Abstract

valve (10) for a carbonation gas canister and a canister including a valve (10) that is configured to hold the gas in the canister when closed, and to provide a fluidic connection between the canister and the carbonation machine, or a source of the gas, when opened. The valve (10) comprises a body that with a canister port oriented along a longitudinal axis of the valve (10) and the valve is characterised in that inflow to and outflow from the canister is through at least one exterior port (16) that opens laterally to the longitudinal axis of the valve (10). The valve has an annular groove about the valve body into which the exterior port opens. When the valve is inserted into a socket of a holder of a carbonation machine the exterior port can be oriented in any radial orientation within a sealed full or partial annular bore in the socket. When the valve is operated by an actuator applying pressure on a top of the valve (26a), outside the sealed annular bore, the pressurized or liquified gas is released from the gas canister into a carbonation head of the carbonation machine to carbonate a liquid.

Claims (19)

1. A canister (46) for connection to a carbonation machine, the canister (46) configured to hold a pressurized or liquefied gas for enabling the machine to carbonate a liquid, the canister comprising a valve (10) that is configured to hold the gas in the canister (46) when closed, and to provide a fluidic connection between the canister (46) and the carbonation machine or a source of the gas when opened, the valve comprising a body that includes at one end a canister port (14) oriented along a longitudinal axis of the valve (10), the canister (46) characterised in that inflow to and outflow from the canister (46) of the pressurized or liquified gas is via at least one exterior port (16) of the valve that opens laterally to the longitudinal axis of the valve (10), and in that the valve further comprises an annular groove about the body into which said at least one exterior port opens, so that when the valve is inserted into a socket of a holder of the carbonation machine with said at least one exterior port oriented in any radial orientation within a sealed full or partial annular bore surrounding the valve within the socket and when the valve is operated by an actuator applying pressure on an exterior surface of a plunger on top of the valve outside the sealed annular bore, the pressurized or liquified gas is released from the gas canister into a carbonation head of the carbonation machine to carbonate a liquid.
2. The canister (46) of claim 1, wherein the valve (10) comprises a poppet (18) that is slidable along the longitudinal axis and which, when in an open position, allows fluidic communication between the at least one exterior port (16) and the canister port (14) to enable inflow to the canister (46) via said at least one exterior port (16) or outflow from the canister (46) via said at least one exterior port (16), and which, when in a closed position that is more distal to the canister port (14) than the open position, prevents fluid communication between the at least one exterior port (16) and the canister port (14).
3. The canister (46) of claim 2, wherein the valve (10) comprises a resilient restoring structure (20) configured to apply a restoring force to the poppet (18) to maintain the poppet (18) at the closed position.
4. The canister (46) of claim 3, wherein the valve (10) comprises a plunger (26) with an exterior surface (26a) that is exposed to the exterior of a body (12) of the valve (10) and configured, when an inward pushing force that overcomes the restoring force is applied to the plunger (26), to slide the poppet (18) from the closed position to the open position.
5. The canister (46) of claim 4, wherein the valve (10) comprises a gasket (28) configured to fluidically isolate the exterior surface of the plunger (26a) from being a path of fluidic flow between the at least one exterior port (16) and the canister port (14).
6. The canister (46) of claim 5, wherein a cross section of the gasket (28) is U-shaped, an opening of the gasket (28) being oriented toward the canister (46).
7. The canister (46) of claim 1, wherein the at least one exterior port (16) is oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
8. The canister (46) of any of claims 1-77 comprising at least two exterior ports (16) that open laterally to the longitudinal axis of the valve (10).
9. The canister (46) of claim 8, wherein the at least two exterior ports (16) are substantially equally spaced about the longitudinal axis of the valve (10).
10. The gas canister of claim 1, further provided with a lateral projection to be held within the holder by a holding mechanism.
11. A valve (10) for closing and opening a gas canister (46), the valve (10) being configured to hold a pressurized or liquefied gas in the canister (46) when closed, and to provide a fluidic connection to the canister (46) when opened, the valve (10) comprising: a body (12) that includes at one end a canister port (14) oriented along a longitudinal axis of the valve (10), characterized in that inflow to and outflow from the canister (46) of the pressurized or liquified gas is via at least one exterior port (16) of the valve (10) that opens laterally to the longitudinal axis of the valve (10), and in that the valve further comprises an annular groove about the body into which said at least one exterior port opens, so that when the valve is inserted into a socket of a holder of a carbonation machine with said at least one exterior port oriented in any radial orientation within a sealed full or partial annular bore surrounding the valve within the socket and when the valve is operated by an actuator applying pressure on an exterior surface of a plunger on top of the valve outside the sealed annular bore, the pressurized or liquified gas is released from the gas canister into a carbonation head of the carbonation machine to carbonate a liquid.
12. The valve (10) of claim 11 comprising a poppet (18) that is slidable along the longitudinal axis and which, when in an open position, allows fluidic communication between the at least one exterior port (16) and the canister port (14) to enable inflow to the canister (46) via said at least one exterior port (16) or outflow from the canister (46) via said at least one exterior port (16), and which, when in a closed position that is more distal to the canister port (14) than the open position, prevents fluid communication between the at least one exterior port (16) and the canister port (14).
13. The valve (10) of claim 12 comprising a resilient restoring structure (20) configured to apply a restoring force to the poppet (18) to maintain the poppet (18) at the closed position.
14. The valve (10) of claim 13 comprising a plunger (26) with an exterior surface (26a) that is exposed to the exterior of the body (12) and configured, when an inward pushing force that overcomes the restoring force is applied to the plunger (26), to slide the poppet (18) from the closed position to the open position.
15. The valve (10) of claim 14 comprising a gasket (28) configured to fluidically isolate the exterior surface (26a) of the plunger (26) from being a path of fluidic flow between the at least one exterior port (16) and the canister port (14).
16. The valve (10) of claim 15, wherein a cross section of the gasket (28) is U-shaped, an opening of the gasket (28) being oriented toward the canister (46).
17. The valve (10) of any of claims 11–16 comprising at least two exterior ports (16) that open laterally to the longitudinal axis of the valve (10).
18. The valve (10) of claim 17, wherein the at least two exterior ports (16) are substantially equally spaced about the longitudinal axis of the valve (10).
19. The valve of claim 11, further provided with a lateral projection to be held within the holder by a holding mechanism.
