Various implementations of the invention are directed toward a sanitizing door handle and/or components of such sanitizing door handle. Some implementations of the invention are directed toward a manual sanitizing door handle while some implementations of the invention are directed toward an auto-sanitizing door handle. According to some implementations of the invention, a sanitizing fluid is dispensed directly onto an exterior surface of the sanitizing door handle in connection with an operation of the door handle to sanitize the door handle. According to some implementations of the invention, a sanitizing fluid is dispensed directly onto a user's hand(s) in connection with an operation of the door handle to sanitize the user's hand(s).

A livestock weighing device that performs a secondary operation such as marking animals having a desired minimum weight with a visual indicia to aid sorting thereof. The weight of an animal moving across the platform actuates a cable system to move a shuttle associated with an actuator. The actuator changes condition to initiate a secondary operation, such as opening an outlet valve for a container of paint to dispense a quantity of paint onto the animal supported on the platform, when the sled is moved in a predetermined direction and the animal weighs more than the minimum required weight.

A spraying device for spraying fluid from a replaceable refill is described wherein the refill possesses a refill body containing a reservoir of fluid to be sprayed, a valve stem in fluid communication with the reservoir and a spray head mounted on the valve stem, the spray head having an exit nozzle, wherein the spray device comprises: a housing formed from an top portion and a base portion which are releasably connectable with each other through contact between engagement means on each portion, wherein the top portion comprises: a cavity configured to house at least an top portion of the refill therein; a top surface and an engagement surface having an top portion housing wall therebetween, wherein the top portion housing wall has a thickness; an actuation mechanism configured, in use, to actuate the spray head to spray fluid via the exit nozzle; a spray opening configured to permit, in use, sprayed fluid to exit the device into the surrounding environment; and wherein the base portion comprises: a cavity configured to house at least a base portion of the refill therein said cavity being defined by a cavity wall and a support platform configured, in use, to support the refill at a predefined position in the cavity; the base portion being provided with an engagement surface and a bottom surface and a base portion housing wall therebetween; wherein the base portion housing wall at least adjacent the bottom surface is spaced apart from the cavity wall by at least the predefined top housing wall thickness to define a top portion receiving channel; and whereby the device facilitates an operational configuration wherein the top portion and the base portion of the housing are engaged with each other by their respective engagement means with the refill located within the respective cavities; and wherein the device facilitates a packaged configuration wherein at least the engagement means and at least a some of the top portion housing wall of the top portion are located within the top portion receiving channel.

A dispensing system comprises a solenoid valve that includes an inlet end adapted to be attached to a container such that a valve stem thereof is held in an open state. A flow adapter includes a cylindrical wall and a post mounted within the cylindrical wall to define an annular passage therebetween. An inlet end of the flow adapter is sealingly attached to an outlet end of the solenoid valve, and the flow adapter is adapted to receive a spray insert within the annular passage.

The disclosure concerns a device for dispensing an atomized spray of a cosmetic composition. The device is capable of individual or commercial use, and provides yaw and pitch actuation of an operational head, along with the atomized spray to deliver the cosmetic composition to the body of a user. Electronics are configured to acquire data from a disposable spray bottle assembly, and approximate remaining volume or spray time according to the data. A linear laser provides guidance to the user for standing in order to receive optimal spray coverage.

The disclosure concerns a spray bottle assembly for use with an atomized-spray dispensing device. The spray bottle assembly generally includes a bottle containing an amount of cosmetic composition, a release mechanism having a port associated therewith, an insert with an insert lumen configured to engage the port for communicating the cosmetic composition therethrough, a nozzle for configuring a stream of the cosmetic composition expelled from the spray bottle assembly, a mixing chamber for mixing compressed air with the stream of the cosmetic composition, and a spray aperture for communicating atomized spray. The spray bottle assembly is designed for use with equipment having corresponding release elements for engaging the insert and release mechanism of the bottle.

A device for diffusing volatile substances includes a container for the volatile substances, a diffuser configured to diffuse the volatile substances, and at least one battery configured to supply energy to the diffuser. The device also includes a controller detecting data from at least one of the components of the device and determining the period of time during which the at least one battery supplies energy to the diffuser according to the data. This device allows the yield and efficiency to be improved, provides the desired products, and reduces consumption of the batteries.
