An exemplary dispenser includes a base having at least one rail, a cover, and a mounting portion for a refill unit having a container for fluid. The cover is slideable along at least one rail of the base between a closed position and an open position.

In one example, a wipe dispensing system includes a housing that defines an internal wipe storage area, a lid rotatably connected to the housing, a fluid reservoir disposed within the housing, and a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. A fluid discharge manifold is in fluid communication with the pump and is arranged proximate to a portion of a wipe dispensing path. The lid is operably disposed with respect to the pump such that depression of the lid causes discharge of fluid from the pump through the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes partial dispensation of a wipe from the housing.

An automated chemical fluid applicator apparatus includes a container of fluid chemical having an integrated pressurization device and an outlet for releasing the fluid chemical. A portable, battery-powered fluid pumping apparatus is retrofitable to the container and has housing having at least one fluid inlet port and at least one fluid outlet port, wherein the at least one fluid inlet port is connectable to the outlet of the container. A liquid diaphragm pump is positioned within the housing. A battery is removably connectable to a battery terminal connector formed on the housing, wherein the battery powers the liquid diaphragm pump. A control switch is positioned on the housing and controls activation of the liquid diaphragm pump to expel the quantity of fluid chemical from the at least one fluid outlet port.

A dispensing assembly for dispensing fluid generally includes a container having a handle located toward an upper portion of the container, and a sprayer having arms extending away from the sprayer. The arms of the sprayer define a channel configured to receive at least part of the handle of the container within the channel to thereby couple the sprayer to the container. Such a dispensing assembly can be made by forming the container with a handle located toward an upper portion of the container, and forming the sprayer with the arms such that the arms can be used to couple the sprayer to the handle of the container, where the arms extend away from the sprayer and define the channel for receiving at least part of the handle of the container into the channel.

A handheld pressure washer device is provided that is electrically driven and does not require an external pump. The device comprises a handle section, a barrel section, and a water intake that is configured to secure to a standard water hose. The device includes a battery pack or connection to an external electrical power source, which delivers electrical power to an electric motor within the barrel section. The electric motor drives a driveshaft, which imparts rotary motion on an impeller within the barrel section. The impeller pressurizes and accelerates water within a conduit, causing the water to rapidly pass through a stator and through the outlet of the device. The speed of the electric motor is controlled by a user trigger, while the intake and outlet include coupling to affix attachments and water hoses thereto, respectively. The device provides a compact, handheld unit for pressurizing water from a hose.

The present disclosure is directed to a tool for operating a nozzle holder. The tool may include an elongated body extending between a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the second end defining a recess configured to selectively receive and hold a portion of the spray nozzle. The tool may include a nozzle storage receptacle formed in the elongated body between the first end and the second end, the nozzle storage receptacle configured to selectively receive and hold the spray nozzle. The nozzle storage receptacle defines an aperture that extends through the elongated body between a first lateral side of the elongated body and a second lateral side of the elongated body opposite the first lateral side.

A fluid sprayer includes a housing, a reservoir, a pump fluidly connected to the reservoir, and an adjustable nozzle assembly positioned downstream from the pump and configured to receive fluid discharged by the pump. The adjustable nozzle assembly includes a nozzle mount fixedly supported by the housing. The nozzle mount includes a conduit in fluid communication with the pump and a pressure seal assembly located within the conduit. The adjustable nozzle assembly also includes a wheel assembly rotatably coupled to the nozzle mount. The wheel assembly includes a selection wheel, a first nozzle coupled to the selection wheel, and a second nozzle coupled to the selection wheel. The wheel assembly is rotatable between a first position at which the first nozzle is located in fluid communication with the conduit and a second position at which the second nozzle is located in fluid communication with the conduit.

A fluid spray gun include a pressure vessel, a valve disposed in the pressure vessel and configured to be actuated between an open position and a closed position, a trigger actuatable to actuate the valve between the open and closed positions; and a valve actuating mechanism assembly partially disposed in the pressure vessel and coupled to the trigger. The valve actuating mechanism assembly includes an axle, a valve contacting member disposed along the axle and configured to contact the valve, a first sealing element disposed in the pressure vessel and configured to create a first seal against the axle and a first seal against the pressure vessel, a second sealing element disposed in the pressure vessel and configured to create a second seal against the axle and a second seal against the pressure vessel, and a fastener including threads and a hole configured to receive a portion of the axle.

Connectors and methods for contactless transfer of fluid between containers are disclosed. According to an aspect, a connector includes a body that defines a first end, a second end, and a passageway that extends between the first end and the second end, wherein the first end and second end are configured to attach to a first container and a second container, respectively. The passageway provides a pathway between the first and second containers when the first and second containers are attached to the first and second ends, respectively. Further, the connector includes an opener configured to engage and open the first container for release of a fluid from within the first container through the passageway and into the second container when the first and second containers are attached to the first and second ends, respectively.
