ABSTRACT:
A sanitary cover for a liquid dispenser, such as a typical soft drink dispenser is provided. A typical soft drink dispenser includes a nozzle assembly and an adjacent actuator where a diluent such as carbonated water is mixed with a beverage concentrate or syrup to produce a soft drink. The present invention provides a cover for the dispensing area of a conventional beverage dispenser which allows a user or consumer to manipulate, through a hand slot, a cup behind the cover in order to fill the cup at the beverage dispenser. The sanitary cover includes a cup inlet which discourages the insertion of a full or partially full cup. The outlet of the cover allows a full cup to be removed from the casing but discourages insertion of a full or partially full cup. The cover, thus, prevents a soiled cup from contacting the beverage dispensing nozzle or actuator assembly. The cover also provides shielding of the actuator and dispensing nozzle area of a beverage dispenser for sanitary reasons.
