This is my 29th year at Waterford Apartments were the lifestyle is excellent.
While no apartment is perfect, Waterford is a great place to live. The management staff is great to work with.
It is getting old and needs many updates and repairs. The manager is great and maintenance is great too, but someone needs to invest some money soon as I can see serious deterioration since I moved in.
Maintenance can be slow, and I have never had a working garbage disposal (in 2 apartments).

The Kansas City Chiefs introduced Andy Reid as their new coach at a press conference on Monday. Reid, who has more than two decades of experience at the NFL coaching level, is the 13th head coach in Chiefs history. He coached the Philadelphia Eagles for 14 years. "My family and I are very excited to join the Chiefs organization and the Kansas City community," Reid said. "I want to thank the Hunt family for allowing me the opportunity to lead this storied franchise. "The Chiefs have always had a passionate fan base and I'm looking forward to Sundays at Arrowhead Stadium. We've got a lot of work to do to get ready for next season, and we are going to get started immediately." Reid was fired by the Eagles last week following a 4-12 season. He was reportedly close to being named the Arizona Cardinals coach a day after being let go by Philadelphia, but opted for Kansas City instead. "We are thrilled to welcome Andy to the Chiefs family," Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. "Throu...

Cameron - UK won't pay that £1.7bn EU demand - Truthloader
- published: 27 Oct 2014
- views: 450
Prime Minister David Cameron has told MPs in the House of Commons that Britain will not pay \"anything like\" the £1.7 billion which is being demanded by the European Commission in additional contributions to the EU budget, In a statement to Parliament, he made clear that he believes the row triggered by last week\'s request for more cash is undermining support for British membership of the EU, and warned that Brussels must change if it is to regain taxpayers\' trust.

I have recently received my new sewer bill and noticed there is no way to pay this bill without accruing additional fees. The options presented are quoted here:
"Mail-In Payments: Payments by check, payable to The City of Chattanooga, TN must be mailed to the Payment Processing Center address shown on the invoice. Do not mail cash. Do not mail payments to the local city office in Chattanooga. Payments mailed to any location other than the Payment Processing Center of the City of Chattanooga, TN, P.O. Box 12001, Hemet, CA 92546-8001 will delay processing which may result in late charges and/or disruption of water services." Some customers do not have a way to pay this bill with a check (i.e. me). I am sure (though it is not specified) customers would be able to pay with a money order, but again customers would accrue a fee (cost of the money order) in addition to the billed amount since cash connote be mailed.
"24 Hour/Day Pay-Buy-Phone: Credit card, and check payments can be made through our 24-hour Automated Payment phone system by calling (888) 673-9479. A $3 convenience fee will be added to your transaction." A $3 convenience fee added to this option equals more than customers owe.
"24 Hour/Day Pay-Via-Web: Credit card, debit card, and check payments may be made on the City website. A $3 convenience fee will be added to your transaction." Customers still have to pay more than is owed.
"Walk-in Payments: Cash and debit card payments can be made at selected retail locations. A list of locations is available online at www.chattanooga.gov. A processing fee will be added by the establishment. Processing fees vary by establishment." I have personally looked into this option and, the establishments are not yet configured on the website. I called customer service to locate the establishments; not yet established. Jody, who answered the line, assured me there will be a processing fee at all locations.
"Recurring Payments: Customers may choose to have their bill paid automatically through the Recurring Payment Program. Payments are processed on the invoice due date for the full balance on the account plus a $3 convenience fee. Declined or returned payments are subject to bank charges and collection fees." Again, results in customers paying more than stated amount due."
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem in the Chattanooga area? Why should another party have their hands in my pocket in order to pay a debt owed to another? Is this legal? As we all know, times are tight. I am sure there are many others like me and, even worse off, who would like to pay what is owed and no more.
* * *
Mr. Betbeze, these extra "convenience" fees were the first thing I noticed when I read my new sewer bill. A $3 fee is equivalent to a 10 percent fee on my bill of $30. Charging me an extra ten percent just for the privilege of paying my debt is outrageous.
Since the time you wrote this, Mr. Betbeze, the website has been updated with the available payment locations: Wal-Mart stores. In my experience, a trip to Wal-Mart is never convenient.
The city must offer at least two truly convenient locations where customers can pay in person with cash or check, without incurring extra fees.
Jeremy Barrett
James, thank you for pointing out the excessive "processing" fees. Don't you think a billing and payment processing firm could have been found a little closer than California? Chattanooga, perhaps? You know, J.O.B.S.?
When I get my bill, I'm going to pay it at one of the 25 conveniently located "Art of Change" meters scattered across the city.
David Unruh
I got mine, and I will send a check. Blame the bloodsuckers at TAWC for this, not the city.
We should have and still should take them over.
Mark Rudisill
Yes, I will blame the city. They are the ones that are making us pay a fee to pay them money. Or mail it to California, really? How much does it cost the city for that payment center to process the payments?
Elaine Cornwell
* * *
Just got mine today.
