ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a beverage dispensing apparatus which has a housing including a beverage container storage section. At least one beverage container from which measured amounts of beverage will be dispensed is supported in the storage section. An inclined beverage conveying channel supported by the housing has a receiving end adapted for receiving a measured amount of beverage from at least one of the containers. The other end of the beverage conveying channel is located at a height lower than the receiving end so that beverage will flow by gravity toward the delivery end of the channel where a delivery spout is located for delivering the measured amount of the beverage into the mouth of a consumer. A beverage releasing mechanism is coupled to each container in the storage section for dispensing the measured amount of beverage onto receiving end of the inclined channel. A selector switch supported by the housing is electrically coupled to the beverage releasing mechanism for activating it when the selector switch is engaged. A coin changer device is also mounted on the housing and is connected to the selector switch by an electric circuit for activating the selector switch when a coin or appropriate token is deposited in the coin changer. A consumer can engage the selector switch when it is activated to activate the releasing mechanism in order to release a measured amount of beverage onto the receiving end of the inclined channel where it will flow down to the delivery end for consumption by the consumer.
