connection hole 450 is provided on the bottom 437, which enables an open connection between the pressurized space 446 and the environment. Therefore, when the container 403 is inserted, as shown in FIG. 5, in the manner described above in the dispensing device 1 according to the invention, the pressure space 446 is in direct communication with the space through the connection opening 450

446 under pressure in the vessel 403. Therefore, when the pressure in the dispensing device 1 increases, part of the pressure generating means from the pressure source will flow into the pressurized space 446, due to which the membrane 444 moves in the direction of the neck 441. Accordingly, the volume of the storage space 448 decreases and when the discharge channel 507 in the connecting part 499 is released, then the drink is dispensed by the dispensing device 1. The membrane 444 can be moved so that the volume of the pressure space 446 becomes maximal and the volume of the storage space 448 becomes minimal, preferably almost zero. Therefore, in this way, the entire storage space 448 can be emptied. The container 403 can further be constructed as shown in Fig. 2 or Fig. 4. Structurally, at least as far as the construction and positioning of the membrane 444 is concerned, the vessel 403 shown in FIG. 5 is shown in more detail in Fig. 8 - 16C and in the relevant part of this description. Such a container 403, which is called a membrane keg, has the advantage that such a drinking container can be used repeatedly, which is desirable from the point of view of environmental protection. In addition, its deformable parts, especially the membrane 444, are protected by the wall of the container 403 during transportation and storage, so that damage to the container 403 is easily avoided.

Fig. 6 shows a further variant embodiment of the device according to the invention comprising a container 503 that can be placed in the dispensing device 501 shown in FIG. 1. The dispensing device 501, and in particular its wall 509, are shown only schematically and only to the extent necessary for a proper understanding of the invention. The container 503 contains a vertical cylindrical longitudinal wall 535 and a shoulder part 539, wherein the wall 535 is connected to the shoulder part 539 by a vertical wall 500, which is placed outwardly with respect to the wall 535 and extends around the circumference of the container 503. The lower side of the vertical wall 500 rests on the flange 512 of the wall 509 which extends outwardly, so that the bowl 503 cannot move down from the position shown. A circular ring 514 is mounted on the flange 512, which is made of a weakly flexible material, such as rubber, and in the interior of which the upper circular edge 516 and the lower circular edge 518 are formed, between the outlets of which a chamber 520 is formed. 520. In the vertical wall 500, there is at least one, and primarily a series of through openings 522 that connect the interior of the container 503 with the chamber 520. By means of lines 521 through the opening 519, the chamber 520 is connected to the device 517 for creating pressure in order to supply air or other means for creating pressure. Over the circular ring 514 is placed a reinforcing part 524 which encloses the circular ring 514 so that it retains its shape. In the exemplary embodiment shown in Fig. 6, a relatively elastic, deformable bag 544, which is made of foil, is included in the container 503, wherein the bag 544 is suspended, preferably attached to the opening 43 for protrusion. This will be explained in more detail below. It is further possible that instead of the deformable bag 544, a deformable bottle of the type described above in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 6. The wall of the bag 544 or bottle is essentially impermeable to oxygen, for the reasons described above. In addition, the advantage that the wall of the vessel 503 can be thin and made of a relatively inexpensive material is realized in this way, since it does not have to be impermeable to oxygen, or only to a lesser degree. However, if the wall of the container 503 is made so that it is impermeable to oxygen, it gets even better protection of the drink in the storage area. If necessary, the container 503 may be detachable, thereby allowing the bag 544 or bottle to be replaced, similar to the above-described membrane embodiment shown in FIG. 5.

In the example of execution which is shown schematically in Fig. 6, the pressurizing means can be introduced during use through the through openings 522 into the interior space of the beverage container 503, between the bag 544 and the wall 535. This allows the bag 544 to be compressed, thereby displacing the beverage contained therein. Due to the fact that the through openings 522 are made at the shoulder 539, the container 503 can have any desired length, i.e. the length that the pouring device 501 can cover. This means that drinking containers 503 of different sizes can be used with the same dispensing device 501. During use, an overpressure is created in the chamber 520, under the influence of which the upper edge 516 and the lower edge 518 move and press harder on the vertical wall 500 of the container 503, so that an even better seal is obtained, and besides, the bag 544 can be deformed even more simply.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the cylindrical neck 541 is connected to the upper end of the shoulder 539. In the neck 541, a connecting sleeve 552 is slidably placed, the downward movement of which is limited by the edge of the edge 551, which extends towards the inside near the lower side of the neck 541 and which is struck by the first flange 558 of the connecting sleeve 552. At a distance below the first flange 558 on the connecting the sleeve 552 has a second flange 554, on which the bag 544 is sealed. The first and second flanges 558 and 554 extend at right angles from the cylindrical wall 556, which defines the opening for protruding on the bag 544. On this cylindrical wall 556, a safety protective means 545 in the form of a film is placed. This safety protection means 545 extends horizontally, parallel to the two mentioned flanges 558 and 554. Above the safety protection means 545 on the cylindrical wall 556 continues the cylindrical sealing wall 556a, which is connected at its upper end 560 with a flexible, elastic membrane 562 which is circular and whose outer longitudinal edge is fixed at the upper end of the neck 541. center of membrane 562, an elbow-shaped coupling portion 595 extends through it, comparable to a first coupling portion 95, such as that shown, for example, in FIG. 1. Connected to this connecting part 595 is a connecting part 599 for connecting with a protruding means, as described above. The coupling part 595 is firmly connected to the primary cap 547, which is fixed to the neck 541 by its longitudinal edge located below the edge 549. The primary cap 547 contains a closed upper surface 564, which extends above the diaphragm 562. Above the cylindrical wall 556 of the coupling sleeve 552, the upper surface 564 is bent upwards, resulting in an empty space. between the membrane 562 and the underside of the upper surface 564, when the coupling sleeve 552 is in its lowest position. The end of the coupling portion 595 facing the safety guard 545 is sharp.

