ABSTRACT:
This is provided a beverage dispenser for dispensing carbonated beverages from bottled beverages. The dispenser comprises a bottle holder for holding bottles in an iverted position and a dispensing valve which screws onto each bottle neck in place of its standard cap closure. The dispensing valve has two passages: a vent passage to decompress the beverage in the bottle just before its discharging of the beverage and the second a discharging passage for the discharging of beverage therefrom. The passages are closed by the insertion of plungers into each of the passages far enough to seal the passages. The plungers are attached to a slide so as to simultaneously move the plungers together. The outside edges of the passages are offset so as to permit, during the opening stroke, the vent passage to open first. The slide and its attached plungers are pushed to close or pulled to open the passages by a hand operated lever which rotates around a fulcrum point under finger pressure. In the closed position the force from pressure inside the bottle against plungers is transferred onto the lever so as to maintain the lever in the closed position. The bottle holder is suitably equipped with lid for insulation and a handle extending through the lid to carry the beverage dispenser with the dispensing bottles inside.
