Abstract
A combination water dispenser with heating mechanism including a reservoir having an automatic inlet means for replenishing water into the reservoir and a controlled water outlet means for dispensing water from the reservoir. The reservoir includes a reservoir heating element which has an applied electric current for heating the water. An indicating means for indicating the activation and deactivation of the reservoir heating element is included on the dispenser. A user actuated means adapted to simultaneously activate the reservoir heating element and the indicating means is positioned on the dispenser. A temperature regulating means responsive to the temperature of the water monitors the temperature of the water during the heating of the water. The dispenser includes an automatic deactivation means adapted to deactivate the reservoir heating element upon receiving a signal from the temperature regulating means.
Claims (20)
1. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism comprising:
(a) ~at least one reservoir having an automatic inlet means for replenishing water into the reservoir and a controlled water outlet means for dispensing water from the reservoir;
(b) ~a reservoir heating element within the reservoir operable from an applied electric current for heating the water in the reservoir;
(c) ~an indicating means for indicating the activation and deactivation of the reservoir heating element;
(d) ~an user actuated means adapted to simultaneously activate the reservoir heating element and the indicating means;
(e) ~a temperature regulating means responsive to the temperature of the water; and (f) ~an automatic deactivation means adapted to deactivate the reservoir heating element upon receiving a signal from the temperature regulating means.
(a) ~at least one reservoir having an automatic inlet means for replenishing water into the reservoir and a controlled water outlet means for dispensing water from the reservoir;
(b) ~a reservoir heating element within the reservoir operable from an applied electric current for heating the water in the reservoir;
(c) ~an indicating means for indicating the activation and deactivation of the reservoir heating element;
(d) ~an user actuated means adapted to simultaneously activate the reservoir heating element and the indicating means;
(e) ~a temperature regulating means responsive to the temperature of the water; and (f) ~an automatic deactivation means adapted to deactivate the reservoir heating element upon receiving a signal from the temperature regulating means.
2. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein the combination water dispenser has a single reservoir that dispenses both hot water and room temperature water.
3. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein the automatic inlet means is a gravity flow feed system.
4. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 3 wherein the gravity flow feed system further includes a one way check valve that engages in a closed position when the water in the reservoir is replenished.
5. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein the controlled water outlet means is a single dispensing tap.
6. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein the reservoir heating element is a conventional electric resistance heating element having an applied AC current when the combination water dispenser is activated.
7. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein the indicating means is a visible indicator mechanism.
8. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 7 wherein the visible indicator mechanism is an indicator light.
9. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim I wherein the indicating means is an audible indicator.
10. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein the user actuated means is a manually engaged member.
11. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 10 wherein the manually engaged member is a biased button.
12. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein the temperature regulating means is a series of thermistors calibrated to monitor the desired temperature of the water.
13. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein the combination water dispenser includes a second reservoir.
14. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 13 wherein the second reservoir has a reservoir cooling element within the reservoir operable from the applied electric current for cooling the water in the reservoir.
15. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 14 wherein the controlled water outlet means includes a first dispensing tap for hot or room temperature water and a second dispensing tap for dispensing cooled water.
16. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 15 wherein the automatic inlet means is a gravity flow feed system.
17. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 16 wherein the indicating means is a visible indicator mechanism.
18. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 17 wherein the user actuated means is a manually engaged member.
19. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 18 wherein the manually engaged member is a biased button.
20. A combination water dispenser with user activated heating mechanism as claimed in claim 19 wherein the temperature regulating means is a series of thermistors calibrated to monitor the desired temperature of the water.
