Abstract: A beverage cooling and dispensing machine allows easy attachment and detachment of elements such as a cooling pipe. The beverage cooling and dispensing machine comprises a cooling water tank storing cooling water and including an evaporator, a refrigerator for supplying a coolant to the evaporator, a cooling pipe through which beverage flows, the cooling pipe being formed as a coil and placed within the cooling water tank, a dispensing head attached to a mouth of a beverage tank filled with beverage, a hose one end of which is connected to the dispensing head, and the other end of which is connected to an end of the cooling pipe on a beverage introducing side, a spigot connected to the end of the cooling pipe on the beverage introducing side, and an agitator, placed within the coil of the cooling pipe, for stirring the cooling water.

Abstract: After a container is placed on a rest base beneath a beverage dispensing section where a dispensing outlet is provided, a dispensing button is depressed and a stepping motor constituting a base tilting drive device is driven for a predetermined time period to cause a linear head to be extended so that the rest base and hence a container is tilted as one unit. A dispensing valve drive device is operated to open a dispensing valve and dispense a bubbling beverage along an inner wall of the container, while suppressing any excessive formation of bubbles. When a bubble surface or liquid level of the beverage dispensed into the container rises to a predetermined level, the stepping motor is reversely driven to bring the container to an erect state. When the container becomes full with the beverage, the dispensing valve is closed, stopping the dispensing of the beverage.