Assembly according to Fig. 6 can be used as follows.

By pressurizing means 517, which in this embodiment is a pump, a pressurizing agent is introduced via chamber 520 into chamber 511 under pressure between bag 544 and wall 535 of vessel 503, causing pressure to build up in bag 544. Consequently, coupling sleeve 552 is pushed upward by the pressure effect on flange 558. This entails that membrane 562 moves upwardly on the bottom of the device. side of the upper surface 564, while the sharp end of the connecting part 595 is pushed through the safety protection means 545, thus freeing the passage through the connecting part 599 made in the form of a hose from the inner space of the bag 544. The membrane 562 and the primary cap 547, and especially its upper surface 564, ensure a sealing of the neck 541 impermeable to both gases and liquids. Such an example of the assembly according to the invention is particularly simple and practical to use.

Fig. 7 shows a further variant example of the embodiment of the upper part of the container 603 according to the invention, which is placed in the device 601 for pouring, for example, as shown in Fig. 1. Of the dispensing device 601 and the container 603, only those parts relevant to a proper understanding of this exemplary embodiment are shown. Other parts have already been described in detail.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 7, the mounting part 665 is of two-part construction, with the first central part 666 firmly connected to the container 603, while the second annular part 668, which is located at the wall 609 of the dispensing device 601 during use, can be freely placed or, for example, be rotatably connected to the dispensing device 601 and can close the container 603 for drinking. At the protrusion opening, the first part 666 is connected to a container 603 made in the form of a bottle with a wall 635 and a shoulder 639 in one of the ways described above, for example by applying a primary and secondary cap. Along the outer longitudinal edge, the first portion 666 includes a downwardly extending longitudinal edge 670, while extending downwardly from its lower edge is a second outwardly sloping longitudinal edge 672. On the second part 668, a first sealing part 674 is placed along its inner longitudinal edge, which can seal against the longitudinal edges 670 and 672. From the first sealing part 674, a downwardly inclined surface 676 extends outwards to the second sealing part 678, which extends outwards from the outer longitudinal edge of the second part 668 and can rest against the inside. of the longitudinal wall 609 of the device 601 for pouring. A locking device not shown in Fig. 7, which is otherwise shown, for example, in Fig. 1, the mounting portion 665 may be held in the dispensing device 601 by engaging the upper side of the second annular portion 668 .

An outer cap 716A is secured to the first portion 666 above the protrusion means by means of resilient outlets 680, which are connected to the first portion 666 and extend through openings in the outer cap 716A. During installation of the second part 668 of the mounting part 665, it slides over the outer cap 716A with its elastic outlets 680 pressed inwardly by the elastic edge 682 on the second part 668, while simultaneously releasing the outer cap 716A. Thus, the advantage is achieved that the container 603 can be held by the outer cap 716A during its placement in the dispensing device 601 without possibly being removed. In addition, it is held by the elastic tabs 680. This allows easy handling of the container 603 during its placement. In addition, the highlighting means, particularly the piercing means, is prevented from being prematurely activated, because during installation, it remains protected by the outer cap 716A. Until the vessel 603 is fixed in the dispenser 601 by means of the second ring part 668 of the assembly part 665 and the locking means 717A, the outer cap 716A cannot be removed, after which the connecting part formed in the form of a hose can be placed in the manner described above and the lid of the dispenser 601 can be closed. This allows for easy, hygienic and secure placement of the container 603. The means for securing the outer cap 716A to the container 603 is shown schematically only and may be constructed in many other convenient ways. The two-part construction of the mounting part 665 has the advantage that the first part 666, which remains connected to the container 603, can be of relatively simple, light and inexpensive construction and can be removed with the container 603, while the second part 668 can be adapted for reuse by a suitable choice of materials and construction. As a result, emerging forces can be better received and transmitted. Furthermore, such an embodiment has advantages for the environment, in the case that the container 603 is adapted in whole or in part for single use.

The container 3, 203, 403, 503, 603, 701, 801, 901 according to the invention has the advantage that the highlighting means can be supplied together with the drinking container and can also be shipped together with it. This means that during use, the drink from the drink container does not come into contact with other parts of the dispensing device, except for the mentioned highlighter. In this way, the dispensing device is simply prevented from getting dirty, which is why cleaning operations can be omitted during the replacement of the drinking vessel. This is convenient for the user, and it is also good for the environment, because there is no longer any need to use cleaning agents. In addition, this avoids problems with the change in the taste of the drink caused by replacing the drink container, when the content of the container to be removed is different from that of the new container to be installed. A further advantage is that there is always a direct connection between the catch element, which is made in the form of a guard, and the contents of the beverage container, so that the user is always clear which type of beverage will flow from the dispensing device. In this way, possible mistakes were prevented. Of course, at least part of the dispenser can be adapted for reuse.

