A mixing nozzle () for mixing a concentrate and a diluent and dispensing the mixture is disclosed. The mixing nozzle includes: a concentrate conduit including a concentrate inlet port () and a concentrate outlet port () and a concentrate flowpath () therebetween, the conduit defining the longitudinal axis (XX') of the mixing nozzle; a toroidal chamber () around said concentrate conduit having a water inlet conduit () tangentially disposed with respect thereto to create a swirling of the water in said chamber, said toroidal chamber presenting multiple openings () at the bottom wall of the toroidal chamber to create multiple flows of diluent around the concentrate outlet port (); an assembly of multiple radially projecting ribs () provided downstream to the multiple openings () of the toroidal chamber, the ribs being curved at their downstream ends () towards the mixing nozzle longitudinal axis (XX&#x2032;).

Mixing nozzle

The invention concerns a beverage production device () having a first dissolution chamber (), said first dissolution chamber being configured for producing a beverage by mixing a beverage concentrate and a diluent and having: &#x2014;at least one diluent inlet () and&#x2014;at least one liquid delivery outlet (), &#x2014;a bottom wall (), the at least one liquid delivery outlet () being set in said bottom wall, wherein the device has a second dilution chamber (), said second dilution chamber having: &#x2014;a top wall (), and&#x2014;at least one liquid inlet () through the top wall, said liquid inlet being the liquid delivery outlet () of the first dissolution chamber, and&#x2014;at least one diluent inlet () configured for introducing a diluent in the second dilution chamber and mixing said diluent with the liquid flowing from the at least one liquid inlet () through the top wall.

Dispenser for producing beverages by dissolution of a soluble ingredient

A device for dispensing a liquid is connectable to a container containing the liquid and detachably connectable to a base station having a drive member, the device including a liquid duct and a pump actuated by the drive member for effecting passage of liquid through the duct, characterized in that the device includes a cutter for piercing a tamper resistant foil positioned across the outlet of the container and that a push pin for actuating the cutter is operable from outside the device.

Device for dispensing a liquid

The present disclosure provides a base station for a liquid dispensing apparatus. The base station includes a driver and a container support having a dispensing device, which includes a liquid duct leading from the container to an outlet. The device further includes a connector connected to the driver and detachably connectable to the dispensing device. In an embodiment, the container support is a holder, and the connector is movable towards the holder to connect to the dispensing device and away from the holder after disconnecting from the dispensing device.

A beverage dispenser, including a whipper disk and a dispensing spout connected downstream to the housing for dispensing the whipped beverage mixture. A sieve is disposed within the dispensing spout and is configured for reducing the number of large bubbles present within the fluid over a predetermined size. An output plate covers a downstream end of the dispensing spout and has a plurality of holes formed therein for reducing the velocity of the whipped beverage mixture through the dispensing spout.
