    Abstract: A pour spout, for attaching to a bottle, has a first wireless transceiver and a valve for selectively controlling flow of a beverage from the bottle. A server interface, adapted to be carried by a person who serves beverages, has a second wireless transceiver. A control unit is provided to wirelessly communicate with the second transceiver. In one mode, the pour spout transmits a spout identifier to the server interface, which responds by transmitting the spout identifier and a server identifier to the control unit. The control unit responds with a reply transmission causing the server interface to command the pour spout to open the valve. In another mode, a person selects a cocktail, that results in the control unit sending designations of a plurality of liquor ingredients to the server interface. The server interface controls dispensing each of the plurality of liquor ingredients.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a tapping device for at least one bag-in-carton package equipped with a tapping valve. The tapping device has a housing for receiving the bag-in-carton package and an actuating unit which corresponds with the tapping valve and which has a valve-receiving bearing and at least one actuating portion for actuating the tapping valve. The actuating portion is articulated on the valve-receiving bearing by a pivot pin, has an upwardly directed lever arm and is arranged completely within the housing. Upstream of a contact region which is situated above the pivot pin on the lever arm there is arranged an actuating portion which engages through the housing and acts on the lever arm in the contact region in order to actuate the tapping valve by way of the actuating portion and can be actuated manually from outside the housing. The invention further relates to the actuating unit and to a cassette for the tapping device.

    Abstract: A filling element for filling containers with a lumpy liquid filler includes a liquid valve that is arranged in a liquid channel in an interior of a filling element housing and that is formed by a first valve surface, cooperating with a first valve seat, on a valve body that is movable along a filling-element axis to open and close the liquid valve, and that comprises at least two dispensing openings on filler flow channels, the dispensing openings forming a filler outlet. The filler flow channels are in flow communication with the liquid channel and with each other when the liquid valve is open and are separated from each other and from the liquid channel when the liquid valve is closed. The element also includes a separate valve arrangement that separates the filler flow channels from each other in flow terms when the liquid valve is closed.
