A foam discharge container is a foam discharge container for discharging foam in response to a pushing operation, and includes a discharge port which is opened in a direction opposite to a pushing direction of the pushing operation and discharges foam, and a pushing portion that keeps the distance between a discharge target body receiving foam and the discharge port constant.

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.

The present invention relates to a device (10) for delivering a fluid, in particular a cleaning, care or disinfecting fluid for hands, comprising a housing (12) which encloses a cavity (14) into which a container (18) for holding the fluid can be installed, and forms an outer housing surface (28), a pump and metering unit (20), which can be connected or is connected to the housing (12), which can be connected in a detachable manner to the container (18), and with which the fluid can be pumped out of the container (18) and delivered, comprises a monitoring unit (54), with which device-related and/or user-related data can be collected and stored, and a display (76) interacting with the monitoring unit (54) for entering and displaying the user-related data and/or the device-related data. The invention also relates to a system for monitoring such a device (10.sub.2).

A countertop foam dispenser has a spout made of a spout extension front housing and a spout extension rear housing. The spout includes a spout nozzle with a spout opening. A spout mounting shaft is mounted to the spout at a mounting shaft bracket. A mixer pump housing has a spout retainer latch. The mixer pump housing houses a mixer pump. The mixer pump includes a motor. A retainer notch is formed on the lower portion of the spout. The retainer notch is configured to engage the spout retainer latch. A bottle contains liquid soap. The bottle has a connection to the mixer pump housing.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an agitating device which can be shaken to agitate, whip, froth and disperse the liquid material content.

There is provided a device for mixing liquid material comprising: a container containing liquid material; an opening-closing member formed on the top of said container; and a coil spring accommodated in said container and having an end fixed on the upper part of said container so as to be vibrable and oscillable. The coil spring has a smaller coil pitch in its lowest part than that in its upper part.

Various dispensing devices, such as foaming soap pumps, are disclosed. The soap pump can include a fluid storage unit and a fluid handling unit. The fluid storage unit can include a reservoir that is configured to hold a quantity of product, such as liquid soap. The fluid handling unit can include a pumping assembly and dispensing assembly. The soap pump can be configured to withdraw liquid soap from the reservoir, convert the liquid soap to foamed soap, and dispense the foamed soap from the discharge assembly.
