A device for dispensing a formulation of at least two compounds selected from a set of selectable compounds includes a plurality of containers storing the different selectable compounds, a pump associated with each container, a dispensing surface that includes at least two through openings configured to convey at least two selected compounds, a selector configured to connect the at least two through openings to the pumps for the selected compounds and to close the other pumps, and an actuator configured to activate all of the pumps and to only deliver the at least two selected compounds onto the dispensing surface.

A drain gun includes a handle and a trigger. The handle includes a channel and a plurality of inlets. The inlets feed the channel. The trigger causes a staged release of a plurality of fluids from a plurality of cartridges to the channel via the inlets when the cartridges are stored in the handle and feeding the inlets.

A docking station for a hand-held filament extension atomizer device includes a receiver to receive the device, station electronics, a recharging point for the device arranged to connect with a power source of the device, a power connection to an alternating current power source, and a cleaning reservoir of cleaning solution. A method of operating hand-held dispenser to dispense fluid as a mist includes receiving a signal at a motor contained in a casing in response to a user triggering an actuator on the casing, activating the motor to provide fluid to a filament extension atomizer contained in the case from a reservoir contained in the casing, the motor to cause the filament extension atomizer to generate a mist, and using an air source contained in the casing arranged adjacent the filament extension atomizer to provide air flow to direct the mist to a nozzle that is arranged to allow the mist to exit the casing.

A liquid object dispenser includes a body, multiple containers (500), a transfer table (110) including multiple container accommodating parts accommodating the multiple containers, the transfer table being able to relatively transfer the container accommodating parts to a replacement position in the body at which the containers are replaced and to a dispensing position in the body at which the stored liquids of the containers accommodated in the container accommodating parts are dispensed, and a liquid object dispensing part configured to cause the stored liquids of the containers accommodated in the container accommodating parts at the dispensing position to be dispensed.

A spray system for spraying a fluid, the spray system including a tank for holding the fluid; and a sprayer including a fluid conductor, a fluid mover, at least one first nozzle and a second nozzle, the fluid conductor including an inner diameter, a first end configured to be connected to the tank, a second end configured to be selectively connected to one of the at least one first nozzle and a second nozzle, wherein the second nozzle including a through opening at least about the same size as the inner diameter, wherein the fluid mover is configured to draw the fluid from the tank through one of the at least one first nozzle to create a spray of the fluid and the second nozzle to return at least a portion of the fluid to a storage tank.

A fluid dispenser (1) for dispensing a cosmetic composition (2) comprises a housing (3), a dispenser head (4), at least one first receptacle (16) being connectable to a first reservoir (5) comprising a first fluid (6), and at least one second receptacle (17) being connectable or connected to a second reservoir (7), the second reservoir (7) being configured to receive a second fluid (8). The fluid dispenser (1) further comprises a mixing area (18) being in fluid communication with the dispenser head (4), the first receptacle (16) and the second receptacle (17). The mixing area (18) is configured such, that the cosmetic composition (2) is generated when a dose of the first fluid (6) is mixed with the second fluid (8) within the mixing area (18).

Apparatus and methods for variable-control fragrance dispensing. The disclosed device brings customization to the fragrance industry. Interchanging sub-containers and selecting the amounts of each sub-container allows a user to customize their scents. A mixing chamber contained to receive and mix a variable amount of each liquid from a plurality of sub-containers is described. The mixed liquid is sprayable out a spray head of the device. Selector knobs may be used to control valves which control the variable amount of each liquid dispensed.

A ground sprayer includes a front portion and a rear portion. A marking fluid is stored in a fluid reservoir removably mounted in the front portion. A pump disposed in the front portion draws the marking fluid from the fluid reservoir through a manifold, and the pump drives the marking fluid out of a nozzle. An actuator is disposed in the rear portion and can activate the pump based on a command from the user. The rear portion includes a handle such that the user can fully support and operate the ground sprayer with a single hand.

An autonomous device for the vaporization and dispersal of a sanitizing agent adapted for the use in closed structures such as rooms, vehicles, trash bins, dumpsters, and other containers.

A vehicle wash component at a vehicle wash location includes a processor for controlling an operational status of the vehicle wash component, an actuator communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to operate the vehicle wash component, and a power source electrically coupled to the processor and the actuator. The processor receives a signal from a car wash controller located at the vehicle wash location, the signal for commanding control of the vehicle wash component, and upon receipt of the signal, the processor interprets the signal, generates a separate signal, and transmits the generated signal to the actuator. The actuator receives the signal from the processor for controlling the operational status of the vehicle wash component based thereon. The power source provides power to the actuator for operating the vehicle wash component based on the operational status of the vehicle wash component.