Fig. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of a container 701 according to the invention. The container 701 is made in the form of a barrel and contains a body 702 of the container, which consists of a cylindrical longitudinal wall 703, a bottom 704 and a shoulder part 705. The body 702 of the container is essentially impermeable to both gases and liquids, except for the connection opening 706 in the bottom 704, which will be explained below, and the opening 707 for the projection of the shoulder part 705.

Between the bottom 704 and the shoulder part 705 on the wall 703, a separation means 708 is attached, which in this embodiment is a membrane, wherein this membrane separates the connection opening 706 from the protrusion opening 707. In your initial state you. before being placed in the vessel 701, the membrane is circular and its diameter is greater than the diameter of the bottom 704. The membrane divides the vessel into a lower space, which will be referred to as a pressure chamber 709, and an upper space, which will be referred to as a storage space 710.

In the state shown in Fig. 8, the storage space 710 is maximally filled with the drink to be poured, due to which the membrane is pressed against the part of the wall 703 that extends below it and on the bottom 704 above the connection opening 706. In this state, the membrane primarily rests without stress on the inside of the container 701 or is slightly elastically stretched on it.

On its upper side, the container 701 contains a closure means which in this embodiment is a relatively large cap 711, which in the shown embodiment covers the entire shoulder part 705. The cap 711 comprises an upper surface 719 and an annular cover 712. At its free longitudinal edge, the cover 712 is provided with an annular groove 713 which is open from the inside and can accept an annular edge 714 containers 701 with appropriate fit. This edge 714 is, for example, formed by a part of the wall that is moved outwards at a distance below the shoulder part 705. The edge 714 is primarily shaped such that the cap 711 cannot be removed from the container 701 without damaging the cap 711 and/or the edge 714. For this purpose, the edge 714 can be provided, for example, with a relatively sharp part 715 which during the vertical movement of the cap 711 intersects the groove 713. In fact, the edge 714 can also be performed on the cap 711, and the groove 713 can be performed in the wall of the container 701, while the edge 714 can also be made separately and then be mounted on the container 701 and the cap 711. Furthermore, it is also possible for the cap 711 to be firmly connected to the container 701 by gluing or similar techniques, or that cap 711 has a smaller diameter than the container 701 or a shape different from it. It is important, although not essential, that the cap 711 cannot be removed from the container 701 and possibly placed back on it without being noticed, so that the interior space 716 within the cap 711 is closed and remains separated from the environment during use as will be described below.

The discharge means in this embodiment comprise a flexible discharge hose 717, one end of which is connected to the discharge opening 707, while its opposite end is provided with a coupling means 718 for connecting this end to the dispensing device T. The cap 711 has an upper surface 719 on which it is formed with an opening 720 in which, by means of a number of safety protection means 721, the elements of which in this embodiment are the edges (Fig. 11), a cover 722 is mounted which can be broken off, so that the opening 720 is opened. for joining. After removing the cap 722 from the opening 720 by breaking the safety guards 721, the protrusion hose 717 is at least partially extended to a position outside the cap 711 so that the connecting means 718 can be connected to the dispensing device T. In fact, the protrusion hose 717 can also be located inside the cap 711, but separated from the cap 722 where it can be grasped through the opening 720 after removing the cap 722. Many variations of this solution are possible, such as performing the opening 720 in the cap 711. By connecting the cap 722 to the protrusion hose 717 at the connection means 718, the cap 722 will always be visible on the device T for pouring. The cover 722 may contain various useful information, for example, a label of the contents of the container, a trademark, and advertisements, which always remain visible during use of the dispensing device T.

Because during use the lid 722 completely closes the opening 720, with the means 707, 717, 718 for protrusion closed under the cap 711, tampering with the contents of the container 701 and/or the means 707, 717, 718 is prevented.

The container according to Fig. 8 can be used as follows.

The vessel 701 is connected via its bottom 704 to a source 729 of pressure (Fig. 10), for example, by placing it in the receiving part 725, with a pressure line 726 which is automatically connected to a connection opening 706 in the bottom 704. For this purpose, the connection opening 706 can be slightly raised from the surface of the bottom 704, to form a recess 727 in the bottom 704. A non-return valve or similar valve means is preferably incorporated in the connection port 706, which is automatically opened or closed by connecting or disconnecting the corresponding pressure line 726 for the means of creating pressure. This prevents gas or liquid from escaping from the pressurized chamber 709 when the vessel 701 is removed. Likewise, the pressure line 726 may be provided with such means. The container 701 is secured on or in the receiving portion 725, for example by a clamping means or threaded connection 728 to the wall of the container 701.

In Fig. 10, a threaded connection 728 is provided at the rim of the bottom 704 of the container, so that only containers 701 that have a corresponding threaded part can be placed in the receiving part 725. In Fig. 10A, the threaded connection 728 is formed around the end of the pressure line 726 in the recess 727. This means that the threaded connection 728 occupies a relatively small space, while the forces appearing at the connection will be relatively small. In addition, in this way, the advantage that containers with different diameters can be connected to the same device in the same way is achieved. Of course, other means of connecting them can be chosen, for example a bayonet connection or a quick-release coupling or similar means of connection known to those skilled in the art.

