The present invention relates to a water purifier. In detail, the water purifier includes: a water purifier body including a housing forming an external shape and filters disposed in the housing to filter original water flowing inside from the outside; a dispenser module at least partially protruding forward from the water purifier body and having a dispenser nozzle supplying water passing through the filters to the outside of the water purifier body; and a tray disposed under the dispenser nozzle. The dispenser module is turned to both sides and is moved up/down.

A liquid collector is configured to collect liquid escaping from a nozzle of a liquid container. The liquid collector includes an anchor portion configured to be sandwiched between the liquid container and a surface on which the liquid container rests. The liquid collector also includes a collection portion located below the anchor portion. The collection portion includes a basin configured to be positioned directly below the nozzle when the anchor portion is sandwiched between the liquid container and the surface. The liquid collector further includes a suspension portion configured to connect the collection portion to the anchor portion. The collection portion is suspended from the suspension portion.

A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit connected to the case. The water ejection unit includes a fixed cover connected to the case, having atop dead point and a bottom dead point, and including a lifting gear provided between the top dead point and the bottom dead point, a lifting cover movably coupled to the fixed cover, a lifting motor coupled to the lifting cover and a gear module interworking with the lifting motor and the lifting gear, a water ejection nozzle for ejecting water, a signal detecting unit that detects a frequency generation (FG) signal generated by the lifting motor during an operation of the lifting motor, and a controller configured to control the operation of the lifting motor upon determining that the lifting cover reaches the top dead point or the bottom dead point based on the FG signal.

A needle for accessing a container having a closure, such as a cork of a wine bottle. The needle includes first and second lumens each having a D-shaped cross section and a flat surface. The first and second lumens are attached with the flat surfaces in contact, and each lumen may have an outlet opening at a distal end. The needle may be used with a beverage dispenser that operates by introducing gas into a container via one lumen, and receives beverage from the container via another one of the lumens.

An electrically-driven rotor iron core magnetic steel chamber dispensing device effectuates dispensing in the gap between a magnetic steel chamber and a magnetic steel chunk of an electrically-driven rotor iron core. The electrically-driven rotor iron core magnetic steel chamber dispensing device includes a plurality of dispensing units each corresponding in position to one or more magnetic steel chambers. The dispensing units correspond in position to the magnetic steel chamber and are arranged in the circumferential direction of the electrically-driven rotor. The dispensing units are arranged outside the magnetic steel chamber and positioned proximate to the magnetic steel chamber or is located in the direction of the projection of the magnetic steel chamber. A dispensing opening of each dispensing unit corresponds in position to the magnetic steel chamber from below. The dispensing device is structurally simple and reliable, attains cost-efficient use of plastic, and enables automated magnetic steel chamber dispensing.

A post-mix beverage dispenser system with removable pumps is disclosed. The system includes a pump enclosure for receiving a plurality of beverage syrup pumps. Each beverage syrup pump may be easily removed from the enclosure and replaced in a tool-less manner. A sensor and control system for the plurality or removable pumps is also disclosed.

A system for sensing empty soft drink syrup containers in a soda pop dispensing arrangement is provided that includes at least one soft drink syrup container; a mixing station for mixing water and CO.sub.2 with soft drink syrup to make a soda pop mixture; a pump for pumping soft drink syrup to the mixing station and beyond to be dispensed; a CO.sub.2 container providing CO.sub.2 gas; and a soda pop dispenser apparatus. The system also includes a first tubing transmission line extending between the soft drink syrup container and the pump for carrying soft drink syrup, a second tubing transmission line for carrying soft drink syrup between the pump and the mixing station, and a third tubing transmission line extending between the mixing station and the soda pop dispenser for carrying soda pop to be dispensed. An optic sensor is located and spliced in the first tubing transmission line for sensing when the first tubing transmission line is devoid of soft drink syrup, and a signal indicator electrically connected with the optic sensor provides a signal indicating when the first tubing transmission line is devoid of syrup.

A beverage filter includes a central base mount that is mounted on a faucet tower and through which liquid from a liquid source flows. A cylindrical filter is mounted on the base mount and is configured to receive the liquid therefrom. A cylindrical transparent sight glass is disposed around the cylindrical filter. A top cap is mounted on the sight glass so that the top cap, the base mount, the filter and the sight glass define a cylindrical void that is viewable through the sight glass and into which liquid passes after it has been filtered. A faucet is in fluid communication with the cylindrical void through the base mount and is configured to pour liquid after it has been filtered.

A post-mix beverage dispenser system with removable pumps is disclosed. The system includes a pump enclosure for receiving a plurality of beverage syrup pumps. Each beverage syrup pump may be easily removed from the enclosure and replaced in a tool-less manner. A sensor and control system for the plurality or removable pumps is also disclosed.
