DESCRIPTION Side cut tap for beer dispenser. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION 5 The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a side-cutting tap for beer dispenser, which provides a series of innovative structural and constitutive features, which will be described in detail below, which involve a novelty within its field of application. 10 More particularly, the object of the invention focuses on a beer dispenser tap, in particular those of the lateral cut type, which, in an innovative way, is structurally configured to incorporate selection means that allow it to be maintained secured in the different closed or atomized opening positions to facilitate the brewing of the beer and, especially, to correctly generate the foam that characterizes the way of serving said beverage. FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION twenty The scope of the present invention is part of the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of faucets or stopcocks, focusing particularly on the scope of those intended to be incorporated in bulk beverage dispensing devices, namely, dispensers of drinks that are sprayed like beer on tap. 25 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As is known, draft beer is one of the drinks whose pouring through a dispenser is of great importance to get a beer well served with the optimum foam point, which can vary from one type of beer to another. For this, it is very important the way in which the dispenser tap is opened and closed and, especially, the way in which the beer outlet is atomized, therefore, it is usually necessary for the person who performs said pouring to acquire A certain experience. At present, the known side-cut beer dispenser taps essentially comprise an orificed ball system that, through an axis associated with a handle, rotates inside a chamber that has a lateral liquid inlet , in which it penetrates from the duct of the dispenser, and a lower outlet, from which it goes out to fall into the vessel that is located below, said handle having a position of full opening, where the ball is positioned with a hole greater planned in it in coincidence with the liquid inlet giving way to the outlet, an atomized position, usually about 120 ° from the opening position, where the ball is positioned with a hole of very small dimensions or a groove, provided therein to achieve said atomization, coinciding with the inlet of liquid giving way to the exit to the liquid 10 in the form of foam, and an intermediate closing position, at about 90 ° of The opening position. The main problem of this type of taps is that the closed position of the handle does not have a specific fixed point and the person who manipulates it must intuit the appropriate position, after the opening at 120º of atomized, so that the tap is properly closed and the contents of the last remaining liquid inside can be emptied thanks to an air inlet hole provided for this purpose so that it falls by gravity. The importance of this fact is that, if the faucet lever is not correctly positioned so that it is properly closed and the valve or air inlet port acts, the aforementioned liquid will remain accumulated inside the faucet 20 causing risk of proliferation of bacteria, with the consequent possible consequences of lack of hygiene. In addition, another of the disadvantages of the described existing faucets is the fact that the ball, in the atomized position, opens the way to the liquid through a hole or slot of about 25 very specific dimensions that, in the case of being a hole, prevent being able to graduate, depending on the type of beer or liquid to be spaced, the opening of the atomization, and in the case of the slot, you have to be very skilled to control the passage opening that occurs, as it is known , for example, a lager or blonde beer is very different in composition than a black beer and consequently the foam that is also obtained. 30 It would therefore be desirable to have a faucet that can have an atomized control system and the lever positions that are easier to control and use, thus ensuring that anyone is able to properly serve a draft beer. no special skill, skill or practice is necessary. The objective of the present invention is, therefore, to develop a new type of lateral cut-off tap that achieves such benefits by incorporating a means of fixing the different positions of opening, atomization and closing of the handle, obtaining, 5 In addition, the opening of the passage in the atomization position can be adjusted. As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although, as already stated, there are different types and models of beer dispenser faucets on the market and among them some of a lateral cut such as the one concerned here, less on the part of the applicant, it is unknown the existence of any that presents technical, structural and constitutive characteristics similar to those presented here, as claimed. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION fifteen Thus, the side-cutting faucet for beer dispenser that the invention proposes is configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, since according to its implementation and in a restrictive way, the objectives previously indicated as suitable are satisfactorily achieved, being the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it from what is already known, conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present description thereof. In particular, what the invention advocates is, as already noted above, a side-cutting tap for beer dispensers which, advantageously, is provided with selection means that allow it to be handled with it, and with it the As the liquid passes through it, it remains secured in different positions to facilitate the brewing of the beer and, especially, to generate foam correctly, without the need for any training. Specifically, and according to the main innovative feature of the recommended faucet, it is equipped with selection means that ensure its positioning, without having to hold the handle for it, in at least a closed position and a position of atomized In the closed position the closing of the liquid passage through the tap is ensured and the opening of the air outlet is ensured for an adequate evacuation of the liquid leftover, preventing it from accumulating inside and bacteria forming. And in the atomized position, the liquid passes through the tap through a very small orifice that causes the generation of the foam. Preferably, however, the