A locking member is configured to couple to a suction cup and a suction securing nut. The locking member includes a locking ring, and a container retaining housing coupled to the locking ring. The container retaining housing is configured to retain a container.

A dispensing pump includes a spring assembly and a locking arrangement to prevent the dispensing head from being deployed and/or actuated during shipment, stocking and pre-purchase handling. The dispensing pump includes a pump base, and a dispensing head having a piston stem. The spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element and first and second loading cones received at opposing ends of the slotted tubular spring element. Various locking arrangements may include interacting rotatable lugs provided between the dispensing head and the pump base, snap beads to retain the piston and dispensing head in a secured shipping position, and recyclable locking rings disposed between the dispensing head and pump base which prevent an active dispensing head from being actuated.

A dip tube for a fluid pump which dip tube includes at least one frangible portion which, when intact, provides different characteristics to the dip tube than when broken, including, for example, providing for shortening of the length of the dip tube and/or providing for an inlet opening at a closed a lower end of the dip tube. The dip tube is to be inserted into a fluid containing bottle such that on insertion a distal end of the dip tube comes into engagement with a bottom wall of the reservoir with forces arising in such engagement resulting in a breaking of the frangible portion causing a change of characteristics of the dip tube.

A liquid soap dispenser having a press-type nozzle that dispenses liquid soap from the nozzle by being pressed by hand includes a dispenser body, a nozzle, a pump, and the like. The dispenser body is supported inside an upper storage portion by a lower bracket and an upper bracket. A connecting member connects a vertically moving member and the nozzle. When a user places a hand below the nozzle, a human body detection unit detects the hand, and a control unit causes a motor to rotate in a forward direction and raise the vertically moving member from a lower limit position to an upper limit position; and by raising the nozzle from the lower limit position to the upper limit position via the connecting member, liquid soap is automatically dispensed from the nozzle.

Dispenser systems, dispensers, and repositories can add a fragrance to an unscented liquid beauty preparation. The dispenser system includes a dispenser having a cavity for retaining at least a first liquid, and a repository configured for removably attaching to the dispenser, the repository having a reservoir for retaining at least a second liquid. The dispenser is coupled with a pump assembly including at least one pump for drawing the at least a first liquid and the at least a second liquid into a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is coupled with an actuator in such a manner that when the actuator is pressed down by an external force, the mixing chamber communicates with the pump to suction the first and second liquids into the mixing chamber to form a liquid mixture for dispensing through a nozzle.

An all plastic compression spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element formed from a tensile polymer material and upper and lower loading cones received at opposing upper and lower ends of the slotted tubular spring element. The upper loading cone may be axially compressible towards the lower loading cone 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. In some dispenser configurations, the lower loading cone may be stationary or fixed within the dispensing head and the upper loading cone may be downwardly compressible toward the lower loading cone by movement of a nozzle head.

A dispensing pump (10) includes a removable chaplet (28) to facilitate removal of the internal metal spring components (44) for recycling. The dispensing pump (10) includes an accumulator (12) having an upper rim wall (24). The chaplet (28) is coaxially snap received about the rim wall (24) of the accumulator (12). The chaplet (28) has a body portion (30) received within the rim wall (24), and an outer wall (32) received outside of the rim wall (24). The outer wall (32) has a frangible wall portion (48) and a pull tab (50) at a terminal edge thereof. A dispensing head (36) with a piston stem (38) and spring (44) are coaxially guided within the chaplet (28) and accumulator (12). When the container is empty, the user pulls on the pull tab (50) to sever the frangible elements, releasing the chaplet (28) and allowing easy removal of the dispensing head (36) and the metallic spring component (44).

A dispenser bottle containing liquid may be mounted to a wall by a mounting assembly including a base and a carriage plate. Amounting bracket may be anchored to the wall and the carriage plate is coupled to the mounting bracket and is spring biased toward an extended configuration relative to the mounting bracket. A release pin maintains the carriage plate and base in a retracted configuration. A collar projects from an upper end of the mounting bracket to capture a neck of the bottle. A projection extends upwardly from the base and into a socket on the bottom of the bottle when seated on the base. The combination of the mating socket and projection at the base and the collar around the neck of the bottle inhibits removal of the bottle from the mounting assembly when in the retracted configuration.

A portable multicomponent fluid and paper based product dispenser having an airless pump dispensing unit mounted to a container body having an outlet through which disposable goods may be successively drawn. The airless pump housing unit contains a diaphragm mechanism and spring nozzle positioned in the center of the apparatus superiorly and a disk shaped base plate positioned in the bottom inner circumference of the shell, separated by aqueous solvent. Air intake received from the bottom portion of the outer shells of both the upper and lower compartment structures, causes an upward flow of product via a vacuum chamber. A wall which creates division between the upper and lower compartments and the remainder of the outer shell houses the enclosed interfolded sediment free disposable wipes that are removed through an outlet. The outlet is closeable by means of a detachable cap.

A foam discharger includes a foamer mechanism (20), the foamer mechanism (20) includes: a liquid flow path (50) through which liquid supplied from a liquid supply unit to a mixing part (21) passes; and a gas flow path (70) through which a gas supplied from a gas supply unit to the mixing part (21) passes, the liquid flow path (50) includes an adjacent liquid flow path (51) having a liquid inlet (52) open to the mixing part (21), the gas flow path (70) includes a plurality of adjacent gas flow paths (71) each having a gas inlet (72) open to the mixing part (21), and the liquid inlet (52) is arranged at a position corresponding to a merging part (22) of gases supplied from the plurality of adjacent gas flow paths (71) to the mixing part (21) via the gas inlet (72).
