Abstract

L'invention concerne un distributeur qui comprend un récipient à boissons (30) et un dispositif de distribution doté d'un robinet. Une partie de raccordement peut être reliée à l'ouverture du récipient (30). Avec la partie de raccordement, le dispositif de distribution (10) est disposé par rapport au récipient (30) de manière à ce que l'opération de distribution à l'aide du dispositif de distribution (10) nécessite une position surélevée du récipient (30). Un conduit de ventilation (96) est pourvu de la partie de raccordement qui s'étend au moins à partir de la partie inférieure du récipient, et d'un organe (149) qui est disposé de façon à éviter la distribution de boissons par le conduit de ventilation (96). L'avantage que présente cette invention réside dans le fait que l'on peut éviter la distribution non voulue de boissons par le conduit de ventilation.
