Exemplary foam pumps, refill units and foam dispenser systems are disclosed herein. One exemplary refill unit includes a container and a foam pump secured to the container. The foam pump includes an outer housing, an inner housing and a cap. An air pump chamber is formed at least in part by the inner housing. In addition, a liquid pump chamber is formed at least in part by the inner housing. At least a portion of the liquid pump chamber is also formed by the outer housing. An air outlet is located at the bottom of the air pump chamber, which connects to an air outlet passage formed at least in part by the outer housing and the inner housing. Air and liquid dispense tubes are included as well as a mixing chamber located remotely from the foam pump.

A fluid dispensing system, fluid reservoir, refill container for refilling the fluid reservoir, and method of refilling the fluid reservoir are provided. The fluid dispensing system includes a refill connection port or nozzle to which a refill container is connected when refilling the fluid reservoir. The fluid reservoir includes a piston head and an actuator for moving the piston head in a first direction and in a second direction. When the piston head is moved in the first direction, the fluid within the fluid reservoir is pressurized, causing the fluid to be dispensed through an outlet of the fluid reservoir. When the piston head is moved in the second direction, a vacuum is created within the fluid reservoir that draws fluid, from the refill container, into the fluid reservoir. The fluid dispensing system includes a valve to enable multiple refill containers to be coupled to the nozzle and/or the refill connection port.

A dispenser bottle assembly (12) is adapted for attachment to a mounting base (14) fixed to a surface. The assembly (12) includes a dispenser bottle (24) having a base and a projection extending outwardly from the base, an externally threaded collar (28) mounted for rotation about the projection, and a drive member (26) mounted about the projection between the collar and the base of the bottle. The threaded collar (28) is received in a threaded recess (18) in the mounting base to secure the bottle to the base. Corresponding formations on the drive member (26), the base and the collar (28) allow the collar to be screwed into and out of the mounting base (14) by rotating the bottle whilst allowing a limited degree of rotational freedom between the bottle and the collar so that the angular orientation of the bottle can be adjusted after fitting.

Systems and methods for assessing the effectiveness of a decontamination event to decontaminate a portion of at least one of skin or a covering of the skin of an individual. A dispensing apparatus is attachable to a water dispenser via a water dispenser interface. The dispensing apparatus to house an agent dispensing system and a light source. The light source to emit light in accordance with a predetermined field of view, and to emit the light at a sufficient intensity and wavelength to cause a fluorescent agent dispensed by the agent dispensing system to fluoresce. The field of view defines an inspection space in which the portion of the individual can be positioned to detect at least one of a presence or an absence of the fluorescent agent during the decontamination event.

A hand cleaner fluid dispenser, including a reservoir for containing hand cleaner fluid to be dispensed; a dispenser outlet for discharge of the hand cleaner fluid from the reservoir; and a discharge mechanism operable to discharge a drop of the hand cleaner fluid from the dispenser outlet when activated. A levitator device is incorporated into the hand cleaner fluid dispenser, and is operable to levitate the drop of hand cleaner fluid at a position where the drop is accessible to be taken by a user's hand.

A water faucet system including a faucet having a neck comprising a water passageway and liquid soap delivery line, both integrated within the neck assembly. The water faucet system features a streamlined neck assembly that includes a water outlet or spout, located at the distal portion of the neck assembly, and additionally includes a separate soap outlet located at a predetermined location. The soap delivery (soap dispensing) is initiated by a user performing an activation event directed to a sensor system located in the neck assembly. In preferred embodiments, the sensor system utilizes touchless type sensors so to avoid any physical contact with the neck assembly.

A dispenser is provided including a reservoir, a stem extending from the reservoir, a funnel within the reservoir having a funnel portion and a conduit, the conduit extending within the reservoir and along a major length of the reservoir, and a dispensing spout extending above the funnel, allowing the reservoir if filled from the funnel. A method of filling a fluid dispenser is provided and a method for operating power driven pump in a dispenser is provided.

An integrally formed sensor type faucet liquid soap dispenser includes a faucet main body provided with an upper surface, a lower surface, a side surface, and a rear surface. The faucet main body further includes: a water output sensor window, disposed on the lower surface at a water output end of the faucet main body, and having the water output sensor provided inside; and a liquid soap output sensor window, disposed on the upper surface or the rear surface at the water output end of the faucet main body, and having the liquid soap output sensor provided inside. The water output port and the liquid soap output port are both disposed on the lower surface at the water output end of the faucet main body, such that water output port and liquid soap output port are adapted to output water and liquid soap respectively through using an interlock circuit.

According to one embodiment, a soap dispenser includes a nozzle, a pump operable to dispense soap through the nozzle and to be positioned above a surface of a counter, a push rod having a pivot arm aperture. The push rod is coupled to the pump and movement of the push rod in a direction toward the pump activates the pump. The soap dispenser further includes a pivot arm having a lift end disposed within the pivot arm aperture, and a motor assembly. The motor assembly is operable to rotate to pivot the pivot arm and lift the lift end such that the push rod activates the pump to dispense soap through the nozzle.

A fluid dispensing system including a fluid dispenser that is operable in a stand-alone mode, and a housing that is configured to removably receive the fluid dispenser for operation of the fluid dispenser in a housed mode. When the fluid dispenser is placed on top of a horizontal support surface for operation of the fluid dispenser in the stand-alone mode, a pump mechanism of the fluid dispenser is manually activatable to dispense an allotment of fluid by manually depressing an activation member of the pump mechanism. When the fluid dispenser is received by the housing for operation of the fluid dispenser in the housed mode, the pump mechanism is activatable by activating an actuation mechanism of the housing
