Patent ID: 8668121

Claim:
A filling device, comprising: a reservoir intended to contain liquid; a valve connected to the reservoir and a spout, in which the valve has a shutter and a shutter seat; a flow circuit having a liquid inlet adjacent to the shutter seat and a liquid outlet adjacent to the spout, said liquid outlet being located lower than said liquid inlet; and an air intake circuit separate from said flow circuit and having an air outlet adjacent to said shutter seat and an air inlet located at a height between said liquid inlet and said liquid outlet, in which a pushrod has an upper end adjacent to said shutter, said pushrod being able to move between a first position, in which the pushrod allows the shutter to engage with the shutter seat, and a second position, in which the pushrod moves said shutter away from the shutter seat, and a sleeve surrounds said pushrod, said air inlet circuit including a free space located next to the pushrod in the sleeve, wherein said pushrod is distinct from said shutter and comprises a first duct and a second duct, said air inlet circuit including said first duct, said flow circuit including said second duct, said flow circuit including a flow tube which connects said second duct to the spout, and said first and second ducts open out adjacent to the shutter in such a manner that, in the first position of said pushrod, the first and second ducts do not enable air to enter into the reservoir and liquid to flow out from the reservoir and, in the second position, first and second ducts simultaneously enable air to enter into the reservoir and liquid to flow out from the reservoir directly from said first position.
