A water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a housing accommodating components for generating cold water and/or hot water; and a water chute which protrudes from a front surface of the housing, in which the water chute includes a water cock through which cold water or hot water flows; and a light emitting element which is mounted on the water cock to emit ultraviolet rays, in which the water cock includes a water inflow part which extends in a transverse direction and has a water inflow passage formed therein; and a water outflow part which extends in a direction intersecting the water inflow part at an end of the water inflow part and has a water outflow passage formed therein, in which the light emitting element is disposed on the upper side of the water outflow part, and in which the water outflow passage includes a sloping part having a shape in which a cross-sectional diameter thereof gradually decreases toward the lower end thereof.

A protective cap for a container's spigot is configured with a looped section and a cap. The looped section may have one or more loops to secure and hang around a spigot's neck for convenient use. The looped section may have an upper loop distal from the cap and a lower loop proximal to the cap, in which the lower loop has a relatively smaller diameter than the upper loop. A bottom of the looped section may have an incline that provides additional support to the looped section. The cap includes an opening that leads to a bottom surface that covers the outlet along with the cap's sidewalls and enhances cleanliness.

A refrigerator may be provided with a dispenser which includes a nozzle pipe; a light source that radiates ultraviolet light from one end of the nozzle pipe to an inner space of the nozzle pipe, a window that is provided between the one end of the nozzle pipe and the light source, and a liquid supplying hose barb connected to the nozzle pipe via an elbow. Liquid exiting the elbow swirls as ultraviolet light is irradiated onto the liquid.

A refrigerator provided with a dispenser, wherein a water discharging member that is installed in the dispenser includes: a nozzle pipe; a light source that radiates ultraviolet light from one end of the nozzle pipe to an inner space of the nozzle pipe; and a window that is provided between the one end of the nozzle pipe and the light source, that divides the inner space of the nozzle pipe and an area where the light source is disposed and that transmits ultraviolet light radiated from the light source to the nozzle pipe.

A cup holder assembly includes a plurality of contacts that are configured to contact a cup so that a majority of an opening into the cup is uncovered by the cup holder, and the plurality of contacts are connectable to one or more cup holder guide rods of an assembly that dispenses and mixes or blends beverages

A liquid dispenser includes a case and a dispenser, and dispenser includes a dispenser side cover, a first lifting cover, a second lifting cover, and a dispenser nozzle. The first lifting cover includes a guide rail and the second lifting cover includes a coupling bracket provided with a magnet. As the coupling bracket is slidably moved along the guide rail by the attractive force being applied between the magnet and the guide rail, the second lifting cover is lifted and lowered from the first lifting cover.

A water spout sanitary cover is provided. The cover is disposable and is configured to fit over a portion of the water spout to provide a sanitary layer. The cover may prevent microbial transfer between the spout, water, and a vessel being filled with water. The cover is disposable, and replaceable, and may be provided in a stacked dispenser.

The invention relates to a connector head (12) comprising an interior space (40), a tank connector (13) which is in fluid communication with the interior space (40) and which can be fluidly connected to a valve apparatus (10) mounted on the tank (9) for filling or emptying the tank (9), a product port (14) in fluid communication with the interior space (40) and a discharge port (33) in fluid communication with the interior space (40). To allow a tank to be filled and emptied under improved hygienic conditions, it is proposed that the connector head (12) comprises a first valve (29), with which first valve (29) the product port (14) can be shut off from the interior space (40), a second valve (34), with which second valve (34) the discharge port (33) can be shut off from the interior space (40), and a cleaning device (38) adapted and arranged to clean the interior space (40) and the tank connector (13). The invention also relates to a valve block.
