ABSTRACT:
A beverage dispensing apparatus provides a receiver for accepting an inverted beverage bottle. The bottle is capped by a screw-on top having a conical dispensing neck. The dispensing neck is normally plugged by a stopper that is urged into the neck by a spring. When the bottle is inverted, therefore, the beverage is not able to flow out of the neck. When the bottle is inserted into the receiver, the side wall of the screw-on top is sealed within an o-ring held in the receiver. Also, the stopper is forces away from contact with the dispensing neck by a positioning surface within the receiver so that beverage is able to flow from the container into the receiver. The stopper also makes contact with an air tube which protrudes upwardly within the receiver. A bore within the stopper receives the air tube and provides a conduit to a further tube which delivers the air to the bottom of the container which therefore allows air to replace the beverage leaving the container.
