A pinch valve has an insert housed in a holder. The insert and the holder are shaped to receive a dispensing tube and the insert can rotate within the holder and around the dispensing tube. The insert can be rotated to have the pinch valve in a release configuration where the insert can be moved downward and out of the holder to allow for cleaning of the insert and holder.

A pinch valve for a liquid-dispensing unit or machine has a pinch valve body to which is connected a pinch bar assembly. The pinch bar assembly has two axes of rotation and can easily be moved by a user from a pinch position, where the pinch bar is the displacement path of a plunger, to an open position where it is not in the displacement path. A liquid-dispensing tube can be installed in the pinch valve between the pinch bar and the plunger.

A pinch valve for a liquid-dispensing unit or machine has a pinch valve body to which is pivotally secured a closure in a clamshell arrangement. The valve body and the closure define a passageway that can hold a liquid-dispensing tube when the pinch valve is in a closed configuration. The axis about which the closure pivots is perpendicular to the passageway.

A portable C02 based cooler and beverage dispensing system for pressurizing and cooling beverage tanks, comprises a vibration-absorbing portable shell with a snap on removable tray for holding beverage containers and ice-cream-recesses, two growler-vibration-absorbing circular springs molded on the shell bottom for absorbing vibration from transportation and for holding and separating two beverage tanks, a tank-vibration-absorbing circular spring molded on the shell bottom for absorbing vibration from transportation and for holding a pressurized tank, a clamping system for clamping on and stabilizing two beverage growlers and a pressurized tank for transportation, two multi-height spigots, two height-adjustable telescopic posts, and a retractable height-adjustable spigot-locking handle attached the two posts and having two spigot-locking receptacles molded thereon for locking and adjusting the multi-height spigots to multiple different heights.

The present invention relates to a valve device of a direct watering type drinking water dispenser comprising: a body unit formed with a water inlet through which the water purified by a filter is introduced, a water outlet through which the purified water is discharged, and a flow path enabling the water inlet to be in communication with the water outlet; a closing unit provided at the inside of the body unit to open or close the flow path; a lever provided inside the body unit and having one end inserted into the inside of the body unit while being rotatably hinged to the body unit; and a magnet provided at the inside of the body unit which opens the flow path by having the closing unit move upwards and be attached thereto by magnetic force when moved downward by a predetermined depth due to being pushed by the rotation of the lever.

An automatic pump hydration delivery system includes a power source, master power switch, electric pump, timer delay module, pressure switch, backflow prevention structure (such as a one-way valve), conduit or tubing, bite valve, and may contain a reservoir or be retrofitted onto prior-art reservoirs or hydration bladders.

A system and method for dispensing fluids is introduced. A preferred embodiment comprises a sealed tank, a bag containing fluid inside the sealed tank, an outlet for dispensing the liquid in the bag, and a pressure generating device to create pressure in the sealed tank.

A dispensing system having a treatment cartridge utilizing linear translation of the treatment cartridge within the manifold to actuate a valve to dispense a fluid. To dispense the fluid, a person pushes their glass or other container against a dispensing lever that translates the treatment cartridge within the manifold causing a cam surface on the filter's circumferential exterior to actuate a valve sending the fluid from the valve though the treatment cartridge and out a dispensing orifice in the treatment cartridge into the glass.
