Automatic fluid dispenser

A motion-activated dispenser includes a housing having a base and top defining a gap sized to receive a human hand. The top portion defining cavity sized to receive a fluid reservoir and an opening extending directly through a lower surface of the top portion to the cavity, a neck of the fluid reservoir extending through the opening. A pressing member is positioned within the cavity and an actuator is coupled to the pressing member and configured to urge the pressing member toward and away from the opening. The pressing member may include, for example, a sliding member positioned opposite a stop face; a roller moved by the actuator toward the opening; a plunger positioned above the opening and driven by an actuator toward the opening; or a pair of rods spanning the cavity and urged by the actuator through the cavity, the rods pressing against sides of the reservoir.

Electronic soap dispenser

An electronic soap dispenser includes an upper dispensing head supported above a sink deck, and a liquid soap reservoir and a pump assembly supported below the sink deck. A capacitive sensor is operably coupled to the dispensing head. A controller is in electrical communication with the capacitive sensor and activates the pump assembly in response to input from the capacitive sensor.

Flexible mounting system for hand hygiene dispensers

A flexible mounting system for a chemical product dispenser includes a dispenser holder and at least one mounting apparatus. A releasable connection mechanism provides for attachment of the dispenser holder to the mounting apparatus. The releasable connection mechanism may provide for attachment of the dispenser holder to the mounting apparatus in multiple orientations. In one example, the mounting apparatus includes a mounting bracket configured for mounting to a support object, such as a wall, table, counter top, cabinet, shelf, cart etc. In another example, the mounting apparatus includes a mounting clamp configured for mounting to ledges, poles, bedrails, handles, etc.

Skin care product dispensers and associated self-foaming compositions

Embodiments of the present invention provide foam skin care product (e.g., soap) dispensers and corresponding compositions. An example foam skin care product dispenser includes a reservoir that holds, under pressure, a skin care product composition, including one or more propellants. During a dispense, a dispense valve is opened to release some of the skin care product composition from the reservoir into a dispensing (e.g., flow) path. Once released, the skin care product composition at least partially foams to form foamed skin care product (e.g., foamed soap).

Dispenser for soap and sanitizer

A dispenser for dispensing soap and sanitizer includes a back plate, a container insert removably securable to the back plate, and a cover pivotally engaged to the back plate and the container insert. The container insert includes a first side defining a first container receiving feature and a second side, opposite the first side, defining a second container receiving feature that has a different configuration or size than the first container receiving feature.

Soap Dispensing Shower Assembly
20220039610 · 2022-02-10 ·

A soap dispensing shower assembly for a shower enclosure to free a hand of the user for enhanced stability includes a reservoir, a pump, and a tube. The reservoir is mountable to a wall proximate to a water inlet of a shower enclosure. A liquid soap solution is positionable in the reservoir. The pump is engaged to and positioned within the reservoir. The tube is engaged to the pump and extends from the reservoir. The tube extends along a hose extending between the water inlet and a spray head so that a terminus of the tube is positioned proximate to the spray head. The pump selectively dispenses the liquid soap solution through the tube onto a user.

DISPENSER WITH NOZZLE APERTURE GUARD
20170245697 · 2017-08-31 ·

A product dispenser includes an enclosure having at least one wall that defines an interior of the enclosure. The wall defines an aperture. The product dispenser includes a dispensing assembly within which a product is contained and from which the product is dispensed. The dispensing assembly is supported within the interior of the enclosure such that the dispensing assembly dispenses the product through the aperture. The product dispenser includes a barrier guard extending around a perimeter of the aperture between the wall and the dispensing assembly to inhibit accessibility to the interior of the enclosure between the barrier guard and the wall.

Dispenser with multi-directional pushbar

A product dispenser includes a housing adapted to receive a refill unit having a product reservoir. A multidirectional pushbar is carried by the housing and movable in a plurality of directions to actuate the pump. The multidirectional pushbar may be carried by a collar pivotally secured around a pushbar support member in the shape of a spherical zone. Pivoting movement of the multidirectional pushbar is converted into an actuating force by a transfer mechanism, which may include a vertically movable carriage. In other embodiments, the multidirectional pushbar may include ramped surfaces and may support a carriage having rolling elements. Lateral movement of the multidirectional pushbar causes the carriage to roll up the ramped surfaces and actuate a pump to dispense a product.

Two-part fluid delivery systems

Exemplary dispensers, pumps and refill units for dispensing a liquid soap and concentrate mixtures are disclosed herein. An exemplary foam dispenser system includes a foamable liquid container, a concentrate container, an air source for providing pressurized air and a mixing chamber. One or more liquid conduits place the contents of the foamable liquid container in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. One or more air passages place the air source in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. An outlet conduit out of the mixing chamber is also provided. One or more concentrate conduits place the contents of the concentrate container in fluid communication with one of the liquid conduits, the air conduits, the mixing chamber and the outlet conduit. Mix media located within the outlet conduit.

Product dispenser with pressure relief

A fluid product dispensing system includes a liquid pump and a pneumatic pump that forces fluid product and pressurized air through a foaming device. The foam mixture forces a dispensing valve, located downstream, to open and thereby distribute product onto a user's hands. A control system turns off the pumps and open a pressure relief valve in the pneumatic conduit lines to relieve the buildup of pressure. The dispensing valve automatically resets, i.e. closes, to prevent the leakage of product from the nozzle.
