  • Publication number: 20070152074
    Abstract: An electronic kitchen faucet dispensing apparatus capable of dispensing measured operator-selectable quantities of hot or cold liquid into a container with a flow rate suitable to prevent splashing and loss of the ensuing mixture while maintaining a rapid flow rate to quickly fill larger containers. The dispensing faucet can be used for measuring liquids required for preparing recipes, making instant beverages, or in the preparation of pre-packaged foods, and may be retrofitted to an existing faucet. The apparatus may utilize various controls to automatically control liquid flow, including 1) flow sensors and control valving; 2) positive-displacement pumps; and 3) flow-restrictors with shut-off valves. Also, it can be connected to a garbage disposal to prevent damage to the disposal.
