Abstract
A device for discharging fluids includes a container, to be opened and closed, which forms an interior space of the device for accommodating a spray medium; a capsule connector means in order to establish a fluidic connection between an exchangeable capsule filled with gas and the device; a discharge opening through which the spray medium can be discharged from the device interior space upon actuating the device. A pressure regulator is provided in order to guarantee the discharge of the spray medium, for example, in the form of hot chocolate, at a uniform pressure.
Claims15
Apparatus for discharge of fluids, the apparatus comprising:
- a container that is to be opened and closed, and forms a device interior space for accommodation of a spray medium;
- a capsule connector, in order to produce a fluidic connection between an exchangeable gas-filled capsule and the apparatus;
- a discharge opening through which the spray medium can be discharged from the device interior space when the apparatus is activated;
- and
- a first pressure regulator provided in order to guarantee discharge of the spray medium at a uniform pressure;
- wherein the first pressure regulator comprises a low-pressure piston, a low-pressure piston spring, and a high-pressure valve, the low-pressure piston having a low-pressure piston surface, the high-pressure valve having a high-pressure valve tappet and a high-pressure valve spring;
- wherein the high-pressure valve tappet comprises a conical section and a cylindrical section adjoining the conical section;
- wherein the cylindrical section of the high-pressure tappet presses against the low-pressure piston;
- wherein such a pressure can be applied to the low-pressure piston surface via the gas from the capsule, such that the low-pressure piston spring is compressed and the high-pressure valve is closed;
- and
- wherein the first pressure regulator further comprises a pressure-control valve disposed between the capsule connector and the high-pressure valve along a flow path of the gas from the capsule, wherein the pressure-control valve has a pressure-control valve piston and a sealing cone, the pressure-control valve piston having a pressure-control valve piston surface and a face-side partial surface facing away from the pressure-control valve piston surface for pressing on the sealing cone.
