Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drink dispenser capable of easily separating a drive device from an operating lever and simply performing switchover between the manual operation of the lever and the automatic operation thereof.
SOLUTION: A beer pouring cock 14 disposed on the front side of a server main body 12 is provided with an operating lever 20 which extends upward from a cock main body 18 and which performs switchover between the pouring of beer and that of froth by tilting operation to be made in a forward/backward direction. A drive device 26 capable of automatically operating the operating lever 20 is constituted of a casing 32 disposed in a vertically movable manner with respect to the server main body 12, a slider 34 housed in the casing 32 and capable of being horizontally reciprocated, and a drive mechanism 36 for reciprocating the slider 34. The positioning of the drive device 26 is determined to an operation position where the operating lever 20 is inserted into an engaging hole 61 of the slider 34, and to a non-operation position where the operating lever 20 is disengaged from the engaging hole 61, by vertically moving the casing 32.
