<p>A beverage dispensing arrangement has a number of bottles (12) placed upside down with their necks inserted in sockets (4) around a rotating platform (2) with a sloping surface (1) incorporating the sockets. The contents of the highest bottle discharge through a hole (7) at the bottom of the socket into a channel (16) under the sloping surface. This channel terminates in a delivery tube (11) to which a spout (13) is attached, fitted with a handle (10) forming a tap. To enable liquid to be discharged from the bottle, an air tube (16) extending upwards inside the highest bottle is connected by a pipe (14) underneath the platform, to atmosphere. A collar (7) on the platform projects upwards inside the socket (4), carrying a sealing ring (9) to fit against the rim of the bottle neck.</p> |
