A keg gasket for a beverage-containing keg includes a round basic body composed of an elastomeric material, a recess reaching through the basic body, and an upper plate region and a web region extending downwardly therefrom in an installed position. A colored marking with a defined geometrical shape is applied to an upper side of the plate region, and the geometrical shape is an at least partially encircling ring.

A closing unit associable with a keg type container suitable to contain a beverage, and consisting of two cooperating coaxial containers, wherein the external container has anchoring means, or a threaded portion, comprising a valve assembly and a closing device, which can be stably anchored to the threaded portion and configured to reciprocally position with respect to each other the valve assembly and the containers.

A valve assembly for a beverages container with two components, of which one external container and one internal container, closed at the upper part by a closing device, comprises a valve body made in a single body and a spring device, wherein a mobile sealing unit is present between the valve body and the spring device, configured to selectively open and close a passage aperture of the valve assembly.

The invention relates to a tap head (1) for connecting to a keg (9), in particular for a bar system, the tap head (1) having a tap head body (3), and a pressurization-gas supply line (7) and a beverage removal line (6) being formed in the tap head body (3), such that a 3/2-way valve (2) is formed directly on or in the tap head body (3) in the pressurization-gas supply line (7), which 3/2-way valve connects either the pressurization-gas supply line (7) from a gas source to the interior of the keg (11) or connects, in a gas-conducting manner, the interior of the keg (11) to the environment (U).

A closure (1) for a beverage keg (90) is provided, comprising a valve housing (20) and a valve element (30), which is movable with respect to the valve housing (20) inwardly into an open state and outwardly into a closed state. A locking system comprises a locking element (50) that is movable with respect to the valve housing (20) and is capable of holding the valve element (30) in the open state. The locking element (50) comprises a body portion (51) located inside the valve housing (20) and a leg (56) that extends outwardly from the body portion (51) to the exterior of the valve housing (20). The leg (56) comprises an engagement element (57) that is configured to engage a stop formation fixed with respect to the valve housing (20) in order to limit the maximum extent of movement of the locking element (50) in an upward direction relative to the valve housing (20) after beverage has been dispensed from the keg (90).

A closure (1) for a beverage keg (90) is provided, the closure (1) comprising an inlet for admitting a pressurised gas into a headspace of the beverage keg (90) and a valve housing (20) defining at least a portion of the closure (1). The valve housing (20) has a housing wall (21) that defines at least a portion of the valve housing (20). The closure (1) is provided with a barrier (29), separate from the inlet, that is integrally formed with the housing wall (21) and configured to seal the closure (1) such that the closure (1) is able to retain the pressurised gas within the keg (90) in an unvented configuration. The barrier thickness is configured such that the barrier (29) ruptures by internal pressure from within the keg (90) in order to switch the closure (1) into a vented configuration in which fluid communication between the headspace of the keg (90) and an exterior of the closure (1) is possible, through the ruptured barrier (29).

The present invention provides a beverage preservation keg with an adjustable beer tap, including a shell, an inner container, and a gas-liquid control device; the inner container includes an upper gas storage chamber and a lower beer storage chamber; the gas-liquid control device includes a keg spear, a dispenser and a beer discharge pipe; the keg spear matches and communicates with the gas storage chamber and the beer storage chamber, and the top end of the keg spear matches and is connected to the dispenser; the dispenser is connected to the matching beer discharge pipe. The present invention has the function of adjusting the beer flow rate, and the keg spear is provided with a pressure relief valve, which eliminates the need for a gas tube and a separate pressure relief valve to connect the keg spear to the gas storage chamber in series.

The present invention discloses a beer spear with a pressure relief valve, which comprises a beer spear seat, a pressure relief valve, an inner tube fixing sleeve, an inner tube fixing spring and an inner tube assembly; the pressure relief valve is arranged on the outer side of the beer spear seat and the pressure inlet of the pressure relief valve communicates with a gas storage chamber; a head movable hole matching the head of a dispenser is opened at the top of the beer spear seat. The present invention is more convenient to assemble and disassemble a draft beer keg, and also the space for the draft beer keg is saved and the problems such as gas leakage and draft beer spoiling caused by damages of the gas tube are avoided.

A dispenser with an alcohol throttle valve includes a dispenser base, a head, an operation control device and a throttle valve. The dispenser base has a head socket hole formed at the middle of the dispenser base and matched with and movably connected to the head. The operation control device is matched with and connected to the dispenser base and the head. The head controls its head movement in the head socket hole of the dispenser base by the operation control device. The throttle valve is matched with and installed in the head and can adjust the liquid flow in the head. The alcohol output can be controlled by adjusting the liquid flow passing through the throttle valve, so that the dispenser has the function of controlling the alcohol output flow.

A device for providing a disposable liner or bag and valve inside of a keg. An example device includes a valve assembly connected to a spear assembly. The disposable liner or bag is wrapped around the spear assembly to fit through a top opening in the keg and the valve assembly is connected to the top opening of the keg. A series of valves and passages enable an inert gas to flow into and expand or inflate the disposable liner or bag inside of the keg, and the valve then enables filling the disposable liner or bag inside of the keg with beer or other liquid to be dispensed from the keg. When the keg is empty, the spear assembly may be disconnected and withdrawn, thus removing both the disposable liner or bag and disposable valve assembly from the keg.
