Definitions
- the invention relates to a fountain for dispensing food liquids, in particular water, and to accessories for such a fountain. It generally relates to a reservoir for food liquid and accessories for such a reservoir.
- Water dispenser fountains of the bottle type are more and more widespread in public and private places. Such fountains have the advantage of not requiring distribution piping and the qualities of the water distributed are the same as those of water sold in a single-use bottle.
- the cylinders are, in general, semi-rigid and of large capacity. Thus for cost reasons they are not of the disposable type like water bottles, but reusable, that is to say refillable several times.
- Each bottle generally has a cap closed by a security disc. To install the cylinder in such a fountain, it is therefore necessary to remove the tablet and pass a water distribution pipe that forms part of the fountain through the plug. When the cylinders are empty they are cleaned and then refilled.
- the object of the invention is to guarantee a water distribution fountain and, more generally, containers for food liquids such as fruit juices, against any risk of accidental pollution.
- the invention thus relates, according to a first of its aspects, a reservoir for a fountain for dispensing liquid food which comprises, on the one hand, a cylinder with a substantially rigid wall and, on the other hand, a flexible pocket, preferably expandable by filling with liquid, and for single use, this pocket being such that it can be applied against the internal walls of the cylinder when the tank is filled with liquid.
- the liquid food to be dispensed is contained in a single-use bag, which offers the same guarantees of food safety as for distribution in a single-use bottle.
- the bag being flexible, unlike a rigid tank, it does not include any volume remaining available for an air inlet when it empties.
- outside air does not enter the pocket and is not in contact with the liquid, which eliminates the risk of pollution of the liquid remaining to be dispensed.
- the flexible pocket of the fountain according to the invention can be used with conventional bottles, currently in use. Under these conditions, the invention does not require significant investment. Since the flexible pouch does not strictly conform to the internal walls of the container, the air between the pocket and the internal walls of the container provides insulation and guarantees better frost resistance. Given that with the flexible pocket of the fountain according to the invention there is practically no longer any risk of contamination by a defect in washing the cylinder, the health constraints imposed on this washing can be relaxed. In addition, it is possible to no longer limit the number of uses of each cylinder as is the case today. In other words, the life of the cylinders can be increased, which presents, on the one hand, an economic advantage and, on the other hand, limits the amount of waste caused by the scrapping of the cylinders.
- the pocket is made of elastic material. In this case, the elasticity facilitates the distribution of the liquid because, when this pocket is filled, it exerts a slight pressure on the liquid.
- the volume of the space separating the bag from the internal wall of the cylinder decreases. If air is present in this volume it is necessary to evacuate it to allow the bag to come against the wall of the cylinder.
- the cylinder has an air discharge opening or vent.
- This embodiment has the advantage of preventing the use of cylinders without a protective pocket.
- the opening of the pocket is secured to a ring or a closure cap for the cylinder which comprises at least one air discharge opening.
- the invention thus relates to a method of filling with liquid food from a bottle intended to be installed in a dispensing fountain of such a liquid, in which the liquid is introduced into a flexible bag, for single use, introduced into the bottle , the flexible pocket being such that at the end of filling it is applied against the internal walls of the cylinder.
- the internal part of the bottle which is outside the bag is kept at atmospheric pressure.
- the invention also relates to a process for dispensing liquid food using a bottle filled in accordance with the process defined above, in which, during the distribution, the internal part of the bottle which is outside of the bag is maintained at atmospheric pressure or at a higher pressure.
- the invention also relates to a disposable bag for the application of the filling process defined above.
- This pocket is, for example, made of elastic material, its initial volume, before filling, being substantially less than the interior volume of the cylinder.
- the pocket comprises, in one embodiment, a rim intended to overlap the neck of the cylinder.
- the invention also relates to a bag and bottle cap assembly in which the opening of the bag is integral with the cap, the diameter of the opening of the bag being less than the inside diameter of the neck of the bottle and the cap having minus a hole to put in communication with the atmosphere the interior space of the cylinder which is exterior to the pocket.
- this assembly is such that the plug has a central opening for the introduction and evacuation of liquid, and this central opening is bordered by a cylindrical inner wall to which the opening of the pocket is attached.
- the plug may further include, to plug its central opening, a central plug cooperating by snap-fastening with the cylindrical inner wall.
