ABSTRACT:
A beverage server has a divided fluid container comprising a pair of isolated chambers. The container has mounted thereon a closure cap of a cap assembly which locks to the top of the container. The closure cap has filler caps on its upper face for alternately exposing the chambers to permit filling them with beverages to be dispensed, and closing off the chambers from the outside. The cap assembly houses a chamber selection mechanism for alternately selecting one or the other of the chambers from which to dispense a beverage. The chamber selection mechanism includes a trigger housed in the handle which actuates a rack and pinion assembly housed in the closure cap. A pinion rod and chamber plug carrier arm mounted thereon rotate as the pinion gear is engaged by the rack. A chamber plug carried by the arm is rotated as desired into position for alternately opening up or closing off one of the two chambers. A compression spring operates to move the chamber selection mechanism to a default position, sealing off one of the two chambers and permitting the other chamber to communicate with the common spout. When the trigger is depressed, the spring is loaded, at the same time opening up the one chamber and closing off the other. When the trigger is released, the loaded spring moves to its relaxed state and returns the chamber selection mechanism to the default position.
