Abstract: In an outer container (1) there is disposed an inner container (2) which contains the product to be withdrawn in portions. On the top of a container cover (4) there is a diaphragm-like body (6) with a bore (7) for the emergence of the product. When not in use, the diaphragm-like body (6) lies tightly against a plug (8) which closes the bore (7). The plug (8) is joined by ribs (10) to a ring (11) to which the inner container, consisting of soft material, is fastened. The container cover (4) and the ring (11) are joined together by interlocking. When the outer container (1) is squeezed a pressure develops in the interstice between the two containers, which interstice can be shut off by an air valve (15), and by this pressure a certain amount of the product is forced out of the inner container (2) between the plug (8) and the yielding diaphragm-like body (6), whereupon the diaphragm-like body (6) returns again to the sealing position. The product is thus always protected against the access of air.

Abstract: Ice from an ice-making source is loaded into a bin and rests upon a curved liner which is spaced above the bottom of the bin. Ice is moved through the bin and above the liner by a wire auger toward a discharge opening. Ice gravitationally feeds through openings in the liner to a cold plate which forms the bottom of the bin. The ice chills the cold plate, chilling beverages flowing through passages in the cold plate. As ice resting on the cold plate takes up heat, the ice melts. Water is drained from above the cold plate. Foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation surrounds the bin. A motor is mounted on the front of the bin. A drive connected to the motor drives the ice-moving auger and discharge equipment. A motor controller is mounted near an ice-discharge chute. Beverage-dispenser valves are connected to the front of the cold plate and are aligned with the dispenser chute.

Abstract: A container of rigid material comprises an appliance which employs the contractional force of an expanded rubber hose and expanded product container for the discharge of a medium stored therein. A hollow body of elastic material located in the axis of the product container is provided with a valve at one end through which it is inflated. The shape of the inner walls of the rigid container limits a radial, diagonal-radial and axial expansion of the appliance in a predetermined ratio, whereby the medium acts upon the inflated hollow body in such a way that the volume of the latter decreases, whereby its inner pressure increases and gives it a tendency to expand. If the squeezing pressure exerted by the rubber hose and the product container upon the medium decreases, the hollow body can expand accordingly and thus compensate the loss of contraction pressure.
