Abstract:
A dispensing device is selectively operable in a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. The device comprises a base and a refill removably connectable with the base. The base comprises a first dispensing system and a first actuator communicably connected with the first dispensing system. The refill comprises a reservoir having a sidewall and an orifice. The first dispensing system is in fluid communication with the refill in the first mode of operation and the refill is disconnected from the base in the second mode of operation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning hands. The subject method provides the use of nebulised water for cleaning operations, which nebulised water is directed by command onto the hands to be cleaned. The subject device comprises a case (1), which defines an environment in which the hands to be cleaned are inserted, which environment is provided with a plurality of nebuliser nozzles (3a) introducing nebulised water into the case (1) by command, which water is sent to the nozzles by means of a pumping device (3).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a container having an opening lying in a plane (3), wherein said opening is provided on a connecting piece (2) of the container. A closure (10) of said container can be removed by displacement in the plane. At least one guide element (4) is provided on the connecting piece (2), on or in which the closure (10) can be displaced relative to the container (1). The closure (10) comprises at least one recess (16) on at least one of its outer surfaces (17, 18, 19).
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser includes a dispenser housing that receives a replaceable fluid reservoir. The reservoir is held in fixed relationship to the dispenser housing by a retaining latch. Fluid is dispensed by moving a pivotally attached lever in a first direction to activate a pump fluidly connected to the reservoir. The lever is also pivotally connected to move in a second opposite direction. A cam actuator extends from the lever and is configured to disengage the retaining latch when the lever is moved in the second direction.
Abstract:
A hand sanitization device that includes a hand-hygiene module operably coupled to a sanitization device having a body with a dispensing portion operable to discharge a sanitizing fluid during a hand-hygiene event including at least one user step, the hand-hygiene module having a transducer coupled to the body and operably emitting an attention stimuli at an at least one of an adjustably increased and adjustably decreased rate based on a stimulus factor.
Abstract:
A shield for a fluid dispenser includes a mount structure and a fluid-deflecting structure defining an interior flow passage. The mount structure is configured to be attached to an actuator of a fluid dispenser. Fluid dispensers and fluid dispenser systems are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A collapsible container has a front face and a collapsible backing, wherein the container volume decreases as product is removed, and the collapsible backing collapses by vacuum as the container volume decreases. The front face may be flexible and thus susceptible to losing its original shape as the container volume decreases, but is nevertheless designed to retain its shape by having a frame around at least a portion of its perimeter. The front face may instead be adapted to retain its shape as the collapsible backing collapses upon a decrease in the container volume. The collapsible container is of particular beneficial use in a dispenser housing having a sight window in a front wall thereof, the sight window being aligned with the front face of the collapsible container.
Abstract:
A concealed soap dispenser comprising: a sink having a sink drain and an overflow opening; an overflow housing secured within the overflow opening, the overflow housing including an inlet to allow fluid to enter a chamber within the overflow housing and an outlet to allow fluid to exit the chamber within the overflow housing; an overflow drain conduit secured by its proximal end to the overflow housing and secured by its distal end to the sink drain wherein fluid may exit the overflow housing and flow through the lumen and into the sink drain; and a soap dispenser secured within the overflow housing.
Abstract:
To solve the problem of providing a holding device which allows an arrangement therein of a container not specifically designed for a dispensing device, such a holding device is proposed for a container for in particular liquid products, in particular soaps, which can be inserted in a dispensing device, comprising a holding part for releasable arrangement in the dispensing device, a receiving part for releasably receiving a connecting element for the container, and a supporting part which provides a support for the container.
Abstract:
A dispenser (1) for disposable hygienic articles such as wipes or towels in stacks or rolls, or soap, comprises a clamp suitable for securing the dispenser (1) to a supporting structure (T) such as the edge of a shelf or a table. The clamp including a stationary clamping part (8) for engaging one side of the supporting structure, a movable clamping part (4) for engaging an opposite side of the supporting structure, and means for urging the clamping parts (8, 4) towards each other so as to tighten the clamp about the supporting structure (T). The stationary (8) and the movable clamping part (4) each have a clamping face (18, 14), and a spacing between the clamping faces (18, 14) of the stationary clamping part (8) and the movable clamping part (4) is variable so as to adapt the clamp to supporting structures (T) of different thicknesses.
