Device 5 for connecting a gas line 6 to a bag-in-container type of container 3, comprising a first 61 and a second part 62, movably connected to said first part 61, wherein one of the first or second part 61, 62 comprises a coupling opening 60 with coupling elements 67 for connecting the device 5 to a part of a bag-in-container type container 3 extending inside coupling opening 60. The connecting device 5 comprises a connecting element 70, movable between an extended position wherein the connecting element 70 extends partly inside coupling opening 60 and a retracted position in which the connecting element 70 extends less or not into coupling opening 60, the connecting device 5 further comprising a mechanism 72 for moving the connecting element 70 between the extended and the retracted position by relative movement of first and second parts 61, 62.
Connecting device for connecting at least a gas line to a container, wherein the container is a bag-in-container type of container wherein the connecting device comprises a first part and a second part coupled to the first part, movably connected to said first part, wherein at least one of the first and/or second part is provided with a coupling opening with coupling elements for connecting the device to a part of the bag-in-container type container extending inside said coupling opening, wherein the connecting device is further provided with at least one gas connecting element, movable between an extended position in which the gas connecting element extends at least partly inside said coupling opening and a retracted position in which the gas connecting element extends less or not into said coupling opening, the connecting device further comprising a mechanism for moving the at least one gas connecting element between the extended position and the retracted position by relative movement of the first and second parts, wherein the coupling opening extends through the connecting device and is provided with a first end and a second end, wherein a connector is provided, in one of the first end and the second end of the coupling opening, wherein the connector comprises a coupler for opening a valve of a container to which a tapping device is connected and a tapping line extending from said connector, connected to the connector with a first end.
Connecting device for connecting at least a gas line to a container, wherein the container is a bag-in-container type of container wherein the connecting device comprises a first part and a second part coupled to the first part, movably connected to said first part, wherein at least one of the first and/or second part is provided with a coupling opening with coupling elements for connecting the device to a part of the bag-in-container type container extending inside said coupling opening, wherein the connecting device is further provided with at least one gas connecting element, movable between an extended position in which the gas connecting element extends at least partly inside said coupling opening and a retracted position in which the gas connecting element extends less or not into said coupling opening, the connecting device further comprising a mechanism for moving the at least one gas connecting element between the extended position and the retracted position by relative movement of the first and second parts, wherein the coupling opening extends through the connecting device, wherein in and/or through said coupling opening a dispense line extends, which has a first end connected to a dispense adaptor for connecting to and opening a valve of the container to which the connecting device is connected.
Connecting device for connecting at least a gas line to a container, wherein the container is a bag-in-container type of container, wherein the connecting device comprises a first part and a second part coupled to the first part, movably connected to said first part, wherein at least one of the first and/or second part is provided with a coupling opening with coupling elements for connecting the device to a part of the bag-in-container type container extending inside said coupling opening, wherein the connecting device is further provided with at least one gas connecting element, movable between an extended position in which the gas connecting element extends at least partly inside said coupling opening and a retracted position in which the gas connecting element extends less or not into said coupling opening, the connecting device further comprising a mechanism for moving the at least one gas connecting element between the extended position and the retracted position by relative movement of the first and second parts, wherein the first part and the second part of the connecting device are rotatable relative to each other, wherein the said relative rotation of the first and second parts closes off said coupling elements of the connecting device, such that complementary coupling elements of the container to which the connecting device is coupled are locked within said coupling elements of the connecting device.
Connecting device for connecting at least a gas line to a container, wherein the container is a bag-in-container type of container wherein the connecting device comprises a first part and a second part coupled to the first part, movably connected to said first part, wherein at least one of the first and/or second part is provided with a coupling opening with coupling elements for connecting the device to a part of the bag-in-container type container extending inside said coupling opening, wherein the connecting device is further provided with at least one gas connecting element, movable between an extended position in which the gas connecting element extends at least partly inside said coupling opening and a retracted position in which the gas connecting element extends less or not into said coupling opening, the connecting device further comprising a mechanism for moving the at least one gas connecting element between the extended position and the retracted position by relative movement of the first and second parts, wherein the at least one coupling opening in the connecting device has a longitudinal axis (Y-Y), extending in a direction substantially parallel to an insertion direction for a neck portion of the container, wherein the at least one connecting element has a direction of movement for movement of the at least one connecting element between the extended position and the retracted position, which direction is substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis (Y-Y).
Connecting device for connecting at least a gas line to a bag-in-container type of container, comprising a first part and a second part, movably connected to said first part, wherein at least one of the first and/or second part is provided with a coupling opening with coupling elements for connecting the device to a part of the bag-in-container type container extending inside said coupling opening, wherein the connecting device is further provided with at least one connecting element, movable between an extended position in which the connecting element extends at least partly inside said coupling opening and a retracted position in which the connecting element extends less or not into said coupling opening, the connecting device further comprising a mechanism for moving the at least one connecting element between the extended position and the retracted position by relative movement of the first and second parts, wherein the first part and the second part of the connecting device are rotatable relative to each other, wherein the said relative rotation of the first and second parts closes off said coupling elements of the connecting device, such that complementary coupling elements of the container to which the connecting device is coupled are locked within said coupling elements of the connecting device.
