Problems solved by technology

Thus, due to the greater flow velocity at the lowest point of the frusto-conical concave annular groove when the spout is positioned, the flow at the highest point is decelerated as it flows around the concave annular groove before being discharged into the spout , so the flow velocity is not balanced in this structure

Embodiment Construction

[0092] Although embodiments of the invention have been described and shown in the drawings including movement of the female cone relative to the fixed male cone, it will be appreciated that it is possible to have the female cone fixed to the faucet body and The male cone is moved by external means known in the art eg in GB2117094 as mentioned above and other prior art. In that case the concave cone can be part of the valve body. However it is preferred that the female cone is movable relative to the fixed male cone, in which case the female cone is also movable within the valve body.

[0093] The invention described herein defines two alternative positional orientations, vertical or horizontal. Beverage dispensing taps configured in two alternative configurations can be oriented vertically or horizontally and facilitate known connections and configurations for the beverage delivery housing. In both orientations, the beverage dispense valve has the same main components as des...

Abstract

A beverage dispense valve comprising (i) a valve body; (ii) a female taper member inside the valve body the internal diameter increasing in a downstream direction away from the beverage inlet port; (iii) a male taper member, the external diameter of the taper portion increasing in a downstream direction so as to be at least partially complementary to the female taper member, and having a hollow outlet portion downstream of the taper portion, one taper member being slidable relative to the other forming a flow regulator; (iv) one or more apertures penetrating through the male taper member to allow beverage to pass into the interior of the outlet portion, (v) a valve closure arrangement for sealing flow between the beverage inlet port and the beverage outlet port; and (vi) an actuating mechanism outside the valve body to operate both the flow regulator and the valve closure arrangement. The beverage dispense valve described allows simultaneous control of the flow rate of beverage through the valve in unison with the opening and closing of the valve.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a beverage dispensing valve and in particular to a Combination Piston Taper Valve that simultaneously controls the flow of liquid through the valve in coordination with the opening and closing of the valve. Especially in the field of beverage dispensing devices, especially for dispensing beer and soft drinks, especially draft beer and carbonated soft drinks, which are temperature controlled and supplied from pre-mix or post-mix pressurized containers. The background of the invention is described with reference to a beverage dispensing tap (BDT) for dispensing pressurized carbonated beverages, but the invention is not limited thereto. Background technique [0002] Beverage dispensing taps (BDTs) with slidable sealing piston valves or spring loaded tensioned sealing piston valves are generally known. A handle for opening and closing flow through the BDT is typically attached to the faucet body such that movement of the h...
