Abstract: The present invention provides a fitting for a beverage container capable of completely preventing foreign matter, dirty water and so on from entering by eliminating a gap between a ferrule and an attachment member, and enabling a reduction in maintenance operations. The fitting for a beverage container comprises a ferrule of a beverage container in which a valve seat portion and an attachment portion are provided integrally, a down tube supported by the attachment portion, a gas valve fitted onto an upper end portion of the down tube, and a beverage valve provided in the interior of the upper end portion of the down tube. The gas valve is constituted by a metallic core metal 31a and a valve member having increased flexibility, and a plan outer peripheral shape of the core metal comprises a constant diameter portion 311 having a constant diameter and a small diameter portion 312a having a smaller diameter than the constant diameter portion.

Abstract: A beverage dispenser (10) supplies a beverage from a beverage container (12) through a piping system, wherein a device is provided for sterilizing, by heat, said piping system and a connection portion (61) of said beverage container connected to said piping system. A beverage dispenser further supplies a beverage from a beverage container (12) through a piping system and a cock (32), wherein a device is provided for sterilizing by heat said piping system and said cock (32). Thus, the piping system in the dispenser is heat-sterilized.

Abstract: An ice-cooled server installed on a drink container has an outer shell body having a truncated-cone shaped step bottom portion. A spiraled cooling pipe is fixedly set in a refrigerant receiver which is fixedly set inside of the outer shell body. A dispense cock is disposed at an outer periphery of said outer shell body and connected to an end of the cooling pipe. The other end of the cooling pipe is connected to a dispense head fixed at a lower and center portion of the outer shell body through a supporting plate. This construction facilitates the installation and detachment of the ice-cooled server to and from the drink container and improves a cooling ability of the server.

Abstract: The container of the present invention includes a rubber protector. The rubber protector is annularly fitted to at least one of an upper end wall and a lower end wall of the container body and extends over the outer peripheral region of the end wall. The end wall is formed with an annular stepped portion by cold working and a radial protruded portion so that work-hardening of the stainless steel is formed to increase the strength of the end walls.
