Abstract

A water dispenser is provided that includes an upper chamber for receiving liquid, a triptych-layer filtering assembly operably coupled to the upper chamber, a lower chamber operably coupled to the triptych-layer filtering assembly for dispensing filtered liquid, and a float assembly system. In one embodiment, the float assembly is operably coupled to the upper and lower chambers. The float assembly system may include a float body, a float valve and a float seal.

Claims (7)

1. A water dispenser, comprising:

an upper chamber for receiving an unfiltered liquid, the upper chamber having an aperture at a bottom thereof for the liquid to be filtered to pass through the aperture;

a multiple-layer filtering assembly operably coupled to the upper chamber and in communication with the aperture for the unfiltered liquid to pass through a siphon tube in communication with the filter assembly;

a lower chamber operably coupled to the multiple-layer filtering assembly for receiving filtered liquid therefrom through the siphon tube; and

a float assembly system operably coupled between the upper and lower chambers, the float assembly system including a float body configured to open and close a float valve depending on a level of the filtered liquid in the lower chamber, wherein the float assembly system lifts upon rising water levels in the lower chamber causing a float seal to contact the float valve and preventing overflow of the lower chamber.

2. The water dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the float assembly system comprises the float valve that automatically opens when the water level in the lower chamber reaches a predetermined level.

3. The water dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the float assembly system resumes water flow through the multiple-layer filtering assembly upon withdrawal of the filtered liquid from the lower chamber.
