062300640 | Beverage dispenser | 8 |
20080196415 | Beverage sip cooling system - A sip cooling system for a personal drinking vessel or container including a block of thermally conductive material with a cooling chamber through which drinking liquid flows when the user draws liquid from a flexible tube connected to the chamber outlet. A flexible supply tube connected to the chamber inlet has the remote end immersed in the liquid in the drinking container. A solid state thermo electric cooling device is attached to the block for, upon energization from a battery, cools only the liquid passing through the chamber. In one embodiment, the cooling unit and battery are contained in a cap fitting over an opening in a personal drinking container. In another embodiment, the system is connected in line in a flexible drinking tube connected to a personally carried supply of drinking liquid. | 08-21-2008 |
20100005811 | Beverage Preservation, Chilling, and Dispensing System - A chamber for receipt and retention of a bottled beverage has a dispensing cartridge that interacts with a bottle to remove air therein to preserve the beverage under vacuum and to dispense the beverage under pressure. The vacuum and air pressure within the bottle is applied through a concentric pair of tubes introduced into the bottle as a part of the dispensing cartridge. A reversible pump is in fluid communication with the tubes. The chamber is maintained at a user-selected temperature using a thermoelectric cooling unit. | 01-14-2010 |
20120125016 | DUAL FUNCTIONAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM APPLICATOR SYSTEM - A temperature control system for dispensing a fluid material from an applicator nozzle at a controlled temperature that includes at least one temperature control fluid conduit at least one fluid material supply conduit and at least one manifold device. The manifold device is in thermal communication with the temperature control fluid conduit and the fluid conduit and may also be in thermal communication with the fluid material supply conduit. At least one thermal adjustment device is in thermal contact with the manifold device. The thermal adjustment device includes at least one thermoelectric device such as at least one peltier circuit. The temperature control system also includes at least one sensor positioned proximate to the applicator nozzle that produces at least one signal actionable on the Peltier circuit device. | 05-24-2012 |
20130047631 | WATER DISPENSER - A water dispenser including a water inlet system, a drinking water storage system, a heat-exchange water system, a refrigeration system, a heating system and a water outlet system is provided. The drinking water storage system connects the water inlet system. The refrigeration system connects the drinking water storage system and has a water cooling tank and a first thermoelectric element. The cooling side of the first thermoelectric element contacts the water cooling tank. The heating system connected the drinking water storage system has a low-temperature water heating tank and a second thermoelectric element. A heating side of the second thermoelectric element contacts the low-temperature water heating tank. The heat-exchange system connects the water inlet system, a heating side of the first thermoelectric element and a cooling side of the second thermoelectric element. The water outlet system connects the refrigeration system and the heating system. | 02-28-2013 |

20150128615 | COLD BEVERAGE DISPENSER IMPLEMENTING THERMOELECTRIC COOLING - The invention concerns a chilled beverage dispenser comprising:—a beverage cooling reservoir ( | 05-14-2015 |
20150135728 | THERMOELECTRICALLY COOLED CARAFE AND ASSOCIATED COOLING SYSTEM - A thermoelectrically cooled container is provided, the thermoelectrically cooled container including a container body have an internal cavity and an outer surface. The container further includes a lid assembly removably connected to the container body, and a thermoelectric cooling unit associated with the container body. The thermoelectric cooling unit is configured to cool the container body. | 05-21-2015 |
20160109175 | BEVERAGE MACHINE WITH THERMOELECTRIC COOLER, HEAT PIPE AND HEAT SINK ARRANGEMENT - A beverage making machine having a tank may be arranged to carbonate and/or chill liquid in the tank. A thermoelectric device may be thermally coupled to the tank to cool precursor liquid in the tank, and a heat pipe may transfer heat from the thermoelectric device to a heat sink. The heat sink may be located remotely from the thermoelectric device, e.g., in an air duct that helps prevent contact of moisture, dirt, etc. in the duct with the thermoelectric device. | 04-21-2016 |
