A pressure regulating system for a beverage container system, comprising a first, compartment for containing a pressurized gas, in fluid communication with an outlet space through at least a gas valve for opening and closing a passage between the first compartment and the outlet space, wherein a gas valve control system is provided, comprising a deformable and/or movable wall or wall part of said outlet space, wherein said deformable and/or movable wall part is operably in contact with said gas valve for opening and/or closing said gas valve, wherein a second compartment is provided at a side of the said deformable and/or movable wall part opposite the outlet space, wherein the second compartment is in fluid communication with a third compartment, which third compartment comprises at least one separating wall part and is at least liquid tight.

Pressure regulating system for a beverage container and beverage container provided therewith

Dispensing assembly comprising a container, containing a pressurized beverage, connected to or provided with a dispense assembly, wherein the dispense assembly comprises an outlet channel closable by a valve body and a chamber between the container and the valve body, which chamber is at least partly closed by a movable and/or deformable wall part connected to the valve body or a valve seat, such that pressurized beverage from the container filling the chamber forces the wall part, into a position biasing the valve body or the valve seat in a position closing the outlet channel and by pushing the wall part the valve body or the valve seat can be forced into a position opening the outlet channel, wherein preferably at least during use there is an open connection between said chamber and a beverage compartment of the container.

Beverage dispensing assembly and tap

Dispensing assembly () comprising a container (), containing a pressurized beverage, connected to or provided with a dispense assembly, wherein the dispense assembly comprises an outlet channel () closable by a valve body () and a chamber () between the container () and the valve body (), which chamber () is at least partly closed by a movable and/or deformable wall part () connected to the valve body () or a valve seat, such that pressurized beverage from the container filling the chamber forces the wall part (), into a position biasing the valve body () or the valve seat in a position closing the outlet channel () and by pushing the wall part the valve body () or the valve seat can be forced into a position opening the outlet channel (), wherein preferably at least during use there is an open connection between said chamber () and a beverage compartment of the container ().

Dispensing assembly () for beverage from a container (), comprising an outlet channel () for beverage and a valve body () operable to open and close said outlet channel (), wherein the channel defines a direction of flow of the beverage towards an outlet end (), and wherein the valve body () is provided at or near the outlet end () of the outlet channel () and has a shape with a base () facing in a direction against the direction of flow and a tip () with an end facing in the direction of flow, wherein the tip, between the base and the end, has an outwardly curved outer surface (), such that beverage engaging the base () can be guided from the base over the outer surface () to the end forming a beverage jet when leaving the surface at or near said end.
