Abstract:
A portable storage device to contain fuel. The device is designed to be relatively light-weight to allow for movement around a fueling facility, and to be delivered to the fueling facility through the air. The device includes a number of separate tanks each configured to contain fuel. A suspension protects the tanks by absorbing external forces that could occur in the event the device is dropped during air delivery.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a control unit comprising an input/output interface to receive a selection of a product, a dispensing unit in communication with the control unit, the dispensing unit receiving commands from the control unit, the dispensing unit configured to generate a first portion of the product in a first position and generate a second portion of the product in a second position, and a shifting mechanism coupled to the dispensing unit, the shifting mechanism moving a product containing device from the first position to the second position when the first portion of the product is complete, wherein the dispensing unit is configured to generate a portion of a second product in the first position when the dispensing unit is generating the second portion of the product in the second position.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a beverage dispensing device (1) containing carbon dioxide dissolved by means of a pressurised gas, comprising a reservoir (2) containing the beverage, a pressurised gas source (3) and two means for refrigerating (4, 400) the beverage, in the form of a portable self-contained system, including a lower part (8) forming a first housing receiving the beverage reservoir (2), an upper part (10) forming a second housing receiving the pressurised gas source (3) and the refrigerating means (4), and an aerial part (38) supporting means dispensing (26) the beverage forming a top (24) for the upper part (10), the upper (10) and lower (8) parts delimiting the body (7). The cooling means (400) consists of an insulated compartment (70) containing a coil (6) arranged between the reservoir (2) and the dispensing means (26) and a refrigeration compressor (72) cooling the conduit (6) or coil and the reservoir (2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mobile liquid dispenser (100) operating without auxiliary energy and/or ancillary devices. A pressure tank (111) is located inside a housing (110) having a moving mechanism (112) and a push handle (113), said tank being filled with liquid and having a pressurized gas layer on top of said liquid. A filling tube (114) is provided in order to fill liquid from a supply network. An ascending tube (118) runs upwards from the bottom of the pressure tank (111) and ends in a self-closing coupling (119). A sealing element (10) is allocated to the ascending tube (118) allowing for the liquid to run through and preventing the pressurized gas layer from escaping. A water hose (130, 131, 132) can be connected to the coupling (119). Alternatively, an additional housing (12) having a collecting basin can also be mounted, which can be filled via an ascending tube (121) and a water outlet (123) with a shut-off valve (124). The ascending tube (121) has a coupling (125) corresponding to the coupling (119) on the ascending tube (118) located in the housing (110). The inventive liquid dispenser (110) is particularly suitable for mobile drinking bowls for livestock.
Abstract:
A product dispensing apparatus includes a first drawer assembly including a first drawer containing a first product; and one or more refrigerated cylinders that is operable to receive the first product; where the first drawer is selectively movable from a first position to a second position, the second position extending outwards and away from the first position.
Abstract:
An apparatus for low volume dispensing of soft drinks preferably uses no mechanical refrigeration equipment, depending instead on heat transfer from a bin of ice to cool water and soft-drink syrup for beverages. A heat-exchange plate desirably includes transfer lines for incoming water to and from a carbonator. A portion ofthe heat exchange plate, or a second heat exchange plate, includes transfer lines for syrup and for carbonated water. The carbonated water is used to cool the syrup through the second heat exchange plate, and is also mixed with the syrup to dispense a soft drink. Heat from the incoming water and syrup is removed by melting ice in the ice bin, which may be replenished as needed.
Abstract:
A cooler having a beverage dispenser adapted for seating within the cooler. The beverage dispenser is removably arranged in the cooler, either within the main interior compartment of the cooler or in its own compartment and includes a manually operated pump assembly with a rotatable dispensing arm. The cooler may have a one-piece lid or a split lid, with one portion of the split lid covering the main compartment and another portion covering the beverage dispenser. The cooler may also have wheels and a pull handle. The lid may be attached to the cooler with an integral hinge which limits the angle through which the lid may be opened.
