The water, cleaner, and wipe supply station includes multiple, related functions. Specifically: cleaning and refilling bottles with drinking water; cleaning and refilling cleaning product containers; and cleaning and refilling containers with pre-moistened wipes. The result is a reduction of waste introduced into landfills, and a means of centrally distributing clean water, cleaning products, and wipes without the need for additional containers.

Disclosed is a water dispenser. The water dispenser includes a water outlet component; a water cooling module for accessing a water source, an output port of the water cooling module being communicated with the water outlet component through a first water pump; and/or a water heating module, an input port of the water heating module accessing the water source through a second water pump, an output port of the water heating module being communicated with the water outlet component, the water outlet component accessing the water source through the second water pump.

A liquid container tilting device capable of automatically tilting to an optimum tilt angle to optimize the draining of the last 1-6 cups of liquid from the container. As the liquid container drains, the tilting angle increases. The tilting apparatus includes: a base that sits on a stable surface, a lever that is formed as a portion of the base and tilts the liquid container, a basket that holds the liquid container securely to the lever. In other embodiments, the device can be cleaned in a household dishwasher, stored on a shelf, hung vertically on a peg, or disassembled and stored inside a 5 gallon liquid container. The tilter promotes safety, efficiency, and saves time by eliminating the need for a second person to lift, tilt, and empty the last dregs of liquid from the liquid container.

THE NOVELTY FACTOR—This device is designed for home use and group gatherings, anywhere portable, liquid dispensers are used. There is no need for external springs, manually operated jacks, electric motors, or hydraulic devices, to lift or position the tilter or tilt the liquid containers.

ADVANTAGE—Enables one person to dispense the last dregs of liquid i.e. water, lemonade, or chemicals from the liquid container safely and automatically.

Described is an assembly that provides a passageway for a beverage line connected between a beverage vessel contained within a cabinet, and a beverage tap secured to a tabletop accessory located on a top surface of the cabinet. When the accessory is secured to both the cabinet and a tabletop accessory, the accessory provides: (i) a passageway for the beverage line while (ii) stabilizing and maintaining the tabletop accessory in a stationary and fixed position relative to the cabinet. The accessory may include an upper connector (fastened to the tabletop accessory) having a female shaft for engaging a male shaft of a lower connector (fastened to the cabinet).

A consumer operable retail beverage container filling arrangement for use in a retail environment is provided, comprising a housing, a beverage dispensing unit for dispensing a beverage, comprising a retail beverage container holder for receiving and holding a retail beverage container, wherein the beverage dispensing unit is at least partially provided in the housing, a consumer interaction module for receiving a consumer input and generating a consumer control signal based on the received consumer input, and a dispensing controller arranged for receiving the consumer control signal and controlling the beverage dispensing unit to dispense the beverage in accordance with the consumer control signal.

A beverage mixing device may comprise: a plurality of bulk pre-mixed compositions disposed within a housing; a user interface; and a controller in electronic communication with the user interface, the controller configured to: determine a drink type based on a selection from the user interface, dispense a carbonated water or a non-carbonated water through the nozzle based on the drink type, and dispense a pre-mixed composition based on the drink type, the pre-mixed composition dispensed through the nozzle.

An beverage mixing device is may comprise a controller in electronic communication with a sensor, the controller configured to: determine a drink type based on receiving sensor data from the sensor, and mix a pre-mixed composition with a carbonated water or a non-carbonated water based on the drink type.

A beverage dispensing device and methods for dispensing beverages are provided. In one embodiment, the beverage dispensing device includes a housing, a carbonation assembly, a carriage assembly, and one or more flavorant containers. The beverage dispensing device can also include a controller with a UI to allow a user to customize aspects of a beverage. These customizable aspects can include fluid volume, carbonation level, flavorant type, and/or flavorant amount. Based on the customized aspects of the beverage, the beverage dispensing device can dispense an amount of carbonated or uncarbonated water, and can dispense a type and amount of flavorant. Illustrative embodiments of flavorant containers are also provided.

A flowable food product dispenser is disclosed, The food product dispenser includes a main housing that is designed to be supported on a support surface. The main housing includes an open receiving area that includes a back support wall. An electric drive motor is included within the main housing of the food product dispenser. The main housing receives a storage container assembly that is movable into and out of the open receiving area. The storage container assembly includes a container and a pump. When the storage container assembly is moved into the open receiving area, the drive motor is able to drive the pump to withdraw the flowable food product from the container. A control unit and control panel are operable to allow a user to control the pump to selectively dispense the food product from the dispenser.

A method and dispensing apparatus for dispensing one or more liquids from a liquid storage container operably connected to the dispensing apparatus. The one or more liquids may include cold water, cold carbonated water, hot water and/or ambient temperature water. The dispensing apparatus preferably is a self-contained dispensing apparatus, i.e., a dispensing apparatus having its own source of liquid. The dispensing apparatus further preferably includes a housing storing a first cooled liquid reservoir and a second cooled liquid reservoir. The first cooled liquid reservoir preferably stores cold water and the second cooled liquid reservoir preferably stores cold carbonated water. A thermal link preferably connects the first cooled liquid reservoir and the second cooled liquid reservoir to cause thermal energy to be transferred between the first cooled liquid reservoir and the second cooled liquid reservoir.
