Portable sanitization fluid dispensing devices, systems including such devices, and methods for using such devices are described herein. Such devices, systems, and methods may assist in ensuring proper hand sanitization in sensitive environments, such as medical facilities, laboratories, food and drug preparation facilities, and the like. Devices and systems disclosed herein may be adaptive to, e.g., changing schedules, different users, and different environments.

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.

Exemplary soap, sanitizer and lotion dispensers are disclosed herein. An exemplary dispenser includes a housing; a receptacle for receiving a container; a container of fluid comprising soap, sanitizer or lotion; a pump in fluid communication with the container; a power source; a pump coupled to a motor and pulse width modulation circuitry in circuit communication with the power source and the motor. The pulse width modulation circuitry is initially set to cause a selected dose of fluid to be dispensed at a base speed. A sensor for detecting a parameter indicative of an actual speed of a dispense of the fluid is also included. When the actual speed of the dispense of fluid is less than the base speed or greater than the base speed, the pulse width modulation circuitry adjusts the pulse width to cause the speed of a following dispense of fluid to be closer to the base speed.

Exemplary dispensers that receive power from a wireless focused power signal and methods of charging such dispensers are disclosed herein. An exemplary dispenser for dispensing soap or sanitizer includes a housing, a receptacle for retaining a supply of soap or sanitizer, a processor, and a focused energy signal receiver. The focused energy signal receiver includes a reflector for reflecting at least a portion of the focused energy signal back to a transmission source and a converter for converting at least a portion of the focused energy signal into an output voltage. The dispenser further includes charge control circuitry and one or more capacitors. The charge control circuitry monitors the output voltage of the converter. If the output voltage of the converter is above a threshold, the one or more capacitors receive a charging current.

A countertop foam dispenser has a spout made of a spout extension front housing and a spout extension rear housing. The spout includes a spout nozzle with a spout opening. A spout mounting shaft is mounted to the spout at a mounting shaft bracket. A mixer pump housing has a spout retainer latch. The mixer pump housing houses a mixer pump. The mixer pump includes a motor. A retainer notch is formed on the lower portion of the spout. The retainer notch is configured to engage the spout retainer latch. A bottle contains liquid soap. The bottle has a connection to the mixer pump housing.

The subject of the invention is a standalone hand disinfection stand with a remotely controlled electronic display.

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).

A fluid dispenser, such as a skincare product dispenser, comprises a dispenser housing configured to hold a reservoir of fluid for dispensing and a drive assembly for interacting with the reservoir and causing dispensing of the fluid. A fluid detection sensor is positioned within the dispenser housing proximate the reservoir and configured to detect a capacitance level therein. A controller is configured to determine, based on data from the fluid detection sensor, a change in the fluid level across a dispense. The controller is also configured to determine, based on the determined change, that the fluid level in the reservoir reaches a threshold level and cause an action, such as providing an alert, sending information to a remote server, or modifying an operating parameter.
