연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A beverage dispensing flow control device according to one example includes a body portion, an actuation lever and a sealing gasket. A sealing gasket is securable over the bottom surface of the body and has a bottom surface with a beverage flow aperture and a vent aperture. The apertures are configured to define a maximum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the body portion such that the beverage flow aperture does not block the flow aperture of the body portion, and a minimum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the body portion such that the beverage flow aperture blocks at least the majority of the body's flow aperture while leaving at least a portion of the vent channel unblocked. A plunger is in operable communication with the actuation lever to selectively seal the bottom surface of the gasket.

1. A liquid beverage dispenser comprising: a receptacle having a hollow interior space and an open top to access the interior space; anda dispensing lid assembly comprising a lid body upper portion;a lid body lower portion connected to the lid body upper portion, the lid body lower portion defining a flow aperture in a bottom surface thereof and a vent channel in a portion thereof;an actuation lever extending outwardly from the connected upper portion and lower portion;a sealing gasket disposed on a bottom portion of the lid body lower portion, the sealing gasket comprising a generally planar bottom surface and a circular wall extending upwardly therefrom, the bottom surface including a beverage flow aperture and a vent aperture defined therein, the beverage flow aperture and the vent aperture configured to define a maximum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the lid body lower portion such that the beverage flow aperture of the gasket does not block the flow aperture of the lid body lower portion and to define a minimum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the lid body lower portion such that the beverage flow aperture of the gasket blocks at least the majority of the flow aperture of the lid body lower portion while leaving at least a portion of the vent channel unblocked; anda movable plunger in operable communication with the actuation lever, the plunger including a sealing disk contacting the bottom surface of the gasket when the plunger is in a retracted state to form a fluid tight seal such that the beverage flow aperture and the vent aperture are blocked. 2. The liquid beverage dispenser of claim 1, wherein the sealing gasket further includes an exterior flange extending outwardly from the sidewall such that the flange contacts the an inside surface of the open top of the receptacle to form a fluid-tight seal between by the lid assembly and the receptacle. 3. The liquid beverage dispenser of claim 1, wherein the sealing gasket includes flow rate indicator defined on an outside surface of the side wall and wherein a flow rate marking is disposed on an outside surface of the lid body lower portion. 4. The liquid beverage dispenser of claim 3, wherein the flow rate marking is a gauge indicating both a maximum flow alignment position and a minimum flow alignment position. 5. The liquid beverage dispenser of claim 1, wherein the plunger includes a top cam surface and the lever includes a lower projection configured to contact the plunger top cam surface when the plunger is pressed by a user. 6. The liquid beverage dispenser of claim 5, wherein the plunger further includes a plurality of resilient fingers extending upwards into the lid body lower portion to retain the plunger in a sealed position against the bottom surface of the sealing gasket unless the lower projection of the lever contacts the plunger top cam surface to retract the plunger away from the sealed position. 7. The liquid beverage dispenser of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of quarter turn threads projecting outwardly of the lid body lower portion. 8. A method of dispensing beverages from a beverage dispenser, the method comprising: disposing a sealing gasket on a lower portion of a lid assembly body while rotationally aligning an indicator on the gasket with a flow rate marking on the lid assembly body, the alignment step blocking none of a beverage dispensing passage in the lid assembly body with a gasket bottom surface in a maximum flow state and the alignment step blocking a majority of a beverage dispensing passage in the lid assembly body with the gasket bottom surface in a minimum flow state; andcontacting a sealing disk of a plunger against a bottom surface of the sealing gasket when the plunger is in a retracted state to block all beverage flow through the beverage dispensing passage. 9. The method of claim 8, further including securing the gasket to the lid assembly body so that it does not rotate with respect to the lid assembly body when disposed thereon. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of disposing the gasket includes rotationally aligning the gasket with the lid assembly body in an intermediate position between the maximum flow state and the minimum flow state. 11. The method of claim 8, further comprising forming a seal between the lid assembly and an open top of the beverage dispenser by contacting an inside surface of the open top with an exterior flange extending outwardly from a sidewall of the gasket. 12. The method of claim 8, further comprising pressing downward on a dispensing lever to retract the sealing disk from contacting the gasket bottom surface. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising pushing downward on the dispensing lever to move the sealing disk away from contacting the gasket bottom surface. 14. A beverage dispensing flow control device, comprising: a body portion including an outer sidewall surface and a bottom surface, a flow aperture defined in the bottom surface and a vent channel defined therethrough and in communication with the bottom surface and the outer sidewall surface;an actuation lever extending outwardly from the body portion;a sealing gasket securable over the bottom surface of the body portion, the sealing gasket comprising a generally planar bottom surface and a circular wall extending upwardly therefrom, the circular wall configured to contact the outer sidewall surface of the body portion, the bottom surface including a beverage flow aperture and a vent aperture defined therein, the beverage flow aperture and the vent aperture configured to define a maximum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the body portion such that the beverage flow aperture of the gasket does not block the flow aperture of the body portion and to define a minimum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the body portion such that the beverage flow aperture of the gasket blocks at least the majority of the flow aperture of the body portion while leaving at least a portion of the vent channel unblocked where it communicates with the bottom surface of the body portion; anda movable plunger in operable communication with the actuation lever, the plunger including a sealing disk portion disposed opposite the top cam surface, the sealing disk selectively contacting the bottom surface of the gasket to form a fluid tight seal such that the beverage flow aperture and the vent aperture are blocked. 15. The beverage dispensing flow control device of claim 14, wherein the sealing gasket further includes an exterior flange extending outwardly from the sidewall. 16. The beverage dispensing flow control device of claim 14, wherein the sealing gasket includes flow rate indicator defined on an outside surface of the side wall and wherein a flow rate marking is disposed on the outer sidewall surface of the body portion, the flow rate marking indicating both a maximum flow alignment position and a minimum flow alignment position. 17. The beverage dispensing flow control device of claim 14, wherein the plunger includes a top cam surface and the lever includes a lower projection configured to contact the plunger top cam surface when the plunger lever is pressed by a user.
