Benefits of technology

The present invention is a new beverage dispensing device that solves several issues with traditional tap systems. The invention has no thermal break, meaning that it is always cool and the temperature of the beverage remains stable. It is designed to improve the yield of beverages per glass, meaning that less foam is produced. The invention also eliminates residue accumulation, which can lead to bacterial growth, by keeping the tap seamless and not submerged in the beverage. The device has a tap with a cross-sectional area that decreases from the liquid receiving end to the liquid dispensing end, resulting in a faster flow rate. Overall, the invention improves the cooling efficiency, reduces waste, and provides a better user experience for beverage dispensing.

Problems solved by technology

Another primary deficiency of the fast tap beverage dispensing apparatus is that it is difficult to clean, whereas the present invention can be cleaned with a bottle brush.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]As shown in FIG. 1, the rapid beverage dispensing device 20 comprises a neck assembly 22, a valve assembly 24, and an extended nozzle 26. The neck assembly 22 is substantially vertical. The rapid beverage dispensing device 20 is designed to attach to a conventional pressurized beverage dispensing system, such as a beer dispensing system or similar beverage-containing reservoir and for conveying a beverage from a container or beer keg to the device 20. A threaded shank 28 connects the device 20 to the conventional system.

[0016]Neck assembly 22 of the rapid beverage dispensing device 20 positions and supports the rapid beverage dispensing device 20 in a manner that allows for the bottom-initiated filling of a wide variety of container sizes, for example, ranging from glasses to pitchers. The neck assembly 22 has threads 28 to attach to a standard beverage reservoir or a draft dispensing tower column.

[0017]While certain preferred embodiments of the present invention have been dis...

Abstract

A beverage dispensing device fluid has an extended conduit nozzle to permit the dispensing of a pressurized beverages at a high flow rate without producing excessive foaming comprising a streamlined valve assembly and a downward extending nozzle which permits a range of containers to be filled from the bottom without submerging the nozzle in the beverage.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001](Not Applicable)STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY-SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT[0002](Not Applicable)REFERENCE TO AN APPENDIX[0003](Not Applicable)BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]1. Field Of The Invention[0005]This invention relates generally to a nozzle for dispensing carbonated or pressurized beverages, and more specifically to an extended nozzle for adapting a conventional carbonated beverage faucet to dispense carbonated or pressurized beverages at high flow rates with minimal foaming.[0006]2. Description Of The Related Art[0007]The primary advantage of the present invention is that there is no thermal break in the tap. The present invention is integral with the cooling systems utilized in a beer tower, and the extended tap is not an extension, but rather is an integral piece. The entire unit remains chilled at the same temperature as the tank. The beer dispensing system 39 of the present invention has the ability to cool various e...
