Abstract

Systems and devices for cooling and dispensing a beverage fluid are disclosed herein. One beverage dispensing system includes a beverage tower comprising a tower body, a shank, and a faucet. In some implementations, a coolant line is routed proximal to a beverage supply line through the tower body, through the shank, and into the faucet. In these and other implementations, the faucet includes a removable nozzle having a supplemental portion of the coolant line. In these and still other implementations, the faucet include a removable nozzle having a second coolant line. The coolant line and the second coolant line are configured to transport a coolant medium proximal to a beverage fluid in the beverage supply line to maintain or adjust the temperature of the beverage fluid. Many other features are described herein.

Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate to a beverage dispenser structural body (10) and a beverage dispenser having such a structural body. The structural body (10) has a base section (12) configured for fixing to a surface. A riser section (14) is pivotally connected at its lower end to the base section (12) and is arranged for pivotal movement relative to the base section (12). A first positioning device (24) is provided which enables the riser section (14) to be positioned at one of a plurality of discreet angles along its pivotal movement. The first positioning device (24) includes a fastener (22) to secure the riser section (14) at one of the discreet angles. The base section (12) and/or the riser section (14) have indicia on them which provide, in dependence on the angle of the riser section (14), information relating to the correct use of the fastener (22). A beverage dispenser is also provided which includes the structural body (10)
