Abstract:
A frozen food product dispensing machine includes a housing, a freezer barrel, a cover extending over the opening of the freezer barrel, wherein the cover defines a passage fluidly coupled to a food product volume, a spigot disposed within the passage and translatable along a longitudinal axis between a first position and a second position, the spigot including an actuator interface, and an actuator selectively coupled to the spigot by the actuator interface, wherein the spigot prevents a flow of food product through the passage when in the first position and allows the flow of food product through the passage when in the second position, wherein the actuator is configured to selectively move the spigot between the first position and the second position in response to a user input, and wherein the spigot is configured to be selectively decoupled from the actuator by rotating the spigot about the longitudinal axis.

Claim (Index 14):
A spigot for use with a frozen food product dispensing machine including a cover cooperating with a first freezer barrel and a second freezer barrel to define a first food product volume and a second food product volume, respectively, configured to contain food product, the spigot comprising:\n a main body defining a central longitudinal axis; and an actuator interface extending from the main body and configured to be received by an actuator; wherein the main body of the spigot defines a groove extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and the groove is configured to engage a pin to selectively prevent rotation of the spigot relative to the cover; wherein the actuator interface includes a key having a major key width and a minor key width, the major key width angularly offset from the minor key width by an offset angle about the longitudinal axis; and wherein the minor key width is narrower than a corresponding slot width in an actuator configured to receive the actuator interface and wherein the major key width is wider than the slot width, such that the spigot is configured to be decoupled from the actuator by rotating the spigot about the longitudinal axis an amount equal to the offset angle