I, too, noticed that the new company charges $3 as a "convenience" to take our money. But in many cases, so does the TAWC.
This company apparently is not connected with the TAWC but the sewer charge is obviously related to water usage with total disregard for water used for purposes that don't result in discharge into our sewer system. Then, again, so did did the TAWC.
And, not connected with the TAWC, but your water service will be terminated if the sewer bill is not paid. In their defense, however, what recourse would they have for those (most of us) who wouldn't pay this bill otherwise, except to pump your sewage back to you.
And, the return envelope is addressed to the city of Chattanooga, TN in Hemet, CA. The city of Chattanooga, TN is not in Hemet, CA. Didn't fool me for a minute.
With all due respect, little as is due, to our current mayor, this problem (recapturing sewer maintenance and repair costs) has been brewing for a very long time. Now we're stuck footing a large bill for previous department and financial mismanagement. Familiar theme in government these days, no?

GOP House Candidate Suggests 'Second Amendment' Response To Border Crisis
Jody Hice, a Republican candidate to replace Rep. Paul Broun in Georgia's congressional delegation, told a conservative radio show last week that "we have the responsibility as individuals and as states to step up in those areas where our federal government will not," and suggested that people might have to take up arms in response to "a government that refuses to secure our borders."
In an interview with Liberty Conservatives last week, Hice predicted (correctly) that Texas would send National Guard troops to the southern border in response to the crisis of children fleeing violence in Central America.
But then he went further. In response to a question about the border crisis, Hice said, "that is the reason we have a Second Amendment."
"Ultimately, it's not about hunting and fishing and that type of thing," he said. "It's about our ability as individuals to defend ourselves, be it in our own private property, but most importantly, ultimately, it comes down to the right of defending ourselves against tyranny should our government ever become a threat to our liberties. And when you are talking about a government that refuses to secure our borders, you are talking about a government that is not taking seriously its responsibility to defend us."
"We have the responsibility as individuals and as states to step up in those areas where our federal government will not," he added.

The last time Texas right-hander Brandon McCarthy faced Baltimore, it was his final start for 11 months.
The oft-injured Ranger is hoping Tuesday night's start against the Orioles at Rangers Ballpark will be the spark he and his teammates need after dropping four straight following a 3-0 start.
McCarthy (1-0, 5.40 ERA) looks for his second victory of the season after giving up three runs and four hits over five innings in Thursday's 12-8 victory over Cleveland. McCarthy, though, also walked four and gave up two home runs in his season debut.
"A hundred pitches over five innings is a lot different than 100 over seven," he said following his 105-pitch effort against the Indians.
He makes his first start against the Orioles since Sept. 20, 2007, when he allowed five hits in four scoreless innings as the Rangers lost 6-3 in 10 innings. After that 67-pitch outing, McCarthy did not make an appearance until Aug. 23, 2008, while recovering from inflammation in his right forearm.
Acquired from the Chicago White Sox following the 2006 season, McCarthy pitched just 27 games the past two seasons due to an array of hand, arm and shoulder injuries.
"It sucks that's a part of my past, but I was fortunate not to have any surgeries," he told the Rangers' official Web site during the exhibition season. "I'm back healthy now, it's in the past."
On Tuesday, McCarthy—0-1 with a 3.75 ERA lifetime against the Orioles— looks to slow down a Baltimore club averaging 6.1 runs and 10.3 hits in its first seven games. The Orioles tagged Rangers pitchers for 16 hits in Monday night's 10-9 win in the opener of the three-game set.
"We played very unselfish baseball at the plate," said Orioles manager Dave Trembley.
Baltimore's 1-2-3 hitters—Brian Roberts, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis— continued their hot start with six combined hits, while Aubrey Huff went 4-for-5 with three RBIs.
"I just came in here and relaxed," Huff said. "I finally got some pitches to hit tonight."
Huff is 5-for-9 with a home run and three RBIs lifetime against McCarthy.
The Orioles (5-2) send Alfredo Simon (0-1, 7.20 ERA) to the mound Tuesday for his second start of the season. In his second career start on Thursday, the 27-year-old right-hander allowed four hits and four runs over five innings in an 11-2 loss to the New York Yankees.
Simon held the Yankees scoreless for three innings before giving up two home runs in a three-run fourth. Trembly pulled Simon after he gave up a leadoff single to open the sixth.
"I thought Simon was teetering," Trembley said. "He was basically a one-pitch guy, and after they hit the ball out of the ballpark a couple times against him, I didn't want to see them get some multiple hits against him right there because he left on a decent note."
Tuesday will be Simon's first career appearance against Texas, which is averaging 9.5 runs and 12.0 hits while winning three of four at home.

|I used to hate cookery, but now I love it :D
From time to time, I'll see someone who has attempted to end their life on Social Media.
