Abstract (en)
[origin: US6223955B1] The invention relates to a tapping head with a cylinder cavity in which a plunger is arranged. The plunger is capable of moving up and down and is biased or loadable by a coil spring. The tapping head consists of a barrel connection housing connected with the cylinder cavity of the tapping head housing, a rising tube extending through the housing and the plunger and forming a channel for the beverage. The tapping head also has a slidingly arranged, sleeve-like tappet connected to the plunger and a connection for cleaning liquid. The connection for the cleaning liquid feeds into the tapping head housing in an annular gap between the rising tube and a tube surrounding the rising tube, and is connected there with the rising tube (rinsing position) or sealed by a seal (tapping position) depending on the position of the tappet. A transversely extending gas line is arranged in the plunger. In the lower tapping position of the plunger, the gas line connects via a feed line an annular gap extending around the surrounding tube and reaches into the barrel. A vacuum valve arranged in the housing has an inlet side connected to the cylinder cavity via a high-pressure line. The feed of water, gas and beverage takes place via one single system hose having conduits incorporated therein, and the hose is connectable to a system connection located on a side surface of the tapping head housing.
