- valve fittings for the spear structure be formed of appropriate plastics material. This has been difficult to achieve in containers which must operate under high pressures such as those to which beer kegs are generally subjected.
- the attachment of the valve structure to a plastic beverage container presents a particular problem since attachment, whether by heat welding or mechanical clinching or crimping, can damage internal valve components made of plastics material.
- the present invention enables use of a valve construction by which a valve housing can be secured to a container before the remaining valve components are fitted. Accordingly, when the invention is applied to containers and valves made of plastics materials the valve housing can be attached to the container by heat fusion welding or clinching prior to installation of the remaining valve components to provide a connection capable of withstanding high pressures without exposing the internal valve components to the risk of damage.
- apparatus for storing and dispensing a liquid comprising: a liquid container having a neck through which to fill the container with a liquid and to dispense the liquid therefrom; a valve structure disposed within the container neck; and a dispenser tube extending from the valve structure to an interior region of the container; wherein the valve assembly defines valves for supply of pressurising gas into the interior of the container and for dispensing liquid outwardly through the dispenser tube and valve structure and wherein the valve structure comprises a tubular valve housing secured to the neck of the container and extending from an outer end disposed exteriorly of the container and an inner end disposed interiorly of the container and valve components including a retainer element engaged with an internal recess in the valve housing adjacent its outer end, said valve components being brought into said assembly together with the dispenser tube by fitting them into their operational positions through the outer end of the valve housing and being held against withdrawal by the engagement of the retainer element in the internal recess of the housing.
- the retainer element may be in the form of a retainer ring and the recess may be in the form of an internal circumferential groove in the valve housing.
- the retainer ring may be a resilient ring of plastics material force fitted into the groove.
- the retainer ring may serve. the dual function of retaining the other valve components against withdrawal through the outer end of the valve housing and providing an annular valve seat for one of said valves .
- the container and the valve housing may both be formed of. plastics material. They may, for example, be formed of PET.
- the valve housing may be secured within the neck of the container by heat fusion, for example, by ultrasonic or spin fusion technique. It may alternatively be secured within the neck of the container by a clinching technique, for example through use of a stainless steel clinching ring.
- the invention enables the valve housing to be so connected to the neck of the container without the remainder of the valve assembly being in place and the dispenser tube and valve assembly later installed without the need for subjecting them to potentially harmful heating or clinching processes.
- the invention further provides a method of assembling a liquid storage and dispensing apparatus comprising a liquid container having a neck through which to fill the container with a liquid and to dispense the liquid therefrom, a valve structure disposed in the container neck and a dispenser tube extending from the valve structure to an internal region of the container, the valve structure defining valves for supply of pressurising gas into the interior of the container and for dispensing liquid outwardly through the dispensing tube and valve structure from the container said method of assembly comprising securing a tubular valve housing constituting a component of the valve structure to the neck of the container and thereafter assembling the remaining components of the valve structure and the dispensing tube by fitting them through the outer end of the tubular valve housing into operational positions and retaining them against withdrawal by engagement of a retainer element component of the valve structure with an internal recess in the housing.

- Spear structure 13 comprises a dispenser tube 14 connected to a valve structure 15 which is secured into an upper cylindrical neck 16 of the container 12.
- Neck 16 is formed with a pair of vertically spaced outwardly, projecting circumferential flanges 50, 51.
- Outer shell 11 is formed of two components 17, 18 both moulded of a strong plastics material, for example, high density polyethylene or polypropylene.
- Component 17 is in the form of an open topped tub to receive the liquid container 12 and component 18 is formed as an upper lid which is a pressed fit into the main body part and has a central aperture to receive the neck 16 of the liquid container 12, the inner ring of the lid being located under the flange 51.
- the outer shell 11 may have the same external dimensions and features as conventional stainless steel kegs to enable the keg to be generally handled and filled with the same equipment as the standard stainless steel kegs.
- Liquid container 12 is blow moulded from an appropriate plastics material. It may, for example, be blow moulded from PET.
- It may be moulded in a single layer or with a multi layer or laminated construction as is known in the production of PET bottles. It may be coated externally with an inert or epoxy coating, for example, to serve as a barrier to permeation by oxygen and C0 2 .
- Container 12 is a sliding fit within the tub shaped main body part 17 of the outer shell.
- the lower end of the outer shell is shaped to form an upwardly dished floor 19 with a curvature to match the domed lower end of the container to provide secure bottom support and the upper end of the container is also located by engagement with the lid portion 18 of the outer shell.
- Valve structure 15 comprises a tubular valve body 21 secured into the neck 16 of container 12 so as to extend from an upper end 22 located exteriorly of the container and a bottom end 23 disposed interiorly of the container.
- the upper end of valve body 21 is shaped as a female coupling to enable it to be coupled to a conventional beer dispensing system or alternatively to a filling nozzle as described below.