That sentence already looks odd having written it, but I know that's how the modern world now works: people who have no connection to the 'reality' they live in and feel closer to the virtual friends they've never met, but end up being more confident talking to. Those who don't feel they have 'friends' to turn to in reality, but know if they cry for help via Twitter or Facebook? Someone will hear them. Except that's not a certainty, not even close to one. Throwing your life into the lap of strangers? That's not something I think I'd ever recommend to anyone, and still an increasing number of people feel this is all they have. So this makes me wonder why, and so I go back to my personal issues for answers.
As someone who was diagnosed with Post Natal Depression, I feel I ought to try and give a sense of what it does to your mind, but no two women are the same. It isn't just psychological circumstances either, geography and pride play equally significant parts in the equation. For a long time I'd just avoid the issues altogether or pretend they didn't exist, or find ways to avoid going out, making myself a deliberate prisoner in my own home. The straw that broke me was the day I ended up alone having had both kids safely in other people's hands, and realising I was physically scared of even going to the Supermarket. I sat in the car and sweated for 30 minutes before forcing myself inside where I felt so sick and confused I ended up having a full on panic attack. Then I knew: this was ridiculous. I was 42. I couldn't live normally like this, and I needed help. So I went and found it.
|Fossils are a hobby I also enjoy :D
As a Mother, you're always judging yourself, pretty much from the moment you wake until the time you sleep. Nothing you do is ever good enough, how you act and what you feed your kids, if they're happy or unhappy, how you discipline them, whether you should shout or not... the list is literally endless. Then there's the moment when you genuinely stuff up or something happens that is out of your control... and you're screwed either way, because your brain will inevitably decide this shows the world what a terrible mother you are. Everybody's a critic, nobody seems to care, and you're expected to just deal with it all like everyone else does. Except, you can't.
You need to ask for help. And the Internet, beautiful and brilliant as it is, is not necessarily the answer everyone will need.
|Rocks in all their forms are beautiful
In fact, and this may not make me hugely popular for saying, I'd argue that the better option for many is not to reach out to the people who seem to care more, but to actually try and talk to those who seem to care less but exist in your reality, because those are the ones who you'll need to work with to improve your situation. A cry for help is all well and good, but it does not actually solve the real issues you may feel you are facing. Yes, it may also get you the medical attention you need, but sometimes it is far better if you can find the strength within yourself to reach out yourself without having to resort to the drastic. Because if there's nobody to hear you? If you pick the moment and nobody hears the cries?
There is no second chance.
I cannot stress this enough: for all the stories of the people who got lucky and managed to be saved, there are the countless people who take their own lives and are lost forever. Brilliant, beautiful people who never come back, who cannot be returned to their friends and families. Suicide is absolutely the last place you should ever go. You should never let yourself get there, and you can absolutely prevent even needing to be the cry for help. You need to find the strength inside yourself, and that is I know the hardest thing in the whole World to say or write, but it is doable. I know this, because I've done it, and I know countless people who are living, walking attestants to the same. The hardest thing you will ever have to do in your life is ask for help.
The best thing you'll ever do for yourself is asking for help early, and often.
So, I took an hour out of my holiday today to sit here and write a post to remind people they are never alone, even if they feel they are. It isn't impossible to ask for help from your husband or your mother, however much you might hate them for coping better than you do. You don't need the Internet to be there for you, however seductive the notion might be of using it to grab some attention (and I know that's not what you're thinking or how it works, but some people will assume that's what it is.) Mostly, what you need to do is find a way to help yourself that means you get better, and you're able to live to fight another day. Because that is pretty much what matters more than anything else. You, living. Because you are brilliant, and special, and there is always a better way than simply deciding you've had enough.
Every day is worth living as best as you can. Take it from someone who understands how it feels to be that person who needs help, then took it, and has come out the other side both stronger and better as a result.
People want to help you. You need to let them try.
People want to help you. You need to let them try.

While not a 5 star restaurant, its definatly a great little place to stop for a meal in the evening. By all means not one to be missed, especaially if you have the luxery of trying a few places in the area.
The value for money is what makes this place stand out, the food is great and you'll be happy to know its local and fresh.
While offering something for everyone, It seems to be more on the seafood side, although we didnt eat any fish, 65% of the menu was sea food.
Good wine. All very very reasonably priced and left us very happy and our tastbuds too.
Nothing wrong at all.

Jeffrey Ash was the son of Ingram Ash, one of the owners of Blaine-Thompson, the dominating Broadway advertising agency during the post-WWII years. By some accounts, the firm at times represented 90 percent of the shows on Broadway. After graduating from Muhlenberg College in 1967, the younger Ash began work at Blaine-Thompson alongside his father, handling the advertising for such legendary producers as Harold Prince, Stuart Ostrow and Alexander H. Cohen.
Pippin, the 1972 Bob Fosse-director Stephen Schwartz musical about a wayward prince trying to find himself, was a Blaine-Thompson client. Until then, Broadway producers had not invested much in television advertising, deeming it too expensive, and imagining its viewers were not prospective theatergoers. But with the box office flagging, the show filmed a television spot featuring a dance sequence of star Ben Vereen and two dancers. (The dance was not actually from the show, but a special routine created by Fosse for the commercial.)
