Abstract: The invention relates to a container for liquids, such as beverages and oils, comprising a casing enveloped by a shell and a valve for dispensing the liquid from the container. The casing and the shell are, at least locally, positively fixed relative to each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container (1) for liquids such as beverages and oils comprising a blow moulded polyester casing (2), a valve (4) for dispensing the liquid from the container and an inlet for introducing a propellant. The casing (2) is enveloped by an stretch blow moulded polyester shell (9).

Abstract: A container for liquids, such as beverages and oils, may include a blow moulded polyester casing, a valve for dispensing the liquid from the container, and an inlet for introducing a propellant. The casing may be enveloped by a stretch blow moulded polyester shell.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container assembly for liquids, such as beverages and oils, comprising a container, chimes and a valve assembly for feeding a propellant to and dispensing the liquid from the container. A portion of the assembly has a polygonal cross-section, which cross-section at least partially circumscribes the cross-section(s) of the remainder of the assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container for a pressurized beverage, in particular beer, comprising a casing of a thermoplastic material, a valve part for dispensing the beverage from the container, and an expandable device holding a compressed gas or a gas generating system for expanding the device during or after filling the container to compensate for an increase in the volume of the container resulting from creep in the thermoplastic material.

Abstract: A closing valve for a container for a fluid includes an outer jacket connected or connectable to an opening in the container or forming part of the container. An inner jacket is accommodated inside the outer jacket and has an opening through which the fluid can be fed to or withdrawn from the container. A closing element is positioned inside the inner jacket or between the inner jacket and the outer jacket and movable between at least a first position closing the opening and a second position clearing the opening, wherein at least the closing element is made from a polymer material. The closing element comprises a sealing member and a spring, which urges the closing element into the first position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container for liquids, such as beverages and oils, comprising a casing enveloped by a shell and valve for dispensing the liquid from the container. The casing and the shell are, at least locally, positively fixed relative to each other.

Abstract: A dispense head to be connected to a valve of a container for fluids, in particular liquids, such as beer or water. The dispense head comprises a housing and a probe. The distal end of the probe is detached or detachable from the rest of the probe and/or the housing and the distal end is connected or connectable to a flexible hose.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container assembly for liquids, such as beverages and oils, comprising a container, chimes and a valve assembly for feeding a propellant to and dispensing the liquid from the container. A portion of the assembly has a polygonal cross-section, which cross-section at least partially circumscribes the cross-section(s) of the remainder of the assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tap (8) for fluids, in particular carbonated liquids, such as beer or soft drink, comprising a tap body (14), a valve (9) removably accommodated in the tap body (14), and a handle (20) for opening and closing the tap (8). The valve (9) comprises a first part (22) coupled or to be coupled to the tap body (14) and a second part (27) connected to the first part (22) and operatively coupled or to be coupled to the handle (20), the first and second parts (22, 27) being rotatable and/or translatable relative to each other between at least an open position and a closed position. A protective cap (34) prevents the valve (9) from being closed. The cap (34) is removable only after installation of the valve (9) in the tap body (14).

Abstract: The invention relates to a container for fluids, in particular liquids, such as beer or water, comprising an outer casing, preferably spheroid and preferably made of a rigid material, a gas and/or liquid tight inner casing of a flexible material located inside the outer casing, a valve part for filling the container with a fluid, and at least one vent via which the inside of the outer casing communicates with the outside at least during filling. One or more spacers are located between the inner casing and the outer casing, providing one or more venting paths at least during filling.
