Food waste disposer

An organic waste disposer 10 such as is commonly mounted to a kitchen sink 12 has mounted next to it a device 14 for injecting a predetermined quantity of bio-enzyme material into the disposer's grinding chamber each time the motor of the disposer is turned on.

Apparatus for comminuting organic waste and injecting bio-enzymes into

A low profile water distiller has a housing. A steam chamber is located within the housing having a horizontal dimension greater than its vertical height. A condenser is also located within the housing having a horizontal dimension greater than its vertical height. The vertical height of the condenser is generally the same as the vertical height of the steam chamber. A raw water conduit extends in a generally horizontal plane within the housing for delivering water to be distilled into the steam chamber. A steam conduit also extends within the housing for delivering steam from the steam chamber to the condenser. The steam conduit extends in a generally horizontal plane parallel to the generally horizontal plane of the raw water conduit. An air circulation channel within the housing draws cooling air through the condenser in a generally horizontal path parallel to the generally horizontal planes of the raw water conduit and the steam conduit.

Low profile water distiller

An adjustable mounting system for mounting an article such as a low profile water distiller in kitchen cabinets or similar spaces of widely varying dimensions. The system includes support arms received in telescoping relationship in channels located on the article, which are affixed at their ends, that may be angled downwardly, to a horizontal cross member that is mountable on a rear mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has a plurality of vertically displaced notches for receiving and supporting the horizontal member. Alternatively, the bracket may be provided with an indentation at the top of each flange of the bracket. In this embodiment vertical adjustment is by means of holes in the arms at different vertical displacements. The distiller is provided with a horizontal channel adapted to telescopingly receive the arms. A forward bracket is provided to adjustably support the forward end. The forward bracket preferably includes two L-shaped bracket arms connected to the forward sidewalls of the supported article which bracket arms have ends telescopingly receiving a cross member that supports the front of the article. The cross member is provided with upwardly extending pins that are received in apertures in the bottom surface of the article.

A steam chamber has a bottom portion that defines a tray for holding water to be distilled and a top portion for collecting steam created in the chamber by heating the water in the tray. An outlet conducts steam from the top portion of the steam chamber to a condenser. A check valve occupies the outlet for opening communication between the steam chamber and the condenser in response to steam pressure above atmospheric pressure in the steam chamber and for closing communication between the steam chamber and the condenser in the absence of the steam pressure in the steam chamber. In a preferred arrangement, a baffle member extends between the tray and the top portion of the steam chamber for allowing steam to enter the top portion of the steam chamber while preventing water globules carried in the steam from entering the top portion of the steam chamber.

A water distiller has a housing having an open interior area and a door that can be opened and closed to permit and block access into the interior area. A steam chamber is located in the interior area. The steam chamber includes a movable tray for holding water to be distilled. The tray seats against a fixed top where steam created in the chamber by heating the water in the tray is collected. By opening the door to the distiller, the tray can be unseated and removed for cleaning. After cleaning, the tray can be returned to the distiller and reseated against the top steam collecting portion by closing the door. In a preferred arrangement, the tray includes a chamber for holding a water soluble disinfectant for release during the distillation process.

Water distiller having operating portions that can be removed for

A continuous water distillation system has a steam chamber assembly and a condenser assembly for making steam and condensing the steam into purified water. An associated holding tank collects the purified water for dispensing upon user demand. The quantity of purified water is continuously sensed in the holding tank. A controller coordinates the operation of the steam chamber assembly and the purified water delivery mechanism to dispense purified water from the holding tank upon demand and automatically make and replenish the supply of purified water. In one arrangement, a first sensor continuously senses the purity of the water collected in the holding tank, while a second sensor continuously senses the purity of the water entering the steam chamber assembly. In another arrangement, the condenser assembly includes a cooling fan with a replaceable air filter, and the purified water dispenser includes an inline water filter. The controller prompts the user to replace the air and water filter according to different operational criteria.

A faucet assembly with removable filter has a bottom housing portion attached to a source of water. A top housing portion that includes a spout means attaches and detaches from the bottom housing portion. A valve assembly carried in the bottom housing is movable between a closed position, blocking the passage of water through the bottom housing portion into the attached top housing portion, and an opened position permitting the passage of water through the bottom housing portion into attached the top housing portion. A filter is removably carried within the hollow interior of the top housing portion between the valve assembly and the spout. The filter makes sealing engagement with the valve assembly and with the spout as the top housing portion is attached to the bottom housing portion. The filter breaks the sealing engagement as the top housing portion is detached from the bottom housing portion to permit removal of the filter from the detached top housing portion without otherwise disconnecting the faucet from the water source.
