DISPENSING HEAD, BEVERAGE DISPENSING SYSTEM, METHODS OF ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION OF THE DISPENSING HEAD Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B67D1/08 

FIELD: dispensing device.

SUBSTANCE: dispensing head is to be mounted on a beverage container having an extraction tube with a valve. The beverage container or extraction tube has a radially extending flange. The dispensing head allows the beverage present in the beverage container to be dispensed through a dispensing line connected to the dispensing head. The dispensing head has an axial extent. The dispensing head comprises an outer shell containing a first cut configured to receive at least a dispensing line and/or a gas inlet. The outer shell is movable along the axial extent between the first position and the second position. In addition, the dispensing head contains a fixed inner part located inside the outer shell. The first surface of the fixed inner part is configured to abut against the flange and be fixed in the axial direction with respect to the flange. The fixed inner part has a first end and a second end facing the beverage container. The fixed inner part has a wall part at the second end. The dispensing head also contains a valve activation part at least partially passing inside the fixed inner part and configured to move in the axial extent relative to the fixed inner part to activate the valve, and a handle rotatable around the pivot point at the first end of the fixed inner part to move between the deactivated position and the activated position, to move the activation part of the valve to activate the valve. The dispensing head further comprises a blocking block located at the second end of the stationary inner part. The blocking block is located at a distance from the first surface and configured for radial displacement during movement of the outer shell from the first position to the second position, thus ensuring that the flange is locked along the axial extent. The dispensing head also further comprises a locking block configured to lock the outer shell relative to the stationary inner portion in at least a second position of the outer shell.

EFFECT: creation of the improved dispensing head that can fit several types of extraction tube systems and at the same time is easy to use.
