A water heater system for a water dispensing fountain having a refrigerated water reservoir, is disclosed. The water heater system is comprised of a plastic molded hot water tank formed in a support membrane. A feed conduit is also formed in the membrane and extends from a connector, which secures to the bottom wall of the refrigerated water reservoir, to the bottom end of a serpentine array of the conduit which extends upwardly to the bottom wall of the hot water tank. The purpose of the serpentine conduit is to prevent hot water from the tank from flowing back into the refrigerated water reservoir. A dispensing conduit extends from the hot water tank and is located at a position whereby water can be extracted from a valve connected thereto by gravity flow. An exhaust pipe also extends from the hot water tank and is provided with an exhaust port located above the top water level of the refrigerated water reservoir whereby to exhaust water pressure vapors from the hot water tank.

Water heating system for water dispensing fountains

A liquid container support housing is provided with a removable container support dispenser which is seated at an open top end of a removable liquid holding reservoir provided in the support housing. The container support dispenser has a central upwardly projecting feed probe on a bottom wall thereof and which is dimensioned to enter a cap secured over an opening of a neck end of a liquid container supported in an inverted position on the container support dispenser. The feed probe has a plug engaging end adapted to disconnect a sealing plug formed integral with the cap, when the probe enters a central sealing sleeve of the cap in close sealing fit therein, and for engaging the plug spaced from an internal end of the sleeve when disconnected therefrom. The feed probe has a liquid conduit therein to channel liquid from the liquid container into the liquid dispensing reservoir of the support housing. The feed probe further has an air conduit having a small opening in a top part of the probe below the plug engaging end and dimensioned to provide pressure control to dispense liquid from the container into the holding reservoir by admitting the necessary amount of air within the reservoir.

Bottled water dispenser system

A counter-height water dispenser which is comprised of a housing having a top wall disposed at substantially counter height. A water reservoir is supported in a top part of the housing. The reservoir has an open-top end section and a bottom cooling well section. The top wall is formed as a cover which is removably secured over an open area of the housing for access to an opening in the open-top end section of the reservoir. A compressor and condensor coil is mounted below the reservoir with a cooling coil being associated therewith. The cooling coil is disposed about the well section of the reservoir. An outlet port is provided in the well section and is connected to a low-pressure electric pump. The pump has an outlet tube connected to a dispensing faucet which is removably secured on the top wall of the housing adjacent the open area. The faucet has a low-pressure sealing coupling in its connection with the outlet tube. A drip tray is positioned in front of the faucet and a switch actuates the pump to dispense water from the reservoir through the faucet at low pressure so that water in the faucet will flow back in the outlet tube and reservoir when the pump is deactuated whereby the low pressure joints are not subject to pressure when water is not dispensed.

Counter-height water dispenser

Water refrigeration and dispensing unit

A water cooler comprising a support base having a top wall with a top opening therein. A refrigerating coil is located inside the base and supported a predetermined distance from the top opening. A one-piece removable well having a liquid retaining reservoir and a support flange wall, is removable supported on the top wall of the support base with the support flange in support contact on the top wall and the reservoir extending through the top opening with a lower portion of the reservoir disposed internally of the refrigerating coil and in close fit therewith. The reservoir has an upper portion with separating means being provided for separating the lower and upper portions and permitting liquid flow therebetween. The support flange is provided with a support wall disposed about the reservoir for supporting a liquid container having a bottle neck. The container is supported in an inverted position with the bottle neck extending into the upper portion of the reservoir above the separating means. The container support wall permits air flow between the reservoir upper portion and atmosphere and about the container.
