Abstract
A beverage dispenser having a flow-actuated sensing member positioned within a dispensing line thereof and which is operative to sense and record the dispensing of preselected volumes of a beverage. Fundamentally, the invention includes a switch positioned within the flow line and actuated by the flow of the beverage to enable timing circuits which determine the volume of beverage dispensed based upon the time of dispensing. Actual control of the timing and recording circuitry is achieved by sensing of the beverage flow rather than by operator-actuated elements.
