Beverage dispensers with dual flow dispensing valves

A beverage dispensing valve comprising:

• a manifold configured to receive and dispense a first liquid and a second liquid, the manifold has a first flow channel through which the first liquid is conveyed and a second flow channel through which the second liquid is conveyed;
• a first shutoff assembly has a valve seal on a leg disposed in the first flow channel, the leg is movable into and between a closed position in which the valve seal blocks the flow of the first liquid through the first flow channel and an open position in which the valve seal is in an open position such that the first liquid flows through the first flow channel;
• a second shutoff assembly has a valve seal on a leg disposed in the second flow channel, the leg is movable into and between a closed position in which the valve seal blocks the flow of the second liquid through the second flow channel and an open position in which the valve seal is in an open position such that the second liquid flows through the second flow channel;
• a handle assembly coupled to the first shutoff assembly and the second shutoff assembly;
• a dispensing arm coupled to the first shutoff assembly and the second shutoff assembly;
• wherein movement of one of the handle assembly and the dispensing arm moves the leg of the first shutoff assembly and the leg of the second shutoff assembly into the open position such that the first liquid and the second liquid flow through the first and second flow channels and the first and second liquids mix downstream to form a mixed beverage;
• and
• wherein movement of the handle assembly in a first direction moves the leg of the first shutoff assembly and the leg of the second shutoff assembly in a second direction opposite the first direction and pivots the dispensing arm from a rest position toward an open position.

• a first shutoff assembly has a valve seal on a leg disposed in the first flow channel and an arm pivotally coupled to and extending transverse to the leg, wherein the leg is movable into and between a closed position in which the valve seal blocks the flow of the first liquid through the first flow channel and an open position in which the valve seal is open such that the first liquid dispenses from the first flow channel;
• a second shutoff assembly has a valve seal on a leg disposed in the second flow channel and an arm pivotally coupled to and extending transverse to the leg, wherein the leg is movable into and between a closed position in which the valve seal blocks the flow of the second liquid through the second flow channel and an open position in which the valve seal is open such that the second liquid dispenses from the second flow channel;
• and
• a handle assembly coupled to both the arm of the first shutoff assembly and the arm of the second shutoff assembly whereby movement of the handle assembly in a first direction moves the leg of the first shutoff assembly into the open position and the leg of the second shutoff assembly into the open position such that the first liquid dispenses from the first flow channel, the second liquid dispenses from the second flow channel, and the first and second liquids mix to form a mixed beverage.
