20230192468 · 2023-06-22 ·

A dispenser system includes a first container configured to contain a first fluid, a second container configured to contain a second fluid, a faucet coupled with the first container and the second container via first and second hoses, respectively, and including first and second switches installed on the faucet, and a controller configured to control dispensing of the first and second fluids through the faucet. When the first switch is turned on while the second switch is turned off, the controller dispenses the first fluid to the faucet through the first hose. When the first switch is turned off while the second switch is turned on, the controller dispenses the second fluid to the faucet through the second hose. The dispenser system is configured and dimensioned to prevent cross contamination between the first and second hoses.

Empty keg detection for carbonated beverages
11673787 · 2023-06-13 · ·

A system and method detection of an empty keg is provided. Carbonated beverages from a keg communicates a carbonated alcoholic beverage to a Foam on Beer (FOB) detector. The FOB forms a reservoir and containing a float. Level detection sensors in operative communication with the float identifies the position and movement of the float. An keg's status can thereby be anticipated by float level and speed changes. A the FOB status can thereby operate a touchless tap including a control valve via a tap control board (TCB) that actuates the control valve. A controller in operative communication with the TCB communicates with the control valve, the actuation button and in communication with the level sensor.

LIQUID DISPENSING HEAD

A dispense head is removably joined to a bottle, such as a wine bottle, by having a hollow cylinder extend into the bottle and on one end sealed to a neck of the bottle with gasket means for sealing the bottle in a gas tight manner and supporting the bottle, allowing the bottle to hang from the dispense head. In one embodiment a set of annular gaskets of different diameters may be provided for bottles of different neck sizes.
