Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispenser with at least one cooled interior or receiving space for or with at least one beverage container and with at least one dispensing device having at least one dispensing device for dispensing the contents of the beverage container to a user.
- Such dispensers are known from the prior art. They have a cold room in which, for example, a beverage bottle or a beverage keg is located, and a dispensing device by means of which the drink can be issued to a user.
- the present invention is therefore the object of developing a dispensing system of the type mentioned in that the phenomenon of foaming over known devices can be reduced.
- the dispensing device is located within the cooled interior. This makes it possible to achieve that the foaming during the pin as well as during the connection process of the seal fitting or the dispensing device to the beverage container with respect to arrangements in which the dispensing device is not disposed within the cooled interior, is reduced even for drinks with high carbon dioxide content.
- the glasses to be dispensed into are also stored in the cooled interior and thus cooled.
- the cooled interior space thus preferably has a size such that one, two or more than two beverage containers, in particular champagne bottles, also one, two or more than two glasses, in particular champagne glasses, can be arranged therein.
- Another advantage of the arrangement of the dispensing device within the cooled interior is that the risk of contamination at the tap or at the dispensing device is much lower than when it is arranged in a non-cooled area.
- the dispensing system has at least one closure element, in particular at least one door or at least one flap, etc., and the operating side of the dispensing device is located on the same side as the closure element.
- the operating page is understood as meaning the side on which a user usually operates, who operates the dispensing device.

- a reduced pressure e.g. 4.5 bar
- This attachment is further associated with a hose 60 or the like with the dispensing device. Is operated by the user-side operation of the tap, the drink is due to the applied pressure to the dispensing device. Thus, directly to the bottle or on the Beverage container tapped. A special funding, such as. A pump or the like, is not available.
- the pressurization has not only the advantage that the beverage is conveyed from the beverage container to the dispensing device, but also the advantage that the composition of the beverage is not or at least negligibly changed during the time in the receiving space.
- the dispensing device 50 is oriented so that the operating side of the dispenser from the front, i. done from the side of the door. The user is thus on the side of the door and must open this, he would like to operate the dispenser 50.
- the door has a front side 17 and includes a frame 172 surrounding a plastic or glass plate 171. This transparent or translucent region allows an insight into the preferably illuminated interior and thus to the bottles 30.
- the dispenser 100 can be used, for example, as a wall, table or counter unit.
- the standing in front of the counter guest sees through the area 171 in the cooled interior 12 and in the receiving space 12 for the bottles and in particular on the bottles 30, which convey an inviting and appealing impression especially in the case of their lighting.
- the operator opens the door 17 and operates the dispenser 50.
- he can turn the device by means of a suitable swivel base, plate, ring, etc. on its vertical axis, so that in the figure in front lying transparent side facing back to the operator of the device.
