[0003]

In the beverage dispenser body 1 as described above, when the drinking water supply container 2 is installed in the upper opening 1a, the supply port of the drinking water supply container 2 is sealed. The lid made of resin is removed one by one, lifted to the position of the upper opening (about 1 m) of the dispenser body 1 for beverage, and the drinking water supply container 2 is turned upside down and installed vertically.

However, in the case of a 20-liter or 30-liter drinking water supply container, the weight is large, and it is very difficult to invert the water so as not to spill the water. Then the dispenser body 1 for beverage
There was a problem that the receiving tank (not shown) overflowed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the need for removing a resin lid sealing a supply port of a drinking water supply container, and to easily replace a drinking water supply container safely and without spilling water. An object of the present invention is to provide an opening support for a drinking water supply container in a dispenser for use.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that the dispenser for drinking water is installed in an upper opening of a main body of the dispenser for drinking and when the supply port of the container for supplying drinking water is installed. At the same time as supporting the supply port, the thin-walled portion of the lid sealing the supply port of the drinking water supply container is opened to guide the drinking water into the beverage dispenser main body. An opening support, wherein the opening support is a container support portion formed in a conical cross section corresponding to the supply port side inclined surface of the drinking water supply container,
A supply port insertion portion having a concave cross section for inserting the supply port of the drinking water supply container in connection with the container support portion, and a tip provided with an air discharge hole and a drinking water inlet at the center of the bottom surface of the supply port insertion portion. The invention is characterized in that a sharp hollow projection is integrally protruded toward the upper part of the supply port insertion portion, and an inflow hole for drinking water is formed in a bottom surface around the projection. .

As described above, it is not necessary to remove the resin lid sealing the supply port of the drinking water supply container one by one, and the drinking water dispenser main body holding the drinking water is kept attached with the lid. When tilted to the upper opening and turned vertically, the thin portion of the resin lid sealing the supply port of the drinking water supply container pierces the metal projection provided at the center of the opening, The stabbed part flows into the beverage dispenser body.

[0007] As a result, the operation of removing the lid one by one becomes unnecessary, and the replacement operation of the drinking water supply container can be performed safely and easily without spilling water.
