Multiflavour beverage dispensing nozzle and dispenser using same

摘要

A multiflavor beverage dispensing nozzle (50) includes a water inlet (68); two syrup inlets (66); a main water flow path (101) through the nozzle (50); and two syrup flow paths through the nozzle (50), one in fluid communication with each syrup inlet (66), each terminating in a syrup discharge port (112). In one aspect the water flow path (101) is shaped to cause the water to discharge from the nozzle (50) in a sheet form, preferably in an annular shape, and the syrup discharge ports (112) include a syrup deflector (110) cause the syrup to fan out as it exits the discharge port (112) so that it impinges on the sheet of water. In another aspect the nozzle (50) includes two secondary water flow paths that each divert water from the main flow path and discharge the diverted water through the syrup discharge ports (112). A beverage dispenser (10) utilizes the multiflavor beverage dispensing nozzles (50) incorporating one or both of the forgoing aspects.