- the central plug has a cylindrical part central closed by an inner end cap which is separable from the central cap when installing the bottle in a liquid dispensing fountain.
- the invention also relates to a pocket and ring assembly integral with the opening of the pocket, this ring having at least one channel for communicating with
- the invention also relates to a cylinder for the application of the filling method defined above which comprises at least one hole for relating the external atmosphere and the internal space of the cylinder which is external to the pocket.
- the invention also relates to an accessory for a drinking liquid dispensing fountain which is characterized in that it comprises a flexible pocket, for single use, filled with the liquid to be dispensed and intended to be introduced into the fountain for this dispensing, the pocket flexible being such that as it empties of the liquid, its wall remains in contact with the free surface of this liquid so that there is practically no empty space inside the pocket, partially drained of liquid.
- the material of the wall of the flexible pocket is preferably elastic.
- the pocket includes a rim intended to overlap a bottle neck.
- the pocket can be attached to a bottle cap.
- the bottle cap has, for example, a central opening for the introduction and evacuation of liquid, this opening being bordered by a cylindrical inner wall to which the opening of the pocket is attached.
- the end of the cylindrical inner wall has a rim which is secured to the opening of the pocket.
- the opening edge of the pocket is, for example, molded onto the end rim of the cylindrical inner wall of the plug.
- the bottle cap may further include, for closing its central opening, a central cap cooperating by snap-fastening with the cylindrical inner wall.
- the opening edge of the pocket cooperates, in one embodiment, with the end rim of the cylindrical interior wall in the form of a gutter and is held against this rim when the central plug is put in place.
- a ring can be provided interposed between the end edge of the pocket and an end edge of a sleeve of the central plug.
- the central cap has, in one embodiment, a central cylindrical part closed by an inner end cap which is separable from the central cap when installing a bottle in a liquid dispensing fountain.
- the central plug has, according to one embodiment, a central cylindrical part closed by a precut element, these precuts allow the passage of a tube during the installation of a cylinder in a liquid dispensing fountain. Pre-cuts have, for example, radial directions or a spiral shape.
- the accessory may include a ring secured to the opening of the pocket, this ring having at least one channel for communicating with the atmosphere 1 inside space of a cylinder which is outside the pocket.

- FIGS. 1 and 2 for the distribution of water in an autonomous fountain, that is to say one not connected to a pipe of a distribution network, one provides a cylinder 10 of substantially rigid plastic material, for example transparent and, to guarantee the cleanliness of the water distributed, it is contained in a bag 12 of elastomeric material which, before filling (Figure 1), has a volume substantially less than that of the cylinder 10.
- a bag 12 of elastomeric material which, before filling ( Figure 1), has a volume substantially less than that of the cylinder 10.
- the length of the bag 12 is approximately equal to half the height of the cylinder 10 and its diameter is substantially smaller than that of the neck 14 of the cylinder (FIG. 2).
- the diameter and length of the expandable or elastic pocket will be determined by the viscosity of the liquid food.
- the pocket 12 After filling with water, the pocket 12 follows the internal wall of the cylinder.
- the pocket 12 has an opening bordered by a flange 16 overlapping the neck 14 ( Figures 1 and 3).
- the cylinder 10 has at least one hole (not shown) at any location. After filling the bottle is closed by a plug 20 ( Figure 3) of known type.
- This known plug 20 comprises a skirt 22 retained by snap-fastening by the upper part 24 of the neck, the external wall of which is covered by the rim 16 of the pocket 12.
- the plug 20 has a central opening 26 bordered by a cylindrical part 28 dipping to 1 'interior of the cylinder and 1 interior end of this cylindrical portion 28 is closed by an inner plug 30 which itself has two flanges 32 and 34.
- the flange 32 is applied against the inner wall of the cylindrical wall 28 while that the flange 34 is applied against the external wall of the cylindrical wall 28.
- the internal plug 30 is held at the end of the wall 28 by snap-fastening the flange 34 onto an external bead 36 of this wall 28.
- the central opening 26 is closed by a patch
- the glue applying the patch 40 against the external wall of the plug 20 is such that when the patch 40 is detached it can no longer be bonded.
- a cylinder without a tablet 40 should not be used because it does not include the tablet constituting a guarantee against unauthorized access to the interior of the cylinder.
- the opening 26, the wall 28 and the plug 30 are intended to cooperate with a distribution tube 42 of the fountain.
