Soap recycling device and method of operation
The invention refers to a soap recycling device that recycles solid soap bar remnants into purified liquid soap or purified reconstituted solid soap bars, depending on a user's selected mode of operation of the device. The soap recycling device includes a heat source that melts the solid soap remnants, a UV emitter that sterilizes the solid soap remnants, and a directional valve that selectively delivers the molten soap fluid to a first receptacle capable of storing the soap in liquid form and delivering it for direct usage, for instance for hand washing, and a second receptacle where the molten soap fluid solidifies and turns into a reconstituted solid soap bar. The device includes a user interface that allows selecting the desired operation mode to either liquid or solid soap formation. The device according to the invention is compact and versatile.
Kit of toiletry items
The kit of toiletry items is a collection of sanitary devices. The kit of toiletry items is configured for use during sanitary activities associated with the bodily processes of elimination and excretion. The kit of toiletry items comprises a toilet seat cover, a plurality of sanitary wipes, toilet paper, and a container of cleansing solution. The toilet seat cover provides a protective barrier for use with a toilet seat. The toilet seat cover prevents the transfer of pathogens. The toilet paper provides for the primary sanitary services available from the kit. The sanitary wipes and the container of cleansing solution provides a range of secondary sanitary services that are available from the kit.

Multi-Function Fixture for a Lavatory System
Systems and methods for a multi-function lavatory fixture are disclosed. The lavatory fixture includes a first and second leg, where a first end of each leg is configured to be mounted to a deck and a second end of each leg is located over a basin of the lavatory fixture. A connecting section extends between the second ends of each leg and includes outlets to dispense water, soap, and air to wash a user's hands. The fixture also includes indicators located proximate each of the outlets to indicate to the user the location of each outlet. A sensor located near each outlet identifies the presence of a user's hands near the outlet and dispenses water, soap, or air accordingly. A controller within the lavatory fixture receives inputs from each sensor and activates the appropriate pump, fan, valve, and the like to deliver the desired product at the appropriate outlet.

Sensing device
Among other things, a dispensing device is described herein. A sensor component of the dispensing device includes an emitter (e.g., of an emitter array) in optical communication with a detector array for sensing objects disposed between the emitter and the detector array. An object detector is configured to identify a presence of an object between the emitter and the detector array based upon a readout signal generated by the detector array. A calibration component is configured to recalibrate the object detector responsive to determining that an obstruction is present between the emitter and the detector array. The recalibration allows the detector array and the emitter array to detect the presence of an object regardless of the obstruction. A material (e.g., soap, sanitizer, etc.) may be dispensed from the dispensing device responsive to detecting the presence of the object.
Device comprising sensor-activated dispensing and auditory tone
The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a dispensing device that enables sensor-activated dispensing and playing of an auditory tone. The disclosed dispenser includes a housing comprising an internal reservoir that retains the product to be dispensed. The dispenser further includes one or more sensors that act as a motion detector to release a predetermined amount of product from the internal reservoir. The motion sensor further triggers the release of one or more predetermined auditory tones to be played from a speaker configured in the lower portion of the dispenser. Accordingly, users are encouraged to frequently use the dispenser, such as for hand washing and other activities.
Fluid dispenser
This application relates to a fluid dispenser. In one aspect, the dispenser includes a body including an opening and an accommodating space for accommodating fluid, a lid for closing the opening, a pressing unit disposed on a side of the body, and a discharge unit disposed on the side at a position diagonally higher than the pressing unit and configured to discharge a predetermined amount of the fluid from the accommodating space when a pressure is applied to the pressing unit. The dispenser may also include a pump mechanism configured to pump the predetermined amount of the fluid from the accommodating space to the discharge unit when the pressure is applied to the pressing unit, and an air intake formed on a part of the lid and configured to flow air into the accommodating space when the predetermined amount of the fluid is discharged from the accommodating space.
