MULTI-PLATE BAR GUN AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Bar guns having a body constructed from a multiplicity of color contrasting laminated acrylic sheets. The bar gun body has a nozzle, a heel, and a button assembly. Internal parts, including pistons, engage fluid channels in the bar gun body to control the flow of fluid to the bar gun nozzle.
1 . A method for making a bar gun comprising the steps of:
selecting a multiplicity of cast acrylic plates with at least one of the plates being colored and at least one being clear;
machining the individual plates for fluid channels and receipt of fluid control ports;
assembling the plates under pressure with a solvent on the plate surfaces;
machining the exterior of the assembly into a bar gun body; and
adding additional parts to complete the bar gun.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the selected colored plates are translucent.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the selected colored plates are transparent.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the selected colored plates are opaque.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the selected colored plates are semi-opaque.
6 . A bar gun comprising:
a body having multiplicity of machined acrylic plastic plates at least one of which is colored and at least one of which is clear;
a heel assembly engaging the body;
a button assembly engaging the body; and
a nozzle engaging the body.
7 . The bar gun of claim 6 , wherein the at least one colored plate is transparent.
8 . The bar gun of claim 7 , wherein the at least one colored transparent plate is from the group: white, blue, green yellow, amber, or red.
9 . The bar gun is claim 7 , wherein the multiplicity is five and the colored plate is red, with at least two adjacent plates being clear.
10 . A bar gun for dispensing a beverage, the bar gun comprising:
a multi-laminate body of acrylic plates, machined for receipt of an assemblage of parts and for fluid flow therethrough and containing the assemblage of parts adapted to control the flow of fluids therethrough;
a connector for receiving and fluid coupling with the body to supply the body with a multitude of pressurized fluids; and
a nozzle adapted to couple with the body and to mix a multiplicity of fluids received from the body, and to expel the mixed fluids from a mouth of the nozzle.
