Fuel can adapter
10077182 · 2018-09-18 · ·

A fuel can adapter is designed to be used with a fuel can having a neck that is internally and externally threaded. The fuel can adapter includes a plate having external threads for engaging internal threads of the neck, the plate including a hole. The adapter includes a sliding tube mounted to slide within the hole in the plate. The adapter includes an elbow mounted at an upper end of the tube, the elbow including an outlet. The adapter further includes a protrusion extending from the plate beside the hole. The elbow bears against the protrusion to exert a torque on the plate that threads or unthreads the plate from the neck of the fuel can.

Refrigerator with automatic liquid dispenser

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a fresh food compartment and a door pivotally mounted to the cabinet and including an interior surface in communication with the fresh food compartment when the door is closed. A shelf unit is disposed adjacent the interior surface of the door, and a container is supported by the shelf unit. A fill mechanism is positioned vertically above the container and the container is configured to receive liquid from the fill mechanism. A sensor is configured to sense a property of the container or liquid received in the container. A control is in communication with the sensor and regulates a dispensing of liquid into the container based upon the sensed property. The sensor utilizes a capacitive sensor located adjacent to the container.

Linked poppet valves

Two or more poppet valves are mechanically coupled or linked to each other by a web. A single valve stem operates the multiple poppets together. One poppet controls the flow of a liquid from a reservoir. The other poppet controls the flow of air into the reservoir. The air control poppet opens after the liquid control poppet enabling a vacuum to be developed in the reservoir before the air control poppet opens. Air is thus drawn into the reservoir through the air control poppet.