When the container 701 is connected to the pressure source 729, the cap 722 can be broken off, and the protruding hose 717 can be partially withdrawn from the interior space 716 to a position outside the cap 711. The coupling means 718 can then be connected to the corresponding tap means 730 of the tap device T, which in this exemplary embodiment is a faucet. In order to prevent the possible spillage of the beverage from the container 701 before the connecting means 718 is connected to the pouring device T, a closing device 731 is provided. This closure device 731 may be incorporated in the coupling means 718 or, optionally, in the discharge hose 717 , and may be automatically activated when the discharge hose 717 is connected or when the pressure in the container 701 increases, while the closure device 731 is still incorporated at or in the discharge port 707 . This protrusion opening 707 can be, for example, performed as shown in FIG. 9A, as will be described below. When the cap 722 is broken off, the closure device 731 becomes accessible through the opening 720. This closure device 731 can be pushed down, thereby releasing the protrusion opening 707. In this position, the closure device 731 can be secured, for example, by a small rotation or deformation. A closure device 731 that is activated by removing the cover 722 may also be used. Many variations on this are possible. Adjustable closing devices are also known from the prior art. The extension hose 717 is connected to the means 730 for dispensing of the device T for dispensing, for which purpose the means for connection 718 is, for example, made as a quick assembly means that can cooperate with the quick assembly means of the means 730 for dispensing.

Different types of gases or liquids can be used as a means of creating pressure. For example, the gas may be supplied under pressure from a reservoir or pressure line network, or the gas or liquid may be supplied by a pump 724, as shown in FIG. 9.

By supplying a pressurizing agent to the pressurized chamber 709, the membrane is moved at least partially in the direction of the protrusion opening 707, thereby reducing the volume of the storage space 710. As a result, the beverage in the storage space 710 is pressurized. Accordingly, when the closure device 731 is opened, the beverage is forced from the container 701 into the spout 717. Further, by opening the dispensing means 730, the beverage can be dispensed from the container 701. The beverage in the storage space 710 can be maintained at the required pressure by supplying the pressurizing means to the pressurized chamber 709, while the membrane is moved further. In this way, by pressing the membrane as a separation means, the entire storage space 710 can be emptied, until the membrane rests on the inside of the upper part of the wall 703 and the shoulder part 705 covering the protrusion opening 707 (Fig. 10). In this state, the volume of the pressure chamber 709 is at a maximum and the volume of the storage space 710 is at a minimum.

Since the pressure in the storage space 710 is generated by the movement of the membrane under the action of the pressurizing means in the pressurized chamber 709, the pressurizing means is prevented from coming into contact with the beverage to be dispensed. Consequently, the pressurizing agent is prevented from acting on the drink. This is of great importance especially in the case of drinks that contain carbon dioxide or are carbonated in a different way, when gas is used as a means of creating pressure, for example in the case of beer. In addition, the pressurizer does not affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the beer. In addition, there is no dilution or dilution of drinks if a liquid, especially water, is used as a means of creating pressure.

If necessary, when the storage space 710 is completely emptied in this way (Fig. 10) the pressurized chamber 709 can be emptied again, for example, by changing the direction of the pump 724. This is especially desirable when a liquid is used for pressurizing, due to the weight of such a pressurizing means. This allows the diaphragm to return to its original position. In addition, this allows the same pressurizing means to be reused for the next vessel 701 .

The diaphragm as a separation means 708 is preferably attached to the wall 703 at a distance A from the shoulder portion 705 which is slightly greater than the distance B between the edge of the diaphragm and the bottom 704. In the position shown in FIG. 10, where the storage space 710 is almost empty, the membrane is slightly elastically expanded. In this way, it is ensured that in that position the membrane is fully stretched, thus preventing the retention of the drink between the membrane and the interior of the storage space 710.

The membrane can essentially be made of a flat disc of rubber or plastic or similar material, with a constant cross-section. In a preferred embodiment, the membrane can have a thickness that slightly increases towards the inside, so that during the stress of the membrane, the deformations will spread from the outside to the inside. In this way, possible retention of the drink is prevented even more effectively. Further, for example, ridges and/or grooves 732 may be formed on the membrane, such as e.g. radial grooves, which are shown in Fig. 13. These ridges and/or grooves 732 prevent the membrane from sticking to the vessel wall 703 and also prevent beverage retention.

Fig. 12 shows a variant embodiment of the device according to the invention, with the vessel 701 fully contained in the dispensing device T. For this purpose, the dispensing device T comprises a box-shaped receiving part 740 and a lid 741, which is, for example, pivotally connected to the receiving part 740 and can be clamped thereon by means of a clamping means, which in this embodiment is a receiving groove 742. The receiving part 740 has a cylindrical inner space whose diameter approximately corresponds to the part of the container 701 that extends below the cap 711. Along the upper edge of the receiving part 740 there is a first annular receiving groove 742, which is made on its inner side and has a shape corresponding to the shape of the free longitudinal edge 743 of the cover 712 of the cap 711 as means of closure. This free longitudinal edge 743 is convex on the outside, due to the existence of the first receiving groove 742 on the inside. When the container 701 is placed in the receiving portion 740, the convex surface 744 together with the first receiving groove 742 is liquid-tightly sealed. The cap 741 has an internal shape that leaves enough space to accommodate the cap 711 et al

its side that faces the receiving part 740 during use has a second annular receiving groove 745, which can be properly connected to the upper side of the convex surface 744 of the cap 711. In this way, the container 701 can be placed in the device T for dispensing with a suitable fit, while between the part of the container 701 that extends under the cap 711 and the receiving part 740 that surrounds the closed space formed.

