A dispenser includes a dispenser body that has an interior cavity in which a first chassis is configured to be translated relative to a second chassis along a central axis. The dispenser has a cartridge including a container and a pump that includes a drive flange defining a drive diameter. The dispenser includes an adaptor having a pair of legs that are configured to be coupled to the drive flange and the first chassis, and the adaptor and the drive flange are configured to prevent the drive flange from being translated independently of each other.

A dispenser includes a front panel and a body coupled to the front panel to form an interior cavity. The body includes a wall portion having a top portion. An opening is formed through the top portion, and a housing includes a first housing wall and a second housing wall that each extend from the top portion adjacent the opening and into the interior cavity. The first and second housing walls include first and second rails, respectively, which are coplanar and extend from the respective first and second housing walls in opposing directions relative to each other.

A dispenser includes a front panel that can be opaque, and a body that includes a sidewall extending from a rear wall. Further, the front panel is coupled to the body and an interior cavity is formed therebetween. The sidewall includes an illuminating portion and a viewing portion. The illuminating portion is translucent and the viewing portion is transparent. The viewing portion is located between the front panel and the rear wall and the viewing portion and the illuminating portion indicate a refill status.

A device for dispensing a liquid product is provided that includes a receiving body, a locking and fastening device and an adapter device. A kit is also provided that includes a device for dispensing a liquid product and an auxiliary tool.

Dispensers and dispensers having refill units with energy on the refill unit energy sources are disclosed herein. An exemplary dispenser includes a housing, a motor for operating a pump, an object sensor, an auxiliary power source, a receptacle for receiving a refill unit and an energy on the refill receiving receptacle. The dispenser further includes a processor, memory, one or more capacitors, an energy on refill voltage boost circuit, a high power voltage buck circuit and a low power regulator circuit. The low power regulator circuit provides power for at least the processor and the object sensor. The capacitors provide power to the high power voltage buck circuit and the low voltage regulator, and the high voltage buck circuit provides power to operate the motor. A refill unit have an energy on the refill energy source may be inserted into the dispenser.

A product dispenser holder comprises a dispenser holder body configured to receive a product dispenser that stores a supply of a product to be dispensed, an actuation sensor that senses actuations of the product dispenser, and an actuation button, such that when an actuation force is applied to a pump of the product dispenser, a substantially downward force is applied to the actuation button causing the actuation button to rotate substantially downwardly and actuate the actuation sensor to generate a dispenser actuation signal.

A fluid dispenser having a temperature sensor that senses a temperature of an external surface presented by a user's hand, and a pump mechanism that is configured to dispense fluid onto the user's hand when the pump mechanism is activated. It is determined whether the fluid has been dispensed onto the user's hand based, at least in part, on the temperature of the external surface presented by the user's hand.

A portable liquid dispensing station for outdoor use in cold temperatures comprises a housing defining a base for resting on a support surface and enclosed interior thereover, at least one liquid storage tank supported inside the housing for containing unused liquid, a pump supported inside the housing in fluidic communication with the tank for conveying the unused liquid under pressure to a downstream location, a liquid dispensing device supported externally of the housing but in downstream fluidic communication with the tank for selectively releasing the liquid, a basin supported externally of the housing for collecting the released liquid, and a collection tank in fluidic communication with the basin to collect the used liquid for storage and which is supported inside the housing. The liquid dispensing device, the basin and the collection tank are heated and the air inside the housing is also heated to prevent the liquid from freezing.
