Publication number: 20230061739Abstract: A system for dispensing fluid is provided in which a first fluid cartridge and a second fluid cartridge each comprise a first spout at corresponding fluid outlets, and wherein a docking location is provided for docking each of the fluid cartridges such that the first spout is adjacent the second spout. The system may further comprise a drop sensor for detecting a number of drops dispensed from the fluid cartridges at a drop detection location. The docking location may define a specific orientation for any cartridge docked at the docking location, and the cartridges may be wedge shaped and may each taper towards their corresponding spouts. Also provided is a fluid cartridge comprising a cartridge housing, a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet above a fluid fill level, and a syphon for transporting fluid from inside the cartridge to the fluid outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2020Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Lee von Kraus, Sunjay Guleria, Grant Kenji Larsen, Marcel Ipince, Cameron Hughes, Mohini Boparai Guleria

Patent number: 11124404Abstract: A system for carbonating fluid is provided comprising a gas supply and a fluid vessel for carbonating fluid, the fluid vessel having at least one internal surface for obstructing a return path of the gas to an upper surface of the fluid after injection. A retainer retains the fluid vessel relative to the gas supply and a gas injector injects gas from the gas supply into the fluid vessel. During use, the gas injector injects gas below a fluid level within the fluid vessel.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: BE THE CHANGE LABS, INC.Inventors: Lee von Kraus, Sunjay Guleria, Mohini Boparai Guleria, Neil Guleria, Will McLeod, Christian von Heifner
