Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present application provides a dispensing nozzle for use with a flow of a diluent and a flow of a concentrate. The beverage dispenser may include an annular concentrate path of the flow of the concentrate and an annular diluent path surrounding at least in part the annular concentrate path for the flow of the diluent. The annular diluent path may include a shallow angle leading towards the flow of the concentrate such that the flow of the diluent and the flow of the concentrate mix in or downstream of the dispensing nozzle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A dispensing nozzle for use with a flow of a diluent and a flow of a concentrate, comprising: an annular concentrate path of the flow of the concentrate; and an annular diluent path surrounding at least in part the annular concentrate path for the flow of the diluent; the annular diluent path comprising a shallow angle leading towards the flow of the concentrate such that the flow of the diluent and the flow of the concentrate mix in or downstream of the dispensing nozzle; wherein the annular concentrate path comprises a diffuser and a diffuser cap; and wherein the diffuser comprises a concentrate spreader attached to a concentrate flange via a number of concentrate spreader ribs. 2. A dispensing nozzle for use with a flow of a diluent and a flow of a Stevia-based concentrate, comprising: an annular concentrate path of the flow of the Stevia-based concentrate; and an annular diluent path surrounding at least in part the annular concentrate path for the flow of the diluent; the annular diluent path comprising a shallow angle leading towards the flow of the Stevia-based concentrate such that the flow of the diluent and the flow of the Stevia-based concentrate mix in or downstream of the dispensing nozzle; wherein the annular diluent pathway comprises a top cover, a diffuser, a diffuser cap, and a lower shroud. 3. The dispensing nozzle of claim 2 , wherein the top cover comprises a central chamber with a plurality of diluent apertures. 4. The dispensing nozzle of claim 3 , wherein the diffuser cap extends through the central chamber of the top cover. 5. The dispensing nozzle of claim 2 , wherein the diffuser comprises a plurality of diffuser diluent ribs defining a plurality of diffuser pathways therethrough. 6. The dispensing nozzle of claim 2 , wherein the lower shroud comprises the shallow angle.