"Stuart Ostrow had the guts to try television," Mr. Ash is quoted as saying in "The Anatomy of a Broadway Musical," an upcoming book by Ostrow. "Everyone said people who watch TV wouldn't spend the $9.90 to go to a musical. But we cut out all the newspaper ads and ran the TV ad with Ben Vereen and the girls."
According to Ostrow, in 1973 the fledgling Ash/LeDonne Agency—which was formed by Jeffrey Ash together with Peter LeDonne—set up a shoot in Princeton, New Jersey, to film "The Manson Trio" dance excerpt, starring Ben Vereen, Candy Brown and Pam Sousa. The spot worked. Tickets sales soared, and the show became a hit.After Ingram Ash's death in 1974, Mr. Ash continued to work with producers Prince, Ostrow and Cohen at the Ash/LeDonne.(Blaine-Thompson went bankrupt in 1978.) The firm closed in 1985, when it filed for protection from creditors. According to reports at the time, the agency was dealt a blow by the touring production of The Tap Dance Kid, which owed it money.
In a career that spanned five decades, Mr. Ash and his agencies represented the original Broadway productions of A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures, I Love My Wife, Side by Side by Sondheim, Annie, Evita, Barnum, Children of a Lesser God, Amadeus, Ain't Misbehavin', Sophisticated Ladies, Dancin, Deathtrap, Da, Woman of the Year and Glengarry Glen Ross, among many others.
Jeffrey Ash is survived by three daughters: Nicole Ash, Danielle Ash, and Heather Ash and son-in-law Rene Hidalgo, all of New York City; a brother Steve (Mariah) Ash, a niece Emily Ash, all of Scituate, MA; and longtime companion, Melly Garcia of New York City. A memorial service will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The New Dramatists or to The Myositis Association.

On Being an "Independent Woman" & Traveling Through Asia
We were midway into our trip to Vietnam. We had ventured to Halong Bay, a fairyland of limestone peaks. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to and I felt like I was dreaming. As we headed into a smaller boat from our cruise liner for a day of kayaking in the caves, a Vietnamese worker on the boat looked at us - a group of five American women with no men in tow - and called us "Independent Women". A big smile swept over my face, and it remained with me throughout my travels. Every which way you look in Halong Bay, you see pure, Read More
Wanderlust is My Drug
Wanderlust. It's like a drug. I encountered my first dose while living abroad at age 18 when I was introduced to a completely different culture, language, cuisine and fell in love. That was a crazy year and it opened me up to everything and made me realize how much the world had to offer me. I would spend the next 10 years exploring as much of the world as I could, spending a year in London, traveling around Europe, living in Israel and ending up in NYC. And then I had kids. And believe me, having kids has not deterred my love of travel. We've Read More

Benedict XVI's Address to Media Council
"Safeguard the Common Good ... Uphold the Truth"
VATICAN CITY, MARCH 10, 2007 (Zenit) - Here is the address Benedict XVI delivered Friday in the Clementine Hall of the Apostolic Palace to the participants of the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications.
* * *
Your Eminences,
Dear Brother Bishops,
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am glad to welcome you to the Vatican today on the occasion of the annual Plenary Assembly of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. My thanks go firstly to Archbishop Foley, President of the Council, for his kind introductory comments. To all of you, I wish to express my gratitude for your commitment to the apostolate of social communications, the importance of which cannot be underestimated in our increasingly technological world.
The field of social communications is fast-changing. While the print media struggles to maintain circulation, other forms of media such as radio, television and the Internet are developing at an extraordinary rate. Against the backdrop of globalization, this ascendancy of the electronic media coincides with its increasing concentration in the hands of a few multinational conglomerates whose influence crosses all social and cultural boundaries.
What have been the outcomes and effects of this rise in the media and entertainment industries? I know this question is one that commands your close attention. Indeed, given the media's pervasive role in shaping culture, it concerns all people who take seriously the well-being of civic society.
Undoubtedly much of great benefit to civilization is contributed by the various components of the mass media. One need only think of quality documentaries and news services, wholesome entertainment, and thought-provoking debates and interviews. Furthermore, in regard to the Internet it must be duly recognized that it has opened up a world of knowledge and learning that previously for many could only be accessed with difficulty, if at all. Such contributions to the common good are to be applauded and encouraged.
On the other hand, it is also readily apparent that much of what is transmitted in various forms to the homes of millions of families around the world is destructive. By directing the light of Christ's truth upon such shadows the Church engenders hope. Let us strengthen our efforts to encourage all to place the lit lamp on the lamp-stand where it shines for everyone in the home, the school, and society (cf. Mt 5:14-16)!
