Beverage distribution systems, connecting equipment and piping used in beverage distribution systems

Abstract

The term "distribution system" refers to a beverage distribution system comprising beverage containers for holding beverages, containers with beverage outlets, and a distribution line that allows for the dispensing of beverages. The distribution line extends between the beverage containers and the distribution vehicle to dispense beverages at the distribution outlet of the vehicle. The connecting device is detachably connected to the container body and is coupled to the second drinking pipe of the beverage distribution line, which is connected to the first drinking pipe of the extended beverage distribution line between the beverage container and the connecting device. The first drinking pipe at its first end includes a connecting body fitted snugly over the beverage container, covering the container's sealing element. The piston is positioned to move within the coupling device to act on the coupling body, which is structured to open the beverage tank seal. The piston activates the seal, causing the beverage tank seal to open, allowing for fluid flow between the beverage chamber and the first beverage conduit.
