A device for dispensing liquids in a desired ratio comprises conduits (52-57) extending from containers (50, 51) of the liquids to a mixing chamber (60) wherein the liquids are mixed and from which the mixture is dispensed. Located in each of the conduits is a valve means (60, 61), and the dispenser comprises flow sensing means (27, 33) comprising a flow meter for each liquid which is operative to produce an output signal proportional to the quantity of liquid flowing through the conduit. The flow sensing means comprises a flow control member (27) rotatable by flow of liquid through the conduit at a rate proportional to the rate of flow of liquid, and detection means (12, 13) is provided which is operative to detect the rate of rotation of the flow member. In this way the relative proportions of the two liquids flowing into the mixing chamber (60) may be measured, so that the appropriate valve means may be operated to terminate flow of that liquid which is in excess.

Beverage dispensing system (10) for use with a collapsible beverage container (28) containing beverage. The beverage container defines in a non- collapsed state a top wall having a container outlet (38), an opposite bottom wall (42) and a cylindrical wall (44) connecting the top and bottom walls and comprises a housing defining an inner space (32) adapted to receive the beverage container. The beverage dispensing system further comprises a cooling element located within the inner space and comprising a contact cooling surface. The contact cooling surface has a curvature corresponding to the curvature of the beverage container (46) which juxtaposing and contacting at least 10% of the cylindrical wall, the bottom wall and/or the top wall of the beverage container when the beverage container is received in a non- collapsed state within the inner space.

A beverage dispenser particularly adapted for use in the home is disclosed which dispenser includes a source of pressurizing fluid, a diluent tank, dispensing valves and packages of concentrate which are interchangeably insertable in the valves. The flows of pressurizing fluid and diluent are conducted through a manifold which is integral with the dispensing valves and the diluent tank and source of pressurizing fluid both being provided with quick disconnect couplings to permit ease of removal and replacement, the elements of the dispenser disposed on a base with the diluent tank and source of pressurizing fluid surrounded by removable covers to provide an attractive, compact and low cost dispensing unit. The package of concentrate are of special design so that they can be interchanged, will not leak when removed from the machine, and will open in response to machine movement.
摘要:
An automatic dosing valve for mixed drinks machines comprising, a coupling structure (2), a liquid flow structure (8), a dispenser piston (6) and an eccentric shaft (7). The dosing valve fits in the bottle through the coupling structure (2), which will fit in a mixed drinks machine through a support structure with linear guides making, at the same time, connection with an electric motor through the eccentric shaft (7). The linear movement of the dispenser piston (6) is ensured by the eccentric shaft (7) which goes through it, which is driven by the electric motor embedded in the machine. The rotational action in the electric motor, above the eccentric shaft (7) will broadcast a linear movement vertically in the dispenser piston (6) allowing to block or release the liquid passage from the inside the bottle to the dosing chambers (11).
摘要:
A refrigeration system control apparatus for use with an ice bank (10) for sequentially cycling a refrigerator compressor (16) on and off based on sensed conditions. The system includes a first temperatures probe (120) located a first distance from a refrigerator evaporator coil (14) and a second temperature probe (122) located a second, greater distance from the refrigerator evaporator coil (14). A programmable controller (130) monitors temperature outputs from the first and second temperature probes (120, 122) and turns on and off the refrigerator compressor (16) based upon a rate of change of the temperature difference between the sensed temperatures of the first and second probes (120, 122).
