Soap dispenser spout

Exemplary embodiments of tabletop dispensers are disclosed herein. An exemplary tabletop dispenser for dispensing soap, sanitizer or lotion includes a bottle. The bottle has a neck that has a neck diameter. A pump assembly having a cylindrical housing is also included. The cylindrical has a cylindrical housing diameter that is less than the neck diameter. A controller board, a battery, a motor and a pump are at least partially located within the cylindrical housing. The pump assembly is configured to be located within the neck and the bottle. A sensor for sensing an object and an outlet nozzle are also included.

Touch-free tabletop dispensers

A non-antimicrobial cleansing composition is disclosed comprising from about 10.0 wt. % to less than about 40 wt. % of one or more C-Calcohols; about 0.5 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one primary surfactant; 0 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one secondary surfactant, with the primary and secondary surfactants having an HLB value greater than 8; a pH adjusting agent; and water. The composition does not achieve a microbial kill level greater than 2.0 log.

Alcohol containing non-antimicrobial cleansing composition

A fluid dispenser includes a housing, a pump, an outlet nozzle, a reservoir, a liquid passage, an air passage, and a refill container. The pump and reservoir are attached to the housing, and both the outlet nozzle and the reservoir are in fluid communication with the pump. The reservoir has at least one engagement member, and the liquid passage and the air passage are located in the engagement member. The refill container has at least one sealing member, and the refill container is configured to be releasably attached to the reservoir such that the refill container is in fluid communication with the reservoir. When the refill container is attached to the reservoir, the engagement member engages the sealing member to cause the liquid passage and the air passage to be in fluid communication with the refill container.

Refillable dispenser having reservoirs and refill containers configured for fluid and air transfer therebetween

A dispenser includes a housing, an inverted container disposed in the housing, a outlet nozzle, a pump, a first check valve, and a second check valve. The pump is disposed between the container and the outlet nozzle. The pump includes a pump inlet a pump outlet, and a pump chamber. The pump chamber is movable between an expanded position and a compressed position. The first check valve is disposed between the pump and the outlet nozzle, and the first check valve has a first cracking pressure. The second check valve is disposed between the first check valve and the outlet nozzle, and the second check valve has a second cracking pressure. The second cracking pressure of the second check valve is greater than the first cracking pressure of the first check valve.

Outlet valve arrangements for enhanced pump efficiency

Exemplary soap, sanitizer and lotion dispensers are disclosed herein. An exemplary dispenser includes a housing; a receptacle for receiving a container; a container of fluid comprising soap, sanitizer or lotion; a pump in fluid communication with the container; a power source; a pump coupled to a motor and pulse width modulation circuitry in circuit communication with the power source and the motor. The pulse width modulation circuitry is initially set to cause a selected dose of fluid to be dispensed at a base speed. A sensor for detecting a parameter indicative of an actual speed of a dispense of the fluid is also included. When the actual speed of the dispense of fluid is less than the base speed or greater than the base speed, the pulse width modulation circuitry adjusts the pulse width to cause the speed of a following dispense of fluid to be closer to the base speed.

Touch-free dispensers

Exemplary embodiments of pumps having positive pressure venting and refill units are disclosed herein. An exemplary pump includes a liquid pump chamber, a liquid piston, a first air pump chamber, and a first air piston and a mixing area in fluid communication with the liquid pump chamber and the first air pump chamber. The exemplary pump further includes a second air pump chamber and a second air pump piston. The second air pump chamber is configured for pumping air into a container and the first air piston and the second air piston move in unison.

Pumps with positive pressure venting, refill units and dispensers

Exemplary embodiments of cleaning buckets are shown and described herein. An exemplary cleaning bucket includes a housing that has a cleaning solution reservoir, a dirty water reservoir and an insert for inserting into the housing. The housing has a first surface. The first surface covers the cleaning solution reservoir. The first surface is configured to allow water to flow into the dirty water reservoir through one or more openings allowing fluid to flow into the dirty water reservoir. The insert further includes a cleaning solution dispensing member located on the first surface, a pump for drawing cleaning solution out of the cleaning solution reservoir; and an activation device for causing the pump to pump fluid from the cleaning solution reservoir to the cleaning solution dispensing member.

Cleaning apparatuses and devices for applying cleaning fluid to substrates

Exemplary embodiments wet-on-demand dispensers are disclosed herein. An exemplary dispenser for dispensing wet-on-demand substrates includes a housing, a container for holding a fluid, one or more wetting tips in fluid communication with the container. Each of the one or more wetting tips has a movable valve member. The exemplary dispenser further includes a holder for holding a roll of substrate and the movable valve members are moved as a function of contact with the substrate.

Dispensers for wet-on-demand substrates

A low-water cleansing composition is provided that includes 5.0 wt. % to less than 40 wt. % of one or more C-Calcohol, at least 10.0 wt. % of a mixture of two or more surfactants, at least 0.05 wt. % of a pH adjuster; and water, the concentrations being based on a total weight of the low-water cleansing composition.
