The invention concerns a liquid dispensing tap, essentially consisting of a body (1) for being mounted in the bung of a container and for dispensing liquid, a valve or a membrane (2) for sealing an orifice (3) dispensing the liquid, provided with a control member (4) and made in a single-piece with said control member (4) and with means (6) for sealed pressing of said valve (2) or membrane sealing the liquid dispensing orifice (3) on its seat, said valve being housed in the part of the body (1) opposite to the part designed to be mounted in the bung, and means for actuating said control member (4). Said tap is characterized in that the means (6) for sealed pressing of the valve (2) or membrane sealing the liquid dispensing orifice (3) on its seat consists of an elastically deformable element forming a spring and linked to the valve or membrane (2) sealing the liquid dispensing orifice (3) and to the control member (4) via a common guide element (7) and to a fixing flange (8) co-operating with pins (9) fixing and centering the body (1). The invention is more particularly applicable in the manufacture of taps for dispensing liquids contained in small rigid, semirigid or flexible containers, in particular food liquids.
La présente invention concerne un robinet de distribution de liquides,
essentiellement constitué par un corps (1) de montage dans la bonde d'un
récipient et de distribution du liquide, par un clapet ou une membrane (2)
d'obturation étanche d'un orifice (3) de distribution du liquide, muni d'un
organe de commande (4) et réalisé sous forme d'un élément monobloc avec ledit
organe de commande (4) et avec un moyen (6) d'application étanche dudit clapet
(2) ou membrane d'obturation étanche de l'orifice (3) de distribution du
liquide sur son siège, cedit clapet étant logé dans la partie du corps (1)
opposée à celle de montage dans la bonde, et par un moyen (5) d'actionnement
dudit organe de commande (4). Robinet caractérisé en ce que le moyen (6)
d'application étanche du clapet (2) ou membrane d'obturation étanche de
l'orifice (3) de distribution du liquide sur son siège est constitué par un
élément élastiquement déformable formant ressort et relié, d'une part, au
clapet ou membrane (2) d'obturation étanche de l'orifice (3) de distribution
du liquide et à l'organe de commande (4) par l'intermédiaire d'un élément de
guidage commun (7) et, d'autre part, à une bride de fixation (8) coopérant
avec des plots de fixation et de centrage (9) du corps (1). L'invention est
plus particulièrement applicable dans le domaine de la fabrication de robinets
de distribution de liquides contenus dans des petits récipients rigides, semi-
rigides ou souples, en particulier de liquides alimentaires.
