A dispenser for, e.g., hand sanitizer or perfume mounted within a rear view mirror of a vehicle. The dispenser has a manual or automated mechanism that expels a small amount of hand sanitizer at a time, preferably when a person places his or her hand under the mirror. The dispenser includes a replaceable reservoir, dispensing mechanism, power source and control circuitry within a cavity in the mirror. A front mirror panel may be hinged to enable access to the operational components.

A soap dispenser for use in a shower room in a hotel bathroom, includes bottles for containing shampoo or shower gel, and a placement sheet, one side of the placement sheet is bent downward in an arc shape, placement rings are provided on the placement sheet, and a semicircular ring sheet is provided at each of the placement rings near the side of the placement sheet in the form of an arc-shaped surface; a fixing sheet is hinged to one end of the placement sheet, two snapping grooves are provided on the fixing sheet, an edge of each of the snapping grooves is butt-jointed with an edge of the respective semicircular ring sheet, and an edge of a bottom face of the snapping groove abuts against the placement ring.

A piston pump for dispensing fluid from a reservoir, an improved vacuum relief arrangement in which a passageway for flow of air from the atmosphere into the reservoir is provided at least in part through a piston-forming element of the piston pump.

The present invention relates to a handheld electronic soap device (1), where pH neutral water is poured in the device through a water inlet (2) into an electrolytic cell (11). The pH neutral water is split into acidic ionized and alkaline ionized water by an electrolysis. The alkaline and acidic water can be used for cleaning and rinsing of skin or hair. More particularly, the alkaline water enables to clean skin or hair, whereas the acid water is important to maintain the acid environment on hairs and skin. According to the present invention a user can select between acidic or alkaline water to be poured out of the device through a water outlet (4).

Among other things, one or more systems and/or techniques for improving performance of a dispensing system are provided herein. The dispensing system may comprise an emitter and a detector. The emitter may be configured to transmit light (e.g., and/or one or more other signals). The detector may be configured to measure light, for example. The detector may determine a first measurement of light while the emitter is not transmitting light. The detector may determine a second measurement of light responsive to the emitter transmitting light. The detector may determine a third measurement of light based upon a comparison of the first measurement of light with the second measurement of light. The detector may be direct current (DC) coupled while determining the third measurement of light.

A piece of hygiene equipment configured to dispense a consumable to a user includes a processing circuit and a radio circuit. The radio circuit is configured to receive and transmit a radio signal carrying payload data, and the processing circuit is configured to obtain information on a positional relationship to another device by instructing the radio circuit to receive and/or transmit a radio signal carrying first payload data. The processing circuit is configured to generate second payload data on the basis of the obtained information on the obtained positional relationship, and to instruct the radio circuit to transmit a radio signal carrying said second payload data.

A mouthwash dispensing system including: a bottle with a threaded neck (150) defining an opening (140) and configured to hold a liquid; a dispenser (340) including a receiving orifice (380) and a receiving protrusion (390); and a spring-actuated adapter, including: an adapter orifice (250); a valve stem (220, 260) including a spring (270) and a seal (280), wherein the spring (270) is configured to bias the seal (280) to move the spring-actuated adapter to a closed position; a threaded adapter (230) configured to couple the spring-actuated adapter to the threaded neck (150); and a friction-fit adapter configured to couple the spring-actuated adapter to the dispenser (340); wherein, when the spring-actuated adapter is coupled to the dispenser (340), the receiving protrusion (390) moves the spring-actuated adapter to an open position to allow the liquid to flow from the bottle through the adapter orifice (250) and into the dispenser (340).
