Abstract (en)

A method for installing a collapsible beverage container in a beverage distribution unit comprises the steps of providing the beverage distribution unit including a receptacle defining an inner surface, an open upwardly facing curved rim and a closed downwardly facing end, and a support surface located above and outside the rim of the receptacle. The collapsible beverage container defines a cylindrical body fitting inside the receptacle, a convex shaped first end and a convex shaped second end. The method further comprises performing the steps of positioning the collapsible beverage container in a sloped first position, pivoting the collapsible beverage container from the first position in a rotational motion around the support surface to a second position, and sliding the collapsible beverage container on the support surface and on the inner cylindrical surface of the receptacle from the second position to a third position inside the receptacle.
