Abstract: A water dispenser is provided for dispensing hot water, cold water, and carbonated water, all of which is filtered. The dispenser includes a housing defining a front dispensing face, a rear face, opposite side walls and a bottom wall. A filter is mounted in the housing and has a rear end connectable to a source of water and a front end accessible at the front face of the housing to facilitate replacing the filter. A dispensing faucet is disposed at the front face of the housing. A hot water tank is located at one side of the housing and has an inlet for receiving filtered water from the filter and a hot water outlet near the dispensing faucet for delivering hot water thereto. An ice bank assembly is located at an opposite side of the housing and has an inlet for receiving filtered water from the filter and a cold water outlet near the dispensing faucet for delivering cold water thereto. A compressor is mounted on the bottom wall of the housing and is coupled to one end of the ice bank evaporator. A condenser coil is mounted at the rear face of the housing and is coupled between the compressor and an opposite end of the evaporator. A carbonator has an inlet for receiving filtered water from the filter and an outlet near the dispensing faucet for delivering carbonated water thereto.

Abstract: A dispenser is provided for dispensing the extrudable contents of a collapsible container having a nozzle through which the container can be discharged by collapsing the container. The dispenser is of a piston/cylinder device, with the piston having a container-engaging face provided with a contoured structure of a predetermined configuration corresponding generally to a collapsing profile of the collapsible container. An elongated flexible valve device is slidably mounted relative to the housing and includes a coupling end coupled directly to a trigger member of the dispenser and a valve end for opening and closing an opening in the housing which defines the cylinder of the device. The flexible valve device is a band member of plastic material and is operatively associated with a mechanism for holding the valve open when a cover of the housing is removed and for automatically closing the valve when the cover is replaced. A pistol grip handle and the trigger of the dispenser are ergodynamically configured for ease of operation. A set of interchangeable stop cams are provided for positioning between the trigger and the pistol grip handle for selectively determining a metered amount of material to be dispensed by the dispenser for each actuation of the trigger.

Abstract: A game of the type having a large number of balls, a set of targets responsive to contact with the balls, and a scoring mechanism for keeping a score associated with contact between the balls and the targets further includes a tiltable rebound surface. A ball pump raises the balls from an input to an elevated output and discharges the balls from the output to cause the balls to fall in space onto the rebound surface. A user controlled steering mechanism is coupled to the rebound surface to allow a user to tilt the rebound surface as the balls fall onto the rebound surface in order to direct the balls that bounce off of the rebound surface against selected ones of the targets. The ball pump includes a rotatable drive element that is movably mounted adjacent a ball guide to frictionally engage the balls and advance the balls towards the outlet of the ball pump.