In this regard, my message for this year's World Communications Day draws attention to the relationship between the media and young people. My concerns are no different from those of any mother or father, or teacher, or responsible citizen. We all recognize that "beauty, a kind of mirror of the divine, inspires and vivifies young hearts and minds, while ugliness and coarseness have a depressing impact on attitudes and behavior" (No. 2). The responsibility to introduce and educate children and young people into the ways of beauty, truth and goodness is therefore a grave one. It can be supported by media conglomerates only to the extent that they promote fundamental human dignity, the true value of marriage and family life, and the positive achievements and goals of humanity.
I appeal again to the leaders of the media industry to advise producers to safeguard the common good, to uphold the truth, to protect individual human dignity and promote respect for the needs of the family. And in encouraging all of you gathered here today, I am confident that care will be taken to ensure that the fruits of your reflections and study are effectively shared with particular Churches through parish, school and diocesan structures.
To all of you, your colleagues and the members of your families at home I impart my Apostolic Blessing.

Bartuska Attorney, Agent, or FirmHarris, Kern, Wallen & Tinsley [57] ABSTRACT A beveraging dispensing system for mixing and dis pensing soft drink syrup concentrates and mixing soda supplied under pressure to a hand-held control and dispensing head having a plurality of mechanically actuated control valves wherein displacement of the valves is assisted by the pressure and flow of the mixing soda.
4 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures pka'ss'mlzsu SODA 12 fissur /zap swap saunas preess'wrzsp SyAv/P Saunas 1 PLURAL SOURCES BEVERAGE DISPENSING APPARATUS My invention relates to beverage dispensing systems and more particularly to carbonated soft drink dispensing systems where the soft drink is a mixture of a flavored syrup concentrate and carbonated water both supplied under pressure to a hand-held dispensing head.
Typically, such systems remotely locate the source of the beverage ingredients and offer a choice of beven ages. Provisions may be made to select, direct. and control the flow of the selected beverage by manipulation of a valve control and dispensing means which may be hand-held.
Since the introduction of multiple beverage dispensers, electromechanical valve mechanisms have been provided as a means for controlling the flow of the beverage ingredients. The mechanisms used have included solenoid armatures acting in direct axial alignment with a movable valve element and impact type solenoid valves utilizing intermediate linkages between the armature of the solenoid and movable portions of the valves. In theory, these designs have shared the common objectives of providing a small, lightweight, reliable hand-held valve control means having a plurality of valves for offering a selectivity of beverages. In practice, however, these objectives have not been fully or satisfactorily achieved primarily because of electrical design problems. For example, because of size constraints, designers have used electromechanical components of small size and capable of generating only marginally effective forces for valve actuation. A marginally sufficient force tends to result in slow valve actuation speeds which tend to produce beverage dilution since the high viscosity of the concentrated flavoring syrup retards its flow through an only partially open valve while the carbonated mixing soda is a freely flowing fluid through a similarly only partially open valve. Further since mixing soda is most often at a higher level of pressurization than the syrups in order to maintain its carbonation, its rate of flow is typically much higher than for any corresponding amount of syrup valve opening which aggravates the problem of maintaining exactness of proportion between simultaneously dispensed beverage ingredients. The proportion control, of course, contributes to the palatability and acceptance of the beverage.
Because of the only marginally effective forces generated by small-sized electromechanical elements when operated at conservatively rated current levels, designers have tended toward reducing the safety margins of allowable current. This has lead to perhaps the most frequent cause of electromechanical valve control breakdown or inoperativeness, namely, control switch contact erosion and solenoid coil burn out. Beyond such problems, it is of course recognized that electromechanical valve mechanisms for controling the flow of liquids as in a beverage dispensing system are fraught with electrical shock hazards for the operators thereof.
Accordingly. in view of the foregoing problems it is an object of the present invention to provide a soft drink dispensing system utilizing a hand-holdable valve control means free of electrically controlled elements and their attendant problems.
Another object of the present invention is to provide such a soft drink dispensing system of the foregoing character wherein the actuation of a single control valve releases exact amounts of flavored syrup concentrate and mixing soda by utilizing the pressure of the mixing soda to assist the operation of the control valve.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a soft drink dispensing system of the foregoing character including a valve control means of simple and rugged construction yet rapid operation.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a soft drink dispensing system of the foregoing character wherein the valve control means includes a plurality of mechanically actuated valves in a housing. each valve associated with a different source of syrup and soda under pressure and each valve including a spindle carrying a plurality of spools for directing the simultaneous flow of syrup and soda to a dispensing head.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a soft drink dispensing system of the foregoing character wherein the soda coacts with a lower spool on each spindle to assist in the rapid closing of the valves upon release from an open condition.
The foregoing as well as other objects and features of the present invention may be more clearly understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered with the drawing, which, by the way of example only, illustrates one configuration of a soft drink dispensing system embodying the features of my present invention.
In the drawing:
FIG. I is an over-all pictorial and diagrammatic view showing the soft drink dispensing system of my present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectioned view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3A is a partially sectioned internal view taken along the line 33 in FIG. 1 showing a valve of my valve control means in its closed position; and
FIG. 3B is a partially sectioned view similar to FIG. 3A showing a valve of my valve control means in its open position.
