<p>A filter element is provided at the inlet of a spigot (14) for dispensing beverages from a reservoir or cooler (12). Prior beverage dispenser filters were difficult to replace. The present filter mechanism preferably includes an open, cup-shaped member (18) which is desirably threaded to the inlet shaft (22) of the spigot to act as a fastener for mounting the spigot to the reservoir. The filter element (20) is quickly insertable into and removable from the filter receiving means (18) by means of a push fit. The preferred filter element includes two apertured end walls (34 and 32"), filter paper (38) positioned immediately adjacent the inner faces of each of the apertured end plates, and activated charcoal (40) between the filter paper. </p> |
