Abstract
A dosing spout for mounting on a container has a liquid outlet valve which, at placing of the spout in an electric field, can be actuated by the field for opening of outflow of liquid directly from the container and out through the mouth of the spout, and an air inlet valve which can let air from the surroundings directly into the container as compensation for the quantity of liquid flowing out. The armature of the liquid outlet valve and the armature of the air inlet valve are arranged consecutively in their longitudinal direction of displacement.
Claims18
A dosing spout for mounting on a container comprising:
- a liquid outlet valve which, at placing of the spout in an electric field, can be actuated by the field for opening of outflow of liquid directly from the container and out through a mouth of the spout, and an air inlet valve which can let air from the surroundings directly into the container as compensation for a quantity of liquid flowing out, the dosing spout being adapted for actuation of the liquid outlet valve and the air inlet valve for substantially simultaneous opening of these, the liquid outlet valve and the air inlet valve each having a separate armature and each being actuateable by displacement in longitudinal direction of its respective armature, said armatures being influenced by the electric field, and the armature of the liquid outlet valve and the armature of the air inlet valve being arranged consecutively in the longitudinal direction.
A dosing spout for mounting on a container comprising:
- a liquid outlet valve which, at placing of the spout in an electric field, can be actuated by the field for opening of outflow of liquid directly from the container and out through a mouth of the spout, and an air inlet valve which can let air from the surroundings directly into the container as compensation for a quantity of liquid flowing out, the liquid outlet valve and the air inlet valve each having a separate armature and each being actuateable by displacement of its respective armature, said armatures being influenced by the electric field, and the spout being provided with a magnetizable armature fixed stationarily in the dosing spout and being placed between the armature of the liquid outlet valve and the armature of the air inlet valve.
A dosing spout for mounting on a container comprising:
- a liquid outlet valve which, at placing of the spout in an electric field, can be actuated by the field for opening of outflow of liquid directly from the container and out through a mouth of the spout, and an air inlet valve which can let air from the surroundings directly into the container as compensation for a quantity of liquid flowing out, the liquid outlet valve and the air inlet valve each having a separate armature and each being actuateable by displacement of its respective armature, said armatures being influenced by the electric field, and the armature of the liquid outlet valve and the armature of the air inlet valve being mutually displaceable by mutual magnetic influence as a result of the magnetic field.
A method of dispensing of liquor wherein:
- a dosing spout is inserted in an electric coil;
- the dosing spout comprising a liquid outlet valve which, at placing of the spout in an electric field, can be actuated by the field for opening of outflow of liquid directly from the container and out through a mouth of the spout, and an air inlet valve which can let air from the surroundings directly into the container as compensation for a quantity of liquid flowing out, the liquid outlet valve and the air inlet valve each having a separate armature and each being actuateable by displacement of its respective armature, said armatures being influenced by the electric field;
- and the coil is subsequently energized for application of a first power input in the coil for a fraction of a second, preferably less than half a second, whereby the air inlet valve of the dosing spout is opened, whereupon the current and/or voltage of the coil is increased for application of a second power input which is larger than the first power input, whereby the liquid outlet valve of the dosing spout is opened.
