A system for dispensing a fluid, such as a hand soap or the like. The system includes a dispenser and/or a refill cartridge. The dispenser includes a dispenser body having a refill cavity, a dispenser lid configured to be coupled to the dispenser body, and a pump sub-system mounted to the dispenser lid. The pump sub-system includes a first dip tube, a dispensing orifice, and a pump. The refill cartridge includes a cartridge body having a fluid cavity, a store of a fluid in the fluid cavity, and a second dip tube extending into the store of the fluid. The refill cartridge is configured for slidable insertion into and removal from the refill cavity of the dispenser body. The dispenser lid may be coupled to the dispenser body thereby mating the first and second dip tubes to enable dispensing of the fluid.

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.

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.

A foaming dispenser has a mixing chamber configured to mix a liquid and a gas to foam the liquid, a first liquid passage configured to supply the liquid to the mixing chamber, and a discharge opening configured to discharge the foamed liquid, the mixing chamber includes a plurality of second liquid passages branching and extending from the first liquid passage, a liquid passage meeting where one second liquid passage meets another second liquid passage, a gas passage configured to supply the gas to the liquid flowing from the plurality of second liquid passages to the liquid passage meeting, and a hole that is provided on a downstream side of the gas passage and communicates with the discharge opening.

A liquid soap dispenser includes a container having a flexible outer wall and including a quantity of liquid soap therein. The upper surface of the container can be moved between an upper position and a lower position but is spring biased into the upper position. A pump within said container pumps a portion of the liquid soap onto the upper surface when it is moved downwardly into its lower position. A normally closed valve at the bottom of the container opens to dispense liquid soap from the bottom of the container when the container is squeezed.

The present disclosure is a foam machine which is convenient to use, triggers foam generation and extrusion by a sensor, and effectively avoids cross infection caused by hands making contact with the machine.

A liquid dispenser includes a liquid pump and bottle containing liquid product. A product management system manages helps track usage information, e.g., number of pump actions, how much product in a dispenser has been used or remains. The user may provide a seller with feedback based on a use indicator. A system tracks usage, maintains usage database, processes machine learning and artificial intelligence to acquire understanding of usage and facilitates replenishing personal care liquid product. The dispenser includes a product usage indicator and/or feedback mechanism or dispensing metering device for detecting pump actuation. The usage indicator mechanism may include a display component adapted to display a number or other indicia representing number of pump actions performed or remaining. The indicia provides the user and/or seller with an approximation of one or both of the amount of product used/dispensed and the amount of product remaining in the dispenser.

A lockable receptacle holder 10 comprising a holder base portion 20 configured to support the bottom 5 of a receptacle 1; a holder upper portion 30 and an elongated holder back portion 40 extending between the holder base portion 20 and the holder upper portion 30, wherein the holder base portion 20 and the holder upper portion 30 extend laterally from the holder back portion 40 and parallel to each other, and wherein; the holder upper portion 30 comprises a closed space C configured to at least partially enclose and releasably confine the neck 2 or shoulder 3 of a receptacle placed on the holder base portion 20, and; a cap locking member 80 for preventing removal of a cap 9 of a receptacle 1 in the receptacle holder 10.

A fluid dispenser having a temperature sensor that senses a temperature of an external surface presented by a user's hand, and a pump mechanism that is configured to dispense fluid onto the user's hand when the pump mechanism is activated. It is determined whether the fluid has been dispensed onto the user's hand based, at least in part, on the temperature of the external surface presented by the user's hand.

A wall-mounted dispenser for supplying and removing a liquid, in particular a detergent substance or a care product for personal hygiene, the dispenser including a replaceable container (1) for the liquid and a wall mount (2) for mounting the wall-mounted dispenser on a structural facility. The container is provided with a dispensing unit (6) for the dosed removal of liquid from the container, and the wall mount has an upper holding element (13) and a lower holding element (17) for holding and securing the container against unauthorized removal from the wall mount. The wall mount has at least two mounting parts (9, 10) that can be moved or adjusted in relation to each other. An upper mounting part (9) is securely connected to the upper holding element (13) and a lower mounting part (10) is securely connected to the lower holding element (17), respectively.
