Water ejecting apparatus
A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit coupled to one side of the case. The water ejection unit includes a fixed cover connected to the case and including a lifting gear provided on one side thereof and extending in an up-down direction and a guide bar provided on the other side thereof and extending in the up-down direction, a lifting cover movably accommodated inside the fixed cover, a lifting motor coupled to the lifting cover and configured to interwork with the lifting motor, and a water ejection nozzle installed at a lower end of the lifting cover and configured to eject water. One side of the gear module is in contact with and supported by the lifting gear and the other side thereof is in contact with and supported by the guide bar.
MILK FROTHING METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS
A milk-frothing apparatus for preparing high quality micro-foamed milk for coffee drinks consistently and at high volume. A machine having one or more steaming stations includes an elevator at each station with an elevator-mounted steaming wand having a precise angle at the discharge end. The elevator-mounted steaming wand is configured to travel from an upward stowed status to a downward deployed status to insert the discharge end of the elevator-mounted steaming wand into milk inside a pitcher precisely located on the machine. A steam boiler is hydraulically coupled to the elevator-mounted steam wand via flexible tubing and an infrared sensor monitors the temperature of the pitcher during a downward deployed status. An LCD screen with operator controls and displays oriented to coincide spatially with the elevator indicate different operational settings selected by the user and related to machine operation.
Coffee Machine With Improved Coffee Dispenser
The coffee machine (1) comprises a coffee dispenser having a support (3), a first spout (4) and at least a second spout (5) for dispensing coffee, and a mechanism for connecting the first and at least second spout (4, 5) to the support (3) configured to adjust the position of the first spout (4) and at least a second spout (5) in the direction of the width (L) and at the same time of the height (A) of the coffee machine (1).
BEVERAGE PREPARATION MACHINE EQUIPPED WITH A ROTATING STIRRING DEVICE AND A COFFEE NOZZLE
A beverage preparation machine includes a frame equipped with a cup holder, a coffee dispensing nozzle including an outlet orifice and a rotating stirring device including a tool rotating about an axis and intended to cooperate with a preparation contained in a container resting on the cup holder, the rotating stirring device including a conduit for conveying hot water and/or steam toward the rotating tool. The rotating stirring device is mobile in vertical translation parallel to the axis between a top standby position, in which the rotating tool is situated above the container, and a bottom working position, in which the rotating tool is situated in the container. The outlet orifice is separated from the rotating stirring device and arranged at a constant distance from the axis so that the outlet orifice and the rotating tool are arranged above an upper opening of the container arranged on the cup holder.
Aircraft Galley Brewing Apparatus
A brewing apparatus may include a chassis dimensioned to fit within a compartment of an aircraft galley. The chassis may include a front chassis section and one or more guide rails configured to engage one or more tracks in the aircraft galley compartment. The front chassis section may include a brew head assembly with one or more server restraints or one or more brew cup restraints and a brew cup panel assembly. The brew cup panel assembly may include a hinge assembly configured to engage the brew head assembly and a brew cup panel. The brew cup panel may be coupled to the hinge assembly and may be configured to adjust the brew head assembly in a selected direction via actuation of the hinge assembly.
SYSTEM FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE
A system for preparing a quantity of beverage suitable for consumption, including an apparatus including a first brew chamber part and a second brew chamber part forming a brew chamber for selectively holding one of a first and second exchangeable capsules, the second exchangeable capsule having a larger diameter than the first exchangeable capsule, wherein the second brew chamber part includes a central portion and a peripheral portion, wherein the peripheral portion includes a second sealing member arranged for providing a fluid sealing engagement between the peripheral portion and the first brew chamber part when forming the brew chamber for holding the second exchangeable capsule.
SINGLE-SERVING SELF-PIERCING POD FOR LIQUID AND POWDERED AND GRANULAR BEVERAGE CONCENTRATES
A single-serving capsule holding liquid and powdered beverage concentrates and dispensing systems/machines related thereto. The capsule is self-piercing and does not require a mechanical device to create water fluid inlet and fluid outlet openings in the capsule. The capsule can be used to make both hot and cold beverages.
LIQUID DISPENSER
Provided is a water purifier. The water purifier includes a water purifier body including a housing defining an outer appearance and a filter provided in the housing to filter raw water introduced from the outside, a water discharge module including a water discharge nozzle that protrudes forward from the water purifier body to supply the water passing through the filter to the outside of the water purifier body, and a tray disposed below the water discharge nozzle. The water discharge module is provided to be elevatable.
