Abstract
A reservoir assembly for use with a liquid dispenser. The reservoir assembly includes a connecting member housing having a reservoir connecting surface and a switch, wherein the reservoir connecting surface has a first switch contact surface disposed within a first protrusion member. The assembly also includes a container housing that is configured to be removably attached to the connecting member housing. The container housing includes a main container and a connecting member housing surface that includes a second switch contact surface configured in a first weakened region. After contact of the first switch contact surface and the second switch contact surface, the protrusion member is configured to engage the first weakened region such that the first weakened region breaks away from the connecting member housing surface such that first switch contact surface and second switch contact surface are unable to make contact.