- the neck is turned downwards (that is to say in the opposite direction to that shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3) and the distribution tube 42 is made to penetrate into the opening 26.
- the end of this tube 42 which enters the cylinder is closed. It pushes the inner plug 30 which remains, in principle, snapped at the end of the pipe 42 as shown in broken lines in Figure 3.
- This conduit 42 has, inside the cylinder, openings 44 through which 1 ' water from the cylinder may drain.
- the duct 42 is connected to an external tap (not shown).
- the stopper 30 When the bottle is extracted from the fountain, the stopper 30 in principle comes back to its place at the end of the cylindrical wall 28, which guarantees the tightness of the bottle after its separation from the fountain. Then the bottle is sent to a cleaning and filling center. In this center the cap 20 and the bag 12 are discarded, the bottle is cleaned and a new bag 12 and a new cap are installed before or after filling depending on the variant used, which guarantees the cleanliness of the tank.
- the fountain equipped with a pocket bottle 12 has the same hygiene guarantees as the water distributed in single-use bottles.
- Figures 4 and 4a show a fountain 50 equipped with a cylinder 10 and an inner pocket 12 according to the invention.
- the bag is full while in Figure 4a the water fills only about a quarter of the volume of the cylinder 10.
- the bag being flexible, it does not outside air does not rise through the liquid because the bag tends to return to its initial low volume. Thus, the water does not come into contact with the outside air, which constitutes an additional guarantee of the quality of the bottled liquid.
- the water contained in the bag 12 is distributed only by gravity. However, in the case where the pocket 12 is made of elastic material, the elasticity exerts a slight pressure which improves the regularity of the water distribution.
- the pocket 12 is made of elastic material, the elasticity exerts a slight pressure which improves the regularity of the water distribution.
- water contamination In fact, during filling, residues which may remain in the cylinder after washing will not have a contaminating effect and the air surrounding the water distribution fountain does not pass through the water distributed.
- the presence of the pocket 12 also limits the risks for the water distribution tank during filling. In fact, with the conventional filling process, provision is made to return too much water returning from the filled cylinders to the distribution tank. Thus, with the current system, a contaminated cylinder can contaminate the entire distribution tank, which cannot be the case with the use of a disposable bag.
- the bag 60 is secured to a cap 62 for closing the bottle (not shown in Figure 5).
- This stopper 62 thus comprises an upper wall 64 with a central opening 66, bordered by a cylindrical wall 68 projecting towards the inside of the pocket 60.
- the stopper also includes an outer rim 70 similar to the rim 22 in the embodiment shown in Figure 3, that is to say intended to snap onto the top of the neck of the cylinder.
- the edges of the opening of the pocket 60 are secured, for example by gluing or heat-bonding, to the inner face of the wall 64, between the cylindrical wall 68 and the outer rim 70.
- a central plug 72 is intended to close the central opening 66 after filling of the pocket 60, the cap 62 being installed on the neck of the cylinder.
- the upper wall 64 comprises at least one hole 74 for evacuating air which is located between its outer periphery and the pocket 60.
- This hole 74 makes it possible to evacuate the air located between the pocket 60 and the internal wall of the cylinder when the pocket 60 is filled.
- This hole 74 also makes it possible to bring air into the cylinder outside the pocket 60, when the latter empties during use, that is to say when installed on the fountain.
- FIG. 6 corresponds to an alternative embodiment of FIG. 5.
- the upper edge of the pocket 60 is integral with the internal cylindrical wall 68.
- the central plug 72 has an external cylindrical edge 76 intended to cooperate by snap-fastening with the internal cylindrical wall 68.
- the edge 76 of the central plug 72 has a groove 80 intended to cooperate with a rib 82 of the internal face of the wall 68.
- the central plug 72 has a central opening 84 bordered by an internal cylindrical part 86 intended to allow the passage of the water distribution tube from the fountain (as described in relation to FIG. 3).
- the conduit 86 is closed by an internal plug 88 similar to the plug 30 shown in FIG. 3 and having the same role as this plug 30.
- This plug 88 like the plug 30, is detached from the cylindrical conduit 86 when the cylinder is installed in the fountain and returns to close this conduit when the cylinder is removed from the fountain.
- the inner plug 88 (like the inner plug 30 in FIG. 3) does not come back to plug the duct 86 and remains in the pocket 60 to be discarded.
