摘要： A beverage quantity indicator is provided for use with beverage containers of a type which do not include a visual or other type of indication of the quantity of beverage remaining in the container. The indicator is incorporated into a beverage stand and includes a weight scale for weighing beverage containers on the stand, thus providing an indication of the quantity of beverage within the container. A preferred form of beverage stand is also disclosed. The weight scale on the stand includes a hinge-mounted plate on which a beverage container rests. The hinge-mounted plate is movable generally vertically along an arcuate path. A spring on the beverage stand urges the hinge-mounted plate generally upwardly and the amount of flexure of the spring indicates the quantity of beverage in the container on the plate. A downward-movement inhibitor is included to prevent excessive downward movement of the scale when downward pressure is exerted on the container, such as when dispensing beverages from an airpot-type dispenser which includes a beverage dispensing pump.

摘要： An automatic fluid-flow control system is provided for controlling the quantity of fluid allowed to flow uninterrupted through a conduit. It is particularly useful in controlling potentially damaging floods caused by breakage in a branch plumbing line used to supply water to beverage dispensing appliances, ice-making machines and similar devices which repeatedly consume limited quantities of water in relatively short flow cycles. The fluid-flow control system includes a flow meter which emits a signal containing information about the flow of fluid and also indicating when fluid is flowing and when it is not. The preferred metering device emits pulses at a rate proportional to the flow rate. A counter accumulates a pulse count during each period of fluid flow. A separate pulse sensing network senses the beginning and end of each period of fluid flow and disables and initializes the counter whenever fluid is not flowing. The accumulated pulse count in the counter is proportional to the quantity of fluid passing through the meter. The counter is set to close a solenoid valve whenever a predetermined maximum pulse count is exceeded. A back-up protective circuit is also provided, employing a timer to measure the time interval of each fluid-flow cycle. When the time interval is exceeded, the timer closes the solenoid valve. In addition to the flood protector mode of operation, a configuration employing the same circuit as a dispenser control device is also disclosed.
摘要翻译：提供了一种自动流体流量控制系统，用于控制通过导管不间断地流动的流体的量。它特别有助于控制由用于向饮料分配设备，制冰机器和类似设备供水的断路引起的潜在的破坏性洪水，这些设备在相对较短的流量循环中反复消耗有限量的水。流体流量控制系统包括流量计，其发出包含关于流体流动的信息的信号，并且还指示流体何时流动以及何时不流体流动。优选的计量装置以与流量成比例的速率发射脉冲。计数器在流体流动的每个周期期间累积脉冲数。单独的脉冲感测网络检测每个流体周期的开始和结束，并且每当流体不流动时禁用和初始化计数器。计数器中的累计脉冲数与流过仪表的流体量成比例。每当超过预定的最大脉冲数时，计数器被设置为关闭电磁阀。还提供备用保护电路，采用定时器来测量每个流体循环的时间间隔。超过时间间隔时，定时器关闭电磁阀。除了防洪器操作模式之外，还公开了采用与分配器控制装置相同的电路的结构。

摘要： A quality control apparatus for a beverage held in a beverage container. The apparatus includes a sensor configured to be in thermal communication with the beverage and detect attainment of a first predetermined temperature. The apparatus also includes a timer coupled with the sensor. The timer is configured to commence timing in response to detection of the attainment of the first predetermined temperature by the sensor. The apparatus also typically includes an indicator coupled to the timer and configured to indicate to a user a status of the timer.

摘要： A milk frothing system is provided whereby milk is first frothed by controlled introduction of air, and then heated by circulation in a conduit which passes through a hot water tank. Milk initially is drawn into a milk frother from a cold milk supply, such milk supply preferably being replaceably housed in an onboard refrigerator. Once frothed, milk is directed through a frothed milk conduit, passing through an ambient pressure hot water tank so as to heat the frothed milk. An espresso water conduit similarly may be connected to a water supply, such espresso water conduit passing water through the hot water tank so as to heat the water. The heated water is passed through espresso grounds to produce espresso which is discharged through an espresso discharge nozzle. The hot frothed milk is passed directly through a milk discharge nozzle for use in making a beverage such as cappuccino or the like.