At the lower side of the receiving part 740, there is a pressure line 747 for the means for creating pressure, which enters the space between the container 701 and the receiving part 740, and primarily at the connection opening 706 of the container 701. When the means for creating pressure is supplied, it is introduced into the chamber 709 under pressure, whereby the pressure directed outwards acts on the wall 703 of the container 701. Because this part of the container is 701 surrounded by the receiving part 740, it can be of relatively thin construction, because the receiving part 740 provides the wall 703 with sufficient support during use to prevent its damage. An opening 746 is made in the cover 741, through which before or, possibly, after closing the cover 741, the hose 717 can pass for the protrusion, so that the connecting means 718 is accessible from the outside. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 12, a dispensing means 730 is placed on the cover 741, wherein said dispensing means 730 is provided with a complementary coupling means 754 with a coupling means 718.

In the shown embodiment, the means 730 for dispensing is of the type hose tap or. hose taps. The pouring means 730 contains a lever 748 which is connected via a pin 749 to an arm 750 extending from the cover 741. From the pin 749 on the side directed towards the cover 741, a pressing arm 751 extends obliquely, which is firmly connected to the lever 748. from the free end of the pressing arm 750, and transversely to the longitudinal direction of the arm 751 for pressing and arm 750, a pressing roller 752 is provided. Therefore, when the lever 748 is rotated, the pressing roller 752 moves relative to the arm 750. At the free end of the arm 750 is located a bent tube 753 for projection, which contains at its end which is mounted on the arm 750 and located on the side of the pin 749 remote from the cover 741, a complementary means 754 for connection. After the container 701 is inserted into the dispensing device T, the extrusion hose 717 is passed through the cover 741 and placed under the pressing roller 752 on the arm 750, while the coupling means 718 is connected to the complementary coupling means 754. If the lever 748 is moved to an approximately vertical position, the protrusion hose 717 is closed by the pressure of the pressing roller 752; if the lever 748 is moved back to an approximately horizontal position, then the spout 717 is released and the beverage can be pushed from the container 701, through the spout 717 and the spout 753, for example into a glass placed below the spout 753. The faucet described here is only an example, and it is also very cheap and easy to make and use. Of course, all other types of faucets can be used, for example, other well-known dispensing devices. A pressure measuring means may also be provided that controls the supply of pressurizing agent to the pressurized chamber 709 based on a predetermined, desired extrusion pressure, which is dependent on the pressure in, for example, the extrusion hose 717 or storage space 710.

The cap 711 primarily has a flat top surface 719. This has the advantage that the container 701 can be placed on top of the cap 711 so that the underside of the container 701 does not necessarily have to be flat and, in addition, can be constructed to hold the container 701 in a filled state. Therefore, the bottom side of the container 701 can be, for example, double curved, which can be desirable in terms of strength and deformation. Since the cap 711 covers the shoulder portion 705, this shoulder portion 705 may also have an arbitrary shape, which is not flat, for example, a double curved shape. In addition, a particularly distinctive external appearance could be obtained in this way.

However, in the case of relatively large containers, for example, barrels containing 10, 25 or 50 liters of liquid, the container 701 is primarily designed so that it can be placed on its underside. For such barrels, it is usually desirable to freely place the vessel 701 in the pouring device T, as shown in FIG. 12. In addition, a different type of cap is primarily used for such barrels, which does not cover the entire upper side of the container. For such barrels, the usual connections for beer barrels, which are known from practice, can be applied, and only with connecting water, but it can also be planned to bypass, or. a bypass line as a supply line for the pressurizing agent from the top of the barrel to the connection at the pressure chamber, thus enabling its use together with the existing dispensing installations. A cap may also be used which, for example, covers only the protrusion opening 707 and provides a safety protective effect in a known manner or may be designed without a safety protective effect. If necessary, the cap can also be omitted altogether. Many variations on this are possible.

Fig. 9A schematically shows a detail of the closure device 731 . This closure device 731 comprises a piston 760 having a mating plate 761 which in the closed position sealingly abuts the protrusion opening 707 on the underside. A rod 762 extends from the mating plate 761 through a protrusion opening 707 into the interior space 716. The rod 762 has a small flat portion with a shoulder 763 on both sides thereof. Two grooves 764 are provided in the projection opening 707 which can receive the shoulder 763 so that the matching plate 761 covers the projection opening 707. The mating plate 761 is biased in this position by a spring 765. If the container 701 is to be opened, the rod 762 is pressed downwards in the direction of the bottom 704, and is then rotated so that the shoulders 763 move relative to the grooves 764 to the position shown by broken lines in Fig. 9A. This creates a passage 766 along the mating plate 761 through which liquor can flow from the storage space 710 towards the spout 717. In this position, the piston 760 is released, while the shoulders 763 are pressed by the spring 765 on the shoulder part 705 next to the grooves 764. Because the closing device 731 is normally covered by the cap 711 there is no danger of the passage 766 opening unintentionally.

In a variant embodiment, as shown in Fig. 9B, the cap 711 is connected to the container 701 by an internal thread in the outlet 767 extending from the upper surface 719 and by an external thread on the neck 768 around the protrusion opening 707, and the annular groove 713 is made so that a slight vertical movement of the cap 711 with respect to the container 701 is possible, the two threads cannot be separated from each other and are always tightly connected to each other. At the upper side of the outlet 767, the protrusion hose 717 is connected to the interior space 716. When the cap 711 is completely turned downward, as shown on the left side of FIG. 9B in broken lines, the protrusion hose 717 closes the neck 768. When the cap 711 is rotated upward until the groove 713 hits the edge 714, as shown in FIG. 9B in solid lines, the spout 717 above the neck 768 comes into open communication with the spout 707 and the beverage can be dispensed. If necessary, a tear edge may be provided along the free lower edge of the cover 712, whereby this edge, when the cap 711 is turned upwards, tears and acts as a further safety protection.

