ABSTRACT:
A bar gun includes a housing assembly with valve seats, separate inlets to those seats and separate outlets from those seats. Valve elements are operatively mounted to the housing to cooperate with the valve seats. Actuators are pivotally mounted relative to the housing assembly to provide two valve actuations per actuator. A bar gun handle is arranged relative to the actuators to improve access to the actuator levers. A low-current electro-luminescent element is arranged behind a light-transmitting cover to improve visibility of labeling on the gun. Actuator bars are pivotally mounted below valve lifters on the actuators. Syrup valve elements and carbonated and noncarbonated water elements are located below the actuator bars to be actuated by the actuator bars to create the appropriate mix. Lost motion is provided between the actuator bars and the syrup valve elements to accommodate differentials in pressures between the waters and the syrups. The connector to the bar gun includes equal length supply tubes contained within a sheath. The tube end pieces at either end include grouped hole patterns. Shut off valves are employed at the tube end piece at the supply end of the connector which close the supply passages when the end piece is removed. Manual valves are also available to shut off individual supply lines.
