Abstract: A dispenser for producing and dispensing beverages mixed of fruit syrup or oncentrate and water which has associated therewith a water jet injection device. The fruit syrup or the concentrate is provided in a refillable and/or removable and insertible storage vessel provided with a sliding bushing or a clamping device with the aid of which the water jet injection device can be brought into sealing communication with the storage vessel, with the necessary connections with the interior of the storage vessel and a pressurized water conduit, respectively, being simultaneously and automatically guaranteed in response to the movement.

Abstract: In a water jet injection device for use with dispensers for producing and spensing beverages mixed of fruit syrup or concentrate there is provided a simple rinsing system which, if need arises, disturbs the water jet of the injection device with the aid of a rod-type member adjustable from outside in such a manner that in the mixing chamber an excess pressure and turbulent flow are generated in place of a vacuum, whereby the mixing chamber is separated from the supply conduit for fruit syrup or the like and an intensive cleaning of all of the parts of the injection device contacting the mixed beverage is effected with the aid of the water of the water jet.

Abstract: A hot water tank is provided for use in beverage dispensing machines which comprises a cover, a discharge valve for hot water, an inlet valve for fresh water, a heating system, controlling means for observing water temperature and water level, an overflow opening communicating with the atmosphere, and an overflow edge extending between the cover and the water level along an external wall of the tank. The overflow opening is covered by means of an automatically closing valve element in the form of a plate. One side of the valve element is swingably fastened to the cover. There is also a ventilating hole provided in the cover, the hole being substantially smaller than the overflow opening.
