Liquid dispenser with sliding flow regulator

This invention describes a device that dispenses liquid from a disposable container. The container sits inside an enclosed unit, held above a mechanism that controls the flow. Liquid flows by gravity through a tube, and a sliding clamp on this tube opens or closes to let the liquid out or stop it. The dispenser also includes a way to cool the liquid as it flows, specifically for pre-filled containers with an internal liner.

Why it matters: Filed before compact, efficient cooling systems were widely available for consumer appliances. The rise of pre-filled, disposable liner systems for various beverages, combined with improved miniaturized cooling technology, makes an integrated chilled dispenser more practical and appealing today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom enclosure, cooling system, mechanical valve
