Abstract: A complete self-contained drink and ice dispensing system which is portable and fulfills all the drink dispensing needs of a drink server is provided. All the components necessary to dispense a drink including ice are housed in a single compact unit which is extremely space efficient. These components include an ice maker which resides above a storage bin and a cold plate resting in the bottom of the storage bin. The ice maker supplies both the ice dispensed with the drinks as well as the ice used to cool the cold plate. Situated between the product source and cold plate are pumps which pump product to dispensing valves for dispensing into cups. Additionally, a water pump and carbonator are positioned between a water source and the cold plate to provide the carbonated water dispensed with the product. The product source, water source, water pump, carbonator, product pumps, cold plate, and dispensing valves are all fluidly connected by product lines.

Abstract: A bonnet for covering the top of a beverage dispensing apparatus, particularly a carbonated beverage dispensing apparatus. The bonnet is formed in the shape of a substantially rectangular enclosure and assembled from first and second members, the first member being formed into the side walls and one end of the bonnet and the second member being formed to comprise the top edges of the sides and end of the bonnet as well as the top thereof. In this manner, the first member can be painted one solid color and the second member can be painted a second color such that the second color of the second member becomes the top border of the side wall of the bonnet, thereby simplifying the application of the trademark and graphics, as well as the assembly, of the bonnet.
