ABSTRACT:
An operating apparatus for safely and effortlessly operating beverage dispensers of the character which embody a manually operated air pump for expelling the beverage from the dispenser. The operating apparatus of the invention, which can simultaneously support and operate a plurality of air pump dispensers in a side-by-side relationship, safely constrains the dispensers within an upright supporting structure of novel design to which a number of lever-like, air-pump operating arms can be pivotally connected. The operating arms, each of which includes a pump engaging member, is separately movable from a first at rest position to a second, downward operating position. Because of the mechanical advantage offered by the lever-like operating arms of the device, the plunger component of the air pump can be effortlessly depressed while the dispenser is being securely held in position within the superstructure of the device.
