Abstract:
A polymeric keg connector for fluidly connecting the interior of a container has an opening with a fluid tube. The keg connector has a connector, a coupler, a support movable in a longitudinal direction Z with respect to the base body, a tube, and a penetration actuator. The distance the support is moved is sufficient for the tube penetration end to penetrate into the opening provided on a closure of the container. The sliding surfaces of the connector and the support are manufactured with a particulate-reinforced polymeric material and the polymeric material of the connector is reinforced by a particulate material that can be different from the particulate material reinforcing the support element.

Claim (Index 1):
A polymeric keg connector for fluidly connecting the interior of a container comprising an opening with a fluid tube, the keg connector comprising:\n (a) a connector base body; (b) coupling means for firmly and releasably coupling the connector base body to the opening of the container; (c) a support element movable in a longitudinal direction Z with respect to the base body, by sliding one sliding surface of the support element against one sliding surface of the main base body, said support element rigidly supporting: (d) a tube comprising a penetration end portion parallel to the longitudinal axis, Z, and suitable for penetrating into said opening; (e) penetration actuation means for reversibly moving by a given distance along the longitudinal axis, Z, the support element and tube, upon movement of the support element when the base body is coupled to said opening, from a first retracted position, Z 0 , to a second connected position, Z 2 , wherein said distance is sufficient for the said tube penetration end to penetrate into said opening provided on a closure of said container, characterized in that, the sliding surfaces of both said connector base body and said support element are manufactured in a particulate reinforced polymeric material and in that the polymeric material of the connector base body is reinforced by a particulate material that is different than the particulate material reinforcing the support element.
