Another exemplary dispenser includes a refill unit and a refill unit frame member. The refill unit frame member has a bracket for receiving a lower portion of the refill unit. A back plate for mounting the dispenser is also included. An actuator is hingedly connected to the bracket. A curved push bar is connected to the actuator. An anvil is connected to the curved push bar. Movement of the actuator toward the back of the dispenser causes the anvil to move toward the front of the dispenser.

A soap dispenser having a soap level indication system includes a soap container with a main volume surrounded by one or more sidewalls, a channel disposed along at least one sidewall of the one or more sidewalls and being fluidically coupled to the main volume of the soap container via a passage, a float structure disposed within the channel and configured to float in a liquid within the soap container, and a level indicator disposed along an exterior surface of at least one sidewall of the one or more sidewalls. The level indicator is located adjacent the float structure. Further, the level indicator and the float structure are magnetically coupled to each other so that the level indicator indicates the location of the float structure within the channel.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for adaptive dispensing of fluid with a dispenser are provided herein. A dispenser comprises a housing with a reservoir for storing a fluid and a dispensing mechanism for dispensing a portion of the fluid from the reservoir through an outlet. The dispenser further includes a first sensor configured to sense an object and a second sensor configured to sense the object, wherein the second sensor is different than the first sensor. A controller is configured to receive data from the first sensor that is indicative of an environmental condition and determine whether the first sensor is in an unreliable state based thereon. The controller is further configured, in an instance in which the first sensor is determined to be in the unreliable state, cause the dispensing mechanism to operate to dispense the portion of the fluid in response to sensing the object via the second sensor.

A soap dispenser including a rigid cartridge, an inverted dispensing pump, a collar carrying a lever for actuating the pump, and a venting system for equalizing the air pressure in the rigid cartridge, wherein the rigid cartridge and the collar cooperate to removably attach the soap dispenser to a wall-mounted bracket, and further wherein at least the rigid cartridge is disposable and can be made of a recyclable and/or biodegradable material.

A dispenser includes a housing having an interior volume configured for receipt of a removable liquid reservoir. A mounting body is disposed within the housing. The mounting body defines a passage extending along a vertical direction between an inlet and an outlet. The passage is configured for receipt of a spout of the removable liquid reservoir at the inlet of the passage. A latch is coupled to the mounting body at the passage. The latch is configured for selectively engaging the spout of the removable liquid reservoir within the passage in order to block removal of the spout of the removable liquid reservoir from the passage.
