Abstract

A thermally insulated fluid dispensing system that maintains the temperature of fluid to be automatically dispensed to a user in a measured amount upon an object detecting pump actuator of the system sensing an object, such as a hand or container, placed adjacent to a fluid dispensing aperture of a fluid dispenser.

Claims

1. A fluid dispensing system comprising:

a fluid dispenser with a housing;

a fluid container having a thermally insulating shell;

a pump assembly;

an object detecting pump actuator; and

a fluid dispensing aperture.

2. The fluid dispensing system of claim 1 wherein said thermally insulating shell comprises an inner shell wall, an outer shell wall, and a thermal barrier located between said inner shell wall and said outer shell wall.

3. The fluid dispensing system of claim 2 wherein said thermal barrier is substantially a vacuum.

4. The fluid dispensing system of claim 1 wherein said fluid container is removably attached to a fluid container support within said housing.

5. The fluid dispensing system of claim 1 further comprising a fluid bladder within said fluid container.

6. The fluid dispensing system of claim 1 further comprising a fluid level indicator.

7. The fluid dispensing system of claim 1 further comprising an identifying badge attached to an outer surface of said housing.

8. The fluid dispensing system of claim 1 wherein said housing has an inner housing wall, an outer housing wall, and a thermal barrier located between said inner housing wall and said outer housing wall.

9. The fluid dispensing system of claim 1 wherein said housing has a heat reflective outer surface.

10. The fluid dispensing system of claim 1 further comprising a temperature regulator means.

11. The fluid dispensing system of claim 1 further comprising a payment system.

12. A fluid dispensing system comprising:

a fluid dispenser with a thermally insulated housing;

a fluid container within said thermally insulated housing;

a pump assembly;

an object detecting pump actuator; and

a fluid dispensing aperture.

13. The fluid dispensing system of claim 12 wherein said thermally insulated housing has an inner housing wall, an outer housing wall, and a thermal barrier located between said inner housing wall and said outer housing wall.

14. The fluid dispensing system of claim 13 wherein said thermal barrier is substantially a vacuum.

15. The fluid dispensing system of claim 12 wherein said fluid container is removably attached to a fluid container support within said housing.

16. The fluid dispensing system of claim 12 further comprising a fluid bladder within said fluid container.

17. The fluid dispensing system of claim 12 further comprising a fluid level indicator.

18. The fluid dispensing system of claim 12 further comprising an identifying badge attached to an outer surface of said housing.

19. The fluid dispensing system of claim 12 further comprising a temperature regulator means.

20. The fluid dispensing system of claim 12 further comprising a payment system.