tap includes selection means that allow it to be positioned in three positions, a closed position, a spray position and a full opening position. In any case, said means for selecting the position of the handle can be applied to both existing faucets, for example with a handle whose travel covers up to 120 ° and the closed position is an intermediate position between the full opening position and the spray position, such as other types of faucets, said means being able to act on the basis of magnetic systems or mechanisms, spring springs, socket, strapping, visual markings where the spray or closing position coincides with the alignment of both brands, or any other. fifteen Thus, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, although not limiting, the recommended tap has selection means that allow it to be positioned in three positions, a closed position, an atomized position and a full opening position, where the handle, for the closed and full opening positions, adjusts to the 20 ends of a collision that stop, with a 90º opening between one position and another, and for the atomized position it has a small protrusion that, pushed by a spring, it tends to exit through the end of the same that is coupled within the body of the tap, having been provided at a particular point of the internal wall of said body, a recess in which said protuberance is fitted by placing the handle in coincident position, so that it is locked in said specific position; position that is ideal for the liquid flow opening to be atomized. For this, and, according to another feature of the invention, the tap of the invention preferably has a ball that, instead of presenting different hole sizes, a larger one for the passage of liquid in the full opening position and another minor or slot for the atomized position, is a ball that, in addition to the air passage holes for evacuation and exit, has only one hole whose dimension is necessary to allow the passage of the liquid in the full opening position and that, at the same time, serves for the position of atomized, since said position is intermediate between 90º of the full opening and closing position, so that, when the handle is set in the atomized position, approximately 26º, the ball is adjusted in front of the passage of the liquid inlet with its partially overlapped hole therein, to the right extent to achieve the atomization of the liquid and, consequently, the formation of the foam. 5 Logically, the exact position of the handle in the atomized position will have been conveniently calculated so that said overlap causes a partial opening of appropriate size to achieve said atomization of the beer, with the advantage that such opening can be adjusted according to the preferences or needs of each case, without having to modify the manufacture of the ball. In addition, said manufacturing of the ball will be easier, by having only said inlet hole, in addition to those of ventilation and outlet, and, in addition, since the generation of ducts (hole, regatta, etc.) is not necessary, eliminates the possibility of generating dirt or obstructions in said ducts. fifteen Also in an alternative embodiment option, preferably applicable to faucets with handles whose travel span up to 120 ° and the closed position is an intermediate position between the full opening position and the atomized position, the said means for selecting the position of the The lever consists of the existence of a spring associated with the lever and the faucet body allows the lever to be moved to a maximum atomized position 20 and, when released, moves it back to a specific closed position. In view of the foregoing, it is found that the described lateral cutting tap for beer dispenser represents an innovative structure of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for the purpose to which it is intended, reasons that together with its practical usefulness, endow it with sufficient basis to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 30 To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is attached, as an integral part thereof, of a set of drawings, in which with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented: Figures 1 and 2 show, respectively, a side elevation and front elevation view of an example of embodiment of the side cutting tap for beer dispenser object of the invention, their general external configuration being appreciated therein. Figure 3 shows a sectional view, according to the section AA indicated in Figure 3, 5 of the example of the tap of the invention shown in the preceding figures, showing in it the main parts and elements that it comprises, it being understood that These parts and elements have been represented in a very simplified and schematic way. Figures number 4 and 5.- They show paths in section, according to the cuts BB and CC 10 respectively and indicated in figure 1, where the configuration and position of the positioning means as well as the holes of the ball are appreciated when The handle is in full open position. Figures 6 and 7.- It shows again section views of the example of the tap, 15 similar to those shown respectively in Figures 4 and 5, but in this case with the handle located in the atomized position. And Figures 8 and 9.- It also shows two views in section of the tap, similar to those shown in Figures 4 and 5, in this case with the handle located in the closed position. twenty PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, a non-limiting example of the recommended tap can be seen therein, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below. As can be seen in figures 1 to 3, the tap (1) in question is configured from an internally hollow body (2), with an inlet (3) of liquid, at its rear, to which it is attached a segment (4) of tube to allow the connection of the corresponding conduit 30 coming from the dispenser, and an outlet (5) inferior to which a pipe (6) is coupled to direct the liquid towards the vessel to be located inferiorly . Inside said body (2) a ball (7) is contemplated which, housed between the two halves of a plastic part (17), acts as a valve, to give way or not to the liquid from the inlet (3) to the outlet (5), when turning when it is actuated through a vertical axis (8) that, by means of a lace (9), is coupled to the top of said ball (7); axis (8) which, in turn, is linked to a turning lever (10), whose lateral displacement causes the axis (8) to rotate and, consequently, the ball (7). 