Soft drink dispenser

A syrup dispensing system for a soft drink dispenser, comprising:

• a pour head;
• a bulk supply of syrup;
• first means comprising a chamber interconnected between said pour head and said bulk supply for receiving syrup from said bulk supply and dispensing said syrup through said pour head;
• control means connected to said first means for controlling said receipt of syrup by said first means from said bulk supply and said dispensing of syrup through said pour head:
• a source of pressurization in operative communication with said chamber and controlled by said control means;
• and
• temperature sensing means within said chamber and in communication with said control means, said control means regulating said source of pressurization to generate a pressure head within said chamber as a function of temperature of syrup within said chamber.

A syrup dispensing system for a soft drink dispenser, comprising:

• a pour head;
• a bulk supply of syrup;
• first means comprising a chamber interconnected between said pour head and said bulk supply for receiving syrup from said bulk supply and dispensing said syrup through said pour head;
• control means connected to said first means for controlling said receipt of syrup by said first means from said bulk supply and said dispensing of syrup through said pour head;
• a source of pressurization in operative communication with said chamber and controlled by said control means;
• and
• temperature sensing means within said pour head and in communication with said control means, said control means regulating said source of pressurization to generate a pressure head within said chamber as a function of temperature at said pour head.

A beverage dispenser, comprising:

• a pour head;
• first means for dispensing a soda through said pour head;
• second means for dispensing a flavoring syrup through said pour head;
• and
• control means interconnected between said first and second means for regulating timed periods of dispensing said soda and flavoring syrup through said pour head during a single uninterrupted dispensing cycle to obtain a desired drink, said control means establishing first time periods during which only soda is dispensed, second time periods during which soda and syrup are dispensed concurrently, and third time periods during which only syrup is dispensed during said dispensing cycle.

A beverage dispenser, comprising:

• a pour head;
• first means for dispensing a soda through said pour head;
• second means for dispensing a flavoring syrup through said pour head;
• control means interconnected between said first and second means for regulating timed periods of dispensing said soda and flavoring syrup through said pour head during a dispensing cycle to obtain a desired drink;
• wherein said second means comprises a pump for each of a plurality of flavoring syrups, each pump connected to a bulk supply of an associated flavoring syrup through an input conduit, and means for pressurizing said pump connected to and controlled by said control means, each said pump including means connected to said control means for monitoring the temperature of syrup within said pump;
• and
• pressure regulating means interconnected between said means for pressurizing and said pumps, and controlled by said control means to regulate a pressure head to said pumps as a function of the temperature of said syrup.
