DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART
This invention is primarily related to a device for suspending bag-like containers adapted for flowing substances on a carrier. Flowing food substances are primarily intended, such as mustard, ketchup, dressings, etcetera, within the restaurant and fast food business, cream, butter cream, jellies and the like within the bakery art etcetera. The term "flowing" includes, of course, such substances which are liquid but also such substances which occur in the form of a powder, granulate or similar.
Advantages are associated to provision of the substances in question in containers of the kind which decrease their volume in the same pace as the substance is discharged from the container. This does not require any air communicating connection between the interior of the bag and the ambient atmosphere and, accordingly, it is avoided that the substance in the container is exposed to contact with ambient air. This means that the food substance may remain in the container for a very long time without being degraded. It is in this connection preferred that the container has the character of a flexible bag, which with exception of one single discharge opening is entirely closed relative to the surroundings.
The present invention deals primarily with providing possibilities to efficiently suspend this type of bag-like containers, the suspension technique being such that the container may obtain a rather uncomplicated design at the same time as the suspension should be such that discharge of the substance from the container is not affected negatively.
According to a secondary aspect of the invention, a device for dispensing flowing substances is provided, said device comprising a container, a valve arrangement and a conduit extending therebetween, in such a way that the conduit in a simple, rational and tight manner may be brought into communication with the interior of the container.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the first aspect of the invention, the object posed is fulfilled by the device comprising a carrying member adapted to carryingly engage with an upper edge portion of the container in such a manner that the carrying forces are applied relatively evenly distributed along this upper edge portion of the container and by the container comprising means for supporting the carrying member. In this way it is achieved that the bag-like container will be suspended in a controlled manner, without the container being, at least locally, deformed and possibly destructed, which could be the case when a point like suspension technique by means of hooks or the like were applied.
According to the second aspect of the invention the object posed is achieved by the conduit comprising, at its end intended for connection to the container, a cutting member adapted to cut through a closure arranged on the container and by a sleeve attachable to the container comprising at least one internal and annular sealing member adapted to seal against the exterior of a tubular portion, which extends through the sleeve, and at one end of which the cutting member is arranged. In this way an easily producable and tight coupling of the conduit and the container is obtained in such a manner that the content of the container to a minimum or no extent will enter into communication with the ambient air.
Further preferable features and advantages of the invention appear from the independent claims and from the following description.
