Container device for distributing a drinkable liquid under pressure from a gas
First Claim
1. A container device for distributing a liquid under pressure from a gas, the container device comprising:
- a liquid container with a combined gas and liquid valve;
at least one liquified gas high pressure container joined with the liquid container to form an integral unit, said liquified gas high pressure container having a reduction valve mounted thereto to reduce a high pressure of a gas phase coming from the at least one liquified gas high pressure container to a reduced gas pressure in the liquid container; and
a coupling head detachably coupled simultaneously with both the combined gas and liquid valve and said reduction valve allowing the gas with reduced pressure from the reduction valve to pass to the liquid container via a gas passage of the combined gas and liquid valve and the liquid to be dispensed under pressure from the gas from the liquid container via a liquid passage of the combined gas and liquid valve.

Abstract
A container device is used to distribute a preferably drinkable liquid, such as beer, wine, mineral water or juice, under pressure from a gas such as CO2. The container device includes a liquid container with a combined gas and liquid valve and a coupling head which may be detachably coupled with the gas and liquid valve for dispensing liquid from the liquid container and adding gas via a reduction valve from a reservoir of liquified gas in a high pressure container. Without a noticeable increase in overall volume of the container device, the high pressure container can hold and carry a sufficient amount of gas for emptying liquid from the liquid container.
