Translating Treatment Cartridge, Fluid Dispensing System, and Method of Using

摘要

A dispensing system having a treatment cartridge utilizing linear translation of the treatment cartridge within the manifold to actuate a valve to dispense a fluid. To dispense the fluid, a person pushes their glass or other container against a dispensing lever that translates the treatment cartridge within the manifold causing a cam surface on the filter's circumferential exterior to actuate a valve sending the fluid from the valve though the treatment cartridge and out a dispensing orifice in the treatment cartridge into the glass.

1. A method of dispensing a fluid comprising:
positioning a translating treatment cartridge having a housing with an inlet orifice and a dispensing orifice into a manifold, the manifold having a cartridge bore surrounding a central axis of the manifold and a fluid inlet; moving the translating treatment cartridge linearly along the central axis from a first position to a dispensing position causing the fluid to flow from the fluid inlet, though the inlet orifice, through the translating treatment cartridge, and out the dispensing orifice.
