Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention allows beer liquid to stay in the liquid reservoir provided in the meandering channel of the main body inside the mini-keg spout attached to the mouth of the draft beer mini-keg, and enter the mini-tank. This invention relates to a spout for a draft beer mini-keg that is intended to block out air and prevent the taste of beer in the container from deteriorating due to contact with air.

Draft beer has become very popular recently, and aluminum mini kegs of 2 to 31 are now on sale.

Mini kegs like this are not a problem because they empty in a short time when a large group of people are drinking, but when drinking with a large group of people, it takes a long time for the beer in the tank to empty. Therefore, when the barrel is opened, the alcohol and carbon dioxide gas inside the beer is released, and the taste of the delicious draft beer gradually deteriorates. There is a drawback.

This is because the open mouth of the mini-keg causes the beer in the tank to come in contact with the outside air and change, causing carbon dioxide and alcohol to escape.Currently, there is no way to prevent this from happening with the mini-kegs on the market.

The present invention proposes a spout for mini-kegs that can prevent the draft beer from leaking out of the mini-tank and allow you to drink delicious draft beer even after drinking for a long time.

According to this proposal, the pouring spout for mini-kegs involves inserting the spout according to the present invention into the opening of a container such as a mini-keg, and raising the mini-keg onto a table every time beer is poured into a mug or the like. The remaining beer inside the bottle flows backwards into a container such as a mini keg, but the last remaining beer is blocked by the partition plate of the spout and remains in the liquid reservoir of the iron part.

The water surface remains in the same horizontal plane as the upper end of the partition plate 6a, and the beer flowing backwards stops.

In this case, the flow path provided at the lower end of the other partition plate 6b is submerged below the beer liquid level, and relates to a draft beer pouring spout configured to block air from entering the mini tank.

The embodiments shown in the drawings will be explained below.

Figure 1 shows an example of this invention, a spout A for a draft beer mini barrel.
2 and 3 are views showing the state of use, respectively. Reference numeral 1 indicates a stopper 1 made of a flexible material such as rubber, plastic, or cork.

This stopper 1 is formed in a shape and size that fits an opening 3 of a container 2 such as a mini barrel for draft beer.

A hole for inserting a flow pipe 4a passes through the plug body 1, and the flow pipe 4a protruding from the lower part of the mini barrel pouring body 4 is inserted into this hole.

The flow pipe 4a is formed integrally with the pouring body 4 in the drawing, and protrudes downward from the bottom of the pouring body.

The flow pipe 4a provided in this manner does not necessarily need to be formed integrally with the main body, and may be installed separately from the main body.

4 is a poured Japanese tai.

This main body is formed into a rectangular box shape, and a flow pipe 4a is provided on the negative side of the main body to project downward, and is inserted into a hole in the stopper body 1.

(See FIG. 1) The socket at the tip of the flow pipe 4a is cut into an inclined shape.

(See FIG. 1) This shape has the effect of helping the beer in the mini tank flow into the channel 8 when the mini keg is tilted to pour beer into the mug 10.

Next, 4b indicates an outlet.

This outlet is formed so as to protrude from the upper part of the pouring body 4.

5 indicates a flow path.

The flow path 5 is provided in a meandering manner, and a liquid reservoir is provided in order to reduce the flow velocity when beer is poured and flow through the body of the beer, and to make it easier to pour beer into a mug.

Next, 63 and 6b indicate partition plates that partition the flow path inside the pouring body.

These partition plates are made of two partition plates 6a and 6 each in order to form a meandering flow path inside the main body 4 or to provide a liquid reservoir.
b is based on the upper and lower plate walls, extends vertically toward the opposing wall plates, and forms each flow path at its tip.

The partition plates 6 a and 6 b have predetermined thicknesses, widths, and lengths.

And these partition plates 6a and 6b are one of the partition plates 6
A is based on the inner wall of the lower bottom plate and extends perpendicularly to the opposing upper end plate wall surface, and its upper end forms a flow path between the opposing wall surface.

The other partition plate 6b is based on the inner wall surface of the upper end plate, extends vertically downward from the iron part, and is stretched parallel to the opposing partition plate 6a at a predetermined interval to partition the flow path. The tip portion forms a flow path similarly to the partition plate 6a.

