A constant pressure system includes a pressure vessel with a vapor-liquid mixture used to provide pressure forces instead of compressed air that is typically used. The vapor-liquid mixture can be a number of substances, such as nitrous oxide, so long as the mixture exists in both the liquid and vapor phases. Importantly, the vapor-liquid mixture must maintain a constant pressure during the dispensing of fluids from the tank, so that the fluids are dispensed at the same constant pressure. As a result, the fluids within the tank can be dispensed at the same pressure as that of the vapor-liquid mixture within the tank, or scaled to a higher or lower pressure value through the use of a pressure-converter valve within the system.

A tap is described for delivering liquids from a container comprising: a main body to be placed at the delivery end of the container; a valve inserted between a lower fastening body and the main body, which comprises slits to ensure the air-tightness allowing liquids to pass only when opening the tap; the lower fastening body to be placed on the delivery end of the container; and an upper plug placed over the main body; the main body comprises a tamper evident warranty ring integrated and removable when first opening the tap; and the upper plug is assembled on the main body and anchored to the warranty ring integrated in the main body.

A beverage supply device is provided with: physical buttons for receiving an indicator operation indicating that a beverage selected from among the plurality of types of beverages is to be supplied; a control unit that causes a selected beverage to be discharged from a predetermined nozzle while one of the physical buttons is receiving an indicator operation; and a storage unit that stores the number of sales for each beverage. The control unit increases the number of sales for a beverage by one sale when the same beverage is supplied continuously and the interval during which the beverage is supplied continuously is longer than a predetermined period. The control unit does not increase the number of sales for a beverage when the interval during which the beverage is supplied continuously is shorter than a predetermined period.

In one embodiment, a liquid dispensing system includes a bag, a tap, and a box. The bag includes a spout that is configured to permit the bag to be filled with a liquid. The tap is configured to be coupled to the bag. The box is configured to hold the bag. The box includes a back side and a front side opposite the back side. The front side includes an aperture for the tap. At least a portion of the aperture is located below a horizontal center line of the front side.

The present application provides a dispensing system for a beverage. The dispensing system may include a pressure chamber and a dispenser unit with a refrigeration compartment. The beverage may be stored within the pressure chamber and may be dispensed through the refrigeration compartment under pressure.

A system and method to supply nitrogen gas is provided. Ambient air is compressed and stored in a storage receiver and then nitrogen is separated from the compressed air in a nitrogen membrane separation unit. The separated nitrogen is stored in a nitrogen storage tank under pressure and released through a pressure control valve. The system is confined to a small footprint and is useful as a nitrogen source where conventional compressed nitrogen tanks are a safety or space issue. Systems to prepare nitrogen infused beverages are also provided.

The present application provides a beverage dispensing system for providing a personalized sports drink with one or more additives based on biometric data. The beverage dispensing system may include an input section for the biometric data, an analytics section for analyzing the biometric data and providing a recipe for the personalized sports drink based upon the analysis, and a beverage dispenser for dispensing the personalized sports drink. The beverage dispenser may include a number of cartridges with the one or more additives therein.

The present application provides a micro-ingredient tower for filling a container with a number of different micro-ingredients. The micro-ingredient tower may include a number of micro-ingredient containers therein and a nozzle head. The nozzle head may include a number of dispensing needles therein such that each of the dispensing needles doses a micro-ingredient into the container.

A system is provided for dispensing and storing liquid, such as wine. The system may include a dip tube coupled to a flexible bladder in an airtight manner. The dip tube may include a dip tube head and a perforated dip tube extension extending from the dip tube head into the contents of the flexible bladder.

An overpack assembly and a method of making an overpack assembly is disclosed. The overpack assembly includes a liner positioned within an overpack. In one embodiment, the method includes making a liner including providing a first sheet including a fitment positioned over a second sheet, the first sheet attached to the second sheet along an attachment seam at an entire perimeter edge. The first sheet is pulled apart from the second sheet at a center of the liner, forming a three-dimensional liner with triangular wings. A vertical seam is formed across each triangular wing, the vertical seam being perpendicular to the attachment seam, where a length of the vertical seam corresponds to the height of the liner when in use. The liner is positioned within the overpack.
