FILTRATION COOLER SYSTEM
A filtration cooler system includes a cooler reservoir having a reservoir receiving portion, a lid coupled with the cooler reservoir, a drip tray, a filter bucket, and a filter. The drip tray is received by the cooler reservoir such that the drip tray is disposed over the reservoir receiving portion. The filter bucket has a filter receiving portion operable to receive water. The filter bucket is received by the drip tray when the drip tray is disposed over the reservoir receiving portion. The filter is received in the filter bucket. The filter filters the water in the filter bucket such that the water passes from the filter bucket into the reservoir receiving portion. The drip tray and the filter bucket can be nested such that the drip tray and the filter bucket fit within the reservoir receiving portion when the lid is closed over the cooler reservoir.
MIXING CONTAINER
The invention provides a mixing container comprising: a liquid holding vessel having first and second chambers each for holding a different liquid; a mixing unit having a first valve and a second adjustable valve, the second adjustable valve having an opening that can be partially closed to permit a pre-determined portion of liquid from each chamber to be dispensed when pouring from the mixing container; and the second valve including a series of teeth around the periphery thereof for engaging an adjustment wheel in the mixing unit to open or close the opening in the second adjustable valve.
CHILD-RESISTANT DRAIN VALVE
A safety device allows selective opening or closing of a drain opening of a tank, to render such action more difficult for a child. The device has a body, a plug, a means for restricting axial movement of the plug in a conduit that runs through the body, and, optionally, a tether. The conduit is adapted for engagement in the drain opening. The plug is frictionally engaged in the conduit. The means for restricting axial movement has complementary elements disposed on the plug and on the body, such that, in a first rotational position, the plug is axially retained relative to the conduit and, in a second rotational position, the plug is not restricted from axial movement out of the conduit. The tether attaches to the plug and the body to keep the plug proximate to the body.
Desktop Water Bottle Dispenser
A dispenser for delivering a liquid from a supply bottle is disclosed. The dispenser has a base with a base foot. A tubular support is attached to the base foot. The tubular support extends vertically from the base foot. A rim is attached to the tubular support. The rim extends horizontally from the tubular support at a location above the base foot. The rim is vertically aligned with the base foot. A removable bottle collar engages with the rim. The removable bottle collar is adapted to engage and support the supply bottle inverted and positioned within the rim. The removable bottle collar has a center aperture where a mouth of the supply bottle extends there through.
THERMALLY INSULATED RECEPTACLES
A thermally insulated receptacle includes a body, a cover, and a loudspeaker. The body defines a cavity. The cover is operatively coupled to the body and movable relative to the body to selectively cover the cavity. The loudspeaker is pivotably coupled to the body. The receptacle may include a spigot that is configured to be fluidly coupled to a bottle.
PIERCING DEVICE FOR VENTING A CONTAINER
A container for dispensing a liquid includes a body and a piercing device. The body includes an interior storage volume, an outlet through the first wall for dispensing the liquid, a first track disposed in a first side wall of the body, and a second track disposed in a second side wall of the body, the second side wall opposite the first side wall. The piercing device can be slidably coupled to the body and includes a first rail configured to slide within the first track, a second rail configured to slide within the second track, and a piercer that includes a piercing end. The piercer can slide from a first position to a second position to pierce the body and create a vent opening.
Counter Water Bottle Dispenser
A dispenser base for use with a dispenser for delivering a liquid from an inverted supply bottle is disclosed. A top portion of the dispenser base is where the inverted supply bottle is supported. The dispenser base has a rim. A foot is formed at a bottom portion of the dispenser base. A bottle collar engages the top portion of the dispenser base. The bottle collar is adapted to engage the inverted supply bottle positioned on the bottle collar. A gap in a side of the bottle collar enables a dispenser valve coupled to the inverted supply bottle to be lowered directly downward into the bottle collar engaged upon the dispenser base.
CONTAINER WITH SEAL TO COVER A VENT
A container for dispensing a liquid can include a body and a seal. The body can include a plurality of walls that define an interior storage volume, an outlet through a first wall of the body for dispensing the liquid, and a vent opening. The seal can cover the vent opening. The seal can include an adhesive to removably couple the seal to the body of the container. The vent opening can include a plurality of openings, and the seal can cover all of the openings.
CAP FOR VENTING A CONTAINER
A container for dispensing a liquid that includes a body, a closure, and an overcap. The body includes an interior storage volume, a neck finish on a first wall of the body, and a protrusion on a second wall of the body. The neck finish defined outlet through the first wall for dispensing the liquid. The closure for sealing the outlet and coupled to the neck finish. The overcap is removably coupled to the closure and includes a first end including a recess configured to receive a portion of the closure when the overcap is coupled to the closure and a second end including a shield defining a shield recess and a piercer. The shield is configured is configured to at least partially surround the protrusion of the body such that the piercer pierces the protrusion to create a vent opening when the shield at least partially surrounds the protrusion.
IMPROVEMENTS IN BREWING
An apparatus for brewing and dispensing a beverage comprising a fermentation container for containing and fermenting a beverage, the fermentation container comprising a first outlet, and a collector for collecting waste from the fermentation container, the collector being attachable to and detachable from the fermentation container at the first outlet.
