ABSTRACT:
A refrigerated liquid dispensing system includes a cabinet having a refrigerated compartment. At least one liquid container such as a water bottle is mounted in a receptacle in the compartment. A valve is mounted to the neck of the bottle for controlling the flow of liquid from the bottle. In one practice of the invention the valve is actuated by a spring plunger mounted to the door of the compartment so that the valve can be actuated without opening the door to dispense water from a valve stem into a cup in a cup holder area below the compartment. In a further practice of the invention the valve is actuated by opening the door and acting directly on the valve. When the door opens a valve extension automatically slides outwardly so that a dispensing opening in the valve extension is disposed against a cup in the cup holder area.
