20160107874 | LIQUID DISPENSER WITH OZONATING, RECIRCULATING AND IMPROVED TEMPERATURE CONTROL FUNCTIONS - Liquid dispensing systems which sanitize the liquid and liquid-contacting parts of a liquid dispensing system using ozonation, by periodically flushing the system with ozonated gas or liquid. Also disclosed and claimed are an apparatus and method for controlling temperature variations between the liquid in holding (e.g., cold and/or hot) tanks and the liquid as it is dispensed, which may be used with an Insta-Boil feature. | 04-21-2016 |
20150129607 | ENERGY SAVING HOT TANK FOR WATER COOLER - An energy efficient water cooler assembly and/or liquid dispensing apparatus and method for using same, including an energy-saving baffle, which may take the form of a conventional or bottom load water cooler, and which may be either gravity-driven or pump-fed. | 05-14-2015 |
20150122831 | CHILD SAFETY FAUCET - A liquid dispensing apparatus with a child-safety feature which, in one preferred embodiment, does not permit dispensing unless both a dispensing handle and an associated lever are each independently moved. In another embodiment, dispensing is prevented unless a manually-depressable, rotatable dispensing lever and a rotatable safety lock are both simultaneously actuated. | 05-07-2015 |
20130272923 | LIQUID DISPENSER WITH OZONATING, RECIRCULATING AND IMPROVED TEMPERATURE CONTROL FUNCTIONS - Liquid dispensing systems which sanitize the liquid and liquid-contacting parts of a liquid dispensing system using ozonation, by periodically flushing the system with ozonated gas or liquid. Also disclosed and claimed are an apparatus and method for controlling temperature variations between the liquid in holding (e.g., cold and/or hot) tanks and the liquid as it is dispensed, which may be used with an Insta-Boil feature. | 10-17-2013 |
20130272921 | LIQUID DISPENSER WITH SANITIZING CONTROL FUNCTIONS - Liquid dispensing systems which automatically sanitize the liquid and liquid-contacting parts of a liquid dispensing system, by periodically flushing the system with a sufficiently heated, liquid and/or gas. | 10-17-2013 |
20110100503 | NO-LEAK LIQUID DISPENSER - A dispensing device capable of no-leak dispensing of a liquid when the dispensing device is in fluid communication with a defective liquid container, including an apparatus enabling the movement of liquid from the liquid container to a holding tank in fluid communication with the liquid container and associated with the dispensing device. The apparatus includes one or more sealing mechanisms which permit ambient air to enter the liquid container through an air path as necessary to enable uninterrupted dispensing, and also permits substantially none of the liquid or only minimal amounts of the liquid to flow out of the holding tank and through the air path, in a no-leak manner, during periods when there is no dispensing. | 05-05-2011 |
20110095668 | PANEL ATTACHMENT FOR WATER COOLER - A water cooler with a rapidly detachable exterior panel. A water cooler with a detachable panel may have a wrapper with at least one detachable panel, and the wrapper may have multiple apertures to receive fasteners that may receive corresponding rear surface projections located on the rear surface of the panel. A water cooler with a detachable exterior panel may have a wrapper with at least one detachable panel, and one or more tensioning devices to cause the exterior panel to be placed in frictional and removable engagement against the wrapper. | 04-28-2011 |
20110056981 | ENERGY SAVING BAFFLE FOR WATER COOLER - A water cooler assembly and/or liquid dispensing apparatus and method for using same, including an energy-saving baffle, which may take the form of a conventional or bottom load water cooler. Additionally, various other, alternative features may be included, such as: a door stop mechanism; an adjustable drip tray assembly; a leak stop mechanism; an adjustable bottle interface accommodating dimensional variations in water bottles; an instaboil feature; and various programmable dispensing and visual display modes. | 03-10-2011 |
20090277535 | BOTTOM LOAD WATER COOLER - A water cooler assembly and/or liquid dispensing apparatus and method for using same, having various, alternative features including: a bottom load water cooler, including such a cooler with a door stop mechanism; an adjustable drip tray assembly; a leak stop mechanism; an adjustable bottle interface accommodating dimensional variations in water bottles; an instaboil feature; and programmable dispensing and visual display modes. | 11-12-2009 |
20090242585 | BOTTOM LOAD WATER COOLER - A water cooler assembly and/or liquid dispensing apparatus and method for using same, having various, alternative features including: a bottom load water cooler, including such a cooler with a door stop mechanism; an adjustable drip tray assembly; a leak stop mechanism; an adjustable bottle interface accommodating dimensional variations in water bottles; an instaboil feature; and programmable dispensing and visual display modes. | 10-01-2009 |
