Patent number: 7140514Abstract: A drinks dispensing device (1, 25) is provided with a cooling chamber and a tap head for receiving a shut-off valve (32) of a drinks container which has been positioned in the cooling chamber. The tap head comprises a displacement member (45) and a seat (42) which is connected thereto. A handle (33) is removably connected to the seat and can be removed therefrom. Without the handle (33), it is difficult or impossible for the displacement member (45) to be moved by a user by hand, and consequently the drinks dispensing device cannot be operated by children. It is also possible for the user to exchange the handle for a handle of a specific appearance which matches the interior or is distributed by the producer of the drink which is to be dispensed in the event of promotional activities.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Heineken Technical Services B.V.Inventors: Guido Petrus Johannes Van Der Klaauw, Bart Jan Bax, Marius Corstiaan Van Duuren
