In this case, the outlet 8 OUT and the inlet 9 IN extend through the bores 4 O and 4 O as shown in Fig. 4. Then, the outlet 8 OUT and the inlet 9 IN are connected to the dispenser 1 and the carbonic acid gas bottle 10, respectively.
  • pressurized carbonic acid gas at a service pressure of 0.02 to 10 kg/cm2 is injected from the gas bottle 10 into the pressurizing bag 9.
  • the bag 9 is gradually inflated to compress the sirup containing bag 8, and the sirup is discharged from the bag 8 under pressure and is introduced into the dispenser 1.

  • the bag 9 With the formation of the concentrical folding lines 11a 12a at the upper and lower walls 11 and 12 of the bag 9, the area defined by outermost four edge lines 9a can be greatly reduced, and therefore, the bag 9 can be easily installed in the external box 7 as shown in Fig. 5. If carbonic acid gas from the gas bottle 10 is injected into the folded bag 9, the folded portions 11a and 12a are gradually stretched and the bag 9 smoothly expands without pressure application to the local portion of the bag 9 until the bag 9 is fully expanded. Therefore, prolonged service life of the bag 9 results. In response to the expansion of the bag 9, the sirup containing bag 8 is subjected to compression, to thereby discharge the sirup therefrom under pressure, to thus supply the sirup to the dispenser 1.

  • bag area defined by the outer edgelines can be reduced because of the formation of the conentrically folded portions, so that the bag 9 can be easily installed within the external box 7. Further, during gas injection into the bag 9, the concentrically folded portions are gradually stretched and smooth expansion of the bag 9 is attainable. This gradual expansion can prevent the bag 9 from the application of locally excessive pressure, and therefore, the bag 9 is not subjected to any damage.
