Abstract
The beverage dispensing spigot comprises a rigid first conduit that communicates with the interior of the container, pipe, or manifold to which the spigot is attached. The first conduit communicates with a flexible second conduit internal to the body of the spigot. The flow of liquid through the flexible second conduit is regulated by the position of two opposing flanges, one of which is attached to the rigid body of the spigot and the other to a moveable actuator lever. The actuator lever is biased to a closed position by an elastomeric closure, and can be pushed to the open position by a user pushing on the portion of the lever that extends below the spigot. When a user pushes a cup or personal beverage container against the actuator lever, the moveable flange separates from the fixed flange, allowing the flexible second conduit to open and liquid to flow into a rigid third conduit that smoothes and straightens the flow and directs it into the cup or personal beverage container.
