Embodiment Construction

[0028] now refer to figure 1 , in which is shown an exploded view of the main components of a first embodiment of the invention, generally designated 2 . The assembly 2 of this embodiment includes a water bottle 4 having an open end 8 and a closed end 6 . Preferably, the water bottle 4 is made of transparent material such as transparent plastic or glass. A fluid valve 10 is provided in the bottle 4 which is actuated by a float 12 via an actuating arm 14 . Fluid valve 10 may draw water from a continuous water source, such as a building's water mains (not shown). Preferably, water from said source passes through a series of filters (not shown) before entering fluid valve 10 . The purification process may be reverse osmosis, or carbon block filtration, which is well known in the art.

[0029] A gasket 16 is located at the open end 8 of the bottle 4 . Preferably, the gasket 16 is made of a resilient material such as rubber or Teflon  (Teflon) made. The gasket 16 can be pre...

Abstract

A drinking fluid dispenser (24) includes a bottle (4) positioned on a dispenser base (20). Mounted inside the bottle (4) is a valve (10) closely connected to the float (12) via an actuator arm (14). The valve (10) is located above the fluid (52) of the bottle (4) and is connected to a continuous flow fluid source. During normal operation, when the liquid level (50) of the fluid (52) rises and falls in the bottle (4), the float (12) floating on the fluid (52) by buoyancy closes and opens the valve respectively. The dispenser also has a pressure tube (18) with a hole through said bottle (4) above the fluid (52) of said bottle, thereby maintaining atmospheric pressure inside the bottle (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the storage and dispensing of fluids, and more particularly to the storage and dispensing of potable fluids in water coolers. Background technique [0002] Bottled water coolers are already used by consumers as a preferred source of drinking water. In existing bottled water coolers, a refillable bottle filled with purified water sits atop a pedestal. The base includes a sump having at least one tap. The bottle and the reservoir are in fluid communication with each other. When the user turns on the tap, water flows from the reservoir, which in turn draws water from the bottle. When the water in the bottle is used up, the bottle needs to be replaced. [0003] Bottled water coolers as described above have a number of inconveniences. First, replacing empty bottles with full ones is quite an effort. Specifically, it requires a person of considerable physical strength to place a filled bottle on top of a pedestal. Misa...
