BOTTLED WATER DISPENSER

摘要

A bottled water dispenser is similar in size to those available on the market today. An upright five gallon bottle (10) slides onto a dolly (11) and is held fast to the dolly (11) by a stretch cord (). The dolly (11) with bottle (10) is wheeled into the bottom of the dispenser. Alternately, the dispensing system may be assembled upon the dolly (11) itself. A tube (15) with a rubber stopper (45) at one end and a check valve (16) at the other end is inserted into the bottle (10). Pushing a button (31) on the dispenser cabinet (40) activates an internal electric pump (24). The pump (24) draws water from the bottle (10) through the check valve (16) and forces it out of the spigot (33) under pressure. Internal solenoid valves (K2-6) force the water through a heating unit, cooling unit or filtration system before exiting through the spigot (33). Each temperature is achieved by pushing a different colored button (SW1-3). The dispenser operates on 240V AC, 120V AC or 12V DC. It has a built in auxiliary battery back up (B1) in the event of power outages or for portable use. The dispenser can be mobile on wheels, free standing, or built into a kitchen cabinet.