Generally speaking, the illustrated form of my soft drink dispensing system includes a plurality of beverage syrup sources such as l0, l2 and 14, a source of carbonated water or soda 16, and a fully mechanical valve control means 18. The concentrated syrups in the sources l0, l2 and 14 are maintained at a low pressure relative to the soda in the soda source 16 and all the sources are located remote from the valve control means for separate connection thereto by flexible conduit 20 housed in a hose structure 22. The valve control means 18 includes a plurality of similar fully mechanical valve 24 in a lightweight hand-holdable housing 26. The housing 26 includes a plurality of fluid inlets 28 each connected to a different conduit 20 and a fluid outlet means 30 connected to a mixing and dispensing head 32. Each valve, such as 240 in FIGS. 3A and 3B, is associated with a different one of the syrup sources and the soda source, and with a different push button 34 protruding from a cover and retaining plate 36 located on top of the housing. The valve 24 and porting in the housing 26 from the conduits 20 to the mixing and dispensing head 32 are such that a manual depression of the push button 34 associated with a valve such as 24a in FIGS. 3A and 38 produces a substantially instantaneous downward movement of the valve to a fully open position to permit the simultaneous and full flow of a syrup such as orange concentrate and soda through the valve control means 18 to the head 32 for dispensing as orange soda into a glass or cup. Similarly, a manual depression of the push button 34 associated with another of the valves 24 produces a substantially instantaneous movement of that valve to a fully open position to permit the simultaneous and full flow of a different syrup such as cola concentrate, and soda through the valve control means for dispensing a carbonated cola beverage at the head 32. In each instance. a release of the valve by removal of a downward force on the associated button 34 results in an extremely rapid and automatic return of the valve to its normally closed position. Such closing of the valves is assisted by coaction of soda from the soda source I6 with a lower spool 38 carried on a spindle 40 for each valve. As will be described in greater detail hereinafter, the pressure assist provided by the soda acting on the lower spool 38 of each valve allows for a highly compact design of the valve control means free of electromechanical devices, mechanical linkages, and/or heavy springs to effect the desired valve movement with the valve control.
As previously indicated, each of the valves 24 is of a similar construction and operates in a similar manner. Accordingly, only the details of the valve 240 will be described hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 3A and 38, it being understood that a similar construction and operation is associated with each of the other valves in the valve control means 18.
In more specific detail, and referring to the drawing, the valve 240 includes a cylindrical valve cavity 42 in the housing 26 receiving a movable valve body 44 comprising the spindle 40 carrying the spool 38 as well as spools 46 and 48. As depicted in FIGS. 3A and 33, depression of the valve body 44 from the closed position in FIG. 3A to the open position in FIG. 3B permits soda and syrup to simultaneously flow through porting in the housing 26 into the cavity 42 and past the spools to porting leading to the fluid outlet and dispensing head 32. A release of the valve body 44 results in a rapid and automatic return of the spindle 40 to the closed position of FIG. 3A to block the flow of syrup and soda.
As illustrated. the valve cavity 42 extends downwardly through an outer top surface 50 of the valve housing 26. While the cavity 42 may be of a generally uniform diameter it includes a bottommost portion having a smaller diameter which forms a spring housing or well 52. In addition four vertically spaced annular grooves 54, 56, 58 and 60 are formed in the side wall of the cavity. The location and spacing between adjacent grooves divides the cavity 42 into four distinct zones. A first zone 64 is formed below the bottom-most groove 54 and includes the aforementioned spring housing or well 52 and a cavity side wall opening designated as a first inlet port 66 formed by an intersecting and horizontally extending passageway 68 for conducting pressurized soda to the valve cavity from an inlet port 28. A second zone 70 is formed above the annular groove 54 and below the groove 56 and includes a side wall opening or first outlet port 72 formed by an intersecting and horizontally extending passageway 74 for conducting pressurized soda away from the valve cavity to the oultet 30. A third zone 76 is formed above the groove 56 and below the groove 58 and includes a side wall opening or second outlet port 78 formed by an intersecting and horizontally extending passageway 80 for conducting flavored syrup away from the valve cavity to the outlet 30. A fourth and uppermost zone 82 is formed above the annuler groove 58 and below the groove 60 and includes a side wall opening or second inlet port 84 formed by an intersecting and horizontally extending passageway 86 for conducting flavored syrup to the valve cavity from an associated inlet port 28. Each of the aforementioned annular grooves carries an O-ring 62a-d for sealing and thereby controlling the flow of either syrup and/or soda through the valve 24a relative to the position ofthe movable valve body 44 in the cavity 42.
