3 Claims.
The present invention relates to beverage dispensing devices and has for its primary object to provide a cabinet within which the barrels or tanks of beverages are removably positioned and providing mechanical cooling means including coils surrounding the compartment within which the beverage container is positioned to maintain the same in a cooled condition. y
The apparatus is designed primarily as a beer bar and includes a bar structure or counter having openings in the-upper surface thereof communicating with the cooling compartment and within which the kegs or barrels of beer may be removably positioned, the upper edge of the keg or barrel being provided with a flange resting upon the bar to seal the opening and thus prevent escape of the cool air contained within the compartment, it being understood that any desired number of such cooling compartments may be provided in the bar to suit the conditions under which the same are used.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved beer barrel or container constructed of metal and having handles at its upper edge to facilitate removal and the placing of the barrel within the refrigerating container.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and arrangement of the parts as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which Figure 1 is a rear elevational view of the bar embodying the present invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan View.
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially on a line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure i is a transverse sectional view through one of the cooling chambers.
Figure is a fragmentary detail in section of the upper edge of one of the beer barrels, and
Figure'fi is a similar view of the lower edge thereof showing the mannerin which the same is suspended within the cooling chamber.
Referring now to the drawings in the detail wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates a beer bar or counter which includes the serving counter 6 and a dispensing counter 1 within which are formed a plurality of round openings 8, each of the openings providing communication with individual compartments 9 arranged in the bar beneath the dispensing counter 1.
Access to the compartments 9 is provided through the hinged door Ill mounted in the rear wall of the counter, the inner surface of the door as well as the compartment 9 being provided with an insulation lining -H. the compartments 9 is an upstanding metal cylinder l2 closed at its bottom and having its upper edge snugly fitted in the opening 8 and terminating flush with the surface of the dispensing counter l as more clearly shown in Figure 3 of the drawings. The walis of the cylinder 42 are perforated as shown at l3 to provide for the free circulation of air from the interior of the cylinder to the "compartment 9.
Surrounding the cylinder i2 is a cooling coil l4 connected with a mechanical refrigerating unit l5 which is preferably positioned in the bar beneath the serving counter s.
Removably positioned in the cylinder I2 is a metal beer keg or barrel is which has its side walls slightly spaced from the Walls of the cylinder, as more clearly illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 of the drawings to expose the surface of the barrel to the cool air entering the openings l3. Adjacent the upper end of the barrel is an annular flange ll adapted to rest upon the upper surface of the dispensing counter 1 and serving to support the bottom of the barrel in an elevated position above the bottom of the cylinder as clearly shown in Figure 6. An insulation packing l8 positioned under the flange conceals the opening at the top of the cylinder.
The flange I 7 at diametrically opposite sides is also provided with a pair of hinged handles H] to facilitate the removal and replacing of the barrel within the cylinder :2, the handles being adapted to fold downwardly in an out-of-the-way position when the barrel is positioned in the bar.
The usual beer rod 20 is inserted through the tap 2! in the top of the barrel and is provided with the dispensing faucet 22 which is suspended in a position above the drain-board 23 of the bar, the drain-board having a drain pipe 24 leading therefrom.
The top of the barrel is also provided with the tap 25 for receiving the gas pipe 26 leading to the carbonic gas tank 2'? which is also mounted in the bar beneath the serving counter 6. Access to the refrigerating unit E5- and the gas tank 2'3 is afforded by means of a door in the end of the bar (not shown). The compartment 9 of the bar may be suitably spaced apart to afford accommodation for a stack of ice cube trays 28 which are also connected with the refrigerating unit Hi to freeze the same.
Positioned in each of The dispensing counter 21 may also be pro- Vided with a water faucet 29 having proper connection with the water service line.
It is believed the details of construction and manner of use of the apparatus will be readily understood from the foregoing without further detailed explanation.
Having thus described the invention what I claim is-- I 1. A beverage dispensing apparatus of the class described comprising a bar cabinet having a dispensing counter, an insulated compartment beneath the counter, the counter having an opening therein affording access to the compartment, a perforated metal cylinder arranged in an upright position in the compartment, a cooling coil surrounding the cylinder and a beverage container removably positioned in the cylinder through the upper end thereof, said container having a flange at its upper end resting upon the counter and sealing the opening therein.
2. A beverage dispensing apparatus of the class described comprising a bar cabinet having a dispensing counter, an insulated compartment beneath the counter, the counter having an opening therein afiording access to the compartment, a
perforated metal cylinder arranged in an up- 3. A'beverage dispensing apparatus of the class described comprising a bar cabinet having a dispensing countenan insulated compartment be- I neath the counter, the counter having an opening therein aiiording access to the compartment, a perforated metal cylinder arranged in an upright position in the compartment, a cooling coil surrounding the cylinder and a beverage container removably positioned in the cylinder through the upper end thereof, said container having a flange at its upper end resting upon the counter and sealing the opening therein, said position within the cylinder, and a plurality of collapsible handles connected to the top of said container. r 1
