Abstract
A bar gun assembly for receiving a multiplicity of fluid carrying tubes carrying a multiplicity of fluids, for example, flavored syrup and soda water, therein. The bar gun assembly has a handle having a handle body. The handle body is a multiplicity of ports and fluid channels therein. A supply line connector assembly engages the supply lines and the handle body. A backing plate assembly engages openings in the fluid chambers of the handle body to seal fluid therein. A nozzle assembly engages at least some of the fluid channels in the handle. The backing plate has a multiplicity of O-ring retainers fixedly engaged therewith.
Claims18
A bar gun assembly for receiving a multiplicity of fluid carrying tubes carrying a multiplicity of fluids therein, the bar gun assembly comprising:
- a handle having a handle body, and having a multiplicity of ports and a multiplicity of fluid channels therein, and having a multiplicity of cylindrical fluid chambers having fluid chamber openings;
- a connector engaging the fluid carrying tubes to the handle body;
- a backing plate assembly for engaging the openings in the fluid chambers;
- wherein the backing plate assembly includes a base having a multiplicity of sealing members fixedly attached thereto, each sealing member having an elastomeric portion adapted to engage the fluid chamber openings and a base attachment portion, each sealing member aligned with each of the multiplicity of fluid chamber openings of the handle body, for fluid sealing receipt there into;
- and
- a nozzle for engaging at least some of the fluid channels of the handle and for dispensing fluid into a container.