In this regard, in the movable valve body 44 the spools 38, 46 and 48 carried by the spindle 40 are located at lower, intermediate, and upper positions along the spindle 40. Further, the spools are dimensioned such that the spool 38 slidably engages and seals against the O-ring 62a in the groove 54, the spool 46 against the O-rings in the grooves 56 and 58, and the spool 48 against the O-ring in the groove 60. In addition, the valve spindle 40 includes a lower portion 88 below the valve spool 38 carrying a coil spring 90. An upper coil of the spring 90 has a natural diameter less than the diameter of the lower spindle portion 88, thereby providing a gripping force for retaining the spring in position on the spindle. The length of the spring 90 is such that it normally extends downwardly from the lower portion 88 into the spring well 52 to engage a bottom thereof (see FIG. 3A). The weight and strength of the spring 90 are such that the spring is only strong enough when compressed in the well 52 to start upward movement of the spindle from the open position of'the valve shown in FIG. 38 toward the closed position shown in FIG. 3A and in the absence of soda at the inlet 64 to urge the spool 38 into nonsealing contact with the lower O-ring 62a. In brief, the spring 90 is a small, light weight spring. The well 52, of course, is sufficiently large to freely receive the spindle end and spring combination. Only the bottom of the well serves as a bottom limit for the free or bottom end of the coil spring. It is not intended that the bottom end of the spindle extension 88 make contact with the bottom of the well 52 as a means for limiting the downward displacement of the valve body 44. Such limitation of downward movement as well as upward movement is provided by the cap 34 and retainer or cover plate 36.
In that regard, the valve retaining plate 36 is secured on the top of the valve housing 26 and includes a plurality of circular holes each having a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of an associated push buttom 34. The holes are formed -in a spaced-apart relationship corresponding to the location of the valves 24 as shown in FIG. 1. A concentric and circular recess 92 is formed in the bottom surface of the valve retaining plate 36 relative to each push button clearance hole. The recess 92, in cooperation with the top surface of the valve body serves to restrict the axial displace ment of the push button 34 and, in turn, the displacement of the valve body 44.
In particular, the push button 34 is essentially a cap for fitting over the end of the upper spool 48 of the valve body 44. As clearly shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B the push button 34 is of a hat" shaped cross section having a lower rim 94 of a larger diameter than the upper cylindrical portion protruding upwardly above the top surface 96 of the valve retaining plate 36. The push button 34, in cooperation with the valve retaining plate 36 and the top surface of the housing, provides a means for limiting the axial translation of the valve body 44. As shown in FIG. 3A, an upper annular surface 98 of the rim 96 and an annularly shaped surface I00 of the retaining plate 36 are in contact. With such contact. the valve body 44 is restricted from further axial displacement in an upwardly direction thereby defining a closed position of the valve. The downward displacement of the valve body 44 is similarly limited by engagement of the rim 88 with the top surface of the valve housing as shown in FIG. 38. Here, a lower annular surface 102 of the rim makes contact with the housing surface.
When considering the valve 240 in its closed position as shown in FIG. 3A, several conditions relating to the position of the valve body 44 within the valve cavity 42 are to be noted. The O-ring 62a carried in the lower groove 54 is in sealing contact with the lower spool 38 and pressurized soda fills only the inlet passageway 68 and the valve zone 64 immediately below the spool 38. The next uppermost zone 70, and its associated soda outlet passageway 74 are empty of pressurized soda. The O-ring 62b carried in groove 56 which defines the upper limit of zone 70 is in sealing contact with the intermediate spool 46. At this time the syrup outlet passageway 80 and communicating cavity zone 76 are similarly free of concentrated flavoring syrup due to the sealing of the O-ring 62c carried in the groove 58 against the spool 46. Pressurized syrup fills the passageway 86 and zone 82 located immediately above the intermediate spool 46 and below the upper spool 48. It will be noted that the O-ring 62d carried in the uppermost groove 60 is in sealing contact with the uppermost spool 48 thus preventing leakage of the syrup from the valve cavity. Since pressurized syrup generates equal forces against the top sloping surface of the intermediate spool 46 and the bottom sloping surface of spool 48 the pressurization of the syrup does not contribute toward displacement of the valve body 44.
In order to achieve the full open valve condition as shown in FIG. 38 wherein the valve body 44 is fully displaced downwardly, it is only necessary to initially overcome the opposing force generated by the pressure of the soda bearing against the lower sloping surface of the valve spool 38. In the fully open position the O-ring 62a is no longer in sealing contact with the lower valve spool and soda is free to flow from the inlet passageway 68 through the zone 64 and upwardly into zone 70 and then through the outlet port 70 and associated passageway 74. It will also be noted, that when the valve body is displaced in the full open position, sealing contact between the upper portion of the intermediate spool 46 and the O-ring 62c is no longer maintained. Pressurized syrup is then free to enter the upper zone 82 through inlet passageway 86 and pass downwardly into zone 76 and then into the outlet passageway 80. It is to be noted that in the full open position the intermediate spool 46 remains in sealed contact with the O-ring 62b and thereby prevents an intermingling of the syrup and soda within the valve cavity.
