The present disclosure concerns a device (1) for water treatment, comprising: a container (2) configured for containing, in use, a predetermined amount of water (100) to mineralize: at least a supply input (14) for a mineralizing substance(S) to solubilize in said water (100): a mineral solubilisation gas (G) supplying pipe (7), opening itself in said container (2) and configured for supplying a gas within said water (100), said gas (G) being destined to allow a solubilisation of said mineralizing substance in water: the device (1) comprising at least an operating configuration of mineralization, wherein the container (2) is pressurized through the mineral solubilisation gas (G) supplied within said container (2), and in particular is brought and/or kept at a pressure at least equal to a predefined pressure value (PI), said pressure being higher than the environmental pressure, and wherein the mineralizing substance(S) chemically reacts with said gas (G) determining a mineralization of the water with a solubilized compound.

A dispensing appliance allowing the loading of a container together with a dispensing tube is disclosed. After loading the container into the holding portion of the appliance, a dispensing cartridge is engaged into a receiving system provided in the dispensing portion of the appliance, which is movable with respect to the holding portion from a first loading position to a second dispensing position. The cartridge partially encases a dispensing tube with both inlet and outlet ends protruding out of first and second sides of the cartridge, such that the outlet portion of the dispensing tube is flexible. Upon engaging the cartridge into the receiving system, the outlet portion is engaged into a pinch valve while the inlet points towards the dispensing opening of the container. The dispensing tube inlet is introduced into the dispensing opening upon moving the dispensing portion of the appliance to its second dispensing position.

Selected features of a device for transporting and dispensing of chilled, carbonated beverages and its operation are described. A main body includes thermal insulation and is fitted with a multifunctional lid. The main body may be rotomolded. The lid provides a carbon dioxide canister coupled to a pressure regulator and a conduit from the regulator into the main body, with a quick-disconnect fitting to couple to a keg assembly inside the main body. The lid also provides a dispensing tower with a faucet and a beverage conduit with another quick-disconnect fitting for coupling to the keg assembly. The tower may be folded down to lie flat on the top of the lid, e.g., for ease of transportation. A drip tray grate and a drip tray reservoir may be set or fixed on the lid, to collect and dispose of beverage overflow.

A beverage dispensing nozzle includes a housing having an upper end opposite a lower end, and an inlet at the upper end that is configured to be placed in communication with a source of a base liquid. The beverage dispensing nozzle further includes a chamber within the housing and in communication with the inlet. An aerator is in communication with the chamber, and the aerator includes a plate having apertures. A flavor inlet valve is in communication with a source of a flavoring and is arranged downstream of the aerator. The flavor inlet valve is configured to dispense the flavoring into the housing. The beverage dispensing nozzle additionally includes a nozzle tip arranged at the lower end of the housing.

An apparatus for preventing the formation of beer stones and a gas-induced phenomenon, in which foamy beer spurts out of a draught beer container, is disposed in a pipe between the draught beer container and a draught beer dispensing apparatus so as to prevent the gas-induced phenomenon from occurring when the beer is discharged from the draught beer container to the draught beer dispensing apparatus, and to remove and prevent the formation of beer stones deposited on the inner surface of the pipe, between the draught beer container and the draught beer dispensing apparatus, or on the inner surface of the draught beer dispensing apparatus.

An apparatus and method for collecting drips from a spout on a beverage dispenser has a table top base that is held in place by the weight of a beverage dispenser. The table top base supports a drip catch reservoir, and drips hit a back plate with guides before washing into the drip catch reservoir. The drip catch reservoir has an outlet allowing drainage into a disposal tank without moving the apparatus.

The invention concerns an assembly (1) for engaging and activating a bargun (2), the bargun having a handle (21) with at least one button (22, 23) on its upper surface (24) and a nozzle (25) perpendicular to the handle, the assembly comprising:a draining body (11) presenting:. an opening (111) for receiving the bargun nozzle,. an outlet (112) configured for being connected to the drain,a bargun holding bracket (12) attached to the draining body, said bracket defining a space (s) for holding the handle and the free end (121) of said bracket being configured for activating the at least one button on the upper surface of the handle when the handle is slid in said space.

In one embodiment, a beverage system is provided and includes a beverage dispenser and a funnel removably coupled to the mounting ring. The funnel can be configured to receive a primary fluid and an additive, and the funnel can include a mixing chamber configured to combine the primary fluid and the additive into a combined fluid. The mixing chamber can include a plurality of ribs configured to direct the combined fluid toward a funnel outlet. The funnel can further be configured to receive the primary fluid through a primary outlet of the beverage dispenser, and the primary outlet can be positioned substantially tangential to a curve of the funnel such that a fluid vortex is formed in the mixing chamber. Additionally, the funnel can be configured to receive the additive from at least one secondary outlet of the beverage dispenser.

A show effects system includes a beverage filler system, a special effects system and a control system. The beverage filler system includes a base that supports a vessel and a beverage controller used to control a flow of a beverage into the vessel. The special effects system includes one or more displays used to display an image and a semi-reflective mirror including a first side and a second side and positioned between the one or more displays and the vessel. Further, the semi-reflective mirror permits viewing of the display, transmitted through the first side, at the second side and viewing of a reflection of an environment of the vessel at the second side. The control system includes a processor that receives a signal indicative of a presence of the vessel on the base and activates at least the special effects system or the beverage filler system based on the signal.

A soda gun housing may include (i) a plurality of enclosure walls defining an internal space; (ii) a manifold support connected to at least one wall of the plurality of enclosure walls and that is configured to secure a soda gun manifold; (iii) a retraction component anchor connected to a part of the plurality of enclosure walls and that is configured to secure a retraction component to the part of the plurality of enclosure walls, wherein the retraction component is connectable to a hose clamp configured to clamp onto a soda gun hose extending from the soda gun manifold secured by the manifold support; and (iv) a hose opening positioned on a wall of the plurality of enclosure walls and that permits the soda gun hose to extend from the internal space to an exterior of the soda gun housing.
