Dispensing assembly comprising a container, containing a pressurized beverage, connected to or provided with a dispense assembly, wherein the dispense assembly comprises an outlet channel closable by a valve body and a chamber between the container and the valve body, which chamber is at least partly closed by a movable and/or deformable wall part connected to the valve body or a valve seat, such that pressurized beverage from the container filling the chamber forces the wall part, into a position biasing the valve body or the valve seat in a position closing the outlet channel and by pushing the wall part the valve body or the valve seat can be forced into a position opening the outlet channel, wherein preferably at least during use there is an open connection between said chamber and a beverage compartment of the container.
A dispensing assembly comprising a container, containing a pressurized beverage, connected to or provided with a dispense assembly, wherein the dispense assembly comprises an outlet channel closable by a valve body and a chamber between the container and the valve body, which chamber is at least partly closed by a movable and/or deformable wall part connected to the valve body or a valve seat, such that pressurized beverage from the container filling the chamber forces the movable and/or deformable wall part, into a position biasing the valve body and/or the valve seat in a position closing the outlet channel and by pushing the movable and/or deformable wall part the valve body and/or the valve seat can be forced into a position opening the outlet channel, wherein the movable and/or deformable wall part has a surface area in said chamber, in contact with the beverage, which surface area is larger than the cross sectional surface area of the valve body in contact with the beverage when closing off against the valve seat, closing off the beverage channel.
A dispense assembly for pressurized 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 upstream of the valve body a chamber is provided, connected to the outlet channel, having a movable and/or deformable wall part and connected to the valve body or valve seat, wherein the movable and/or deformable wall part has a surface area in said chamber, for contact with the beverage, which surface area is larger than the cross sectional surface area of the valve body in contact with the beverage when closing off against the valve seat, closing off the beverage channel.
