Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in or relating to dispensers, and more particularly but not exclusively to improvements to dispensers for beverages such as water.
  • Dispensing units for beverages such as spring water are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in areas where the quality of mains water is questionable or is simply unpalatable.
  • a typical dispenser unit for spring water currently in widespread use comprises a refrigerated sump on which a large transparent plastic bottle is mounted.
  • Mounting the bottle on the unit generally involves removing the seal from the bottle, and lifting the bottle to approximately waist height while inverting the bottle whereupon the inverted bottle is mounted on the unit with the neck of the bottle extending into the sump.
  • the bottles are heavy, being generally approximately 18 kilograms, and cumbersome.
  • the requirement to lift the bottle to at least waist height whilst inverting it is potentially injurious as it places particular strain on the back and arms.
  • occupational health and safety guidelines specify a maximum weight limit of 16 kilograms which can be safely lifted by females, leading to a potentially unsafe situation in instances where females are required to replace the bottles on the dispenser.
  • the only part of the unit refrigerated is the sump, which contains only a relatively small volume of water at a given time.
  • the water bottles are stored at room temperature, significant volumes of chilled water are not continuously available. This can be particularly disadvantageous in warm climates or in periods of hot weather when large volumes of chilled beverage are required for refreshment.
  • the size and shape of the bottles is such that they cannot be stacked with any safety and hence a significant amount of storage space is required, as the bottles are normally delivered in bulk rather than on an individual basis.

  • the present invention has the advantage that bladders may be easily inserted into and replaced in dispenser units according to the present invention. Furthermore, dispenser units according to the present invention are able to dispense beverages in the hygienic manner not previously obtainable with dispensers of the present art. Moreover the filled bladders may be stored in boxes which can be more conveniently stacked than the prior art bottles.
  • a particularly preferred form of holding member 50 is shown for use in the housing 49. It forms an aperture 48 with the arcuate wall of the housing 73 to hold the outlet means 79.
  • the holding member 50 is formed from a transparent moldable plastic material in order that a user may be able to look through the holding member into the housing to determine the state of fill of the bladder contained therein.
  • the holding member is formed with a flat elongate body portion 51.
  • the lower portion of the holding member is formed with an arcuate recess 52 which is adapted to fit part of the way around the tubular spout 80 of the outlet means in the matter illustrated best in
  • a curved lip 53 is provided at the top of the holding member to give a user purchase on the holding member.
  • the guide channels are formed on either side of the elongate aperture
  • Integral resilient legs 58 extend from the upper part of both sides of the holding member, the legs being formed with a ramped extension 59.
  • Each resilient leg with ramped extension is arranged to abut against a ledge 57 provided in the guide channels in order to hold the holding member in the elevated position shown on the left hand side of the Figure 6. This facilitates insertion of the dispenser into the aperture 48 after which the holding member 50 may be pushed downward to lock the dispenser in place when the holding means reaches the position shown on the right side of the drawing shown in Figure 6.
  • the ledge 57 and the bottom of the ramped extension 59 are angled so that the ramped extension will be pushed inwardly when sufficient downward pressure is applied to the top of the holding member thereby allowing the holding member to slide past the ledge 57.
  • the holding member also includes two integral resilient elements 60. These are also in the form of legs each being provided with a catch member 61 which is adapted to catch under the abutment 66 provided in the guide channel. This construction limits the upward travel of the holding member in the guide channel and thus prevents it becoming separated irom the channels. Integral fins 65 extending along the length of each of the vertical sides of the holding member are also provided to assist with tracking of the holding member in the guide channels provided on either side.
  • the outlet means 79 which includes the tubular spout 80 and a deformable spigot 90 snap fitted on the end thereof is held securely in the aperture of the housing. This is by virtue of the fact that the holding member fits into a channel formed between the two annular reinforcing ribs 82 and 83 formed on the tubular spout. Similarly, the arcuate housing wall also fits into the same channel.
  • An annular flange 81 is provided on the end of the tubular spout and provides a surface whereby the spout may be heat sealed or welded to a bladder (not shown).
  • the walls of the housing may be hollow to accommodate filling with insulation 72 and also to reduce weight.
  • the dispenser is operated simply by manipulation of the toggle 91 provided on the spigot to dispense content from the bladder held in the housing.
