A dispenser is disclosed that includes a pump having a pump chamber that receives a fluid, a pulsation dampener, and a discharge conduit. The pulsation dampener has a dampener housing with an interior volume and a dampener housing opening. A spring biased movable piston is located in the interior volume of the pulsation dampener and defines a variable volume headspace between the piston and the dampener housing opening. The discharge conduit provides fluid communication between each of an outlet of the pump chamber, the dampener housing opening, and a nozzle such that, when the pump is activated, at least a portion of fluid from the outlet of the pump chamber flows within the discharge conduit to the dampener housing opening. The dispenser is configured to, when the pump is activated, emit a substantially constant stream of fluid from the nozzle for at least one second.

A dispensing pump mechanism is provided. The pump comprises integrally molded temper-evidence part between a container collar and a spout; said collar has multiple off-centre outlet channel for dispensing one or more products from the container; said collar also comprises an integrated air vent to be blocked and opened by the rotation of the spout. The whole pump can be over-molded one-piece structure with elastic parts as being actuating parts. The pump improves the functions of the pump, such as lower restitution rate, less structural parts, lower cost, water/dust proof, lightweight, easy assembly.

Exemplary embodiments of energy efficient foam pumps and dispensers are disclosed herein. An exemplary foam dispenser included a housing, a reservoir for holding a foamable liquid, a motor, a motor shaft, and a turbine air pump. The turbine air pump is connected to the motor shaft. A cam is also attached to the motor shaft and is used for driving a liquid pump. Liquid from the liquid pump and air from the turbine air pump are mixed in a mixing chamber and dispensed through an outlet nozzle. The touch-free foam dispenser further includes a sensor for sensing an object, circuitry for receiving a signal from the sensor indicative of an object being present and circuitry for energizing the motor to dispense fluid in the form of a foam.

An apparatus and method of using a device for dispensing fluid comprising a flexible and collapsible container, a fluid dispenser pump connected to the flexible and collapsible fluid container configured to draw fluid from the flexible and collapsible fluid container into the fluid dispenser pump and to dispense fluid through a fluid delivery channel to an exit port upon actuation of the pump. The dispenser pump having an actuator comprising a dose delivery button, and a sensor located in the apparatus and configured to actuate the dispenser pump upon physical contact of the dose delivery button by a user.

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 fluid dispenser assembly having a fluid reservoir (4), a dispenser member (5), and a dispenser orifice (62). The fluid reservoir (4) includes a piston (42) movable in leaktight sliding contact in a slide cylinder (41) over a maximum stroke defined between a start position that corresponds to a substantially full state of the reservoir, and an end position that corresponds to a substantially empty state of the reservoir. The dispenser assembly further includes an RFID tag (40) that is secured to the piston (42).

A dispensing pump mechanism is provided. The pump comprises integrally molded temper-evidence part between a container collar and a spout; said collar has multiple off-centre outlet channel for dispensing one or more products from the container; said collar also comprises an integrated air vent to be blocked and opened by the rotation of the spout. The whole pump can be over-molded one-piece structure with elastic parts as being actuating parts. The pump improves the functions of the pump, such as lower restitution rate, less structural parts, lower cost, water/dust proof, lightweight, easy assembly.

Dispensers are disclosed that are adapted to be coupled to a reservoir to dispense a fluid contained in the reservoir. A dispenser includes a pump having a pump chamber, an intake conduit, a discharge conduit, and a pulsation dampener. The pulsation dampener includes a housing with an interior volume and an opening. Further, the pulsation dampener includes a spring biased movable piston located in the interior volume and defines a variable volume headspace between the piston and the opening of the pulsation dampener, the opening being in fluid communication with the discharge conduit.

A standalone pedal sprayer is an apparatus that dispenses a solution. The apparatus serves as a free-standing dispenser that facilitates the retrieval of a solution such as hand sanitizer, alcohol, and the like. The apparatus includes a sprayer housing, a foot pump, a supply tubing, and a nozzle. The sprayer housing is vertically oriented and positions the nozzle within hands-reach of a user. The sprayer housing also serves as a reservoir for a solution and is refillable. The foot pump dispenses the solution within the sprayer housing and out of the nozzle. The apparatus further includes a pedal shield that protects a rubber cap of the foot pump from being damaged. In order to provide access into the sprayer housing for refill, the sprayer housing further includes a refill cover and a cam lock. The cam lock prevents any unauthorized solutions or materials from entering into the sprayer housing.

The invention is directed to a dispensing device comprising a rigid container, a flexible bladder, and a rigid stopper. The container is adapted to contain a product to be dispensed. The flexible bladder is disposed below and in fluid communication with the container. The bladder comprises a top end, a sidewall extending downwardly from the top end and terminates in a spout. The bladder is in a liquid tight engagement with the container and the product contained in the container is adapted to flow into the bladder. The rigid stopper is disposed within the flexible bladder and comprises a top end, and at least one sidewall extending downwardly from the top end, and terminates in an open bottom end. The stopper comprises a plurality of through holes.
