Soap pump
A hand pump for fixing to a working surface comprises a pump housing and an outlet that extends substantially laterally with respect to the pump housing in order to extend above a receptacle. The pump is operable by substantially straight-lined operational movement of the outlet along the pump housing. The outlet and the pump housing are coupled by a guide, in particular comprising a guide in the pump housing that inhibits tilting of the outlet with respect to the pump housing.
LIQUID PRODUCT PUMP DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
Liquid product pump devices, systems, and methods of using the same. An exemplary system of the present disclosure comprises a device, comprising a pump mechanism coupled to a receiving tube whereby a distal end of the receiving tube extends into a skirt, wherein when the skirt is attached to a neck of an bottle having liquid contents therein and wherein when the device rests within or upon a pump base, pressing the inverted bottle and the pump base toward one another causes a portion of the liquid contents to transfer from the inverted bottle and out of the pump base, and further comprises the bottle and the pump base.
Foam soap-providing machine with function of recycling soap-liquid
A foam soap-providing machine with function of recycling soap-liquid, which comprises: a container containing a soap-liquid and having a soap-releasing portion; a shell-group including at least two detachable shell-bodies combinedly disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the soap-releasing portion; and a faucet mounted on the upper end of the soap-releasing portion and having a soap-feeding portion provided for flowing out the pressurized soap-liquid; wherein the soap-feeding portion has a joint end; wherein a foam-generating module used to generate a foam and a foam-recycling module used to recycle the extruded unused foam are comprised in the shell-group; thereby it can generate foam and recycle the remaining foam in the soap-releasing portion through a single motor. Accordingly, the present invention greatly saves the structural volume and prevents the soap-liquid from being dropped outside and wasted.
Foam-at-a-distance systems and anti-drip mechanisms for such systems
Exemplary foam-at-a-distance systems include a spout, a container, and a foam generator having a suck-back mechanism located within the spout. The system includes a liquid pump chamber, an air pump chamber, a liquid conduit and an air conduit. The foam generator has a differential bore housing. The differential bore housing has a first portion with a first inside bore and a second portion with a second inside bore, wherein the first inside bore has a smaller diameter than the second inside bore. A piston having a seal extending from the piston that is in contact with the second inside bore is also included. A mixing chamber is located in the large bore. Movement of the seal in an upstream direction provides negative pressure in the second mixing chamber and draws in fluid from the outlet.
Fluid dispenser and fluid refill system for fluid dispenser
A fluid dispenser includes a dispensation conduit and a refill conduit. A refill system includes a refill reservoir and a refill distribution conduit. The refill distribution conduit is configured for selective fluid coupling with the refill conduit to facilitate refilling of the fluid dispenser.
Foam-at-a-distance dispensing systems
A dispensing system includes an above-deck nozzle portion, a reservoir for holding fluid, a foam pump, a multi-lumen dispense passage, and a mixing portion. The above-deck nozzle portion has a dispenser outlet and is disposed above a counter. The foam pump is disposed below the counter and includes at least one liquid pump chamber in fluid communication with the reservoir, at least one air pump chamber, and a pump outlet. The multi-lumen dispense passage includes an inlet, an outlet, at least one liquid lumen, and at least two air lumens. The inlet is in fluid communication with the pump outlet, the outlet is in fluid communication with the dispenser outlet, and the at least one liquid lumen and the at least two air lumens are each in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet of the multi-lumen dispense passage. The mixing portion is disposed between the multi-lumen dispense passage and the dispenser outlet.
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 and soap 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 and soap, accordingly. A controller within the lavatory fixture receives inputs from each sensor and activates the appropriate pump or valve to deliver the desired product at the appropriate outlet.
Automatic foam soap dispenser
An automatic foam soap dispenser includes a liquid soap dispenser, an activation unit, and an actuation unit. The liquid soap dispenser includes an outlet, a fluid reservoir for containing liquid soap, and a pump being depressed for dispensing the liquid soap in the fluid reservoir to the outlet. The activation unit includes a sensor for detecting a presence of a user of the liquid soap dispenser, and a motor having a transmission shaft, wherein the motor is activated by the sensor for generating a rotational power to the transmission shaft. The actuation unit includes a pressing member and a linkage system arranged to transmit the rotational power from the motor to a linear movement to the pressing member so as to drive the pressing member to depress the pump.
