<p>The dispenser for automatic drinks machines includes a container for the ingredients which are to be dispensed and a valve (2) for controlling this supply. The valve and the container are built as an integral unit which can be thrown away and replaced when empty thereby avoiding complicated cleaning of the machine. The valve contains a member moved between an open position in which the ingredients are dispensed and a closed position in which it is held under the force of gravity when correctly mounted in the machine. The container for the ingredients (12) is provided with a neck (6) and the valve is fitted with a valve support sleeve, with the neck and this sleeve each having an engagement unit such as an annular groove and resilient fingers by means of which the neck and sleeve can be snapped together.</p> |
