Embodiment Construction

[0022] Figure 1 to Figure 5 The prior art example of ® has many components in common with the present invention. Therefore, the following description will first describe Figure 1 to Figure 5 of the regular connector, and will then refer to the Figure 6 to Figure 9 To describe the differences of the present invention.

[0023] Figure 1 to Figure 5 The connector consists of two main components, namely, the body 1 and the rod 2. The body 1 is provided with a first inlet port 3 which in use is connected to a cooling water supply. The first port 3 comprises a collet 4 to clamp a pipe for the water supply in a manner well known in the art. The collet 4 fits into a barrel 5 provided with teeth 6 for clamping inside the body. The connection is sealed by an O-ring 7 held in place by a spacer 8 .

[0024] On opposite ends of the body 1 is a coaxial outlet 10 comprising an outer outlet port 11 and an inner outlet port 12 . The outer outlet port 11 is formed from a number of l...

Abstract

An coaxial keg connector comprising a main body (1) made of plastic and having a first inlet port (3) and a second inlet port (3) receiving a stem (2). A coaxial outlet (10) comprises an outer outlet port (11) in communication with the first inlet port (3) and an inner outlet port (12) in communication with the second inlet port. The stem (2) comprises a tubular body with a main axis (31) with an inlet and a connector for attachment to the keg at one end. The second end of the stem opposite to the first end has an outlet in fluid communication with the inner outlet port (12) and comprises a ball joint (61) rotatably mounted in and sealed with respect to the main body (1) so as to be rotatable (12) about the main axis (31) of the tubular body and rotatable (67, 68) to a limited extent about axes perpendicular to the main axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a coaxial connector. Background technique [0002] The connector includes a body made of plastic and having a first inlet port and a second inlet port receiving a stem, and a coaxial outlet including an outer outlet port in communication with the first inlet port and a second inlet port. an internal outlet port in communication with the second inlet port, the rod comprises a tubular body with a main axis with the inlet and a connector for attachment to the barrel at one end, the second end of the rod opposite the first end has An outlet in fluid communication with the interior outlet port. [0003] Such connectors will subsequently be described as "of the type described". The connectors are specially designed for kegs for carbonated beverages such as beer and cider, but can be used with any beverage or liquid or in hot water recirculation systems. [0004] A connector of the type described is connected to a beer keg or the l...
