An apparatus for producing and dispensing whipped soft drinks, hot chocolate and beverages which does not use mechanical whipping such as rotating blades, but rather accomplishes the whipping of the mixture of syrup and water used to produce the beverage by intermixing within a vented mixing chamber intersecting streams of syrup and water that are directed toward the intersection point under pressure. The apparatus embodies solenoid valves to control the flow of syrup and water into the mixing chamber of the apparatus.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. An apparatus for producing and dispensing a whipped beverage comprising a mixture of syrup, water and air, said apparatus comprising:(a) a vented mixing chamber;(b) syrup injection means for injecting a stream of syrup into said vented mixing chamber along a first path;(c) water injection means for injecting a stream of water into said vented mixing chamber along a second path that intersects said first path at an intersection point to impinge upon said stream of syrup to form a first mixture of syrup and water, said water injection means comprising a water injection nozzle that includes a generally tubular shaped body portion and a flattened end portion defining an elongated slit for directing the water toward said intersection point at a velocity sufficient to cause a turbulent mixing of the water and syrup; and(d) a dispensing means operably associated with said vented mixing chamber for dispensing said whipped beverage.
