Abstract

Disclosed is a stowable spigot for beverage cans that comprises an outer sleeve with an arrester mechanism for insertion into the opening of a can. The outer sleeve comprises a sliding inner sleeve that supports a gripping member located outside the can. A plug formed at the inner end of the sleeve is sealed with a protection cap located on the outer sleeve. Once the outer sleeve is removed, the protection cap uncovers a channel formed therein. The inner sleeve further includes a push-valve having a drain hole associated therewith. The sleeves are interconnected through a cam and through a curvilinear slot for driving the inner sleeve towards the outside upon rotation of the gripping member. The outer sleeve comprises a draw hole which is located below and is closed by an insert. The draw hold is located adjacent to the abutment, while the insert can be ejected by the cam.
