  • the actuators 8, 80 may be integral but also be made of several parts form-fitting or non-positive with each other.
  • the support block 48 may for example be designed or manufactured differently.
  • the support block 48 is inserted into the body 40 via the opening 7 or the rear opening receiving the pipe socket and secured thereto by, for example, an adhesive or welding operation connected. If the body 40 is manufactured as an injection-molded part, then it is understood that the support block 48 is produced monolithically with the body 40.
  • the support block 48 can also, unlike shown, be provided on a bent sheet, which is introduced into the body 40 and at the same time allows a determination of the actuating element 8, 80 in the body 4, 40.
  • the designated by the reference numerals 30 to 32 parts of the actuating lever 9 may also form a part.
  • the body 40 of the device 10 according to the invention can also be made in two parts, in which case a part of the body is first attached to the outer wall 5 of a dispensing device for mounting.
  • the tap actuator 1 or 10 may also be other than described or on the basis of Fig. 7a . 8th . 10 shown attached to the output device 60.
  • a releasable attachment is preferably provided.
  • screws can be screwed into corresponding holes on the front side of the collar portion 41 with the door 68 open from the inside 68b forth and thus the body 40 are fixed to the door 68. It is understood that the positioning of holes and screws with respect to the door 68 and the body 40 can be interchanged.
  • the dispenser 60 may also comprise a hollow body-like base 61 in which a canister for receiving liquid discharged inside the dispenser 60 is provided.
  • a bore is provided in a bottom plate of the housing 62, through which protrudes an outlet nozzle, which opens into the canister.
  • the canister may preferably be sized to be sufficient to hold the entire amount of liquid of a full-filled bag. In such a case, therefore, a burst or tearing or other damage to the bag and the subsequent liquid leakage with respect to the contamination of the housing 62 can be compensated by a corresponding collection of the liquid in the canister.
  • the dispensing device according to the invention can be configured in a simple design without cooling. This is the case, for example, when non-refrigerated liquids such as water, red or port should be served by using the dispenser 60.
  • the size of the housing 62 of the dispenser 60 and / or the at least one receptacle 70, 90, 100 may be adapted to different bag sizes, such as 5, 10, or 30 liters.
  • the output device 60 according to the invention can also only with one of the in the Fig. 8 lower receiving device 90 corresponding to be equipped to accommodate a larger container with a larger bag. In such a case, in the in Fig. 8 upper opening 78 of the door 68 a blind plug can be used.
  • a residual emptying can also be carried out in other ways than by the described spring plates 84, 86. It is conceivable about a one-sided storage of the receiving device 70 in the housing. An adjustment mimic positioned opposite the bearing can then provide a total or even only its plate-like bottom element 74 for an inclined position of the receiving device 70. It is also possible, the at least one receiving device 70, 90, 100 slidably provided in the housing 62 and to store.
  • the base 61 may be both detachably connected to the housing 62 and integrated with the housing 62.
