REMOVABLE SYRUP PACKAGE A removable package for dispensing syrup in a post-mix soft drink dispensing system and an actuated closure mechanism therefor. The package comprises an upper body portion from which a lower discharge portion extends outwardly therefrom and which includes a generally horizontal discharge port. The closure assembly is comprised of a movable outer cap member pivotally attached to a facing member. The facing member fits over the discharge port and includes a syrup outlet opening and an air inlet opening therein. The cap member includes means for closing off both openings when in contact with the facing member. An actuator including a spring biased roller contacts the cap member such that when a dispensing operation is required, the cap member is swung outwardly by means of the roller away from the facing member, exposing the syrup outlet and air inlet openings. When the dispensing operation is completed, the roller urges the cap member back into contact with the facing member to reseal the openings therein. |
