A re-usable sensor module for use with a dispenser for a hand hygiene product is described, wherein the dispenser comprises a container. The sensor module comprises an elastically deformable capsule with a top portion for placing a bottom of the container thereon. A sensor is arranged within the capsule and configured to measure a parameter associated with an elastic deformation of the capsule resulting from actuation or presence of the dispenser. The sensor module further comprises a processor arranged within the capsule and coupled to the sensor. The processor is configured to at least temporarily record at least one of the parameter and an event associated therewith.

A lotion pump structure includes a pump body extending into a bottle body and has a pump chamber and connected with a bottle-locking cap for fixing the pump body to the bottle body, the pump chamber internally has a pumping assembly to pump lotion upwards; the pump chamber lower end has a one-way valve, the pumping assembly upper end is connected with a bent mouth, the pump chamber inner wall has a locking cap, and a spring is between the locking cap upper end surface and the bent mouth; the pumping assembly includes a pump lever having at least one liquid inlet and connected with a piston, a limit assembly is between the pump lever and the locking cap to prevent the bent mouth from being pressed down when the pump lever rotates a certain angle. The structure is simple, self-locking, plastic, convenient for recycling, energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

A fluid dispenser with a pump mechanism that dispenses fluid when activated. A light sensor detects light in or around the fluid dispenser, and a controller controls a function of an electronic component of the fluid dispenser based on detection data received from the light sensor.

An adjustable holder configured to support a fluid dispensing container. The adjustable holder may include a clamp portion and a locking assembly. The clamp portion may include a first part and a second part, with the second part being movable relative to the first part. The first and second parts may include first and second locking channels. The locking assembly may include a connection member that is located within the first and second locking channels and a locking member. The locking member may be alterable between a locked state and an unlocked state, such that the first part of the clamp is movable relative to the second part of the clamp portion when the locking member is in the unlocked state. The first part may be movable relative to the second part between an open state and a closed state.

A foamer for use in dispensing a dosage of a product which has a foam consistency is disclosed. The foamer is described as having a high output and as being a mini foamer such that the associated pump engine is able to deliver a dosage for each stroke which is in excess of that dosage normally associated with mini foamers. The receptacle to which the pump engine is assembled has a neck finish which is smaller than those neck finishes normally associated with higher output foamers. The resulting combination as set forth herein is to provide a higher output dosage without changing the size benefits and preferences of a mini foamer.

A system for dispensing a personal care fluid, such as a hand soap or the like. The system includes a dispenser and a refill cartridge. The dispenser includes a dispenser body having a refill cavity and a dispenser lid configured to be coupled to the dispenser body. There may be a pump sub-system mounted to the dispenser lid, or alternatively the personal care fluid may be dispensed by squeezing the dispenser and refill cartridge. The refill cartridge is configured for slidable insertion into and removal from the refill cavity of the dispenser body. The personal care fluid system is designed so that a user can readily and easily change out/replace the refill cartridge for use with a common dispenser, dispenser lid, and pump sub-system.

An all plastic compression spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element formed from a tensile polymer material and first and second loading cones received at opposing first and second ends of the slotted tubular spring element. The loading cones are axially compressible toward each other within the slotted tubular spring element whereby the slotted tubular spring element radially expands in tension to create an opposing radial contraction force, and in turn, an axial extension spring force. When released, the spring element elastically returns to its normal at rest shape, returning the cones to their normal at rest positions.

A foam dispensing container (100) has a container body (40) that reserves a liquid agent (L); a head part (30) that has an outlet (20), and dispenses the liquid agent (L) delivered from the container body (40) through the outlet (20) into foam; and a pump head part (32) that allows dispensing of a predetermined amount of the foamy liquid agent (foam) through the outlet (20) each time it accepts a user's operation. The outlet (20) is formed with a contiguous geometry narrowed from an intended shape. A foam, dispensed through the outlet (20) as a result of a single or multiple operations of the pump head part (32), is built up into the intended shape in a plan view seen in the dispensing direction.

The invention relates to a container receiving device (10) for a dispensing container (28), in particular dispensers for liquid media, comprising a housing (12) comprising four side walls (14, 16, 18) and a housing bottom (20) for receiving the dispensing container (28) and a housing lid (22), with a securing device (47) for the dispensing container (28), with the securing device (47) comprising a latch (50) movable between a locking position and a release position, with the latch (50) in the locking position being moved into a region above a wall of a dispensing container (25) located in the container receiving device (10), so that the dispensing container (28) is secured against removal from the container receiving device (10) and in the release position is moved, in particular pivoted, out of the region.

A fluid dispenser with a pump mechanism that dispenses fluid when activated. A light sensor detects light in or around the fluid dispenser, and a controller controls a function of an electronic component of the fluid dispenser based on detection data received from the light sensor.
