Abstract: A beverage dispensing flow control device according to one example includes a body portion, an actuation lever and a sealing gasket. A sealing gasket is securable over the bottom surface of the body and has a bottom surface with a beverage flow aperture and a vent aperture. The apertures are configured to define a maximum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the body portion such that the beverage flow aperture does not block the flow aperture of the body portion, and a minimum flow position when the sealing gasket is rotationally aligned with respect to the body portion such that the beverage flow aperture blocks at least the majority of the body's flow aperture while leaving at least a portion of the vent channel unblocked. A plunger is in operable communication with the actuation lever to selectively seal the bottom surface of the gasket.

Abstract: A dispenser according to one example includes a container portion, a collar base portion and a lever portion. The container portion includes a sidewall, a bottom surface, a hollow interior and an open top. The open top includes an upwardly extending neck. The collar base portion includes a neck receiving recess defined therein, a flow aperture defined therein, a receiving cavity defined therein, a dispensing edge defined in a forward portion thereof, an upwardly extending first pivot member, and a handle portion extending from a rearward portion thereof. The lever portion includes an elongated body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a dispensing end and an actuating end. The lever portion defines a cutoff edge adjacent the dispensing end, a second pivot member extending downwardly from the lower surface, and a biasing member extending generally downwardly from the bottom surface.
