<p>A beverage dispensing apparatus, for receiving a generally planar filter pack with a flanged nozzle, has a pack handling means which includes a door housing (2), a door (4) pivotable to the housing and upper and lower door flaps (6, 8) pivotable to the door. An interlock mechanism prevents pivoting of the flaps when the door is open to limit the gap into which a filter pack can be inserted. With the filter pack correctly located against the flaps and door, and the door closed, the interlock is released and the filter pack is transferred to a beverage dispensing station within the apparatus.</p> |
