Definitions

  • This invention relates in one aspect to a beverage promotion device and, in another aspect, to a beverage dispensing device.
  • a font normally comprising an upright pedestal with a top section carrying at least one dispensing tap appropriate to the beverage(s) to be dispensed from the font
  • plastic piping conveying the beverage(s) passes upwardly through the pedestal, and it is known to chill the pedestal internally to cause the formation of ice crystals externally on the pedestal.
  • a basic object of the invention is the provision of an improved device.
  • a point of sale beverage promotion device comprising:
  • a beverage dispensing device comprising:
  • the two aspects of the invention provide a device whereby, with the representation of the distinctive feature taking the form of say a pint glass, filled with the beverage being promoted, ice crystals are formed, not only on the base, but also on a lower portion of the 'glass' to convey the impression of an ice-chilled beverage to a prospective customer.
  • the representation of a distinctive feature appropriate to the beverage is a beverage container.
  • the representation of a distinctive feature appropriate to the beverage is an orange, if orange juice is the beverage to be dispensed.
  • the support structure is of synthetic plastics material.
  • the support structure comprises two skins with an interposed membrane of synthetic plastics foam.
  • the support structure comprises a back plate intended, in use, to be located vertically and an integral, lower support shelf projecting forwardly of the back plate and on which, the chamber is seated, with the representation located against the back plate.
  • the container and the chamber are semi-circular in plan.
  • the chamber is metallic.
  • the chamber is located at a lower portion of the point of sale beverage promotion device, or on a lower portion of the rigid support structure.
  • the representation is of synthetic plastics.
  • the representation of the container takes the form of a glass, a can or a tankard or a portion thereof.
  • the liquid coolant is a mixture of water and ethylene glycol.
  • the liquid coolant is supplied from a chilling unit incorporating an electric motor and pump.
  • a point of sale beverage promotion device 1 comprises a metallic chamber 2 located at a lower portion of the device 1, with a representation 3 of a distinctive feature appropriate to the beverage being promoted - typically in the form of a beer glass - constituting an extension of the chamber 2 and partly of synthetic plastics material.
  • the chamber 2 is provided with liquid coolant connection 4 and 6, for coolant supply and return pipes (not shown) connected to a chilling unit (not shown).
  • the temperature of the coolant entering the chamber 2 is so arranged that ice crystals 8 form over a lower zone 9, embracing not only the chamber 2, but also a lower portion of the representation 3 of the beer glass , due to heat migration from the surface of the representation 3 and the chamber 2.
  • a zone 10 of the representation 3 which is so distant from the chamber 2 as to be free of ice crystals 8, so that prospective customers can view a beverage 11 through the representation 3.
  • the device 1 is mounted on a rigid support structure 12 comprising two skins of synthetic plastics material with an interposed membrane of synthetic plastics foam to provide a back plate 13 and a support shelf 14 projecting forwardly of the back plate 13, on which shelf 14 the chamber 2 is seated, with the support structure 12 secured to a bar top 15 by manually operable screw clamps (not shown).
  • the device 1 is rendered a dispensing device by the provision of a dispensing tap 16, with a beverage supply pipe (not shown).