In the embodiments shown in the drawing, it is schematically shown that the membrane is fixed on the inner side of the wall 703 of the container 701. For this purpose, the membrane can be, for example, glued or fixed by means of a clamping ring or the like. In an embodiment not shown, the container 701 is made of two halves, which may be connected to each other by means of a clamping joint, threaded connection, gluing or welding techniques. Between these two halves, a structure is provided thanks to which the membrane can be clamped between them. For this purpose, a clamping ring can be attached to one of the halves of the container 701, for example, before the two halves of the container 701 are joined, and the membrane is attached with the clamping ring. Such an embodiment has the advantage that the diaphragm can be easily attached in a fixed manner, and furthermore the diaphragm remains accessible for inspection, repair and replacement, at least in the case where the halves of the vessel 701 are releasably joined.

The container 701 according to the invention can be cleaned and refilled in a conventional manner. For cleaning purposes, the vessel 701 may be connected via a connection port, for example, to a pressure source, for example, tap water, while the discharge port may be connected to flushing water. The two components can be filled alternately, so that each opposite space is emptied by moving the membrane. Consequently, dirt is removed from the vessel 701 and the membrane is also washed. Membrane damage can be easily detected based on the pressure loss that occurs for both the pressurizing agent and the flushing agent. Of course, the filling of the storage space 710 with drinks can also be done through the opening 707 for sticking out.

Fig. 9C shows a variant example of the embodiment of the container according to the invention, in which the container 701 in the form of a barrel contains the body 702 of the container, while on the upper edge of the cylindrical longitudinal wall 703 a shoulder part 705 is made in the form of a cover and is attached over this upper edge, for example, by a known folding operation. Between the shoulder part 705 in the form of a cover and the wall 703, the upper wall of the membrane is attached to the folded edge. The membrane may, for example, be made of relatively thin foil and may extend along the entire interior wall of the vessel body 702 . Such an example of execution is particularly suitable for a barrel, that is, to be used only once, although its repeated use is also possible. To make a barrel according to Fig. 9C techniques such as deep drawing and sheet drawing, pressing and folding, otherwise known as such, may be applied. Fig. 14 shows a variant embodiment of the container 801 according to the invention, in which the corresponding parts have the corresponding reference numbers preceded by the number 8. The means for extraction in this embodiment form a flexible hose 817 for extraction, one end of which is connected to the opening 807 for extraction, while its opposite end is provided with means 818 for connecting to connect the said end to the device T for dispensing. The vessel 801 comprises a closed wall 803 and a bottom 804, with a separation means 808 which in this embodiment is a piston extending inside the wall 803, parallel to the bottom 804, where the longitudinal wall of the piston is sealingly but movably abutted against the inside of the longitudinal wall 803. This piston separates the lower space, i.e. chamber 809 under pressure from the storage space 810 lying above it. Through the hole 806 in the bottom 804 of the container 801, a threaded spindle is provided, which in this example is the source of pressure 830 and which one end rests on the lower side of the piston, while on the opposite side its other end extends outside the container 801 and can be rotated in the direction of arrow R by means of elements that are suitable for that, for example, by means of an electric motor. A nut 831 is placed in the bottom 804, which can cooperate with the threaded spindle as a source 830 of pressure. By rotating the threaded spindle in the nut 831, the piston moves vertically in the direction of arrow P, due to which the pressure chamber 809 increases, and the storage space 810 decreases and vice versa. At its first end, the threaded spindle is connected to the piston, so that the threaded spindle can rotate about its longitudinal axis and relative to the piston, while the piston cannot move axially with respect to the threaded spindle. In this way, a direct connection was created between the movement of the threaded spindle and the piston. Fig. 15 schematically shows a further variant example of the device according to the invention, which is particularly suitable for use, for example, in hotels, restaurants, bars, etc., and which should dispense a relatively limited volume of drink per unit of time, whereby the drink should be cooled. The corresponding parts again have corresponding reference numbers, preceded by the number 9. In this embodiment, means 918 for connecting hoses 917 to the protrusion is connected to a so-called in-line cooling device 980, for example, a flow heat exchanger 981, which is connected to a cooler 982. On the side remote from the means 918 for connecting to in-line cooling device 980 is connected a connection line 983, whereby this connecting line 983 further connected to dispensing means 930, for example, of the type known from the hotel and delivery industry. In the manner already described above, the reservoir Pr for the means of creating pressure is connected via a pressure source 929, which in this embodiment is a pump with a chamber 909 under the pressure of a container 901. The drink to be poured from the container 901 covered with a cap 911A is passed through the in-line cooling device 980 and brought to the required temperature or kept at it. With the help of the in-line cooling device 980, the temperature of the drink, especially the beer, can, for example, be brought or maintained between 5 and 9°, especially at about 6 - 7° C, so that even in the case of an uncooled container and relatively long hoses 917 for protruding and connecting line 983, the drink can be dispensed with an optimal temperature. The strict regulation of the temperature of the drink, especially in the hose 917 for highlighting and the connecting line 983, is of particular importance from a hygienic point of view. If a container 901 with a drink of relatively high temperature is placed in the refrigerator, that drink can still be poured directly with the desired temperature using the in-line cooling device 980 according to Fig. 15, while after the passage of a certain time during which the drink in the container 901 is brought to the prescribed temperature, the in-line cooler 980 can be turned off or, if necessary, continue to work, which is especially desirable when the hose 917 for highlighting and the connecting line 983 are relatively long. Of course, it is also possible to use several or different in-line coolers 980. The in-line cooler 980 can be designed so that the beverage to be dispensed comes into direct contact with the stationary parts of the in-line cooler 980, but it can also be designed so that, for example, the dispensing hose 917 extends through it, thus achieving indirect heat exchange. The cooling efficiency in such an example of execution will be slightly lower, although in terms of hygiene, significant advantages have been achieved.

