Exemplary embodiments of dispensers and refill units are disclosed herein. An exemplary refill unit for a soap, sanitizer or lotion includes a non-collapsing container. The non-collapsing container includes a neck. An annular projection is located at least partially on the neck. A one-way valve is located proximate the annular projection. The one-way valve allows air to flow into the non-collapsing container once the vacuum pressure in the container reaches the cracking pressure of the one-way valve and the one-way valve prevents liquid from flowing out of the annular projection. In addition, a pump for pumping the contents of the container out of the container is also included.

Vented non-collapsing containers, dispensers and refill units having vented non-collapsing containers

Vented check valves, pumps and refill units for dispensers are disclosed herein. Some embodiments disclose a refill unit including a container for holding a liquid. A pump chamber is secured to the container. The pump chamber is defined at least in part by a one-way liquid inlet check valve, a one-way liquid outlet check valve and at least one wall. The volume of the pump chamber is movable between a first volume and a second volume. The inlet check valve includes a venting recess. The venting recess allows air to flow past the inlet check valve in the opposite direction of the flow of liquid into the liquid chamber.

A media storage container has a latch that is movable between latched, unlatched, and storage positions. The latch is disposed at the indented portion of the front wall of the container. A latch retaining device releasably secures the latch in the storage position. A portion of the latch retaining device is disposed inwardly of the front wall of the container.

Media storage container with storable latch

The present invention provides a media storage case that is configured to resiliently hold up to six media discs on a single hub. In one construction, a first panel and a second panel are joined by a hinge and configured to securely hold up to six media discs on a common hub through transit and distribution, using a cantilevered disc retention finger and/or a spine disc retention fin. The media storage case can hold multiple media discs and accompanying literature, while having a minimized case thickness.

A lockable storage container includes a lock that is movable from a locked position to an unlocked position while the lock is carried by the container. An indicator is used to indicate the status of the lock to the user. The lock is held in the unlocked position so that it cannot accidentally move back into the locked position. A magnetic key is used to unlock the lock and move the lock slide to the unlocked position.

Hub for holding media disc

A lockable media storage container includes a lock disposed within the lock reception cavity defined by the container. The lock may be moved from a locked position to an unlocked position while remaining disposed within the lock reception cavity. In one embodiment, the lock locks itself in the unlocked position so that it cannot accidently move back into the locked position. The lock includes a plurality of lock hooks extending from a common lock frame. A lock finger also extends from the common lock frame. The lock finger holds the lock in the locked position. A magnetic key is used to unlock the lock and move the lock slide to the unlocked position.
