A beverage container of the type having an internal CO2 cartridge, that is adapted to be tapped from the outside and to be connected to a constant pressure-maintaining mechanism, has a tap provided on the upper edge of the container. The tap: is connected on its inner end with a riser line; comprises an outside tube in which an inside tube is slidably arranged; has a terminal coupling of the outside tube that is located at the end of the riser line; and is formed so that the inside tube comprises a projection which closes the riser line when the tap is in its pushed-in condition. A tapping actuator on the outer end of the inside tube operates a plunger that is connected to a tapered member that cooperates with a correspondingly tapered seat positioned within the inside tube.

What is claimed is: 1. A beverage container that is adapted to accept a pressurizing system having an internal CO2 cartridge that can be selectively tapped from outside the container which has been sealed and a mechanism for maintaining a predetermined CO2 pressure from the cartridge, the container
What is claimed is: 1. A beverage container that is adapted to accept a pressurizing system having an internal CO2 cartridge that can be selectively tapped from outside the container which has been sealed and a mechanism for maintaining a predetermined CO2 pressure from the cartridge, the container comprising: a tap provided on an upper edge of the container and being axially movable between a storage position, in which the tap is contained substantially within a volume of the container, and an activated position, in which the tap protrudes from one wall of the container; and a riser line positioned inside the container and connected to the tap; wherein the tap comprises an outside tube in which an inside tube is slidably arranged, the outside tube being sealingly mounted in a container wall, a terminal coupling on an inner end of the outside tube for connecting to the riser line, a projection on the inside tube for closing the riser line when the tap is in the tap's storage position, a plunger at a radially outer end of the inside tube, coupled with a device for selectively axially displacing the plunger, a tapered member that is axially displaceable by the plunger and tapers in a beverage exit direction of the inside tube, movably positioned in the inside tube, and a tapered seat positioned in the inside tube and cooperating with the tapered member to form a selectively openable seal. 2. A container according to claim 1, wherein the tapered seat comprises a separate insert in the inside tube. 3. A container according to claim 1, further comprising a sealing lip positioned on the plunger and a necked-down portion of the inside tube that is arranged to cooperate with the sealing lip to form a seal. 4. A container according to claim 2, further comprising a sealing lip positioned on the plunger and a necked-down portion of the inside tube that is arranged to cooperate with the sealing lip to form a seal. 5. A container according to claim 1, wherein the device for selectively displacing the plunger comprises a rubber button. 6. A container according to claim 2, wherein the device for selectively displacing the plunger comprises a rubber button. 7. A container according to claim 3, wherein the device for selectively displacing the plunger comprises a rubber button. 8. A container according to claim 1, wherein the container comprises a keg for a malted beverage. 9. A container for dispensing a carbonated beverage, comprising: a sealable container having associated therewith a self-contained system for providing a predetermined pressure level of CO2 within a volume of the container; a tap provided on an upper edge of the container and being axially movable between a storage position, in which the tap is contained substantially within the container volume, and an activated position, in which the tap protrudes from one wall of the container; a riser line positioned inside the container and connected to the tap; wherein, the tap comprises an outside tube in which an inside tube is slidably arranged, the outside tube being sealingly mounted in a container wall, a terminal coupling on an inner end of the outside tube for connecting to the riser line, a projection on the inside tube for closing the riser line when the tap is in the tap's storage position, a tapered member that is axially displaceable in the inside tube and tapers in a beverage exit direction of the inside tube, and a tapered seat positioned in the inside tube and cooperating with the tapered member to form a selectively openable seal; and a device for selectively axially displacing the tapered member. 10. A container according to claim 9, wherein the tapered seat comprises a separate insert in the inside tube. 11. A container according to claim 9, wherein the device for selectively displacing the tapered member comprises a plunger, and wherein the container further comprises a sealing lip positioned on the plunger and a necked-down portion of the inside tube that is arranged to cooperate with the sealing lip to form a seal. 12. A container according to claim 9, wherein the device for selectively displacing the tapered member comprises a plunger adapted to displace the tapered member and a rubber button located at an external end of the tap that is adapted to displace the plunger. 13. A container according to claim 9, wherein the self-contained system for providing a predetermined pressure level of CO2 within the container volume comprises a CO2 cartridge positioned within the container and being coupled with a mechanism for maintaining a predetermined CO2 pressure from the cartridge. 14. A container according to claim 13, further comprising a mechanism for selectively tapping the CO2 cartridge from outside the container after the container is sealed.