Both outlet passages 74 and 80 conducting soda and syrup respectively away from the valve cavity terminate at an end of the housing 26 in a hole pattern formed in the housing as shown in FIG. 2. The center hole is the terminal discharge opening of the pressurized soda passageway while each of the outlying and smaller diameter holes are terminal passageway openings for conducting pressurized syrup. The dispensing head 32 is in sealed contact with the end of the valve housing and includes the identical pattern of openings at its inlet surface as shown in FIG. 2. The dispensing head exit openings may be continued in the same pattern as shown in FIG. 2 or may be arranged and directed so as to cause a mixing of the pressurized soda and pressurized flavoring syrup upon exiting from the dispensing head.
Turning now to the mechanical actuation of any given valve within my valve control means 18; it has been shown that a simple downward displacement of a single push button 34 is the only requirement to change a given valve from a fully closed position to fully open. In my experience I have found that the pressure of the mixing soda and diameter of the valve spool 38 may be established so as to require a maximum downwardly directed force upon the push button 34 of less than approximately 3 pounds. Additionally, the valve control as I have provided requires only small displacements of the valve body 44 for transition between its fully closed and fully open positions. A small displacement of under one-eighth of an inch accompanied by a relatively high working pressure of mixing soda of approximately 100 psi and coupled with an elasticity inherent to the flexible inlet conduit 20, provides an unique feel" when a valve body 44 is displaced to either its open or closed position. Upon opening and just as an upper edge portion 104 of the lower spool 38 clears contact with its O-ring 620, the inrush of mixing soda filling the subcavity zone and its associated exit passageway 74 causes a partial equalization of pressures between top surface 106 of the valve spool 38 and its bottom surface 108 causing a sudden reduction in the amount of pres sure required to continue the displacement of the valve body 44 toward its fully open position. The operator of my valve control then experiences this sudden reduction in the amount of digitally applied force as a momentary pulse. Thus, the valve l have provided insures transition between a fully closed position and fully opened position as a snap-type" of action which insures uniform proportion control between the flavored syrup concentrate and mixing soda. In any other than an instantaneously opening valve for controlling the flow of two fluids of dissimilar viscosity, the flow of the fluid having heavier viscosity necessarily lags the flow of that fluid with lesser viscosity. As applied to soft drink beverages an overage of mixing soda, the fluid of less viscosity, directly affects the palatability of the beverage.
In addition to the snap-opening characteristic of the valves of my valve control means, I have provided a similar characteristic of the valve upon moving to the fully closed position. In this instance only a slight relaxation of the push button pressure displacing the valve body 44 in its fully open position is required. A momentary pulse, similar in nature to that as just previously described as accompanying the displacement of the valve body 44 from fully closed to fully opened position, accompanies the displacement of the valve body from its fully open to fully closed position. Upon a slight relaxation of digitally applied pressure to the push button 34 the coil spring responds by slightly displacing the valve body 44 upwardly away from the limit stop provided as part of the push button flange. At a point of upward displacement approximately between 50 percent open and 50 percent closed positions, the lower valve spool 38 commences to restrict flow between the sloping surface 108 and the surface of the O- ring 62a. This restriction of flow has the effect of increasing the pressure differential in the mixing soda as measured between the inlet and outlet passageways intersecting the adjacent valve cavity zones 64 and 70.
This increase in differential pressure has the effect of accelerating the displacement of the valve body 44 toward its fully closed position due to the higher pressure of the inlet mixing soda bearing against the lower surface of the spool 38. The valve body 44, accelerated by the pressure of the mixing soda, arrives at its point of uppermost travel while accelerating. The rapid termination of acceleration is afforded by contact of the push button annular surface 98 making contact with the corresponding surface 100 of the valve retaining plate 36. Thus, the instantaneous termination of upward displacement by the valve body 44 is experienced as a momentary pulse by the operator of the valve control. This rapid "shut-of of the flowing concentrated syrup and mixing soda has the desirable effect ofterminating flow ofthe two ingredients having dissimilar viscosities in a manner which insures a balance of proportion between amounts of beverage ingredients entering the outlet passageways 74 and 80.
From the foregoing detailed description, it is to be understood that the soft drink dispensing system of my present invention provides for the convenient selection and dispensing of soft drinks comprising a flavored concentrated syrup and a mixing soda. My hand-held valve control provides for simple, direct acting, and pressure assisted valve operation requiring only a slight amount of thumb or finger movement and force for initializing valve displacement toward its fully opened position, and having been reached, requires only that the externally applied force be momentarily removed to thereby enable the pressure of the mixing soda to take over and displace the valve body to its fully closed position,
Additionally. the precise valve operation afforded by the mixing soda fluid pressure assist enables close proportionate beverage ingredient control and eliminates the previously known problems commonly associated with electromechanical valve control means.
While a particular embodiment of a soft drink dispensing system is described in some detail herein, it is appreciated that changes and modifications may be made in the illustrated form without departing from the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended that my present invention be limited in scope only by the terms of the following claims,
