Since the connection attachments automatically to be pressed on the beverage cans or bottles do not need any special certain threads, diameters or similar adapted connection structures are provided each connection attachment can be all conventional beverage cans or - pick up bottles.
  • connection attachments on the beverage cans or bottle-pressing force can also be caused by connecting attachments and cans or bottles connected to one another via an elastic element are, for example via a attached to the connection attachment, in small
  • the circumference of the elastically deformable bracket holds the beverage bottle attached to the connection attachment or box as a whole or any cantilever structure behind it can.
  • connection attachments are advantageously present and with connected to the tap so that when the dispensing container is filled, a larger one Amount of drink can be provided.
  • Connection attachments not everyone has to Connection attachments can be used, so that every smaller beverage volume is available can be made.
  • connection attachments When all connection attachments are connected to a common manifold is a simpler and takes up less space inside the container Given structure.
  • the container is axially divided into two parts executed, with at least one receptacle for the or each beverage bottle in one part or socket is provided and in the opposite part of the or each of the connection attachments is arranged.
  • each connection attachment with a ventilation device is provided for the beverage bottle or can.
  • the ventilation device from a vent tube that projects completely into the beverage bottle or can exists, which opens automatically in the delivery position of the container and is otherwise kept closed.
  • the venting device up to and also after insertion into the or every beverage bottle or can be kept closed. Then, after Closing the dispensing container, this brought into the use position tilted by 180 °, now venting device is opened so that the drink without resistance can drain from the dispenser solely by its weight.
  • the ventilation tube due to a weight-loaded seal depending on the spatial orientation the venting device is kept open or closed.
  • This is structurally special simple construction also offers a very safe function.
  • the Release of the ventilation device can also be solved differently, for example by a mechanism to be operated from the outside, for example one with a closure of the Ventilation tube connected (lever) linkage or the like.
  • the connecting attachment with a sealing contact surface is advantageously for the pouring opening of the beverage bottle or can and is a shut-off device arranged between this support surface and the tap. So that's undesirable Outflow of the beverage or any contents of the beverage containers used after attaching the connection attachments as well as the outflow into the interior of the Dispensing container prevented.
  • the shut-off device is advantageously arranged within the connecting attachment, which results in a very compact and reliable construction.
  • shut-off device has a seal that is spring-loaded towards a seat in the closing direction.
  • An embodiment according to one is very compact and simple to operate Another feature of the invention, in which the seal of the shut-off device on the Vent tube sits and is lifted from the sealing seat when the container is closed.
  • the connecting attachment is advantageously constructed essentially in the form of a sleeve and placed axially displaceably on the vent tube, and is behind the Seal seat worked out a substantially radial drain opening in the connection attachment.
  • the connecting attachment can be carried out in a simple and reliable manner during placing the connection attachment on the beverage can or bottle the venting device is used and the arrangement is then immediately functional be made while connecting the beverage bottle or can to the tap is released.
  • vent tube is well protected against damage is attached to a platen, which one with the end of the vent tube has an aligned hole, the weighted seal on the vent tube opposite side of the stop plate is arranged.
  • FIG. 1 shows an axial section through a dispensing container according to the invention and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section through a connecting attachment according to the invention on a larger scale.
