Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description below  is going to be done and in order to help a better understanding of The characteristics of the invention are attached herein descriptive a set of drawings based on which understand more easily the innovations and advantages of the table brewery object of the invention.

Figure 1.- Shows an overview in perspective of a preferred embodiment of the table object of the invention, whose beer dispenser includes a only tap, although it could include two or more. The board or countertop of the table is in this case circular although it could also have any other appropriate geometric configuration.

Figure 2.- Shows a schematic view in section of the table object of the invention, the ducts being seen of water and beer, as well as drainage, channeled into a pipe general, also looking at the corresponding electrical outlet.

Description of the preferred embodiment

As you can see in the referred figures, the table of the invention includes a board 1, a column of lift 2 and a support base 3, so that board 1 has been represented with a circular configuration, being able to have any other geometric shape and be of greater or lesser extent, while column 2 has been represented with an outline polygonal, can be equally circular, oval or any other contour, including the corresponding support base bottom 3.

In any case, the table presents superiorly  a dispensing column 4 with one or more taps 5 for the dispensed from beer and a screen 6 that is part of a electric actuation device through which, after receiving Timely orders, allows or prevents the dispensing of beer to through the tap or taps 5. The support column 4 is left located on the bottom grill 7 of beer evacuation spilled, to which a drain pipe 9 is logically connected for the evacuation and collection of that leftover beer.

That drain pipe 9, along with the ducts of beer 10 and water 11 in the duct 8, are channeled into a general conduit or pipe 12 that comes from the location corresponding to the cooler and the barrel or tank of beer, of so that if it is hidden under table 1, specifically inside column 2, said ducts they will be of minimum length, while in the case of finding the beer tank and cooler away, logically it will require an appropriate driving installation. In addition, through  the electrical outlet 13 of the duct 12 is also channeled connection between the display 6 of the electric actuator and a control panel that can be located on the table itself, or belong to a coin acceptance purse for the activation of the device that allows or prevents the dispensing of beer through faucets 5, or be located that panel in  an appropriate counter place for a manager or person Authorized establishment is the one that gives the appropriate orders to allow or prevent that beer dispensing, appearing the corresponding display on screen 6 above referred.

In a preferred embodiment, the column 2 can be solidarity both superior and inferiorly to respective plates 14 one for fixing on the soil or appropriate place, and the other for fixing one's own board 1 of the table, although as stated previously, both the support column 2, and the base 3, the own board 1 and means of fixing each other of such elements, can be solved in any appropriate way.
