An automatic foam soap dispenser, for dispensing a liquid soap contained in a liquid reservoir in form of foam soap, includes a mixing passage, a liquid soap dispenser, an air dispenser, and an outlet nozzle. The liquid soap dispenser has a liquid soap pump communicated with the mixing passage to upwardly pump the liquid soap to the mixing passage, and a first power source associated with the liquid soap pump and used for driving the liquid soap pump, wherein the liquid reservoir is operatively coupled with the liquid soap pump and located below the liquid soap pump to store the liquid soap. The air dispenser has an air pump communicated with the mixing passage to synchronically and upwardly pump the atmosphere air to the mixing passage, and a second power source associated with the air pump and used for driving the air pump. The outlet nozzle is connected with the mixing passage and having at least a foam maker adapted for generating the foam soap.

A shut-off system for a dispenser includes a pinch member that moves relative to a guide and which is normally biased against a flexible outlet tube that is disposed therebetween. The flexible outlet tube that carries material, such as soap, supplied from a pump to an outlet nozzle. The pump and the pinch member are in operative engagement with an actuator, such that when the actuator is not engaged, the pinch member closes the outlet tube to prevent residual material retained in the outlet tube from flowing or drooling out of the outlet nozzle. Correspondingly, when the actuator is engaged, the pump is compressed, and the pinch member is moved away from the outlet tube, allowing the material to be pumped through the outlet tube and dispensed from the outlet nozzle.

A device, system, and method for dispensing water to moisten and soften toilet paper tissue, thereby to create an adhesive wipe and to provide a thorough surface cleaning, includes, in at least one embodiment: a water reservoir, a water reservoir locking lid and key, a dispensing actuator, a dispensing port, a wall mount plate, a dispense cup for a predetermined volume of water to use for each metered release of water from the dispenser, and a dispensing valve.

A vertically adjustable shower caddy system comprising a tension pole, a number of shelves and a number of securing element for attaching and reattaching the shelves and accessories to the tension pole. The tension pole is installed using an integrated tensioning mechanism allowing extension of the top and bottom extremities as to apply tension to the bath or shower floor and ceiling. The securing element uses clips that are opened and closed when attaching and reattaching the shelves to the tension pole rail. Repositioning a shelf to a new location on the tension pole therefore does not require the removal of the tension pole from a shower stall or bathtub/shower area, thereby saving a user a significant amount of time and effort.

A controlled dentifrice dispensing device may include a reservoir configured to hold a volume of dentifrice. A pump may be configured to withdraw dentifrice from the reservoir when the pump is engaged by an actuator. The pump may be engaged by the actuator when the actuator is pressed towards the reservoir. The distance that the actuator is able to be pressed towards the reservoir may be controlled by one or more metering channels that may extend longitudinally towards the reservoir that may interact, directly or indirectly, with the actuator. When the actuator interacts with a relatively longer metering channel, the actuator may engage the pump to a greater degree than when the actuator interacts with a relatively shorter metering channel, thereby allowing the pump to withdraw a greater amount of dentifrice from the reservoir and to dispense the greater amount of dentifrice from the actuator, preferably onto a user's toothbrush.

A fixing device includes a base body, a connecting unit and a fixing unit. The base body includes a holding wall and a connecting wall having a connecting hole. The connecting hole has a plurality of tooth-like grooves. The holding wall is provided with a holding element for holding the base body onto a first external object. The connecting unit includes a connecting pole and an engaging element. The engaging element has at least a first engaging leg and a second engaging leg that correspondingly pass through the tooth-like grooves to be engaged in between the connecting wall and the holding wall, so as to connect the connecting unit and the base body, where the base body is rotatable upon the connecting pole. The fixing unit is connected to the connecting pole and is provided with a fixing element for securing the fixing unit onto a second external object.

A structure is provided for a PCU (power control unit) in which components secured inside a casing are electrically connected to electronic components on a circuit substrate by a connector, the structure being adapted to maintain the orientation of the circuit substrate to remove the circuit substrate from the casing or to mount the circuit substrate to the casing. Direction control pins are fitted into cover securing holes provided in the casing to secure a cover to the casing. A gripping jig includes grips for gripping the circuit substrate and guide holes into which the direction control pins are inserted. The direction of movement of the gripping jig is controlled by the direction control pins inserted into the guide holes.
