Beverage container provided with a dispensing valve with improved operating means and anti-drip means
First Claim
1. A beverage container, provided with a dispensing valve and a dispensing channel connected to said dispensing valve, wherein an operating arm is provided including, in a position of rest, an angle with a plane at right angles to a longitudinal axis of the dispensing valve, wherein a pressure body is provided between the pivoting arm and said valve, such that, upon a pivotal movement of the arm from said position of rest, the pressure body is moved and the valve is opened by the pressure body, wherein the pressure body is provided with a connecting means for coupling it to the valve, such that a channel in the pressure body on the one hand, is in fluid communication with a passage of the valve and, on the other hand, is or can be brought in fluid communication with the dispensing channel, wherein a housing part is arranged at least partly over the pressure body and is secured on the container, wherein the pivoting arm is pivotally connected to the housing part and has a pressure surface abutting the pressure body, at least during pushing down of the pressure body in or towards a position opening the valve.
