Remote pressure system for portable whipped cream dispensers

Abstract

A whipped cream dispenser arrangement comprising a portable, hand-held whipped cream dispenser-canister for holding a quantity of cream to be dispensed as whipped cream. The dispenser has a male fitting on the canister with a central bore there-through. The bore encloses a cartridge piercing pin therein, as part of its prior art use. A replacement adapter cap is arranged in fluid communication with a spaced-apart tank of pressurized gas, and the dispenser has a nozzle having a valve therewith for dispensing whipped cream when pressurized gas is introduced through the adapter cap from a large, spaced-apart pressurized gas tank, and into the canister.

1 - 7 . (canceled)  
   
   
       8 . A method to permit the continuous dispensing pressurized whipped cream from a triggered nozzle valve of a whipped cream dispenser, said dispenser having a cartridge of pressurized gas threadedly enclosed within a male fitting and pierced by a piercing pin in said male member on said canister wherein said cartridge has previously been used to provide gas pressure to said canister, said method comprising the steps of: 
 removing a prior art cartridge holder from said male member on said pressurized whipped cream dispenser;    removing said cartridge from said piercing member in said male fitting on said canister;    introducing a volume of cream into said canister of said whipped cream dispenser,    threading a miniature replacement adapter cap onto said male member,    attaching a master fitting though a proximal end of said replacement adapter cap;    attaching a flexible fluid supply hose to said master fitting on said replacement adapter cap, said fluid supply hose having a stationary pressurized gas supply tank in fluid communication therewith; and    squeezing said trigger nozzle valve to permit the pressurized release a discharge of said now pressurized cream and pressurized gas from within said whipped cream canister to thus permit said existing whipped cream dispenser with a cartridge holder and a cartridge piercing pin to be utilized without a cartridge, yet be in communication with a large stationary supply of whipped cream pressurizing gas.    
   
   
       9 . The method as recited in  claim 8 , including the step: 
 attaching a coupler on a distal end of said flexible fluid supply hose to permit said gas supply tank to be readily attached and removed with respect to said adapter cap on said male member.    
   
   
       10 . The method as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said coupler on said flexible fluid supply hose has a quick release check valve member thereon to permit quick attachment and leak-proof removal of said flexible fluid supply hose from said replacement adapter cap on said male member on said canister.  
   
   
       11 . A portable, valved, pressurizable whipped cream dispenser arrangement for permitting a continuous dispensing of pressurized whipped cream therefrom, said dispenser arrangement comprising: 
 a portable, hand-held pressurized whipped cream dispenser-canister for holding a quantity of cream to be pressurizably dispensed as whipped cream;    a male fitting on said canister having a central bore there-through, said male fitting enclosing a cartridge piercing pin;    a miniature replacement adapter cap arranged on said male fitting and in fluid communication with a spaced-apart tank of pressurized gas via an elongated flexible hose; and    a pressurized fluid releasing nozzle on said canister, said nozzle having a release valve therewith for dispensing pressurized whipped cream when pressurized gas is introduced through said adapter cap and into said pressurized whipped cream canister.    
   
   
       12 . The pressurizable whipped cream dispenser arrangement as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said replacement adapter cap has a hollow master fitting extending through a proximal end thereof to permit easy attachment of said elongated flexible hose thereto.  
   
   
       13 . The pressurizable whipped cream dispenser as recited in  claim 12 , including a pressure regulating valve to control the pressure of fluid entering said canister.  
   
   
       14 . The pressurizable whipped cream dispensed arrangement as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said hose has a distal end with a snap-on quick release coupler member thereon to permit fast and simple attachment and leak-proof removal of said flexible hose from said master fitting, so as to provide continuous flow of pressurized whipped cream from said pressurized whip cream dispenser when said release valve in said nozzle is opened.
