Abstract
A mixing device for mixing at least two different types of liquids of different ingredients suitable for being placed within a tap spout, preferably at a spout outlet, comprising at least two inlets configured to receive the liquids. The mixing device is adapted to deliver liquids separately at the same time such that the liquids mix at an outlet of the mixing device. The mixing device may further comprise a mixing space adapted to mix the liquids received at the inlets and deliver the mixture of the liquids, or deliver one type of liquid through the mixing space when only one type of liquid is received at the inlets, at the outlet of the mixing device. Each of the inlets is connected to a respective conduit that is fluidly separated from the other conduits. The present invention further relates to mixing tap systems using such a mixing device.
