Abstract: The present invention relates to a carbonator device for use in refrigeration appliances and beverage distributors having a reservoir that has a tank portion and a lid portion and a plurality of connections for technical components provided on the lid portion. The reservoir is supplied with water and carbon dioxide and the technical components allow for a variety of water dispensing options.

Abstract: A refrigeration appliance includes at least one water reservoir and a piping system connecting the water reservoir to a water dispenser and device for maintaining the water reservoir at a predetermined temperature. The piping system is designed for allowing a recirculation of water from and to the water reservoir in order to assure that the water delivered by the dispenser is at the correct temperature.

Abstract: A refrigerator incorporating in its door a water dispenser within a compartment present on the outside of the door, the dispenser being connected to a water container of given capacity carried by the door and provided to enable the contained water to be carbonated via a connection to a cylinder that contains the carbonating gas and is also disposed in the door.

Abstract: A device suitable for dispensing drinks and the like, in particular one that can be used on kitchen sinks and worktops, comprises a cylindrical central body provided with a dispensing nozzle, a device for controlling dispensing and/or mixing, and at least one connection to a source of drinks. The central body of the device provides for a ring-type portion that can be connected to the stem of an ordinary tap system for dispensing water existing on the sink or worktop.
