Abstract
A refrigerated dispenser for beverages includes a housing, a solid state cooling assembly in the housing, a container member which is receivable in the housing and a discharge assembly including a neck portion which extends outwardly from the container member and a valve on the neck portion. The housing comprises first and second housing sections including peripheral edge portions having opposed open notches therein, and the housing sections are movable between an open position wherein the peripheral edge portions are separated and a closed position wherein the peripheral edge portions are received in mating relation, and the notches define an aperture in the housing. The container member and the discharge assembly are receivable in the housing so that when the housing sections are in the closed positions thereof, the neck portion extends through the aperture and the valve is disposed on the exterior of the housing so that it can be manipulated for discharging a beverage from the container member.
