Abstract: A dispenser includes a water supply flow path to guide water supplied from a water supply source toward a filter; an auxiliary flow path to branch off at the first point of the water supply flow path and then to merge into a second point located downstream of the first point; a flow switching valve installed at the first point to control a flow from the water supply flow path to the auxiliary flow path; a water ejection nozzle through which filtered is ejected; a hot water module forming a heating flow path and configured to heat the purified water into hot water; a hot water flow path configured to guide the hot water passing through the hot water module toward the water ejection nozzle; and a controller to control the flow switching valve and the hot water module.

Abstract: A purifier includes a housing, a filter, a supply flow path supplying water from a source to the filter, a supply valve on the supply flow path to regulate flow through the supply flow path, a nozzle provided outside of the housing, a purified liquid flow path to guide liquid from the filter toward the nozzle, a hot liquid flow path having one side branched from the purified liquid flow path and another side connected to the nozzle, a hot water module provided to heat liquid in the hot liquid flow path, a sterilization flow path having one side branched from the supply flow path and another side connected to the filter, a sterilization valve provided on the sterilization flow path to regulate flow through the sterilization flow path, and a sterilization module provided on the sterilization flow path to heat liquid in the sterilization flow path.

Abstract: A water purifier includes a water purifier body including a housing and a filter provided in the housing to filter raw water introduced from outside of the water purifier body. A water discharge module including a water discharge nozzle is disposed on a front surface of the water purifier body to supply the water passing through the filter to the outside of the water purifier body. The water discharge module includes a case from which the water discharge nozzle extends at a lower end of the case. A protection cap is detachably coupled to the lower end of the case to cover at least a portion of the water discharge nozzle extending outside of the case.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, first and second doors opening or closing the storage compartment, and a pillar configured to block cool air from leaking between the first and second doors. The refrigerator also includes a hinge that rotatably connects the pillar to the first door and a holder disposed on the storage compartment and configured to guide rotation of the pillar. The hinge includes a rotation shaft that enables the pillar to rotate with respect to the first door and a rotation restriction unit that is configured to contact the holder and, based on the contact with the holder, move the rotation shaft in a direction parallel to an extension direction of the rotation shaft. The rotation restriction unit selectively restricts the rotation of the pillar with respect to the first door.
