  • Patent number: 6598768
    Abstract: A head for kegs of pressurized drinks comprises: a body, provided with means for coupling to a keg containing a drink; a piston movable between a first lowered position for opening a shutter of the keg and a second raised closure position; a lever for actuating the fork hinged on a stem thereof, subject to elastic means tending to make it rotate in the direction opposite that of actuation, to allow the stabilization of the operating fork in the first and in the second position of the piston; the actuating lever and the stem defining in combination a handle for the operating fork, the stem of the fork and the actuating lever being characteristically formed in such a way that, at least bilaterally to the handle, in correspondence at least with the lower segment of the handle where the first three fingers of the hand that sustains the handle act, there are no openings with variable port during the actuation of the lever.

  • Patent number: 5690136
    Abstract: A drink dispenser includes a body of a head of the device having a cavity that defines a three-way passageway, the cavity containing a tubular element which is slidably movable along an axial direction of the tubular element between a first and second end run position. The tubular element includes a lateral wall that is placed against the first passageway so that the drink can flow from the second passageway into a third passageway. The tubular element is mechanically interconnected by rack-and-pinion links contained in the body to a drink intercept valve having an obturator and a valve seat, with the obturator being rotatable relative to the valve seat so that the drink can flow between the third passageway and into a drink delivery line.
