Abstract:
1. A bottom fill, fluid dispensing system, comprising: a valve housing mountable to a countertop, said valve housing comprising a fluid inlet and a chamber that defines an axial direction; a valve body received within the chamber and slidable along the axial direction of said valve housing, said valve body defining a channel for the flow of fluid, the channel extending between an inlet port and an outlet port of said valve body, wherein said valve body is slidable between: a first position where the inlet port of the channel is aligned with the fluid inlet of said valve housing so that fluid may flow from the fluid inlet, through the inlet port, and into the channel, and a second position where the inlet port of the channel is not aligned with the fluid inlet of said valve housing such that fluid is blocked from flowing from the fluid inlet through the inlet port of said valve body; a biasing member configured so as to urge said valve body towards said second position; a container removably positioned onto said valve body, said container having a container wall in contact with said valve body when the container is positioned onto said valve body; and a one-way valve received onto the container wall, said one-way valve positioned at the container wall so as to be able to receive fluid from the outlet port of said valve body when the container is positioned onto said valve body.