Since the application of the device according to the invention enables the separation of the beverage to be dispensed, especially beer, from the means for creating pressure, it is possible to apply, without complicated control of the pressure in the container and the flow of the beverage during dispensing, a combination of a cooling device in which the container is placed and a line cooling device. If the pressure in the pressure chamber is kept higher than the equilibrium pressure over the entire temperature range for the beverage in the container (for example between 5 and 30° C.) and constant, the in-line chiller 980 can be designed to obtain a constant flow of the beverage regardless of its temperature. Controlling the flow by properly designing the cooling coil of the 980 in-line chiller has the advantage that beverage retarders that are normally added to the line or faucet can be omitted. Such retarders are difficult to clean and are therefore a source of contamination of the beverage.

Because the connection of the drink to the dispensing device is a one-way connection, it can easily prevent harmful bacteria or air from entering the drink this way, unlike conventional connections, which are two-way connections, due to which bacteria and air are pumped directly from the dispensing head into the beverage package when the dispensing head is attached to it. As the entire device cools down, any bacteria that may be present in the water. would reproduce slowly, if at all. Therefore, the shelf life of the packaging can be extended, for example, to 3 - 6 weeks, and in addition, the dispensing device should be cleaned regularly, for example, 2 - 4 times a year. For the device according to the invention, the known C02 bottles are no longer needed, although C02 can also be used as a pressurizing agent, although this is not desirable.

Fig. 16 shows a further variant embodiment of the device according to the invention comprising a container 901, which can be accommodated in the receiving part 940 in the form of a box of the dispensing device T, for example, as shown in Fig. 12. The receiving part 940 is marked schematically only. The container 901 contains a bottom 904, a vertical cylindrical longitudinal wall 903 and a shoulder part 905, which in the shown embodiment is folded to the wall 903 and surrounds the opening 907 for protrusion, which in this embodiment together with the hose 917 for protrusion forms a suitable means for protrusion. In the vertical part 905a of the shoulder part 905, a number of connection openings 906 are made around the circumference, for the connection of the pressure source 929 via the connection line 926. To form this connection, a circular and primarily flexible ring 990 is placed in the receiving part 940. The ring 990 has two edges 991 extending towards the interior, which are shaped in the form of outlets inclined towards each other, between which a chamber is defined 992. The chamber 992 is connected to the discharge line 926. During use, the edges 991 above and below the connection ports 906 abut the vertical portion 905a of the shoulder portion 905, the edges 991 elastically deforming to provide an air-tight seal on the shoulder portion 905. During use, this has the advantage of increasing the chamber pressure. 992, since the edges 991 firmly pressed on the shoulder part 905a, which gives an even better seal. Since the coupling openings 906 are located at the upper end of the container 901, the container 901 can have any suitable length within the receiving portion 940, without changing the height of the coupling opening 906 as a result. This provides the advantage that containers having a relatively small volume (for example, 1.5 liters) and containers having a relatively large volume (for example, 5 liters or more) can be accommodated in the same device. In fact, the devices according to the present invention are also suitable for use with vessels that have a large volume (for example, of 10, 25 or 50 liters), which are particularly suitable for use in hotels, restaurants, cafes, etc.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 16, the storage space 910 is formed by a separation means 908, which in this embodiment is a relatively flexible bag made of foil or a compressible plastic bottle, suspended in or at least attached to the protrusion opening 907. When the pressurizing agent is introduced through the pressure line 926 and the connection openings 906, the bag is compressed during use, while the beverage is forced out of the storage space 910, thereby increasing the pressure chamber 909. The bag may be connected to the wall 903 in multiple places, distributed around its circumference, in such a way that the bag is compressed essentially in a radial direction, thereby ensuring that the entire storage space 910 is emptied. Although in the shown embodiment, the container 901 is composed of two parts, it can also be of one-piece construction to obtain, for example, a container 901 made in the form of a bottle or in the form of a barrel, in which there is a storage space 910, the construction of which is in the form of a bag or in the form of a bottle.

The positioning of the connection openings 906 at the upper end of the container 901, and at a distance from the bottom 904, in the longitudinal wall 903 or the shoulder part 905, can be applied in the examples of execution given as an illustration and having a membrane, while the connection openings 706, 906 are made on the other side of the membrane or bag as means 708, 908 for separation that faces the pressure foreign. In addition, the bag can also be used in embodiments where the connection opening 906 is located in the lower part.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 16, the dishes 901 can be closed in the receiving part 940 by means of shoulders 914, which can be compared with the example of the embodiment shown in Fig. 12, and in addition, other ways of attachment can be provided, for example engagement with a cylindrical wall. It is understood that combinations of different embodiments according to the invention also fall within the scope of the invention.

It is estimated that in the device according to Fig. 15 can use various containers 701, 801, 901, pressure sources, cooling devices and the like, and especially those described above.

