Abstract: A variable fluid dispenser for a refrigerator utilizes a variable control suitable for varying the rate of fluid dispensing by the dispenser. In some instances, the variable control may include a rotary control actuator that varies the fluid dispensing rate of the variable dispenser, and in some instances, the variable control may include a variable control actuator movable between a range of positions that includes a home position at which the variable dispenser is deactivated. In such instances, movement of the variable control actuator away from the home position both activates the variable dispenser to dispense fluid and increases the fluid dispensing rate of the variable dispenser.

Abstract: A refrigerator appliance having a quick fill dispenser to rapidly fill a container. The refrigerator may include a water storage receptacle. The water storage receptacle may be in fluid communication with a water filter. The water storage receptacle may dispense water at a flow rate greater than the flow rate entering the water storage receptacle. A valve may be downstream of the water storage receptacle.

Abstract: A portable foodstuff container and method of dispensing foodstuff from the portable container are disclosed herein. Such a portable foodstuff may include a portable body with a reservoir configured to contain a foodstuff and a dispenser configured to dispense the foodstuff contained in the reservoir, a pump disposed within the body and configured to convey the foodstuff from the reservoir to the dispenser when activated to dispense the foodstuff through the dispenser, and a controller disposed in the body and coupled to the pump. The controller may be configured to activate the pump to dispense a user-selected amount of foodstuff from the dispenser.

Abstract: A detachable firefighting attachment is provided for a personal watercraft having a discharge nozzle. The attachment includes a tubular body having a lower end and upper end. There is a firefighting nozzle mounted on the upper end of the body. A fitting at the lower end of the body is shaped to fit the discharge nozzle of the personal watercraft. Water discharged from the discharge nozzle passes through the conduit to the firefighting nozzle. A forward mount is connected to the body and includes a first component releasibly connectable to the personal watercraft. There may be a steering nozzle communicating with the body adjacent to the fitting. There may be a diverter within the body adjacent to the steering nozzle for diverting water from the personal watercraft through the steering nozzle.
