  • Publication number: 20190300354
    Abstract: A dispensing device having a fitting housing with at least one first conduit for a carbonated liquid, a nozzle insert disposed in the at least one first conduit, wherein the nozzle insert has a guide channel with a first diameter, with which the carbonated liquid can be guided to a baffle wall of the nozzle insert so that the carbonated liquid can be vortexed by the baffle wall, an expansion space located downstream of the nozzle insert, wherein the expansion space has a second diameter which is greater than the first diameter of the guide channel, and an outlet opening disposed downstream of the expansion space and through which the vortexed carbonated liquid can exit the dispensing device.

  • Patent number: 9085879
    Abstract: An electronic control switch with at least two operating states for water faucets. The control switch has at least one control section, a base section, and a guide for a motion of the two sections relative to one another. At least one sensor is located in one section and at least two magnets are located in the other section, or alternatively at least two sensors are located in one section and at least one magnet is located in the other section, and each magnet associated with an operating state enters a detection region of a sensor at least at times in the course of the relative motion. The magnets at least have different magnetic field strengths or different spacings from the sensor.