In the device and assembly according to the invention, the container can be reused with adequate collection and refilling, while the highlighter can be discarded in whole or in part after use. This is of particular importance from a hygienic point of view. However, it is also possible for the highlighter to be reused after use, at least partially, and after careful cleaning. This is desirable from the point of view of environmental protection.

In the exemplary embodiment shown in Fig. 16, the beverage in the container 901 is completely surrounded by a bag as a separation means 908. An advantage achieved in this way is that the bag can be constructed essentially as impermeable to oxygen, so that the wall of the container 901 can be made of a relatively oxygen permeable plastic, if necessary. Such an embodiment may be economically desirable, due to the use of relatively inexpensive materials.

In addition, it is possible to make the bag so that it has double walls, with at least one connecting opening 906 located between the inner and outer bags, which are located in the pressure chamber 911 formed between them. Therefore, during use, the pressure of the means for creating pressure is essentially received by the outer bag, so that the wall of the container 901 can be relatively thin and flexible in design, which allows a relatively large freedom of design as far as the shape of the container is concerned. Fig. 16A - C schematically show three possible embodiments of such a double-walled foil bag. Fig. 16A shows, for example, an inflated inner foil bag 908b surrounded by an outer foil bag 908a. One or two foil bags 908a, b may have a multi-layer construction, depending on their desired properties. The pressurized chamber 911 is formed between the inner bag 908b and the outer bag 908a, that is, around the inner bag 908b. Fig. 16B shows an exemplary embodiment where the bag is formed of three layers 908c, 908d and 908e, which are interconnected to form two chambers: a storage space 910 and a pressure chamber 911. When the pressurizing means is supplied between the first layer 908c and the second layer 908d, the volume of the pressurized chamber 911 will increase, as the beverage is forced out of the storage space 910. In fact, for example, the second layer 908d and the third layer 908e may form part of the tubular foil profile to which the first layer 908c is welded. On the lower side, the three layers 908c are connected to each other, and in addition, they can be attached to the wall or to the bottom of the container 901, which is why the bag included in the container 901 is positionally immovable.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 16C, the foil bag is made of four layers of foil 908f - i. For this purpose, for example two profiles formed from foil in the form of tubes can be placed one over the other and welded at the lower side, while at the upper side, the wall of the outer foil layers 908f and 908i is welded to the outer side of the inner foil layers 908g and 908h. Such a foil bag can also be composed of four welded foil layers. A storage space 910 is formed between the foil layers 908g and 908h, around which the pressurized chamber 911 is enclosed within the foil layers 908f and 908i. Supplying a pressurizing agent to the pressure chamber 911 ensures the compression of the storage space 910, followed by the extrusion of the beverage. The bag can again be attached to the bottom and/or to the longitudinal wall, to prevent movement of the bag relative to the container 901. The foil layers can again be multi-layered, for the reasons explained above.

Examples of execution shown in Fig. 16B and 16C enable the filling of pouch-shaped containers in a continuous process. For this purpose, a pipe profile that has a relatively long length compared to the length of a bag can be filled, and then it can be narrowed, welded and cut at suitable places to form a bag filled with the desired drink. In addition, this prevents air retention in the bag. In fact, other charging methods are also possible.

The invention is by no means limited to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings and described herein. Many variations on them are possible.

A beverage container according to the invention may, for example, include a slightly inwardly extending neck that limits the overall height of the beverage container. Furthermore, a beverage container may be used which is provided with a filling opening at a distance from the projection opening, for example, at the bottom of the beverage container. This allows the drinking container to be assembled before the filling operation, while the safety protective membrane can be made integral with the drinking container. Deformation zones can be incorporated in the wall of the drinking vessel, for example, in the form of facets, or small surfaces, such as ring or strip surfaces, which during use ensure that the drinking container is compressed in the desired direction under the influence of the pressure created in the pressure chamber. Further, for example, different parts can be integrated, such as a primary and secondary cap or a first coupling part, a coupling part and a second coupling part. Although a dispensing device intended to accommodate only one beverage container is shown, embodiments are also possible in which two or more beverage containers are housed in the same dispensing device, preferably side by side in one or more pressurized chambers. In this case, the degree to which each of the beverage containers is emptied during use will be determined by the pressure in each pressurized chamber and the degree to which the beverage is poured from each of those containers.

Likewise, in addition to or instead of a pressurizing means, mechanical pressurizing means may be used to impart pressure to the beverage container or to move the membrane in the membrane barrel. When using a non-deformable keg as described, the membrane can be made in the form of a bag and be attached to the drinking vessel, or at its neck.

The container may have various shapes, for example, a polygonal cross-section and a convex end, while the cap, if present, may additionally have various other shapes. In addition, the cap can be attached to the container in a variety of convenient ways. The vessel can be connected to the pressure source in a different way, while the pressure source can also be performed in a different way. The membrane can be made so elastic that in an unstressed state it extends at a distance from the vessel wall, for example, flat. In addition, the membrane can be placed in any desired position, so that it separates the pressure chamber from the storage space. The connecting means for the pressure source and the connecting means for the protruding means can be made in different ways and in different positions, for example, both at the upper side of the container, with a channel for bringing the pressure medium into the pressure chamber. Such a channel can be, for example, located in the receiving part, as described. The description mentions beer as a drink to be borrowed, such as, for example, soft drinks or other alcoholic drinks. Also, for example, different beverages can be stored in storage areas that are placed next to each other in a single container.

It is understood that these and many other suitable variations fall within the scope of the invention.
