  • Patent number: 7975988
    Abstract: A device for carbonating a liquid (L) in a container (10) with a pressurized gas (G) comprises a receiving flask (20) for the container (10) and a filling head (30) which has means (31) for adding gas into said liquid in the container (10). The receiving flask (20) and the filling head (30) are movable in relation to each other between an insertion position (I) and a carbonating position (C). In the insertion position (I) the filling head (30) is spaced from the receiving flask (20). In the carbonating position, the receiving flask (20) and the filling head (30) are in contact with each other such as to form a substantially closed cavity (19). An interlocking connection directly connects the receiving flask (20) to the filling head (30).

  • Publication number: 20030019802
    Abstract: A domestic water filtration system includes a first water treatment unit (7) with a replaceable ion exchange resin water softener cartridge (15) accommodated in a canister (19) and a second water treatment unit (8) with a replaceable filter cartridge (16) including an activated carbon block (16a) wrapped with a depth filter (22a) and a membrane filter (22b). A flow control device comprising a three way valve (2) has an inlet (12) for connection to the mains water supply and two outlets (13, 14) respectively connected to the inlets of the water treatment units (7, 8) so that rotation of the valve spindle (10) in one direction from an off position allows water to flow to the inlet (3) of the first treatment unit (7) and in the other direction from the off position allows water to flow to the inlet (5) of the second treatment unit (8).
