DISPENSING VALVE AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a dispensing valve (1) adapted to allow dispensing of a product (2), preferably a food product, for example a beverage, from a container (3) which is preferably closed and has the ability to collapse when product is dispensed therefrom. The dispensing valve has an elastic membrane (7) with one or more valves (1a), which is/are closed when the membrane (7) assumes an initial position (A), and is/are open when the membrane assumes a stretched position (B) to allow dispensing of the product out of the container. When the membrane assumes its initial position (A), the valve (1a) or valves have contact with at least one support member (15), which prevents the valve (1a) or valves from opening, whereby air is prevented from passing through the valve (1a) or valves to product (2) present in said valve or valves.

主权项

1. A dispensing valve adapted to allow dispensing of a product, preferably a food product, for example a beverage, from a container which is preferably closed and preferably has the ability to collapse when product is dispensed therefrom, wherein the dispensing valve has an elastic membrane with one or more valves, which is/are closed when the membrane assumes an initial position, and openable when the membrane assumes a stretched position to allow dispensing of product from the container, the valve or valves having contact with at least one support member when the membrane assumes its initial position, such that the support member prevents the valve or valves from opening, whereby air is prevented from passing through the valve or valves to product present in said valve or valves, wherein
the support member is designed at least partially as a tubular member with an end wall against which the membrane can abut, and in that the tubular member allows through-flow of product between the container and the dispensing valve.
