Abstract:
1. An apparatus securable to a top opening of a carbonated beverage bottle and for selectively dispensing fluid therefrom, said apparatus comprising: a body having a substantially cylindrical shape and a centrally disposed longitudinal axis, said body further having a plurality of chambers vertically aligned along the axis; a spout extending outwardly from one said plurality of chambers and being in fluid communication therewith; a bellow section disposed within said body comprising a conduit having opposed end portions disposed adjacent said one chamber and within a beverage bottle reservoir respectively, said bellow section cooperating with said spout for moving between expanded and contracted positions so that air can be drawn upwardly through said conduit and expelled through said spout, said bellow section having a passageway extending substantially parallel to the axis and for selectively drawing air outwardly from the reservoir; a plunger section slidably connected to said body and for operably introducing pressure downwardly from another said plurality of chambers and through said one chamber and into the reservoir underneath said bellow section; and a lever including a first flange portion adjustably engaged with said bellow section and further including a second flange portion extending outwardly from said body, said second flange portion being movable between compressed and released positions for selectively releasing pressure from the reservoir respectively; wherein said bellow section comprises a helical spring disposed about said stop member and for causing said stop member to return downwardly towards a rested position when said lever is released after being compressed.
