A beverage dispenser is provided herein. The beverage dispenser may include a housing and a recess that holds a beverage. The recess may be pressurized to dispense the beverage through a dispensing tube that extends into the housing. The recess may include a base positioned at a bottom of the recess. The base may include a reservoir and the base may draw the beverage towards the reservoir. The dispensing tube may be laterally bisected or longitudinally bisected into a first portion and a second portion that may be removably coupled together.

The present invention provides a container assembly for use with a reusable urn or vessel. The assembly includes a (1) flexible pouch, (2) a fitment connected to the pouch and having a flexible flange and a first fluid passageway therethrough in fluid communication with the chamber, (3) a tubing adapter having a first end connected to the fitment and a second end having a member for connecting to a tubing and a second fluid passageway in fluid communication with the first fluid passageway; and (4) wherein the flexible flange is capable of bending to conform to an interior wall of the urn or vessel to place the second fluid passageway in alignment with an axis of a through hole in the urn or vessel.

Fuel hoses are provided herein to deliver a blend of fuels. For example, a fuel hose is provided that includes an upper hose portion with a first channel for delivering a first fuel and a second channel for delivering a second fuel. A lower hose portion with a third channel extending therethrough couples to a nozzle. The lower hose can couple to the upper hose portion at a joint that receives the first and second fuels. The first and second fuels can mix at the joint to form a blended fuel that is delivered through the lower hose portion to the nozzle.

The inventive system and method advantageously enable superior preserved storage and selective dispensation of liquids by storing wine (or other liquids) in a pressurized environment to ensure that the stored liquid does not come into contact with air, and then by selectively dispensing a portion of the stored liquid, in accordance with a desired dispensing regime, by utilizing a controlled source of pressure force to apply a sufficient pressure to the pressurized environment to expel the desired volume of the liquid in a pressurized stream directed to a dispensing/pouring interface through a conduit or equivalent delivery system. In at least several novel embodiments thereof, the system and method of the present invention are configured for use with wine-in-bag (WinB) products.

A water dispenser is provided. The water dispenser may include a main body, a rotator installed to be rotatable in a horizontal direction in the main body and including a water discharger, a rotation guide rail having a predetermined curvature within the main body, and a rotation guide protrusion provided in the rotator and slidably coupled to the rotation guide rail to guide rotation of the rotator.

A refrigerator includes a main body, a storage space defined within the main body, a door configured to open and close at least a portion of the storage space, a dispenser provided in the door and defining a space in which water is dispensed, a water nozzle extending downward into the space, where the water nozzle is movably mounted at the dispenser and configured to dispense water, a manipulation detection device provided at the dispenser, the manipulation detection device being configured to detect movement of the water nozzle, and a control unit configured to open and close a water supply valve connected to the water nozzle according to a detection signal generated by the manipulation detection device.

A gas infusion tank for a beverage machine includes a tank body defining a holding space for accommodating beverages. A mixing element includes a mixing chamber, an ascending pipe, and a descending pipe. A top of the ascending pipe is fluidly connected to the mixing chamber and a bottom of the ascending pipe has a liquid inlet. The liquid inlet is fluidly connected to the holding space. A top of the descending pipe is fluidly connected to the mixing chamber and a bottom of the descending pipe includes a liquid outlet in fluid communication with the nozzle. A gas intake hole connects the holding space with the mixing chamber.

A beverage font assembly includes a tapping head with a valve cavity and a first recess extending from its rear side to the valve cavity. An applicator is sized and shaped to be slidably received in the first recess for placing an exchangeable valve in the valve cavity for controlling the flow of beverage from a dispensing line though the tapping head. The tapping head is movable between an operative position and a service position, its rear side being obscured in the operative position and exposed in the service position.

A cold water tank assembly is disclosed. A cold water tank assembly according to an aspect of the present invention may include a cold water tank having an accommodation space, a partition wall that divides the accommodation space of the cold water tank into a plurality of heat exchange flow path zones, and an evaporator that sequentially passes through the heat exchange flow path zones.
