A beverage dispensing system, for delivering and dispensing beverages having dissolved gases therein, under pressure, which beverages are capable of breaking up and releasing said dissolved gases in the form of foam, said beverage dispensing system comprising: source means for storing said beverage
A beverage dispensing system, for delivering and dispensing beverages having dissolved gases therein, under pressure, which beverages are capable of breaking up and releasing said dissolved gases in the form of foam, said beverage dispensing system comprising: source means for storing said beverage in a substantially controlled environment; at least one beverage transport member, operably associated with said source means, for transporting said beverage, under pressure, away from said source means; at least one faucet means, operably associated with said at least one beverage transport member, for enabling delivery of said beverage into containers for consumption, said at least one faucet means including a shank portion, operably connected in fluid communication with said at least one beverage transport member, for receiving and beverage from said at least one beverage transport member and having a flow passage way disposed therein, a valve portion, operably configured to be selectively positionable between open and closed configurations, to start and stop flow of said beverage through said beverage dispensing system, and a nozzle portion, for directing flow of said beverage into said containers; and flow regulator means for substantially precluding the break up of said beverage and release of said dissolved gases, so as to prevent foaming, said flow regulator means having a longitudinal axis and being operably arrangeable substantially within said shank portion of said at least one faucet means, including a flow regulator member, operably insertable into said flow passageway of said shank portion, upstream from a transition position between said shank portion and said valve portion of said at least one faucet means, said flow regulator member being in the form of a substantially cylindrical coil, said flow regulator member further including a tab portion, distinct from the overall geometric shape and dimension of said flow regulator member, operably disposed at a position proximate a downstream end of said substantially cylindrical coil, said tab portion further including a flattened portion substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis for facilitating grasping of said flow regulator means toward facilitated insertion and removal of said flow regulator means from said shank portion.
