Abstract:

A soda dispensing apparatus includes a housing having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall that is attached to and extends upwardly from the bottom wall. The peripheral wall has an aperture extending therethrough. The aperture is positioned generally adjacent to the bottom wall and extends upwardly from the bottom wall. An upper edge of the peripheral wall defines an opening into the housing. A concave saddle is positioned in the housing adjacent to the opening. The saddle has an open bottom side. The saddle has a size and shape adapted for receiving a soda bottle so that a threaded opening of the bottle extends through the open bottom side. A spout assembly is removably attached to the threaded opening and is selectively opened or closed. An actuator is mounted in the housing that selectively opens the spout assembly so that fluid flows outwardly of the threaded opening.
