Abstract (en)

A gas cylinder coupling and weighing mechanism useful in a carbonated drink dispenser having a gas cylinder (17). Supports the cylinder (17) rotatably within a hood (741), the hood forming a lever which is biased upwardly by a spring (765). A full cylinder (17) will pull the hood (741) all the way down. As the cylinder (17) is emptied, the hood (741) will begin to move upward and when the cylinder (17) is empty the hood (741) will be fully upward. Mounted inside the hood (741) is a fitting (731) engaging with a mating fitting (703) on the gas cylinder (17). The mating fitting (703) is equipped with a pair of arms (713) which are aligned with locking slots (719) contained within the mating fitting (703) which are used to engage pins (733) on the fitting (731) inside the hood (741) when mounting the gas cylinder (17).
