  • the actuating lever 3 mounted at 15 has three staggered ones Cam discs 16,17,18, which perform several functions.
  • Actuation of the lever 3 actuates the first cam 16 first via the nipple 9, the disinfection pump 6, which acts as a piston pump is formed, whereby the disinfectant in the disinfection channel 5 runs and disinfects the area 13 'of the fitting 13.
  • a disinfection line 21 is provided, which via a Disinfection pump 20 is connected to the disinfection line 7.
  • a Disinfection pump 20 is connected to the disinfection line 7.
  • the disinfectant at the bottom Outlet 22 of line 21 emerge and the lower one, not on the fitting Disinfect the open area of the dispensing head.
  • the third cam 18 moves over the upper end 19 'of the tappet 2 with gas and beverage line and presses it down into its seat against the CO 2 connection with the valve 12, so that the CO 2 connection 11 is opened and the Seal in the area of the fitting is also opened.
  • FIG. 4 in the stripped position of the dispensing head, the closure 14 closing the beverage closing valve on the lower side.
  • the conveying gas can then pass through the line 11 and the repelled valve 12 into the space 13 '.
  • FIG. 5 is a modified embodiment of the tap head according to presented the invention. There is none in this embodiment Disinfection channel in the middle of the beverage closing valve 4.
  • two disinfectant pumps 23, 24 are shown work against each other.
  • the left pump 23 conveys this Disinfectant in a line 25 arranged in the plunger in the Room 13 'and thus causes disinfection.
  • the right pump 24 conveys the disinfectant via a further line 26 Room 13 '.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show a further possible embodiment of the Dispensing head shown according to the invention.
  • the lever 3 operates there
  • the tappet 30 'via a further cam disc 27, which is located inside Disinfection channel 29 has that with the disinfection line 7th connected is.
  • the plunger 30 has a seal 31 in the outer region connected.
  • the cam disc 27 presses the Tappet 30 and the plunger 30 'down so that the seal 31st and the plunger 30 'are pressed onto the fitting 33 (FIG. 6).
  • the cam disc 32 presses the beverage tappet 28 onto the Seal plate 34 against the pressure of the spring 35 down.
  • the beer can flow through a special bore 36 into space 37 and over the line 10 are led into the bar (Fig. 7).
  • the conveyor gas can then through the line 11 and the repelled valve 12 in the Arrive in room 13 and arrange for the beverage to be conveyed.
