  • Publication number: 20070045339
    Abstract: The Beverage Dispensing Box for Office and Kitchen Counters is intended to hold a flexible disposable beverage bag filled with a potable liquid and dispense that liquid under pressure when the spigot is opened. The Beverage Dispensing Box is unique in that it employs the law of gravity. Through the use of a sloped container floor and a weighted pressure plate, a natural force (non-mechanical or electrical) is applied to the flexible disposable beverage bag, thus causing the potable liquid to flow from the bag under pressure at a greater gallon per minute (GPM) rate than that of a typical un-pressurized flexible disposable beverage bag—commonly found in corrugated cardboard boxes such as the Wine-in-a-Box container; and at a greater GPM rate than that of a typical 2.5 or 5 gallon bottled water dispensing apparatus. The Beverage Dispensing Box is designed to sit on office, kitchen or other countertops where no electricity is required for use.
