An apparatus for pressurizing and distributing various types of beverages comprises a conduit (1, 2) which supplies beverage and gas to the container (3) and discharges the gas from the container (3) into the atmosphere, The end portion is connected to the container 3 through the sealed plug connection mechanism 4 and the other end is connected to a nipple 8 for discharging the gas to the atmosphere through the control unit of the process, Are connected to sleeves 5, 6, 7. The control unit has a three-way cock (9), the two inlet conduits of which are connected to the sleeves (6, 7) which supply different beverages, And the control unit includes a first throat valve 13 and a second throttle valve 14, and the inlet conduit of the first throttle valve is connected to the inlet port of the conduit 1, And the outlet conduit is connected to the conduit 1 for feeding the beverage to the container 3 (Fig. 1) or to the conduit 2 for discharging the gas to the atmosphere (FIG. 2), the inlet conduit of the second throttle valve is connected to the outlet hole of the conduit 2 for discharging the gas to the atmosphere. The conduits 1, 2 and the three-way faucet 9, which supply the gas and the beverage to the container 3 and discharge the gas from the container 3 to the atmosphere, are located inside a single housing 15. The three-way nipple 9 may be embodied as a disk cartridge cock (FIGS. 5 and 6) having a control handle 16 fixed to the shaft 17 Is implemented as a kinematically connected sliding flow switch (Figure 11).

1, 6 and 8), the lower portion of the gas discharge conduit 2 is embodied as a pipe 18, which is arranged in a lower portion of the conduit 1 for supplying the beverage to the container And is mounted with a gap therebetween. In the second embodiment (Fig. 2), the lower portions of the beverage supply conduit 1 and the gas discharge conduit 2 are parallel to each other.

9) which connects the neck of the container 3 to the device comprises a hollow axisymmetric housing 19 which has a notch 21 on the side wall Shaped bracket 22 formed at the end to hold the neck of the container 3 and the control handle 20 and the neck of the container together with the beverage supply and gas discharge conduits 1, (15), whereby rotation and reciprocation can be selected. The mechanism 4 has a non-through threaded groove 23 made in the wall of the lower part of the housing 15 of the apparatus and is rotatable by the roller 24 being installed therein and from which the axially symmetrical hollow housing And the control handle 20 is positioned on the outer surface of the housing 19 of the mechanism at the height at which the roller 24 is installed.

The apparatus is provided with a foam suppression unit in a container 3, wherein the first embodiment (Fig. 8) is embodied as a threaded bulkhead 25 and the threaded bulkhead is connected to the inner surface of the beverage supply conduit 1 and the pipe 18 On the outer surface of the gas discharge conduit 2 pipe 18 from the container 3 inside the clearance between the gas outlet conduit 2 and the container 3.

1 and 6), the unit for bubble containment in the container 3 is embodied as an annular shoulder 26, which is a gas discharge from the container 3 on the outer surface Is located at the lower end of the pipe (18) of the conduit (2).

In the third embodiment (Fig. 2), a unit for bubble suppression in the container 3 is embodied as a bending pipe 27, which is connected to the outlet 3 of the conduit 1, which supplies the beverage to the container 3 Respectively.

The beverage supply sleeves 6, 7 (FIG. 4) in the apparatus are embodied in a single housing 3.

A stop is provided in the handle 16 on the axis 17 of the tri-directional cartridge nipple 9 and the stop restricts the inclination of the handle in the vertical plane so that the inflow conduit 10 or 11 can dispense one of the beverages Exceptions to the position of the handle open to supply.

The position stop of the handle 16 on the axis 17 of the tri-directional cartridge nip 9 includes a bush 29 which is located about the axis 17 and which is connected to the inlet conduit 10 Which is embodied as a disc 32 with a tab 33 and which has grooves 30,31 made at the end where the handle 16 remains when it is opened to supply one of the beverages 11,11) The disk 32 is rigidly fixed to the shaft 17 and the tab 33 is positioned on the surface of the end of the bush 29 .

The device operates in the following manner.

The manual dispenser of foam and / or carbonated beverages operates in the following manner. The plastic container 3 has its neck aligned with the notch 21 of the housing 19 of the locking mechanism whereby the C-shaped bracket 22 holds the container 3 with the shoulder of the neck. The handle 20 is rotated to tightly align the container 3 with the lower end of the housing 15 of the device. By doing so, the control handle 16 and the throttle valves 13, 14 of the three-way tap 9 are in the closed position. Next, the throttle valve 13 is opened so that the conduit 5 for supplying the gas is introduced into the inner space of the container 3 through the conduit 1 (Fig. 1) or the conduit 2 (Fig. 2) Connect. By doing so, the CO ₂ gas enters the PET container 3, and the pressure of the PET container equilibrates with the pressure inside the beverage tank at a constant pressure. Next, the valve 13 is closed and the handle 16 (Figs. 6 and 7) of the three-way cartridge nipple 9 rotates 20 degrees to the left or right from the neutral position, (6 or 7) having one type of beverage is connected to the inner space of the PET container (3) through the conduit of the three-way tap (9), the outlet conduit (12) and the delivery conduit (1). The beverage does not enter the container 3 because the pressure in the PET container 3 is equal to the pressure in the beverage tank at a constant pressure. When the throttle valve 14 is opened, CO ₂ gas is forced into the atmosphere from the PET container 3 through the conduit 2, the conduit of the throttle valve 14 and the outlet nipple 8. A pressure difference is generated between the inside of the beverage tank and the PET container 3 at a constant pressure, so that one type of beverage fills the container 3. The beverage is deflected by the annular shoulder 26 (Fig. 1) or deflected by the bending pipe 27 (Fig. 2), or the screw Is twisted by the partition wall 25 to be supplied to the neck walls of the PET container 3 as a conical film and then smoothly flows down the wall to suppress the formation of foam. Bubble formation is also removed by generating gas pressure on the beverage surface inside the plastic container 3 in the dispensing system, which pressure exceeds the saturation pressure of the dissolved gas in the beverage. Once the PET container 3 is filled with the beverage, the handle 16 of the nipple 9 is returned to its initial neutral position to stop further supply of beverage from the tank of constant pressure. A part of the dissolved gas discharged from the gas and the beverage remaining in the neck of the container 3 is removed to the atmosphere through the conduit 2, the conduit of the throttle valve 14 and the nipple 8 (Figs. 1 and 2) . Once the pressure inside the container 3 equilibrates with the atmospheric pressure, the control handle 20 of the fixing mechanism 4 is rotated backward to disconnect the lower end of the housing 15 from the neck of the PET container 3, The PET container 3 is detached from the apparatus, and the plug is engaged to be used by the consumer. The container 3 is filled with other types of drinks in the same manner.

A stop in the position of the handle 16 in the shaft 17 of the three-way cartridge nipple 9 (see FIG. 9) prevents mixing of different types of beverage while filling the container 3. If necessary, the device may be operated as a mixer of several beverages, for example as a mixer to prepare cocktails. For that purpose, the handle 16 of the device and the disc 32 are separated from the shaft 17. [ The handle 16 is returned to its initial position and the device is ready to operate as a beverage mixer for preparing, for example, grapes or fruit cocktails.

The claimed design reduces the size of the device for pressurized dispensing of several different types of beverages and improves convenience in sanitization and use since it utilizes a slide 3 directional flow switch or three-way cartridge faucet as a flow-switch control unit do.
