Abstract: A coupling serving for connecting a double valve on a pressure container with a content of pressure gas, such as CO2, and a liquid, such as beer, to a pressure-gas source and a tap for drawing the liquid respectively. The valve comprises a blockable gas and liquid passage respectively, and the coupling comprises a housing for coaxial mounting on an upper flange on the valve, a slide which is placed in the housing and which can be displaced by means of a hand grip between an upper position where the valve is closed and a lower position where the valve is open; an elastomeric sleeve secured onto the slide and forming sealing between the slide and the valve flange in the mounted position of the coupling; a mainly tubular plunger secured in the slide; and a gas chamber formed between the plunger, the sleeve, and an inner wall in the slide.

Abstract: A blocking arrangement serves for securing prevention of a spear (1) being unscrewed from a corresponding neck ring (3) in a container for a liquid, for example, beer, being under pressure by a drive gas in the container. The blocking arrangement consists of a split spring ring (8) which is placed in a groove (5) constructed in the corresponding neck ring (3). This groove is so deep that the spring ring is allowed to be squeezed radially into the groove. The expansion for the spring ring radially outwardly is limited, however, by in inwardly turning cylinder face (22) on the spear (1). Furthermore, the spear has an upwardly turning blocking face (12) which adjoins the cylinder face (22). When dismounting of the spear is attempted, its blocking face (12) adjoins the spring ring (8) which is retained axially by the downwardly turning upper side (16) of the groove.

Abstract: A sealing ring is placed in a container device which serves the purpose of distributing a liquid, e.g. draught beer, which is stored in a container under pressure of a gas, e.g. CO.sub.2. In a threaded neck ring on the container a valve is threadingly retained. The valve is a combined gas- and liquid valve with passages for gas as well as liquid. On the valve and the neck ring planar, parallel, opposite ring faces are formed between which the sealing ring. From the ring face of the valve, a cylindrical projection protrudes and extends downwards to the ring face of the neck ring. Between the valve and the neck ring there is a slot space through which an overpressure in the container can be relieved when the valve is being dismounted.

Abstract: In a double valve (4) for transportable containers (1) for distribution a liquid under pressure of a gas, a safety arrangement is adapted for preventing a person, who tries to dismount a valve while there is an over-pressure in the container, to be injured. The double valve has a housing (5a,5b) for detachable fixing the valve in a vertically mounted neck ring (2) in the container. In the housing a displaceable riser pipe (8), acted on by a pressure spring (10), is mounted having an elastomere valve ring (9) partly for closing a gas passage between the housing and the valve ring, partly a liquid passage between the opening in this and a valve plug (13) loaded by a second pressure spring in the riser pipe. Furthermore in the housing under the neck ring there is a catch (17) with a vertically, downwardly converging wedge (19) the narrow edge (21) of which is tiltingly supported by the lower edge (27) of a window (15) in the wall of the housing (5b).

Abstract: A dispenser head serves to dispense a liquid which is pressurized by gas in a container having a valve. The dispenser head comprises a housing with a gas chamber and a tubular slide which can be moved up and down for opening and closing the valve. With a view to facilitating dismounting of the dispensing head when the container is empty, the wall of the housing is formed with a first gas channel which extends upwards from the gas chamber to a mouth. The slide is moreover formed with an annular groove communicating with said mouth in the upper slide position and via a second gas channel with the atmosphere. The positive pressure in the gas chamber is thereby relieved immediately when the slide is pulled up to close the valve, and the dispenser head can therefore be pulled clear of the valve flange easily and conveniently in the dismounting operation.
