Abstract

PURPOSE: To semiautomatically perform a work for pouring liquid drink into a container by a method wherein a container is put on a base board under conditions that a raising force is imparted to a lifting device, and when liquid drink is poured into the container from a pour nozzle and the weight of the container exceeds a certain value, the base board is allowed to descend. CONSTITUTION: In a container receiving device, which is disposed below a nozzle of a dispenser for beer, for pouring beer into a mug, firstly a stopper member 41 is removed to allow a base board 24 to be moved to a top position, as shown by imaginary lines, by the force of a coiled spring 37 and an empty mug is placed on the board 24. And a lever of the dispenser is actuated to pour beer and when a certain quantity of beer has been poured into the mug, the board 24 together with the mug is lowered, under their own weights, against the spring 37. When the board 24 is lowered, an engaging step 42 of the member 41 is put into an engaged state by the action of spring, immediately after which the lever 49 is returned to stop pouring of beer.
