A liquid dispenser may include a container having an upper opening, a pump provided in the container, a pipe through which liquid discharged from the pump is transferred, a top plate having an upper surface over which liquid flows, a filter assembly provided below the top plate, a base provided below the container, and a thermoelectric element provided in the base to cool the liquid in the container.

A removal system (1) with an interface 5a for releasable connection to an extraction head (2) of the removal system (1), such that the tube (5) can be used as a single-use part for removing fluid from a container.

The present invention relates to a beverage preparation device (1) comprising a beverage preparation section (2) for preparing and dispensing a beverage product, a water supply (4) for supplying water to the beverage preparation section (2) for beverage preparation, and an additive supply (6) for supplying beverage additives to the beverage preparation section (2) to be mixed with water from the water supply (4) for beverage preparation. The additive supply (6) comprises a storage section (10) for housing and storing containers (12) respectively carrying a beverage additive. The additive supply (6) comprises a cooling device (16) for cooling the containers (12) stored in the storage section (10).

A liquid pump mechanism in a cooler to create a fountain type dispenser from the cooler and a liquid pump mechanism for a container that includes a viscous liquid such as detergent and/or fabric softener. The liquid pump mechanism includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The liquid pump mechanism includes an electric pump that is designed to cause fluid to flow into the bottom portion when the electric pump is activated. The bottom portion is fluidly connected or interconnected to the top portion such that fluid that flows into the bottom portion is designed to flow out of the bottom portion and to the top portion.

A galley cart carbonated beer dispensing system employs a housing defining a cavity. A door is coupled to the housing and configured to be moved between a closed position and an open position. A keg is received in the cavity and a carbonation cylinder is received in the cavity and connected to the keg. A spigot is supported on a dispensing tower extending from a top of the housing and connected to the keg. The dispensing tower is retractable into the cavity.

A contactless beverage dispenser, system, and method of contactlessly dispensing a beverage are disclosed herein. Embodiments of the present invention utilize a sensor that is operatively coupled to a pump for selective activation thereof. The sensor detects, in a sensor zone, the presence of a beverage container proximal a dispensing spout of the beverage dispenser. The sensor may be a proximity sensor, such as a photoelectric sensor. Upon detection of the beverage container, the pump is activated and dispenses a beverage to a user.

Described herein is a space saving fluid dispensing container adapted for placement on a shelf. The device is generally adapted for filtration and dispensing of water and designed for placement within the refrigerator. The device includes a base portion forming a cavity and a removable and refillable tank for coupled placement to the base portion and in fluid communication with the base portion cavity for the replenishment of the fluid contents. Accordingly, the base portion is adapted to form a secondary shelf allowing only for the removal of a the refillable tank to allow for easier replenishment of fluid and the saving of space within the area surrounding the shelf the container is placed upon.

A dispenser platform for receiving a product container, having a casing, wholly or partially encasing a control panel coupled a control module and a product container receptacle having a product container coupling assembly. The product container coupling assembly includes a first product supply conduit configured to receive a barrel of a product container. A second product supply conduit couples to a reservoir or to a supply of a second product, such as water. The product container holds a first product, such as concentrated coffee, concentrated tea, concentrated flavored drink, flavored syrup (cola) or concentrated juice. Components of the dispenser platform include a pump assembly, a heating and/or cooling assembly responsively coupled to a control panel via a control module and a filter assembly. The product container can be a BOV container or an airless dispensing container.

A replaceable component for a beverage container to be attached to a beverage extraction pipe of the beverage container is provided. The replaceable component for a beverage container includes a tubular member slidable along a longitudinal direction of the beverage extraction pipe and capable of coming in annular contact with an outer circumferential surface of the beverage extraction pipe, and a bag, which is attached to the tubular member, for containing a beverage.

A system and method for determining a liquid level in a vessel is described. Embodiments of the system can include a liquid level measuring assembly, a user device, and a vessel. The liquid level measuring assembly can include an ultrasonic sensor assembly, a control module, and a mount body configured to place the ultrasonic sensor assembly proximate a bottom of a vessel. Typically, the system can be implemented with a vessel having a substantially cylindrical shape and including a chime. The mount body can be adapted to removably couple to the inside of the chime of the vessel.
