Abstract (en)

The present disclosure concerns a self-contained, pneumatic beverage dispensing system with a bottle coupler. The bottle coupler (120) generally comprises an outer member (128) and an inner member (130) that is slidingly disposed within the outer member. The outer member (122) is substantially tubular in shape so as to be formed as an elongated, hollow cylinder having a first end (132) and a second end (134). Formed at the first and second ends (132) and (134) of the outer member (128) are first and second collars (136) and (138), respectively. Each of these collars (136,138) are non-continuous in nature in that both are interrupted by a notch (140) and (142), respectively. Pivotally connected to the outer member (128) at the notch (140) is a bottle release lever (144).
