Abstract

Beverage dispensing valve (10) having a main body (20) comprising:
- a first portion (21) for the entrance of the beverage into said valve (10);
- an intermediate portion (20I) comprising at least one opening (20A) that allows the beverage to flow out of said intermediate portion (20I);
- a second portion (22) extending parallel to a valve axis (A), a sealing member (23) associated with said second portion (22) in the proximity of a terminal part (22A) thereof,
said valve (10) having a lower body (30) in encircling relation to said second portion (22) and said at least one opening (20A) of the intermediate portion (20I), said lower body (30) being adapted to slide axially over said intermediate portion (20I) and second portion (22) to move between
- a first operating condition, wherein an inner surface (31) of the lower body (30) cooperates with said sealing member (23) to prevent the beverage from coming out of said valve (10),
- a second operating condition, wherein at least one gap (L) is formed between said inner surface (31) and said sealing member (23) to allow the flow of the beverage. The second portion (22) of the main body (20) is rod-shaped and comprises a longitudinal slit (22F) extending along said second portion (22).
