The present invention relates to a device (10) for delivering a fluid, in particular a cleaning, care or disinfecting fluid for hands, comprising a housing (12) which encloses a cavity (14) into which a container (18) for holding the fluid can be installed, and forms an outer housing surface (28), a pump and metering unit (20), which can be connected or is connected to the housing (12), which can be connected in a detachable manner to the container (18), and with which the fluid can be pumped out of the container (18) and delivered, comprises a monitoring unit (54), with which device-related and/or user-related data can be collected and stored, and a display (76) interacting with the monitoring unit (54) for entering and displaying the user-related data and/or the device-related data. The invention also relates to a system for monitoring such a device (10.sub.2).

The neck-worn hand sanitizer dispenser comprises a sanitizer vessel, a dispensing mechanism, and a neck strap. The neck-worn hand sanitizer dispenser may be adapted to be worn around a neck of a user via the neck strap such that the sanitizer vessel hangs in front of a chest of the user. The neck-worn hand sanitizer dispenser may be adapted to dispense a sanitizer liquid onto a hand of the user when the user triggers the dispensing mechanism by placing the hand beneath the sanitizer vessel. The dispensing mechanism may be disabled via a lock control to prevent dispensing the sanitizer liquid accidently.

A cordless benchtop dispenser for dispensing cleaning liquids includes a container, a housing, and a coupler body structured to effectively provide a single-use container, mitigating possible contamination or hygiene risks associated with users refilling the container as well as operation risks associated with users refilling the container with incompatible liquids or chemicals. In some embodiments, a benchtop dispenser is provided wherein pressing the coupler body onto a neck of the container causes the coupler body to be permanently fixed to the neck. In some embodiments, a benchtop dispenser includes a photoelectric sensor that triggers the controller to operate the motor for a predetermined period, and subsequently triggers the controller to start a timer and actuate the indicator based on elapsed times measured by the timer.

Exemplary sanitary soap refilling systems and methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary refill refilling system includes a housing, a pump located within the housing, and a bulk storage tank connector. The bulk storage tank connector having a liquid outlet and an air inlet. A liquid inlet conduit is in fluid communication with the pump the liquid outlet. A refill connector is included. The refill connector has a liquid inlet and an air outlet. The refill connector air outlet and the bulk storage tank connector air inlet are in fluid communication with one another. The refill liquid inlet is in fluid communication with the pump.

A dispenser with a replaceable cartridge containing a product to be dispensed, and a housing configured to removably receive the cartridge. The cartridge has a surface that is marked with a first marking, and the housing has a surface that is marked with a second marking. The housing is configured so that, when the cartridge is received by the housing, the first marking and the second marking together form a machine readable code that is detectable from outside of the housing.

A “smart-faucet” is provided that provides instructions and feedback to a user that improves the efficacy of a handwashing event. The faucet includes a supply of sanitizer that includes a visualization component, such as a fluorescent component, that assists the user in determining sanitizing coverage of the hands. The visualization component may require the presence of an energy source radiating a specific frequency, such as UV, in order to become visible. The faucet may further be able to communicate information to a remote location regarding supply data necessary to insure just in time delivery of a replacement supply of sanitizer.

Provided is a touchless dispenser including a body, a motor housing coupled to the body, a control assembly including a control board, a motor communicatively coupled to the control board, a cam coupled to the motor, an actuator driven between first and second positions by movement of the cam, and a sensor communicatively coupled to the control board, a reservoir coupled to the body for holding fluid, and a tube assembly having an inlet coupled to the reservoir to receive fluid from the reservoir and an outlet positioned forward of the sensor. The sensor can sense a presence of a user, which is communicated to the control board to cause the actuator to be driven from the first position to the second position to contact the tube assembly to dispense fluid in the tube assembly to the user.

A modularly configured hand sanitizing fluid storage and dispensing device is provided comprising an outer container that can be attached to a fixed object where hand sanitation is desired. The dispenser has an interior cavity accessible from the exterior, through a door, and a fluid reservoir attached to hand sanitizer dispensers, placed either on the device or connected distally by using tubing to feed fluid to the dispensers. The placement of the dispensers can be made in accordance with local codes or in accordance with the Americans with Disability Act, to provide users with hand sanitizing fluid. The fluid is placed in the outer container by using fluid modules comprising bag-in-box (BIB) modules that are, when inserted, in fluid communication with the reservoir, filling the reservoir upon insertion. The module can be readily replaced when empty, while leaving the reservoir of the container filled for use while the module is being replaced.

A hygiene maintenance wristband is an apparatus that allows a user to easily maintain the hygiene while on-the-go. The apparatus includes a band, a first casing, a second casing, a solution dispenser, a light mechanism, and a clasp mechanism. The band attaches the first casing and the second casing around the wrist of a user. The first casing houses the solution dispenser. The clasp mechanism is integrated within the second casing in order to connect and disconnect the band. The clasp mechanism also adjusts the overall length of the band around a wrist with a ratchet mechanism. The apparatus further includes a dispenser-release mechanism so that the solution dispenser may be released from the first casing. The light mechanism illuminates as well as identifies germs and bacteria. The apparatus further includes a floss-dispensing mechanism in order to maintain oral hygiene.

Disclosed embodiments provide a unique touchless combination device that provides simultaneous convenient use of three features, such as dispensing of liquid sanitizer, access to paper tissues, and a compartment for immediate and safe disposal of used tissues. Touchless operation is provided by use of several proximity sensors which allow to access and use all features of the device without need to touch any part of it. Disclosed embodiments also utilize UV LED lights for the purpose of disinfecting used and disposed tissues.
