Abstract

Abstract The liquid dispensing stand comprises a supporting seat member having a central opening, a pair of legs having their upper portions secured to the supporting seat member and a base member to which the lower ends of the legs are secured so as to support the supporting seat member in position through the legs. The supporting seat member is adapted to support thereon a liquid containing vessel in upside-down position so that a liquid dispensing member attached to the mouth piece of the vessel projects downwardly through the central opening of said supporting seat member with an appropriate vertical distance held between the liquid dispensing member of the vessel and the base member thereby permitting the liquid in the vessel to be dispensed. Cooling medium may be located between the supporting seat member and the vessel held thereon in upside-down position and/or on the upper surface of the vessel held in upside-down position on the supporting seat member, and a thermally insulating case in the form of an inverted cup shape may be located on the supporting seat member around the vessel so that the liquid in the vessel can be dispensed therefrom at all times in the cooled state. In storing the stand, the thermally insulating case may be housed in the space between the supporting seat member and the base member so that the space for storing the stand can be made to the minimum.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 185 words
Liquid dispensing stand for use with a liquid containing vessel having a mouth piece to which a manual liquid dispensing means is attached, wherein the improvement comprises a supporting seat member having a central opening, a pair of legs having the upper portions thereof secured to said supporting seat member and a base member to which the lower ends of said legs are secured so as to support said supporting seat member in position above said base member by means of said legs, said supporting seat member being adapted to support thereon said liquid containing vessel in upside-down position so that said liquid dispensing means of said vessel projects downwardly through said central opening of said supporting seat member with an appropriate vertical distance held between said liquid dispensing means and said base member thereby permitting the liquid in said vessel to be dispensed in a receiving member located on said base member underneath said liquid dispensing means by operating the same, and cooling medium located between said supporting seat member and said vessel, said cooling medium supporting said vessel and cooling the liquid therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 185 words
Liquid dispensing stand for use with a liquid containing vessel having a mouth piece to which a manual liquid dispensing means is attached, wherein the improvement comprises a supporting seat member having a central opening, a pair of legs having the upper portions thereof secured to said supporting seat member and a base member to which the lower ends of said legs are secured so as to support said supporting seat member in position above said base member by means of said legs, said supporting seat member being adapted to support thereon said liquid containing vessel in upside-down position so that said liquid dispensing means of said vessel projects downwardly through said central opening of said supporting seat member with an appropriate vertical distance held between said liquid dispensing means and said base member thereby permitting the liquid in said vessel to be dispensed in a receiving member located on said base member underneath said liquid dispensing means by operating the same, and cooling medium located between said supporting seat member and said vessel, said cooling medium supporting said vessel and cooling the liquid therein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
Liquid dispensing stand according to claim 1, further comprising a thermally insulating case located on said supporting seat member around said vessel, thereby permitting the liquid in said vessel to be dispensed in the cooled state.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 62 words
Liquid dispensing stand according to claim 2, wherein said thermally insulating case comprises a cylindrical thermally insulating trunk member and a thermally insulating cover member detachably mounted on said trunk member, said trunk member being capable of detached from said supporting seat member and located between the space between said base member and said supporting seat member together with said cover member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 55 words
Liquid dispensing stand according to claim 3, wherein the space between said supporting seat member and said base member is so determined that said thermally insulating trunk member can be housed in said space together with said thermally insulating cover member for reducing the height of said stand when the same is in stored state.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 43 words
Liquid dispensing stand according to claim 1, wherein each of said pair of legs comprises a pair of strip members with their upper portions secured to the periphery of said supporting seat member while the lower ends are secured to said base member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 281 words
Liquid dispensing stand for use with a liquid containing vessel having a mouth piece to which a manual liquid dispensing means is attached, wherein the improvement comprises a supporting seat member having a central opening, a pair of legs having the upper portions thereof secured to said supporting seat member and a base member to which the lower ends of said legs are secured so as to support said supporting seat member in position above said base member by means of said legs, said supporting seat member being adapted to support thereon said liquid containing vessel in upside-down position so that said liquid dispensing means of said vessel projects downwardly through said central opening of said supporting seat member with an appropriate vertical distance held between said liquid dispensing means and said base member thereby permitting the liquid in said vessel to be dispensed in a receiving member located on said base member underneath said liquid dispensing means by operating the same, further comprising a thermally insulating case located on said supporting seat member around said vessel, wherein said thermally insulating case comprises a flexible thermally insulating base member adapted to be located on said supporting seat member with cooling medium located between said flexible thermally insulating base member and said vessel held thereon which is supported and cooled by said cooling medium, and a flexible thermally insulating trunk member with its upper end closed by a flexible thermally insulating cover portion, said trunk member being detachably connectable to said flexible thermally insulating base member by means of connecting means such as fastener means, said thermally insulating base member having a central opening through which said liquid dispensing means projects downwardly.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 281 words
Liquid dispensing stand for use with a liquid containing vessel having a mouth piece to which a manual liquid dispensing means is attached, wherein the improvement comprises a supporting seat member having a central opening, a pair of legs having the upper portions thereof secured to said supporting seat member and a base member to which the lower ends of said legs are secured so as to support said supporting seat member in position above said base member by means of said legs, said supporting seat member being adapted to support thereon said liquid containing vessel in upside-down position so that said liquid dispensing means of said vessel projects downwardly through said central opening of said supporting seat member with an appropriate vertical distance held between said liquid dispensing means and said base member thereby permitting the liquid in said vessel to be dispensed in a receiving member located on said base member underneath said liquid dispensing means by operating the same, further comprising a thermally insulating case located on said supporting seat member around said vessel, wherein said thermally insulating case comprises a flexible thermally insulating base member adapted to be located on said supporting seat member with cooling medium located between said flexible thermally insulating base member and said vessel held thereon which is supported and cooled by said cooling medium, and a flexible thermally insulating trunk member with its upper end closed by a flexible thermally insulating cover portion, said trunk member being detachably connectable to said flexible thermally insulating base member by means of connecting means such as fastener means, said thermally insulating base member having a central opening through which said liquid dispensing means projects downwardly.
Claim 9
