Abstract: A container-contained beverage temperature adjustment apparatus includes a heat transfer member capable of abutting a part of a side surface of a container-contained beverage as an object of temperature adjustment. The apparatus further includes a temperature adjustment unit configured to adjust a temperature of the container-contained beverage through the heat transfer member, which may include a deformable bag body, and heat transfer powder and heat transfer liquid contained in the bag body. The heat transfer liquid is a liquid which freezes at a temperature higher than a target temperature.
Abstract: A dispensing head includes a fastening portion fastened to a mouth of a beverage container, a connecting portion to which a gas coupling connected to a gas cylinder via a gas tube is connected, a gas channel configured to cause the connecting portion and the beverage container to communicate with each other, a dispensing portion configured to dispense a beverage injected from the beverage container by a pressure of a gas supplied to the beverage container via the gas channel, and an operation inhibition mechanism configured to inhibit an operation for connecting the gas coupling to the connecting portion in a state in which the fastening portion is not fastened to the mouth.
