  • Patent number: 11371224
    Abstract: The water-dispensing method for furniture incorporates a water recovery process, a water STT process, and a discharge process. The water recovery process: a) converts water contained in a gas phase in the atmosphere into water in a liquid phase; b) initially treats the converted liquid phase water to remove microorganisms and other chemical contaminations; and c) transports the initially treated liquid phase water to the water STT process. The water STT process: a) receives and stores the initially treated (liquid phase) water from the water recovery process; b) subsequently treats the stored water with a final treatment to remove microorganisms and other chemical contaminations; and, c) transports the treated stored water to the discharge process. The discharge process: a) receives the water from the water STT process after the final treatment; and, b) controls the discharge of the water received from the water STT process.
