A fluid dispensing apparatus is provided for dispensing fluids and objects without requiring use of hands. The fluid dispensing apparatus may include a body, footing, pedal, actuation rod, platform, dispensing object, container, container lid, sign member, and bolt. A method for dispensing fluids and objects without requiring use of hands using the fluid dispensing apparatus is also provided.

A same-hand, finger-mounted, and finger-operated hand sanitizer dispensing system with finger-mounted or with remote-mounted fluid reservoir, is disclosed herein. The system is operable without risk of cross-contamination, and is operable by the contaminated hand for self-decontamination. A dispensing pump is mounted on one finger and operated by another finger on the same hand. The dispensing pump draws sanitizer from a reservoir by way of a supply tubing. The reservoir can be mounted on the same finger as the pump or on another finger of the same hand.

A fluid dispenser having a casing (E) provided with a dispenser head (11); and a refill cartridge (C) that includes a fluid reservoir (R). The refill cartridge (C) is axially insertable into the casing (E) in such a manner as to connect the fluid reservoir (R) to the dispenser head (11). The refill cartridge (C) and the casing (E) are provided with a connection mechanism (17, 253) that connects the refill cartridge (C) in the casing (E) by screw-fastening, so as to bring the fluid reservoir (R) into leaktight contact with the dispenser head (11). The movement, after screw-fastening, of the refill cartridge (C) in the casing (E) towards the dispenser head (11) delivers the fluid to the dispenser head (11).

Infectious diseases may be acquired in public areas such as transportation terminals, shopping centers, schools, hospitals, restaurants and hotels. Large surface areas may be disinfected using a spray system to distribute a suitable fluid such as a disinfectant. Many existing spray systems are large and unwieldy causing operator fatigue. Some spray systems have large, heavy external tanks that provide fluid to the spray system using an external fluid hose. Disclosed is an improved portable spraying system that may be carried by a system operator. The improved system has a tank, a pump, a valve, a nozzle, and a fan all powered by a battery. The tank, the pump, and the battery are arranged to minimize operator fatigue. With the valve set to the priming position, fluid recirculates to prime the pump. Once the pump is primed, the valve is turned to the spray position to begin spraying.

A device comprising: a dispenser (1) comprising a reservoir (2) containing the fluid product, a dispensing head (3) provided with a dispensing orifice (4), able to move axially relative to the reservoir (2), and a dispensing member (5) actuated when the reservoir (2) is moved axially upwards relative to said dispensing head (3), an inner body (10) comprising a hollow cylinder (11) receiving said dispenser (1), an outer body (20) receiving said inner body (10), a push member (30), and an actuating system; said push member (30) being movable relative to said inner body (10) between a rest position and an actuating position, a spring (40) being interposed between said inner body (10) and said push member (30), said spring (40) being compressed in the rest position of said push member (30) in order to urge it towards its actuating position, said actuating system comprising a reset gear (50), a pawl (60), a floating wheel (70), a motor wheel (75), and a motor (80), wherein: said pawl (60) interacts with said push member (30) to lock it in the rest position, said pawl (60) being moved from its locked position towards a release position by said floating wheel (70) when the motor (80) rotates in a first actuating direction, and said reset gear (50) interacts with said push member (30), said reset gear (50) being moved by said floating wheel (70) when the motor (80) rotates in a second reset direction in order to return said push member (30) into its rest position.

A fluid substance dispensing device includes an external container with a containment element formed of a deformable part and an essentially rigid neck featuring a first flange which abuts with a free end of the external container at one of the mouth thereof, an intermediate element with a cup-shaped part inserted into the neck and fastened to the external container so that the first flange is sandwiched between the free end and the intermediate element, the cup-shaped part including an opening in communication with an internal part of the deformable part, there being—inside the cup-shaped part—a valve element configured for displacement by the body of an airless pump so that, when the body of the pump is absent or in an unused position, the valve element is stably closed, while when the pump body is pushed into a use position, the valve element is stably open.

A condiment dispensing pump system is provided that includes a valve chamber and a valve retainer having a first portion defining a valve cavity and a second portion for coupling to an inlet flow path. A one-way valve is removably insertable into the valve cavity. The one-way valve includes a tether portion coupled to the second portion of the valve retainer such that the one-way valve is removable from the valve cavity while still tethered to the valve retainer. The condiment dispensing pump system includes a spout having a first end fluidly coupled to the valve cavity and a second end opposite the first end. A dispensing nozzle is removably attached to the second end of the spout, the dispensing nozzle being tethered to the spout tube such that when the dispensing nozzle is detached from the second end of the spout the dispensing nozzle remains tethered to the spout tube.

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 assembly method of an apparatus suitable for pressurized liquid transfusion is disclosed. In one step, a nozzle is to be inserted into the through hole of an elastomeric ring. Because the dimension of the nozzle is larger than the through hole, the internal wall of the elastomeric ring is tensioned and deformed so as to fit the nozzle. In one step, the elastomeric ring along with the nozzle is inserted into a receptacle. The dimension of the outer contour of the elastomeric ring needs to be decreased so as to be accommodated by the receptacle. Due to the flexibility of the elastomeric ring, it resumes at least partially to its original shape. Therefore, proper seal is created and maintained between the elastomeric ring and the nozzle such that leakage and pressure loss may be prevented. The foregoing is capable of working under high-pressured environment for prolonged use.

A reservoir for a nebulizer includes: a tank or bag containing multiple doses of a fluid to be nebulized, and an indicator device for counting or indicating a number of uses performed or still possible with the reservoir, where at least one of: the reservoir includes a connector for fluidically connecting the tank or bag with the nebulizer, the indicator device is actuated by moving the connector relative to the tank or bag, and the reservoir includes or forms an eccentrical linear guidance for a driving part for driving the indicator device.
