Abstract: Disclosed is a device for dispensing a fluid, in particular a carbonated beverage, from a storage chamber of a container towards the outside via at least one closeable discharge port, comprising a pressure reservoir which is separated from the storage chamber and in which a pressurized propellant is accommodated, and which can be connected to the storage chamber via a pressure regulation mechanism. The pressure regulation mechanism includes an axially moveable regulating element that is impinged upon by means of a spring in the direction of an open position in which propellant is discharged from the pressure reservoir into the storage chamber. The ambient pressure to which the container is exposed acts upon the regulating element in the direction of the open position, and the internal pressure inside the storage chamber of the container acts upon the regulating element in the direction of the closed position.

Abstract: The invention concerns a liquid container for drinks such as a can, party keg or drum, having a peripheral wall (1,13,31) and lids (14,32). A tap (4,15,34) with a closed and opened position is inserted in a hole (27,33) in the wall (1,13,31) or in one of the lids (14,32). The tap extends into the interior of the container and comprises an outer part (6,16,35) which is fixed to the wall or lid and an inner part (5,17,36) which can move within the fixed part and is provided outside the container with a grip (8,26,41). The hole (27) can be located in the wall (1) or lid (14) in a recess (3) in which, when the tap (4,15) is in the closed position, the grip (8,26) attached to the inner part (5,17) of the tap is countersunk.

Abstract: A tap is provided for withdrawing fluid from a container comprising an outer tube, which can be fitted in an opening of the container in sealing engagement and in which an inner tube is received in sliding and sealing engagement, an inlet opening arranged in the outer tube, and an inlet opening arranged in the inner tube which communicates with an outlet opening in the inner tube that can be transferred by a corresponding movement of the inner tube from a closed position, in which the inner tube is completely inserted in the outer tube and in which the inlet openings of the outer tube and the inner tube do not overlap, to an open position in which the inlet openings of the outer tube and the inner tube are at least partially aligned one with the other.
