Abstract

A filling element for counterpressure container-filling machines. The filling element includes: a filling tube, open at the bottom, for the liquid to be bottled; a liquid valve, arranged ahead of the inlet into the filling tube, which includes an axially displaceable valve body and a filling valve outlet chamber which leads to an inlet in a filling tube; a connecting passage extending from the front surface of the body of the filling element closing the opening of a container pressed on for filling, to the interior of the filling tube, especially the inlet region thereof; and a control valve for opening and closing the connecting passage. The control valve is capable of being actuated in common with the liquid valve in such a manner that, with the liquid valve open, it is closed in the connecting passage, and is open when the liquid valve is closed. The connecting passage, at its end facing the inlet into the filling tube, opens into the filling valve outlet chamber at its peripheral surface by means of a slide-over opening. The connecting passage cooperates with a valve body as a control valve, which is axially slidably guided on the circumferential surface of the filling valve outlet chamber and is secured to the valve body of the liquid valve.
