  • Publication number: 20090014075
    Abstract: A dispenser for delivering beverages (e.g. beer) including a main body (20), an inlet (21), an outlet (23) and a piston stop valve (23). In use, the piston moves from a first closed position (A) to a second position (B) where fluid is permitted only through restrictive channels (30) that causes turbulent flow and hence foam formation for the head of the beverage. In a third position (C), flow is completely open from the inlet to the outlet and foam formation is minimised.

    Abstract: A dispenser for delivering beverages (e.g. beer) including a main body (20), an inlet (21), an outlet (23) and a piston stop valve (23). In use, the piston moves from a first closed position (A) to a second position (B) where fluid is permitted only through a restricted aperture (31) provided in a collar (27) that extends around the piston. The restricted flow path causes turbulence and hence foam formation on the beverage. In a third position (C), flow is completely open from the inlet to the outlet.

  • Patent number: 4742942
    Abstract: A faucet for dispensing flat malt beverage and a smooth, creamy and stable foam having a shiftable faucet shaft which in one position dispenses flat beer and in a second position provides an alternate flow path through restricted orifices which increase the velocity of the malt beverage so that it draws air into the faucet housing through orifices therein and incorporates the air into the foam to dispense a stable, creamy foam from the faucet discharge port.
