US 2007/0175908 A1 · Beverage dispensing system pressurized release liquid USPA2

Abstract

A liquid beverage dispensing system having a specialized sealed container and a tube which extends from a top of the container and terminates just before the floor of the container. The tube has a one way valve that allows liquid to come up and out of the container when the valve is opened. Before the valve is opened the liquid may be a carbonated liquid under pressure. Then the valve opens upon the user's action, such as, sucking or squeezing the nipple. When the valve is opened the pressure inside of the container exerted by rising or trapped air bubbles exerts a downward force on the liquid below. The downward force thereby pushes the liquid below into and up the tube and into the user's mouth. The one way valve having unique form characteristics to permit this operation and permit other operations.
