Dispensing assembly and container with tap

Dispensing assembly for beverage from a container, comprising an outlet channel for beverage and a valve body operable to open and close said outlet channel, wherein the outlet channel defines a direction of flow of the beverage towards an outlet end, and wherein the valve body is provided at or near the outlet end of the outlet channel and has a shape with a base facing in a direction against the direction of flow and a tip with an end facing in the direction of flow, wherein the tip, between the base and the end, has an outwardly curved outer surface, such that beverage engaging the base can be guided from the base over the outer surface to the end forming a beverage jet when leaving the surface at or near said end, wherein the valve body is connected to a stem extending through the outlet channel, wherein in the outlet channel a chamber is provided, at least partly closed by a flexible membrane connected to the stem, wherein the membrane has an edge connected to a wall of the chamber, and wherein the stem is connected to the membrane spaced apart from the edge, wherein in use beverage received in said chamber will bias the valve body in a position closing the outlet channel, whereas by pressuring the membrane from an opposite side, the membrane can be deformed such that the valve body is moved to a position in which the outlet channel is open.

Dispensing assembly for beverage from a container, comprising an outlet channel for beverage and a valve body operable to open and close said outlet channel, wherein the outlet channel defines a direction of flow of the beverage towards an outlet end, and wherein the valve body is provided at or near the outlet end of the outlet channel and has a shape with a base facing in a direction against the direction of flow and a tip with an end facing in the direction of flow, wherein the tip, between the base and the end, has an outwardly curved outer surface, such that beverage engaging the base can be guided from the base over the outer surface to the end forming a beverage jet when leaving the surface at or near said end, wherein the assembly comprises a first housing part through which at least part of the outlet channel extends, and a further housing part, slidingly surrounding at least part of the first housing part, having a second channel in which the valve body extends.

Container, containing a pressurized beverage, connected to or provided with a dispensing assembly, the dispensing assembly comprising an outlet channel for beverage and a valve body operable to open and close said outlet channel, wherein the outlet channel defines a direction of flow of the beverage towards an outlet end, and wherein the valve body is provided at or near the outlet end of the outlet channel and has a shape with a base facing in a direction against the direction of flow and a tip with an end facing in the direction of flow, wherein the tip, between the base and the end, has an outwardly curved outer surface, such that beverage engaging the base can be guided from the base over the outer surface to the end forming a beverage jet when leaving the surface at or near said end, wherein the dispensing assembly further comprises an outlet channel closable by a valve body and a chamber between the container and the valve body, wherein the chamber is at least partly closed by a flexible membrane connected to the valve body, such that pressurized beverage from the container filling the chamber forces the membrane into a position biasing the valve body in a position closing the outlet channel and by pushing the membrane the valve body can be forced into a position opening the outlet channel.
