Abstract
A dispensing tap for liquids containers includes a main containing body equipped on one side with a liquid dispensing end and on the opposite side with an end designed to perform a connection with a container of liquids; a cap for actuating dispensing operations placed above the liquid dispensing end; and a stem for opening and closing the dispensing of liquids, placed inside the dispensing end and operatively coupled to the cap.
Claims10
A tap for dispensing liquids from rigid containers, the tap comprising:
- a main containing body equipped on a first side with a liquid dispensing end, and equipped on an opposing second side with an end designed to make a connection with a liquid container;
- a cap for activating dispensing operations placed above the liquid dispensing end;
- and
- a stem for opening and closing a dispensing of liquids, placed inside the liquid dispensing end and operatively coupled to the cap;
- wherein the main containing body includes, on the first side, a cylinder inside which the following are obtained:
- an upper seat for external sealing of the cap;
- an internal sealing geometry designed to hermetically mate with an internal geometry of the cap;
- a cylindrical geometry within which four arms placed at 90° to each other are obtained, designed to connect to a central cylinder and form a guide geometry of the stem;
- a conical seal geometry designed to couple with a conical geometry of the stem, generating, when the tap is in a closed position, a hermetic seal;
- wherein the stem includes:
- an undercut attachment geometry, designed to cooperate with a complementary geometry obtained on the cap;
- a relieved elongated part;
- and a conical geometry on which a ring geometry is obtained which is coupled with the conical seal geometry obtained on the main containing body, generating the hermetic seal of the tap;
- wherein the four arms are not connected with a lower part of the tap but with an upper part of the tap preventing post-molding deformations from being transmitted to the conical seal geometry, but at the same time also remaining far from the upper seat and the internal sealing geometry, thereby creating a guide area of the stem placed almost centrally in the main containing body.
