Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9210424A1] A beer engine is provided that simulates a traditional beer engine/hand-pull, i.e. beer or the like is only dispensed while an operating handle is being pulled. Pivotal movement of the handle (6) towards a user about a pivot axis (8) causes translational movement of the pivot axis in order to operate a valve (3) to permit beer or the like to be dispensed. Upon this pivotal movement of the handle (6) being stopped or reversed, spring means (5, 10) urge the pivot axis in the opposite direction to allow the valve to close automatically.
