Casks and like containers

摘要

A cask or container for dispensing liquid under pressure is of the type having a top housing with a bung hole therein and an extractor tube extending into the container and in which a top fitting is attached to the housing with means operative thereon to bring a gas introduction passage into communication with one part of the housing and a beverage outlet passage in to communication with the top of the extractor tube. The arrangement of the invention is such that pilferage from the container is reduced, achieved by welding the housing directly to the cask and arranging for the extractor tube to be withdrawn through the top of the housing with a sealing means arranged so that it can be upset and removed. The opening in the top of the housing is arranged to permit passage of the sealing means and extractor tube which is threadably engaged by a lower part of the housing for extraction by means of a special tool.
