Abstract
With soap and cleansing foam dispensers, there is a risk that they may be equipped with supply containers of unsuitable liquid or that their intermediate containers may become contaminated. According to the invention, an adapter ( ) that is mounted on an intermediate container ( ) has a coded cylindrical jacket ( ), into which coded parts ( ) that are positioned on the neck of a suitable supply container ( ) can be fitted. To prevent the contamination of the intermediate container ( ), the latter has a spring-loaded internal sealing plug ( ) which ensures the hygienic sealing of the container even prior to use and when the supply container is changed. To prevent interruptions in the operation, a reliable fill-level indicator ( ) is provided. The device thus ensures improved, hygienic dispensing of soap-solution in dispensers ( ).
