Handheld steamer for clothing

A beverage machine () has: a beverage processing module () with a liquid inlet () and a module fastening arrangement (); and a liquid supply tank () with a liquid outlet () and a tank fastening arrangement (). The outlet () is fluidically connectable to the inlet () and disconnectable therefrom. The fastening arrangements () comprises a female connector () and a male connector () cooperating with the female connector () for reversibly assembling the module () and the tank (). The fastening arrangements () further comprise at least one pair of a support surface () and a resilient member () cooperating together for urging the male connector () into the female connector () so as to fasten the tank () to the module.

Easy connection of a liquid tank to a beverage machine

A beverage preparation machine () comprises: a beverage preparation module () having a front face () with an outlet () for dispensing a prepared beverage; and a cup support () located under the outlet () for placing a cup () under the outlet (). The cup support () comprises a liquid collection receptacle () supporting a removable cup placement platform () that has a peripheral part (). The collection receptacle () is delimited by at least one upright peripheral sidewall () forming a seat (') for placing the platform (). The peripheral part () extends over and above the peripheral sidewall () when the platform () is placed in the seat (&#x2032;) so that the platform () is seizable at the peripheral part () adjacent the peripheral sidewall () by a user-hand for removing the platform () from the receptacle ().

Removable cup support platform on collector receptacle

A beverage preparation machine () comprises: a beverage preparation module () having a front face () with an outlet () for dispensing a prepared beverage; and a cup support () located under the outlet () for placing a cup () under the outlet (). The cup support () has a rear face () removably assembled to the front face () by a mechanical connector arrangement () that comprises a front hook () on the front face () disassemblable from a corresponding rear hook () on the rear face (). The rear hook () has a retaining element () and the front hook () has a retaining element (), the retaining elements () being mutually engaged when the cup support () is assembled to the front face () and disengaged when the cup support () is disassembled from the front face (). The retaining element () of the rear hook () extends generally in parallel to the rear face () and the retaining element () of the front hook () extends generally in parallel to the front face (), so that the rear face () and the front face () are relatively slid in parallel one over another to move the retaining elements (): together from disengagement into mutual engagement to assemble the rear face () to the front face (); and apart from mutual engagement into disengagement to disassemble the rear face () from the front face ().

Beverage machine with slidingly connectable cup-support

A beverage preparation machine () has: an extraction unit with a closed configuration for extracting a capsule () therein and an open configuration for removing the used capsule () therefrom; and a service unit () located under the extraction unit () and forming a receptacle having a collection cavity () for collecting the used capsule () and residual liquid projections () from the extraction unit (). The service unit () has an upright wall () delimiting at least one through-passage () for favouring air circulation from inside the cavity () to outside the machine (). The through-passage () is angled away from the direction of the liquid projections from the extraction unit () so as to inhibit the passage of the liquid projections through the through-passages.

A beverage preparation machine () comprises a user-interface () that has: a generally peripheral illuminatable arrangement () formed of illuminatable parts (A-F,A'-H&#x2032;,A-G,A-F,A-B,A-H,X) and extending around an inner portion (); and a control arrangement () for activating and deactivating an illumination of the illuminatable parts. The control arrangement () has at least one configuration for activating part of the illuminatable parts (A-F,A&#x2032;-H&#x2032;,A-G,A-F,A-B,A-H,X), for instance to successively activate consecutive parts (A-F,A&#x2032;-H&#x2032;,A-G,A-F,A-B,A-H,X) in a turning sequence about the inner portion () and optionally either deactivate all the parts simultaneously after activation of all the parts or successively deactivate previously activated parts at the same pace as the activation pace or at a lower pace.

Dental appliance

A beverage preparation system () comprises: &#x2014;a first machine () for preparing a first beverage ('&#x2033;), the first machine having a first outlet () for dispensing a beverage, such as coffee, onto a beverage dispensing area () for positioning a cup or mug (); and&#x2014;a second machine () for preparing and dispensing a second beverage (&#x2032;&#x2033;) via a second beverage outlet (), the second machine being disconnectably connected to the first machine and separable therefrom. The first and second machines (), when connected, are configurable so that the second outlet () is positioned or positionable adjacent to the first outlet () to dispense the second beverage (&#x2032;&#x2033;) onto the beverage dispensing area () and into a cup or mug () in position for collecting the first beverage (&#x2032;&#x2033;) from the first beverage outlet.
