Abstract: A filter for a water cooler includes a housing having a surface and a cavity with cavity ports. The filter end is adapted to be received in the housing. The filter end includes a cylindrical base having a surface and a neck extending from the surface. The neck has filter ports and a side surface. The side surface has oppositely directed axially extending elongated protrusions configured to be received in channels in the housing. The base surface includes a complex set of protrusions which are adapted to be received in a similarly configured set of recesses in the housing surface. The protrusions/recesses may take the form of letters, numbers or symbols. The filter end is be fully seated in the housing in bayonet-type fashion to connect the filter ports and the housing ports o permit water to flow through the filter from the water supply to the water cooler.

Abstract: A wall mounted filtering system includes a chassis having an outwardly facing planer surface, a central recess bay and at least one of an upper recess bay and a lower recess bay. The system includes a face plate covering at least a portion of the outwardly facing planer surface and a filter assembly including at least a first stage filter oriented horizontally within the at least one bays and attached to the chassis via a first hinge, the first stage filter being operably coupled to the chassis with the first hinge and second hinge to tilt outward between an initial filter position in which the first stage filter is located within at least one of the upper recess bay and the lower recess bay below the outwardly facing planer surface, and a final filter position in which the first stage filter extends outward from the outwardly facing planer surface.

Abstract: A water inlet pipe connects a water supply to a faucet. A water flow control valve in the water inlet pipe regulates the flow of water through the water inlet pipe from the water supply to the faucet. A drip tray located beneath the faucet captures water overflow. A conduit connects the drip tray a storage container such that water in the drip tray drains into the storage container. A water level sensor associated with the storage container generates a overflow signal when the water level in the storage container reaches a pre-set level. The water flow control valve automatically prevents water flow through the water inlet pipe to the faucet in response to the overflow signal. A visible display and a sound generator are also energized in response to the alarm signal.

Abstract: A member within a container is reciprocated to vibrate the container contents. A drive unit is releasably connectable to the reciprocating member so that the drive unit can be used for other purposes, such as for driving the reciprocal members of other containers when not required for the container in question. The drive unit comprises a reciprocal output member with a releasable mechanism for drivably connecting the output member with the reciprocal member of the container and a device for removably mounting the container on the drive unit.
