Abstract: A pump, spray or suction actuated dispenser with a suction tube extending into a container, wherein the suction tube is used to mount an ornamental figure.

Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing beverages from containers including a housing having an outer surface, canisters arranged in the housing for defining compartments in which beverages from the beverage containers are received, one in each compartment, spigots mounted on the outer surface of the housing and arranged in flow communication with the compartments for enabling individual dispensing of the beverages from the compartments, and a single thermoelectric unit for cooling or heating the beverages received in all of the compartments. The thermoelectric unit has a first conductor plate thermally coupled to the canisters, a second conductor plate spaced from the first conductor plate and thermally isolated from the canisters and at least one thermocouple arranged between the first and second conductor plates. Each thermocouple includes a pair of semi-conductor elements made from a semi-conductor material.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing a fluid at a predetermined flow rate by metering a metering liquid. The apparatus including a deformable liner adapted to hold the fluid and a tank having an inner surface defining a tank interior. The tank is adapted to support the deformable liner substantially within the tank interior. The apparatus also includes a metering pump operably connected to the tank and adapted to transfer a metering liquid between the deformable liner and the inner surface of the tank such that the deformable liner will be deformed so as to force the fluid from the tank at a predetermined flow rate as determined by metering the flow rate of the metering liquid through the metering pump.