- valve body has an inturned annular end flange 24 which provides a lower end abutment for an outer valve spring 25 and a lower slide support for a sliding valve member 26 located within the valve body and formed at its lower end with a spigot 30 by which it is connected to the upper end of dispenser tube 14.
- sliding valve member 26 is fitted with an annular valve head member 27 which is biased upwardly by the outer valve spring 25 against a resilient ring 28 which is force fitted into an annular groove 29 formed in valve housing 21 adjacent the upper end 22 of that housing.
- Ring 28 serves as a retainer ring holding the various valve components of the valve structure 15 in an operative assembly and also serves as a valve seat for the annular valve member 27 providing an outer valve effective in filling and dispensing operations in the manner to be described below.
- This outer valve is comprised of the ring 28, the annular valve member 27, the biasing spring 25 and a series of circumferentially spaced radial outlet ports 34 in the valve body 21.
- Valve structure 15 further comprises an inner valve formed by an upwardly domed inner valve head 31 located within the upper end of tubular valve member 26 and biased upwardly against an 0-ring seat 32 in the underside of the annular valve head member 27 by an inner valve spring 33.
- FIGS 1, 5 and 6 show the manner in which a conventional dispense coupler 40 may be fitted to the upper end of valve body 21 and the coupler actuated to dispense beer from the container.
- Coupler 40 has a body 41 the lower end of which interfits with the female coupling of valve body 21 in conventional fashion.
- Coupler body 41 has a gas inlet connector 42 through which pressurised gas (for example carbon dioxide) is applied to the outer valve of valve structure 15 and it houses a central valve actuating beer outlet tube 43 movable vertically in the coupler body 41 by operation of a handle 44 that pivots on a pivot pin 45 at the upper end of the coupler body 41.
- pressurised gas for example carbon dioxide
- Figure 5 shows the coupler 40 prior to operation to open the valves of valve structure 15.
- the handle 44 and tube 43 are in a raised condition and both valves of the valve structure are closed.
- the tube 43 is forced downwardly to push the domed inner valve head 31 down against the action of inner valve spring 33 to open the inner valve and the pressurising gas supplied to the upper end of valve body 21 through coupler 50 forces the annular valve head 27 downwardly against the action of biasing spring 25 to open the outer valve and allow the pressurising gas to flow out through valve ports 34 into the container 12 as indicated by the broken arrows in Figure 6.
- Beer is dispensed by flowing upwardly through dispenser tube 14 and up through the open inner valve and tube 43 of the coupler into the dispensing system as indicated by the solid arrows in Figure 6.
- a keg may be filled in either an upright or an inverted position. In the usual practice inverted position, beer is supplied through a filling nozzle to the outer end of valve body 21 forces the outer valve to open and the beer flows into the container through the outer valve outlet ports 34, gas within the container escaping through the dispenser tube 14 and the inner valve.
- valve structure 15 is constructed in such a way that its various components other than the outer valve body 21 can be assembled together with the dispenser tube 14 by fitting them through the outer end 22 of the valve body and retaining them in position by force fitting the resilient ring 28 into the groove 29 in the valve body as the last step in the assembly sequence.
- the valve structure may be assembled in the following sequence:
- the dispenser tube 14 is interference fitted onto the bottom spigot 30 of inner valve member 26 and these interconnected components are inserted through the outer end of valve body 21.
- the annular valve head member 27 is force fitted to the upper end of valve member 26 and moved downwardly to compress outer spring 25 and to allow retainer ring 28 to be force fitted into groove 29 thereby to hold the valve components in an operative assembly.
- valve structure is formed to enable this sequential assembly from the outer end of the valve body 21, it is possible to attach the valve body 21 to the neck 16 of container 12 before the other valve components are fitted.
- This enables a secure attachment between the valve body and the container 11 which can withstand high pressure operations such as encountered in filling and dispensing of beer kegs without risk of damaging the interior valve components.
- the valve components may be formed of PET, high density polyethylene or any other suitable recyclable plastics material.
- the outer valve body 21 may be heat fused to the neck of container 12, for example by ultrasonic horn or spin fusion technique. Alternatively, it may be attached to the neck of the container by a mechanical crimping or clinching technique.
- Figure 7 illustrates a modification in which the neck 16 of the container 12 is clinched to the valve body 21 by compression of a stainless steel clinching ring 46, the valve body 21 being provided with an external circumferential groove 47 fitted with an O-ring 48 to ensure an effective pressure seal.
- Containers fitted with valve structures in accordance with the invention may be used for storing and dispensing other beverages such as cider and carbonated beverages or indeed any liquid to be dispensed under gas pressure.
- the pressurising gas may be carbon dioxide, nitrogen or any other suitable gas according to the nature of the liquid to be stored and dispensed.
