A refrigerator includes a main body that defines a storage space, a door configured to open or close the storage space, and a dispenser located in the door and configured to dispense cooled water and purified water. The refrigerator also includes a purified water input part that inputs a command for dispensing the purified water, a cooled water input part that inputs a command for dispensing the cooled water, and a dispensing amount input part that sets an amount of purified water to be dispensed based on the purified water being selected through the purified water input part. The refrigerator further includes a filter device located within the storage space to purify water supplied from a water supply source, and a water tank storing water that has passed through the filter device in a cooled state.

A water purifier includes: a main body having a water outlet at one side thereof; and a drip tray unit provided under the water outlet. The drip tray unit includes: a plurality of drip trays supporting a container, storing water drips, and configured to be folded or unfolded; a drip tray supporter to support the plurality of drip trays, the drip tray supporter slidably movable in a first direction with respect to the main body or in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction; and an actuator to adjust a folding or an unfolding of the plurality of drip trays while interlocking with the sliding movement of the drip tray supporter so that the plurality of drip tray folds in response to the drip tray supporter moving in the first direction or unfolds in response to the drip tray supporter moving in the second direction.

A water purifier or other liquid dispenser may sense a height of the inlet of a container accurately through an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver that are disposed at different positions of a water discharge module moving vertically. Additionally, in the water purifier, the water discharge module may discharge purified water at a point spaced a certain distance apart from the inlet of the container, based on infrared sensing, thereby preventing the inlet of the container from contacting the lower surface of the water discharge module.

The refillable drinking container for use with a water-dispensing system. The refillable drinking container for use with a water-dispensing system stores a fluid that is consumed as a beverage. The refillable drinking container for use with a water-dispensing system measures the stored fluid. The refillable drinking container for use with a water-dispensing system refills the fluid when the volume of the stored fluid falls below a previously determined level. The refillable drinking container for use with a water-dispensing system heats the stored fluid at a previously determined temperature.

The refillable drinking vessel is a fluid containment structure. The refillable drinking vessel forms a fluidic connection with a pressurized fluid source the refillable drinking vessel: a) opens a fluidic connection with the pressurized fluid source; and, b) received fluid from the pressurized fluid source until a previously determined volume of fluid is contained in the refillable drinking vessel. The refillable drinking vessel incorporates a bottle, a bottle fitting structure, a base plate, and a fluid control structure. The base plate forms a fluidic connection between the bottle fitting structure and the pressurized fluid source. The bottle fitting structure forms a fluidic connection between the bottle and the base plate. The fluid control structure automatically controls the flow of fluid from the pressurized fluid source through the base plate and the bottle fitting structure into the bottle.

A hydrogen water generator includes a hydrogen water discharger including a water outlet, a seating unit disposed under the water outlet and forming a seating surface, a water container seatable on the seating surface and including an opening at an upper end of the water container, and a first magnetic body at a lower end of the water container, and the seating unit including a second magnetic body. When the water container is seated on the seating surface, the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body are attractable to each other to position the water container with respect to the water outlet.

The invention provides a system for dispensing a beverage into a container comprising at least one dispenser unit. The dispenser unit comprises at least one fluid port and a moveable seal member which is configured to form a sealing barrier between at least a portion of the container and the dispenser head.

Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to dispensing beverages from a beverage dispensing machine and include determining, from computer-readable media, pour parameters for a beverage of a plurality of beverages, the pour parameters being specific to the beverage, at least one pour parameter including a tilt value, and automatically, by the beverage dispensing machine: rotating a drum that holds a vessel to achieve the tilt value, initiating dispensing of the beverage into the vessel from a tap, automatically rotating the drum to reduce the tilt value of the vessel during dispensing of the beverage, and ceasing dispensing of the beverage into the vessel from the tap, the tilt value being substantially zero upon ceasing.

A versatile water delivery system is disclosed. The versatile water delivery system includes one or more features - such as a quick-connect bubbler, a multipurpose connection mount, and/or an easy-to-use pushbutton - to enable the water delivery system to adaptably operate in a number of different environments for various types of users.
