Abstract: A beverage brewer (20) with a dispenser valve (34) for passing brewing liquid from a supply (30) under control by a programmable dispenser cycle dispenser valve controller (36) to intermittently pass the liquid to a uniform flow dispenser head (38) during preselected duty portions (92) of a plurality of control periods (CP1-CP20, FIG. 5B) in order to independently control the total quantity dispensed and the duration of the dispense period (88). The uniform flow dispenser head (38) has a closed body with a perforated bottom (64) that is intermittently filled with brewing liquid during the duty portion selected for each of the control periods to provide a uniform vertical spray across an open top of a uniform ingredient holder (24) within which is held a cylindrically shaped layer of beverage ingredient (70) in order to achieve uniform contact of the brewing liquid with all the beverage ingredient.

Abstract: A beverage brewing system includes a brewer (30) and a serving cart assembly (62, 70) having a cart (74) for supporting a serving dispenser (64) for rolling movement and having cart guide members (68A, 68A') cooperating with brew cycle members (66A, 66A') to guide the serving cart assembly into proper alignment with an inlet nozzle of dispenser beneath a beverage outlet (60) of the brewer (30) for direct receipt of freshly brewed beverage into the dispenser (66).

Abstract: A brewing system with a brewer (30) and urn support member (64A) for movement of the urn (66) between a first position (FIG. 4B) in which the urn is aligned beneath the brewer (30) for receipt of beverage from the brewer (30) and a second position (FIG. 4C) in which the urn (66) in a position removed from alignment beneath the brewer (30) to facilitate removal of the urn (66) away from the support by the support member (64A). The filled urn (66) is moved to the removal position (FIG. 4C) before being removed from the urn support member (64A).

Abstract: A printing assembly (10) having a printer (30) and a single sheet transport mechanism (22) for automatically transporting discrete sheets seriatim from within a tray held in a tray receptacle (32) to the printer and a discrete sheet load enhancement apparatus with a holder (24) of an auxiliary supply of printable stock (18), a removable open tray (20) with a feed opening (40) accessible for receipt of discrete sheets (14) of printable stock fed within the feed opening while releasably mounted within the tray receptacle and a continuous discrete sheet feeder and producer (16) for automatically feeding the sheets (14) seriatim from the separate supply of printable stock (18) through the feed opening (40) into the removable open tray (20).

Abstract: A brewing system (30) with a beverage holding tank (124) and a spray assembly (300, 302, 304) for spraying hot water onto interior surface (314) of the tank (124) to clean the tank (124). The hot water is passed to a dispenser urn (66) by both a brew valve (176) and a by-pass valve (170) only so long as a flush switch (54') is held in an actuated position, and the hot water is then pumped from the dispenser urn (66) to the holding tank spray assembly (300, 302, 304).
