  • Patent number: 9408495
    Abstract: Device for producing a frothed liquid comprising a chamber opened to atmosphere with a transverse bottom wall and a longitudinal upward wall, at least one diluent inlet, at least one liquid delivery outlet. The diluent inlet is provided through the upward wall and is dimensioned and oriented for directing a thin jet of diluent in the chamber. The at least one liquid delivery outlet is configured in the bottom wall for liquid to rise up along the side of the upward wall by the jet of diluent entering the chamber as a result of the direction and dimension of the diluent inlet in the chamber.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9307859
    Abstract: Device for producing a frothed liquid comprising a chamber opened to atmosphere with a transverse bottom wall and a longitudinal upward wall, at least one diluent inlet, at least one liquid delivery outlet. The at least one diluent inlet comprises a first diluent inlet provided through the upward wall and dimensioned and oriented for directing a thin jet of diluent in the chamber. The at least one liquid delivery outlet is configured in the bottom wall for liquid to rise up along the side of the upward wall by the jet of diluent entering the chamber as a result of the direction and dimension of the diluent inlet in the chamber.

  • Patent number: 8240510
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-way valve device, particularly for household appliances, comprises a hollow body (11) and an axially movable piston (12) mounted inside this hollow body. The body (11) is provided with at least one inlet orifice (15) for a liquid solvent and at least two outlet orifices (16, 17) for this solvent. The movable piston (12) is coupled with an axially movable measuring stem (31) of a linear measuring element (30) of a solid substance, this measuring stem (31) being actuated by a mechanical actuator (32) and associated with a return spring (35). This movable piston (12) is arranged so as to move in one direction, freely, or against the pressure of the return spring (35), under the effect of the pressure of the liquid solvent applied at the inlet orifice (15) to this movable piston (12), and in the opposite direction, under the effect of the pressure applied to the measuring stem (31) by the return spring (35).
