Claims20
A carbonated water dispensing apparatus comprising:
- a bracket on the water dispensing apparatus comprising a manifold having a threaded aperture for accepting a threaded head on a carbon dioxide tank, wherein the bracket comprises an axis of rotation that rotates to provide access to the threaded aperture for disposing the carbon dioxide tank therein
- wherein the path of travel of the pressurized gas through the manifold from the carbon dioxide tank, when attached to the threaded aperture, is transverse the axis of rotation of the bracket.
A method of attaching a carbon dioxide tank to a carbonated water dispensing apparatus comprising the steps of:
- providing a carbonated water dispensing apparatus comprising a bracket on the water dispensing apparatus comprising a manifold having a threaded aperture for accepting a threaded head on a carbon dioxide tank, wherein the bracket comprises an axis of rotation that rotates to provide access to the threaded aperture for disposing the carbon dioxide tank therein, wherein the path of travel of the pressurized gas through the manifold is transverse the axis of rotation of the bracket;
- rotating the bracket and the threaded aperture to access the threaded aperture on the manifold;
- attaching the threaded head on the carbon dioxide tank to the threaded aperture on the manifold;
- and
- rotating the bracket, the threaded aperture on the manifold and the carbon dioxide tank so that the carbon dioxide tank rotates toward the carbonated water dispensing apparatus.
