Abstract
A filling machine assembly (20) for filling a beverage container (24), such as a bottle or can, with a liquid beverage, such as beer or soft drinks. The filling machine (20) includes a support housing (40) having an inner fluid chamber (46) for supplying the liquid to be discharged into the container (24). A valve housing (48) is mounted to the bottom (16) of the support housing (40) for controlling the discharge of the liquid and a control device (52) is disposed adjacent to the top (14) of the support housing (40). A vent tube (54) is actuated upward and downward via the control device (52) and extends into the valve housing (48). The filling machine (20) is characterized by the control device (52) including at least one magnet (66) moveable between a first position and a second position for moving the vent tube (54) a predetermined stroke between a filling position and a non-use position. The subject invention also incorporates the novel feature of having a support tube (60) mounted within the support housing (40) and substantially surrounding the vent tube (54) with the support tube (60) having an upper portion (76) extending above the upper surface (42) outside of the fluid chamber (46).
