Abstract
The tap device 1 consists in an articulated mechanism 23 which positions each plastic bottle 5 against the corresponding spigot 2 in a tilted position. The aeration and foaming of the carbonated liquid beverage are thus decreased, filling is more stable, and the star-wheel for removal 3 may be provided with a capper 42 using screw-tops.
