Abstract: A beverage dispensing apparatus is shown for filling multiple containers at a beverage dispensing station located adjacent a walk-in beverage cooler. A housing is mounted on an upright exterior wall of the walk-in cooler. The housing has top, bottom and interconnecting side walls. One of the side walls is mounted flush with the cooler upright wall and is provided with a wall duct which communicates with the interior of the walk-in cooler. The bottom wall of the housing is provided with beverage dispensing openings which are selectively positioned for dispensing beverages into a plurality of containers located below the bottom wall. A plurality of transfer lines are connected at one end to a source of pressurized beverage inside the walk-in cooler. The opposite ends of the lines pass through the wall duct into the housing and run to the beverage dispensing openings for dispensing beverage into the containers located below the bottom wall. Pinch valves located within the housing control the simultaneous flow of beverage through the lines to the dispensing openings. A blower mounted on the interior upright wall of the walk-in cooler opposite the housing circulates cool air from within the walk-in cooler, through the wall duct, and into the interior of the housing to cool the beverage being transferred through the beverage transfer lines.

Abstract translation: 示出了饮料分配装置，用于在位于步入式饮料冷却器附近的饮料分配站处填充多个容器。 外壳安装在步入式冷却器的直立外墙上。 外壳具有顶部，底部和互连的侧壁。 一个侧壁与冷却器的直立壁齐平地安装，并且设置有与进入式冷却器的内部连通的壁管道。 壳体的底壁设置有饮料分配开口，其被选择性地定位成将饮料分配到位于底壁下方的多个容器中。 多个输送管线在一端连接到步入式冷却器内的加压饮料源。 线的相对端通过壁管道进入壳体并运行到饮料分配开口，用于将饮料分配到位于底壁下方的容器中。 位于壳体内的夹紧阀控制饮料通过管线同时流到分配开口。 安装在与壳体相对的步入式冷却器的内部直立壁上的鼓风机将冷却空气从步入式冷却器内部通过壁管道循环并进入壳体的内部，以冷却通过饮料转移传递的饮料 线条。
