Abstract: A countertop ice making device with a small countertop footprint that is easily refillable within the constraint of an overhead cabinet is disclosed. The ice making device includes an integrated, removeable water tank that can be removed laterally from underneath a cabinet. The icemaking device reduces the need for any extra external tubing and reduces the amount of potential extra leak points and is aesthetically pleasing.

Abstract: A reconfigurable water dispenser riser assembly to elevate a water dispenser. The water dispenser riser assembly has multiple components that can be reconfigured and arranged to match a specific water dispenser. The water dispenser riser assembly includes an interchangeable, uniform core component that differing top plates and front plates can be attached and secured to. The top plate of the riser can be switched out, as needed, to match, attach and secure to a specific base of a specific water dispenser. The front plate of the assembly can also be chosen to match the aesthetic, shape and size of a specific water dispenser.

Abstract: A variable temperature control assembly for a water dispenser, using a variable water temperature selector, that delivers water to the consumer at the temperature requested on the variable temperature selector by calculating the required ratio of hot water, cold water and ambient water needed to deliver water at the temperature requested.