- this malfunction does not constitute a drawback since the pocket 60 must be discarded.
- FIG. 7 and 8 an embodiment of the invention which allows the use of a bottle cap of the conventional type, that is to say a cap similar to the cap 20 described in relation to FIG. 3, without however having to drill the cylinder to allow the evacuation of air during filling as well as the introduction of air during water distribution.
- the opening of the pocket 90 (FIG. 7) is integral with a ring 92, the lower face of which is intended to bear on the upper edge 94 of the cylinder 96 and this lower face of the ring 92 has at least one groove 98 which opens, on one side, inside 100 of the cylinder, between the pocket 90 and the internal wall of this cylinder, and, on the other side, outside of the cylinder .
- the closure plug is not installed during filling of the bag 90 with water.
- the plug (not shown in FIG. 7) is installed .
- This plug partially opposes the entry of air into the space between the pocket 90 and the cylinder.
- the plug does not ensure complete airtightness and therefore allows the introduction of air into the space between the pocket 90 and the cylinder 96.
- This air flow rate is however less than during filling.
- this difference between the flow rates is not a drawback since the water distribution takes place much more slowly than the water filling.
- the bag 90 is filled with water by moving the ring 92 away from the edge 94 of the cylinder 96. In these conditions, the air in the cylinder outside the pocket 90 can, during filling, escape through the space provided between the edge 94 and the ring 92.
- an overpressure is applied around the pocket in the bottle.
- the plug 110 has inwardly a sleeve 112, for example similar to the sleeve 68 of the embodiment shown in Figure 6, having its lower end a gutter 114 which is secured by overmolding the pocket 116 ( Figure 11).
- the stopper is, for example, made of polyethylene or polypropylene with a gutter 114 whose bottom has holes 118] _, II82 regularly spaced and whose rim has lights 120 ⁇ , etc. also regularly spaced.
- this gutter is immersed in a bath of molten latex to produce the pocket 116 welded and overmolded in the gutter as shown in FIG. 11.
- the plug 122 comprises a peripheral part 122 and a central part 134.
- the peripheral part comprises a sleeve
- the rolled edge 128 is held at the bottom of the groove 126 by means of a ring 132 cooperating with the central part 134 which has an outer sleeve 138 whose end edges 140 press the ring 132 against the rolled edge 128 in order to apply to the bottom of the groove 126 when the central part 134 of the plug is associated with the peripheral part 122 by cooperation of a projection 144 of the sleeve 138 in a groove 146 of the central sleeve of the peripheral part 122 of the plug.
- the diameter of the end part of the sleeve 124 is greater than the diameter of the rest of the sleeve so as to produce a flange 150 constituting an upper stop for the ring 132.
- the central part 134 of the stopper comprises a central sleeve 152 similar to the sleeve 86 of the example in FIG. 6 which ends at its lower end by a frustoconical part 154 having a role similar to the element 88 of FIG. 6, namely that it prevents, or limits, leaks of liquid when the bottle is extracted from the fountain.
- this element 154 has cutouts, or precuts, to allow the tube 42 (FIG. 3) to be able to penetrate inside the carboy.
- the precuts have a radial shape, that is to say that the cuts 156 converge at the center 158, along the axis 160 of the plug.
- the element 154 is cut into a spiral 160.
- FIG. 15 differs from that shown in FIG. 12 by the fact that the cylindrical central part of the main plug 170 has an upper part 172 of larger diameter into which the central plug 174 engages by click 176 and this upper part 172 is extended downwards by another cylindrical wall 178 of smaller diameter connected by a shoulder 180 to the upper part 172.
- This shoulder 180 constitutes a support for the lower end 182 of the central plug 174.
- the cylindrical wall 178 ends with a rim 184, facing inwards, to which the pocket 190 is welded.
- FIG 16 differs from that shown in Figure 15 by the fact that the wall 178 does not have a lower edge.
- the pocket 192 is welded to the lower part 194 of this wall 178.
- the material of the pocket is either flexible and expandable, or flexible and non-expandable.
- the flexible nature of the bag which prevents that, during the dispensing of liquid, air can enter the liquid because the upper part of the bag which empties s' collapses by gravity and leaves practically no room for air return.
- the upper part folds up and remains practically in contact with the free surface of the remaining liquid.
- the folds are fewer.