As described above, the two partition plates 6 a and 6 b partition the flow path inside the main body 4, forming a flow path between the upper and lower ends of each, and the upper end of one of the partition plates 6 a is It is always located above the lower end of the partition plate 6b.

In this way, since one side of the flow path is high and the other side is low, the flow of beer inside the pouring tube is such that the beer that flows out from the mini tank is first led to each partition plate, and the beer that flows from the top of the partition plate 6a flows. The water flows out through a channel provided at the lower end of the partition plate 6b, and is sequentially poured from the upper part through the channel 5 downward into a mug or the like from the upper outlet 4b.

Next, after pouring the beer, when the container 2 such as a mini keg is raised on the table, the beer remaining in the spout according to the present invention flows back into the mini tank.

In this case, the remaining beer liquid blocked by the partition plate 6a rises, becomes parallel to the upper end of the partition plate 6a, and remains in the liquid reservoir while maintaining a horizontal plane.

(See Figure 3) In this case, the lower end of the partition plate 6b is
In this case, the lower end of the partition plate 6b sinks below the horizontal plane of the beer liquid in the liquid reservoir and is located in the beer liquid.

Therefore, since the flow path provided at the lower end of the partition plate 6b is submerged in the beer liquid, air entering from the outlet 4b is blocked by the liquid reservoir and does not enter the mini tank.

As mentioned above, the mini-keg pour spout of the present invention prevents air from entering the beer tank, even if two mini-kegs are open and drinking beer for a long time. It can prevent the taste from getting worse.

In this way, the liquid reservoir is provided by the partition plates 6a and 6b, and in addition to preventing air from entering the mini tank, the flow path is separated by the two partition plates 6.
Since it was provided at the same position on the upper and lower parts by a and 6 b,
The flow path is formed in a serpentine shape, and the flow rate of the beer drops to the bottom and the flow rate is restricted, so it is poured extremely quietly into a beer mug, etc., and the inside of the flow path is compressed by a partition plate, so the beer The pourer is extremely quiet and allows you to pour beer with greater peace of mind than pouring beer directly from the mouth of a mini keg, etc., and is more economical as it does not spill the beer. The flow path 5 that rises near the outlet 4b has a wall portion 9 that protrudes into the flow path 5 and changes the flow path.
It extends to

Beer that hits this wall slows down its flow, which is extremely effective when pouring beer.

Next, 7 shows a pin inserted into a pin hole provided in the plug body 1.

This pin hole is a hole that helps the beer flow out by pulling out the pin when pouring beer in a container such as a mini-keg into a mug, and air is taken in through the hole.

Depending on the degree of air infiltration, this hole may be made somewhat thicker or may have 1 to 3 holes.

When the pouring spout for mini-kegs according to the present invention as described above is inserted into the opening 3 of the mini-keg along the arrow and tilted as shown in Fig. 2, the beer liquid flows through the liquid reservoir 5 provided by the guides 6a and 6b and the pouring date. Draft beer is poured into a mug from the open end of the outlet 4b of the main body 4.

At this time, the wall 9 near the mouth protrudes over the flow path, and the iron part changes the flow path by interfering with the flow rate of the beer by protruding over the flow path and pouring a predetermined amount into a mug or the like that quiets the flow of beer. When
When the mini keg is stood up as shown in Figure 3, the beer flows backwards, and the draft beer remaining inside the main body is dammed up by the partition plate 6a, collects in the liquid reservoir 5 (the shaded area in Figure 3), and enters the mini tank. Block out the air.

As a result, the beer liquid in the mini tank rarely comes into contact with the outside air, so there is little release of carbon dioxide gas or alcohol, so the so-called so-called staleness does not come out, so even if it is brewed for a long time. Not only does the taste of the beer in the mini tank not deteriorate until the end, but it also has many effects such as being able to control the amount of beer flowing out from the spout.

As described above, the present invention has a simple structure and can prevent the beer in the tank from coming into contact with the outside air, allowing a small number of people to enjoy delicious beer for a long time.
