Abstract: A liquid dispenser having a drop-in/lift-out reservoir that can be readily disassembled from or assembled to a housing, permitting easy cleaning of the reservoir, and not requiring the detachment of hoses or fittings. In another embodiment, alcove adaptors are provided that can be selectively used to permit various liquid dispenser configurations to be operably connected to the housing assembly.

Abstract: A readily disassemblable cabinet for a liquid dispensing system includes a supporting frame assembly having a base plate and a shelf, and further includes readily removable front, rear, and side panels and a separately removable top support and top panel. Readily removable metal rods are provided to secure individual base, shelf and top support components to the frame assembly. Such rods permit the quick removal of the system components and thus facilitate routine maintenance of the liquid dispensing system while minimizing the number of tools required to service the unit. The upper surface of the shelf supports a readily removable reservoir and the underside of the shelf is formed with brackets for receiving cross pins which removably support a hot tank for pivotal and translational movement toward and away from a valved waterway suspended below the reservoir.

Abstract: A liquid dispenser is provided including a cabinet housing a liquid reservoir open at its upper end and readily releasable from engagement with the evaporator coil of a refrigeration unit for removal from the cabinet. The reservoir is surrounded by insulation which may be removed in sections. The dispenser also includes a removable valve assembly with inlet couplings press-fit to the reservoir outlets and to the inlets and outlets of a hot tank removably suspended below the valve assembly and liquid reservoir. The valve body is formed with separable parts connected together along a parting line to facilitate opening for cleaning. The valve operating lever for the hot water discharge is provided with a safety interlock catch to prevent inadvertent discharge of hot water from the valved faucet.

The reservoir is surrounded by insulation which may be removed in sections. The dispenser also includes a removable valve assembly with inlet couplings press-fit to the reservoir outlets and to the inlets and outlets of a hot tank removably suspended below the valve assembly and liquid reservoir. The hot tank may be pivoted down and shifted away from the valve assembly to facilitate removal of the latter. The valve operating lever for the hot water discharge is provided with a safety interlock catch to prevent inadvertent discharge of hot water from the valved faucet. The hot tank drain is also provided with a recessed cam-operated compression valve to facilitate authorized draining of the hot tank with a suitable cam engaging tool but to preclude inadvertent draining of the hot tank by a child.

Abstract: An electric oven utilizing the recirculation of heated air at high velocity to cook food by impinging jets of such air directly against the food in an oven enclosure of low thermal mass which is divided into a cooking space which separates upper and lower plenums from which air is discharged through nozzle openings in perforated air distribution plates. The oven is provided with air ducts, parts of which are readily disassemblable for cleaning purposes.

Abstract: A vibration dampening support for mounting a structure horizontally includes a stationary mounting bracket with an inside U-shape configuration and an inwardly projecting lug. There is also an elastomeric bushing located in the mounting bracket with the back wall abutting the lug of the mounting bracket. The bushing includes a top and bottom section connected to each other at the back wall by a hinge and the bushing has a cavity through the front wall to receive the structure to be mounted. The bottom section of the bushing has an outside configuration complimentary to the inside U-shape configuration of the mounting bracket. There is also a strap secured to the mounting bracket and engaging the top section of the bushing.
