    摘要: Containers having a portioned amount of a cleaning composition located in an internal volume are provided for cleaning a portion of a beverage making machine. The external size and configuration of the container is designed to fit within a carrier in a single (or multi-) serve beverage making machine. The container is insertable in the carrier in the place of a beverage making pod, cup, cartridge or the like. Following placement of the container in the carrier, the beverage making machine may be operated to perform a regular brew cycle or a specialized cleaning cycle in which water is introduced to the internal volume of the container and cleaning solution is released from the container, optionally under pressure, to contact and clean internal surfaces of the container carrier.

    摘要: A flask has a body, base, mouth, and one or more indicia to enable preparation of beverages with a desired temperature. Specific embodiments include the preparation of baby formula and tea. The one or more indicia can show one or more levels, quantities, or both. A level or quantity contained within the flask has a proper percentage of liquid, as calculated and so embedded as a feature into the flask, while the corresponding indicium on the flask for the level or quantity shows the total amount of liquid needed, so that the preparation of temperature sensitive beverage with a desired temperature will be convenient and quick. In another aspect, a method for preparing a temperature sensitive beverage fills a flask up to a volume shown by one or more indicia, heats the liquid in the flask, and combines the heated liquid with unheated liquid to attain a beverage with a desired final volume and a desired final temperature.

    摘要: Described are a cocktail preparation system, a liquid measuring and mixing device, and a method of measuring and mixing liquids. A liquid measuring and mixing device involves a measuring cup comprising a circular cross-section and one or more protruding cavities thereof joined by a plurality of support members spanning a length of the circular cross-section, the one or more protruding cavities being of calculated volumes for the purpose of accurately measuring volumes of liquid. A cocktail preparation system includes the measuring cup as described in addition to a mixing cup within which the measuring cup fits to form a sealed cocktail shaker for the purpose of mixing of the measured volumes of liquid. A method of measuring and mixing liquids involves accurately measuring two or more volumes of liquid in the measuring cup, placing the measuring cup within the mixing cup, and subsequently shaking the combination to create a cocktail.

    摘要: A powdered drink mix dispensing assembly includes a stand that may be placed on a support surface. A hopper is coupled to a top end of the stand. The hopper has powdered drink mix stored in it. A dispenser is coupled to a bottom end of the hopper. The dispenser is selectively actuatable so the dispenser dispenses a measured amount of the powdered drink mix. A bottle is positioned beneath the dispenser. The bottle contains a fluid. The bottle receives the measured amount of powdered drink mix so the powdered drink mix is mixed with the fluid.

    摘要: A sensor head/brew cup with liquid level sensor probes which rotate down into the server to avoid damage to the probes by the server. The sensor head/brew cup moves as a unit, thereby eliminating any gap between the brew cup and the sensor head through which the brewed liquid must pour, thereby preventing spillage. The moveable sensor head/brew allows beverage brewing devices to use servers of various heights. Raising the sensor head/brew cup causes the level sensor probes to rotate upward out of the server, thereby protecting the probes from impact by the server when it is removed from the brewing device. When the level sensor probes are in the upward position they touch electrical contacts completing a self-test circuit confirming electrical continuity through the level sensor probes.

    摘要: The present invention provides a beverage maker having an in-line heating assembly for heating water to make hot beverages such as coffee and tea. The heating assembly defines a flow path that runs past a plurality of heaters for heating water to a desired temperature. In this manner, the beverage maker heats water as it travels, alleviating the need for a water tank or vessel, resulting in increased savings in weight and size, as well as reducing brew time. Additionally, an optical sensor assembly is provided to detect when a serving container of the beverage maker has a prescribed capacity of liquid within it. The sensor assembly includes at least one light source aligned to shine into the container and at least one detector aligned to detect light reflected off the liquid surface within the container. A drainage assembly is also provided that can drain liquid through either a connector port into an airplane's wastewater system or through a drainage port into a drainage sump.

    摘要: The present invention is using the elementary principle that a containers weight varies with the amount of fluid the container is containing. This observation is used in the present invention to show the amount of fluid in the container by a simple weight measurement of the container. The container/jug is placed on or hung one or more springs (FIG. 2.B.) or other material with the same elastic characteristic. The indicator of the fluid level is achieved by the inner containers position read in comparison to the outer container (FIG. 1.C). As the container/jug is emptied, the weight decreases and the inner container will get a higher rest position and a further bigger part of the inner container (indicator) will be visible. FIGS. 1 and 2 (left container) illustrate a jug filled with coffee (fluid). The spring is calibrated in a way that the inner container (A) has a rest position, where it is nearly invisible and covered by the outer container (C). FIGS. 1 and 2 (right container) illustrate a jug that is nearly empty. The inner container now has a considerable lesser weight and a high rest position. It gives a visual effect indicating the amount of fluid in the jug and it will be possible to make that estimate at a distance. As the jug empties the weight gets lesser and the container will get a rest level on a higher position and a rising part of the indicator will be visible. The advantages of the invention are the possibility from a distance to determine how much fluid the container/jug contains without shaking/lifting the jug, because the container/jug is changing form depending on how much fluid its contain.

    摘要翻译: 本发明使用容器重量随容器所含流体量变化的基本原理。 在本发明中使用这种观察来通过容器的简单的重量测量来显示容器中的流体的量。 容器/水壶放置在或悬挂一个或多个弹簧(图2.B.)或具有相同弹性特性的其它材料。 通过与外部容器(图1C)相比读取的内部容器位置来实现液位指示器。 当容器/水壶倒空时,重量减轻,内部容器将获得更高的静止位置,内部容器(指示器)的更大部分将可见。 图 1和2(左容器)示出了充满咖啡(流体)的壶。 弹簧的校准方式是内部容器(A)具有静止位置,其几乎不可见并被外部容器(C)覆盖。 图 1和2(右容器)说明几乎是空的罐子。 内容器现在具有相当小的重量和高的静止位置。 它给出了一个视觉效果,指示水壶中的液体量,并且可以在一定距离进行估计。 当水壶清空时,重量会变小,容器将在较高的位置得到休息,而指示器的上升部分将可见。 本发明的优点在于远距离地确定容器/水壶中没有摇晃/提升水壶的液体的含量,因为容器/壶根据其含有多少流体而改变形式。
