A refrigerator equipped with a water tank that is easily accessible to a user and a method of using the same. A water dispenser is installed on the front side of a refrigerator. A water tank coupled to the water dispenser is detachably installed on a lower inner inside of a refrigerator door such that a user can conveniently observe the state of the water tank and access the water tank for maintenance and refill.

A dispenser assembly capable of dispensing gel, liquid, and foam products includes a container to be filled with the product, a pump connected to the container and configured to control dispensing of the product from the container, and a pump actuator assembly configured to actuate the pump and retain the container and the pump. The pump actuator assembly includes a first actuator including a lower ramp, and a second actuator comprising an upper ramp engaged with the lower ramp. The lower ramp of the first actuator and the upper ramp of the second actuator cooperate to actuate at least a portion of the pump along a first axis in response to a force applied along a second axis.

A filling device adapted for wetting or filling a component provided with an undercut, includes a mixing head for mixing a flowable, curable, filler and an outlet tube for feeding the flowable filler to or into a filling space in the component. An adjustable deflecting unit for changing the direction of flow F of the flowable filler is provided such that the filler emerging from the outlet tube can be deflected into an intended direction of flow.

A system for accurately dispensing small amounts of custom blended liquids for vaporizing in an electronic cigarette device comprising a plurality of interactive display devices; a controller for relaying input from a first interactive device to a second and a third interactive device and a liquid dispenser. The dispenser in electronic communication with the second interactive device and controller and comprising a plurality of containers for holding liquids; a plurality of spouts, each spout for dispensing the liquids as a mixture; and a plurality of pumps for moving the liquids from the containers to the spouts. A plurality of calibrated delivery devices for further custom blending the liquid by addition of a liquid flavoring can also be used. The liquid dispenser is configured to eliminate cross-contamination of components when dispensing.

A dispenser for dispensing a fluid. The dispenser includes a shank for penetrating a countertop opening and having a filling end. A reservoir is in communication with the shank and is coupled to the shank and extends below a lower end of the shank, such that when a fluid is provided at the filling end of the shank it will flow into the reservoir through the shank along a path. The dispenser also includes a pump and a spout coupled to the pump extending above the shank.

A dispenser for a consumable product having a backplate for mounting to a wall and a cover member pivotably mounted to the backplate for relative pivotal movement between a closed position and an open position. The cover member carrying a journal rod disposed about an axis. A movable member coupled to the backplate for relative vertical sliding movement between a lower first position and a higher second position. The backplate carrying at a lower end of the backplate a complementary second journal bearing portion open downwardly. The second bearing portion slidable vertically upwardly away from the first bearing portion in movement of the support member from the first position to the second position to permit, when the movable member is in the second position, the coupling and uncoupling of the cover member from the backplate and wherein with the movable member in the second position with the journal rod engaged with the first journal portion of the backplate, the backplate engages the journal rod to support the cover member on the backplate.

A pedestal includes a seating surface portion on which water dispenser is to be placed; legs defining, under the seating surface portion, a robot receiving space which a self-propelled cleaning robot for cleaning a floor surface can enter and exist, and in which the cleaning robot can be received; and a charging station provided in the robot receiving space for charging the self-propelled cleaning robot. The pedestal allows the owner of an existing water dispenser to easily find a place for both this water dispenser and a self-propelled cleaning robot.

A dispensing appliance allowing the loading of a container together with a dispensing tube is disclosed. After loading the container into the holding portion of the appliance, a dispensing cartridge is engaged into a receiving system provided in the dispensing portion of the appliance, which is movable with respect to the holding portion from a first loading position to a second dispensing position. The cartridge partially encases a dispensing tube with both inlet and outlet ends protruding out of first and second sides of the cartridge, such that the outlet portion of the dispensing tube is flexible. Upon engaging the cartridge into the receiving system, the outlet portion is engaged into a pinch valve while the inlet points towards the dispensing opening of the container. The dispensing tube inlet is introduced into the dispensing opening upon moving the dispensing portion of the appliance to its second dispensing position.

A filling adapter for a container to be filled with media, in particular for the filling of containers on assembly lines for the production of motor vehicles where the filling adapter is equipped with a hose pack, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. The filling adapter is equipped with a clamping drive housing with a stationary part and a receiving part for clamping claws. The receiving part can be operatively connected with a union nut such that, after loosening the union nut, the position of the clamping claws can be rotationally adjusted, allowing rotation of the filling adapter with respect to the container to be filled. A clamping drive housing includes a toothing, with which the receiving part for the clamping claws engages by way of a locking pin.
