Claims
- 1. In a filling valve for a counterpressure filling machine for filling containers, such as bottles, cans and the like, comprising a filling valve body including a filling channel, a centering tulip for positioning a container below the filling channel in sealed connection therewith, second channels in said valve body coacting with said filling channel for at least one of evacuating, pressurizing and relieving a container located in said centering tulip, and auxiliary valves located within said second channels, wherein the improvement comprises each said auxiliary valve includes an axially elongated control bolt located in said filling valve body for opening one of said second channels, said control bolt having a first end located within said filling valve body and a second end located on the outside of said filling valve body, a cam plate located opposite the second end of said control bolt outside of said filling valve body and selectively engageable by the second end of said control bolt, and means associated with said centering tulip for cooperating with said control bolt and said cam plate when a container is present in the centering tulip for properly axially displacing said control bolt and opening the respective said second channel by axial displacement of said second end of said control bolt by said cam plate.
- 2. Filling valve as set forth in claim 1, wherein said cam plate and the second end of said control bolt are spaced apart, said means associated with said centering tulip comprises an auxiliary control segment pivotally supported at said centering tulip and displaceable into the space between said cam plate and the second end of said control bolt for operating said control bolt.
- 3. In a filling valve, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said control bolt comprises a first section for opening one of said second channels and a second section forming the second end of said control bolt and spaced in the axial direction of said control bolt from said first section, means selectively positionable between said first and second sections of said control bolt for effecting the opening of the one of said second channels, and said means associated with said centering tulip being engageable with said means selectively positionable between said first and second sections of said control bolt for opening said second channel.
- 4. In a filling valve for a counterpressure filling machine for filling containers, such as bottles, cans and the like, comprising a filling valve body including a filling channel, a centering tulip for positioning a container below the filling channel in sealed connection therewith, second channels in said valve body coacting with said filling channel for at least one of evacuating, pressurizing and relieving a container located in said centering tulip, and auxiliary valves located within said second channels, wherein the improvement comprises each said auxiliary valve includes an axially elongated control bolt located in said filling valve body for opening one of said second channels, said control bolt having a first end located within said filling valve body and a second end located on the outside of said filling valve body, a cam plate located opposite the second end of said control bolt outside of said filling valve body, and means associated with said centering tulip for cooperating with said control bolt and said cam plate when a container is present in the centering tulip for properly displacing said control bolt and opening the respective said second channel, said control bolt comprises a first section for opening one of said second channels and a second section forming the second end of said control bolt and spaced in the axial direction of said control bolt from said first section, means selectively positionable between said first and second sections of said control bolt for effecting the opening of the one of said second channels, and said means associated with said centering tulip being engageable with said means selectively positionable between said first and second sections of said control bolt for opening said second channel, said means selectively positionable between said control bolt sections comprises a spherical member, and said means associated with said centering tulip comprises a bolt engageable with said spherical member and arranged to position said spherical member between the first and second sections of said control bolt when said centering tulip positions a container below the filling channel in sealed connection therewith.
