This includes a condiment, such as mustard, catsup, etc. dispensing unit. The condiment is in a container such as a bottle with a neck portion which is attached to a novel plastic dispenser cap. When the device is hanging upside down, the condiment in the container flows into the dispensing tip which has a valve mechanism such that no fluid flows out the end of the tip until pressure is applied by squeezing the plastic tip. A push rod with two spaced apart arms has a roller at the end of each arm. The rollers are a lesser distance apart than the diameter of the dispensing nipple. When the rod pushes the arm, the rollers roll against the dispensing nipple, squeezing and compressing it, and forcing its condiments out the lower end.
A dispenser includes a plurality of beverage dispensing valves mounted thereto along a front end thereof Each valve includes an air switch that is pneumatically operable to turn its associated valve on and off. An equal plurality of air actuators are secured to an elongate panel hingedly secured to the dispenser front surface. Each air actuator includes a pressurized chamber and a pliable front surface. Flexible tubes extend between the air switches and the air actuators for communicating pneumatic pressure there between. The air actuators include a graphics layer secured to the front surfaces thereof. In operation, a front surface an air actuator is depressed manually whereby pneumatic pressure created thereby in the pressurized chamber is communicated by the tube thereof to its particular air switch. The air switch then serves to operate a solenoid of the valve with which it is associated, resulting in dispensing of the beverage. Release of pressure on the actuator front surface breaks the electrical connection stopping dispensing.
A system for dispensing slushy or frozen beverages having an ingredient of interest or importance to a customer. A container of this ingredient is visible to the prospective customer, and an indicator establishes that this ingredient is being supplied while the total beverage is being withdrawn from a mixer.
A fluid extracting device is structured to be capable of extracting only a predetermined amount of a fluid such as wine or the like while a deterioration preventive gas is being supplied to a bottle B and the fluid extracting device (60), which are coupled to each other in an airtight state. Consequently, the partial extraction in a plurality of operations is made possible without causing quality deterioration of the fluid such as wine or the like even after the bottle is once opened. Further, such a structure is provided that the fluid extracting devices (60) having a large number of bottles of wine or the like attached thereto are mounted on a display table at a wine bar or the like.
A product dispenser utilizes an elastomeric tube which is compressed between a plunger and a frame by means of axially slidable members which support the plunger and frame for movement in equal and opposite directions so as to compress the tube and thereby force an aliquot portion of liquid from the tube. Release of the tube will cause the tube to return to its original position due to the elasticity of the tube.
The present invention discloses a beverage dispenser 10 having an upper housing 12 and a lower base 14 with a sealing gasket 40 for attaching 18 the housing 12 to the base 14. Both the housing 12 and base 14 are filled with a foam core 24 having multiple cavities 42 therein for receiving multiple dispensing bottles 16. Bottles 16 are connected by sockets 44 to a liquid reservoir 36 having an air vent 34 and a spigot 30. Embodiments are disclosed having a variable number of bottles 16.