5 In addition, for the passage of the liquid to be possible, the ball (7) has at least one layered through hole, opened in a lateral section (71) with a diameter suitable to coincide with the inlet (3) and opened in a lower section (72) with a diameter suitable to coincide with the outlet (5), as well as open in a third section (73) of lower diameter to coincide with a ventilation hole 10 (11) provided in the front part of the body ( 2) and whose purpose is to allow the entry of air when the tap is closed to cause the evacuation of any remaining liquid that may remain inside it after the tap is used. From this already known configuration, the tap (1) is characterized by having about 15 selection means that allow it to be positioned in at least one closed position (figure 9), an atomized position (figure 7) and, preferably, also in a full opening position (figure 5), and being more precise, selection means based on a fitting system that allow to ensure the positioning of the handle (10) in said three positions, as shown , respectively, figures 8, 6 and 4. 20 Specifically, said means are determined by the existence of a protuberance (12) coupled at the end of the handle that is coupled to the shaft (8) of the interior of the faucet, coupling which, preferably, is carried out by threading a section of said end of the handle in a threaded hole (81) provided for that purpose in said axis. On the other hand, said protuberance (12) is associated with a spring (13) which, nailed inside the handle (10) tends to push it outward, so that it presses it against the inner wall of the bushing (14 ) surrounding said axis (8) and constituting the upper part of the body (2) of the tap (1), at least a certain point of said interior wall of said socket (14) being provided in a recess (15) in which, when the handle (10) is placed in coincidence, 30 fits the protuberance (12) locking its position at said particular point. It is important to note that, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, a single recess (15) located at a point is contemplated which, as seen in Figures 6 and 7, coincides with the atomized position, said atomized being achieved by overlapping in a very narrow space, and conveniently studied, between the inlet (3) inside the body (2) and the lateral section (71) of the ball hole (7). To select and fix the handle (10) in the closed positions, shown in figures 8 5 and 9, and full opening, shown in figures 4 and 5, the existence of a collision (16) in the bushing is contemplated (14) whose respective ends determine corresponding stops for the lateral displacement of the handle (10), ends that coincide respectively with an aligned position of the handle (10) with the entrance (3) of the body (2) and which allows the passage of the liquid, constituting the position of complete opening (figures 5 and 6) where the lateral section 10 (71) of the ball (7) is completely in coincidence with said inlet (3) through which the liquid from the dispenser passes , and with a position of the handle (10) at 90º from the previous one, that is, perpendicular to the inlet (3) of the body (2), and that completely closes the passage of the liquid, being in this case coinciding with the third section (73) of the ball (7) with the ventilation hole (11) p To cause the evacuation of liquid remains (figures 8 and 9). fifteen As noted above, the means for selecting the position of the handle (10) described above, are not limiting since they can optionally consist of means that, instead of acting on the basis of the aforementioned mechanism of engagement with the protuberance (12 ), may consist of means that act on the basis of a magnetic mechanism or a spring or strap mechanism 20, or on the basis of any other type of mechanism, for example based on the existence of external marks (18), in the body (2) and in the bushing (14) or upper part of said body, where the atomized or closed position coincides in the alignment of both marks, as shown in Figure 1, this alternative selection system being complementary or complementary to others. 25 Finally, another embodiment of the tap (1), applicable when the handle (10) has a travel spanning up to 120 ° and the closed position is an intermediate position between the full opening position and the atomized position, provides that the means for selecting the position of said handle (10) consist of the existence of a spring 30 associated with the handle and the upper part of the faucet body (2) in such a way that it allows the lever to be moved to a maximum atomized position and, when released, it moves back to a specific closed position. It should be noted that this embodiment option has not been represented in the figures, since it is not considered necessary for a person skilled in the art understand the provision that said pier will adopt. In short, the recommended tap (1), comprising at least one hollow body (2) with liquid inlet (3) and outlet (5) and a ball (7) as a rotating valve, actuated through an axis (8) vertical linked to the handle (10) with lateral displacement, and that closes the passage, 5 opens it completely or allows the atomization of the liquid to form foam is distinguished by being equipped with the selection means that allow to secure and fix the positioning of the handle (10) in at least one concrete closed position and a concrete spray position of the ball (7), and preferably, also in a concrete position of full opening, without having to hold the handle for it said means 10 being preferably an engagement mechanism comprising two stops in the lateral displacement of the handle (10), which coincide respectively with a position of the handle (10) in which the ball (7) allows the liquid to pass, constituting the position of aper ture complete and with a position of the handle (10) at 90º from the previous one, in which the ball (7) completely closes the passage of the liquid, as well as a protuberance (12) coupled at the end of the handle (10) 15 which is pressed to fit in at least one recess (15) provided in the inner wall of the upper part of the faucet body (2), located at some point that matches the handle (10) with the atomized position of the ball (7). Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to extend its explanation so that any expert in the field understands its scope and the advantages that derive from it, stating that , within its essentiality, may be implemented in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection that is sought as long as it is not altered, changed or modified. fundamental principle.
