Abstract (en)

The device (1) has a fluid container (2), which is spherical or ovoid in shape and is supported on a base (3). The container has an opening at the base, which is locked at the deepest position by a stopper or a diaphragm. The stopper is allotted over a lateral oblong recess by which an inner hollow outlet pipe is inserted sidewise or from bottom. A valve lying at the outer end has a blank in the direction of the opening. The opening of the fluid container is cleared by the movement of the outlet pipe, inserted in the direction of a stopper or a diaphragm, to facilitate extraction of beverages.
