Abstract
A container for a fluid under pressure, preferably a beer keg, including a neck and a fitting mounted thereon with a suction tube for drawing the fluid into the container. A pressure relief valve is mounted in an upper end of the suction tube or in the neck of the container. The pressure relief valve includes a closing body which is mounted resiliently via a spring and movable from a closing position to an open position by the spring being compressed.
Claims19
A container for a fluid under pressure, comprising:
- a neck and a fitting mounted thereon with a suction tube for drawing the fluid into the container, wherein a pressure relief valve is mounted in an upper end of the suction tube or in the neck of the container, said pressure relief valve comprising a closing body which is mounted resiliently via a spring element and movable from a closing position to an open position by the spring element being compressed;
- and wherein the closing body is mounted such that as a result of a pressure in the container exceeding a determined critical pressure, the closing body is moved from a closing position to an open position, wherein the upper end of the suction tube is provided with a cap with a hole, said hole being sealed by the closing body in the closing position of the closing body.
A container for a fluid under pressure, comprising:
- a neck and a fitting mounted thereon with a suction tube for drawing the fluid into the container, wherein a pressure relief valve is mounted in an upper end of the suction tube or in the neck of the container, said pressure relief valve comprising a closing body which is mounted resiliently via a spring element and movable from a closing position to an open position by the spring element being compressed;
- and wherein the closing body is mounted such that, as a result of a pressure in the container exceeding a determined critical pressure, the closing body is moved from a closing position to an open position, wherein the closing body comprises a clamping part and a spring support for a spring element, wherein the clamping part is connected to the spring support and the spring element acts between the spring support and the suction tube or the neck of the keg such that, when the pressure in the container exceeds a critical value, the spring support presses the clamping part outward counter to the action of the spring element.
A container for a fluid under pressure, comprising:
- a neck and a fitting mounted thereon with a suction tube for drawing the fluid into the container, wherein a pressure relief valve is mounted in an upper end of the suction tube or in the neck of the container, said pressure relief valve comprising a closing body which is mounted resiliently via a spring element and movable from a closing position to an open position by the spring element being compressed;
- and wherein the closing body is mounted such that, as a result of a pressure in the container exceeding a determined critical pressure, the closing body is moved from a closing position to an open position, wherein the closing body comprises a clamping part and a spring support, and that the spring support is an integral piece comprising a base and a connecting shaft directed upward from the base, which connecting shaft is mounted on or in the clamping part.
A container for a fluid under pressure, comprising:
- a neck and a fitting mounted thereon with a suction tube for drawing the fluid into the container, wherein a pressure relief valve is mounted in an upper end of the suction tube or in the neck of the container, said pressure relief valve comprising a closing body which is mounted resiliently via a spring element and movable from a closing position to an open position by the spring element being compressed;
- and wherein the closing body is mounted such that, as a result of a pressure in the container exceeding a determined critical pressure, the closing body is moved from a closing position to an open position, wherein the closing body comprises a clamping part and a spring support, and wherein the clamping part is manufactured from a plastic material which is more compressible than the plastic material from which the spring support is manufactured.
A container for a fluid under pressure, comprising:
- a neck and a fitting mounted thereon with a suction tube for drawing the fluid into the container, wherein a pressure relief valve is mounted in an upper end of the suction tube or in the neck of the container, said pressure relief valve comprising a closing body which is mounted resiliently via a spring element and movable from a closing position to an open position by the spring element being compressed;
- and wherein the closing body is mounted such that, as a result of a pressure in the container exceeding a determined critical pressure, the closing body is moved from a closing position to an open position, wherein the pressure relief valve comprises a housing mounted in sealed manner in an upper end of the suction tube or in the neck.
A container for a fluid under pressure, comprising:
- a neck and a fitting mounted thereon with a suction tube for drawing the fluid into the container, wherein a pressure relief valve is mounted in an upper end of the suction tube or in the neck of the container, said pressure relief valve comprising a closing body which is mounted resiliently via a spring element and movable from a closing position to an open position by the spring element being compressed;
- and wherein the closing body comprises a clamping part which is received in sealing manner in an opening, wherein the opening and the clamping part have a shape such that the clamping part can be pressed outwardly from inside the container, out of the opening, as a result of a pressure in the container exceeding a determined critical pressure.
