Abstract
A device () for selectively dispensing ones of multiple fluids, preferably cleaning agents, is disclosed. The device includes a reservoir () and a container assembly () that can include at least one container body (). The reservoir () houses a diluent 'D,' for example, water, and each container body houses a concentrate 'C,' for example, a concentrated form of a cleaning agent. Each container body has an outlet assembly () with a nozzle (), so that container assemblies () with multiple container bodies correspondingly include multiple nozzles (). The diluent “D” and concentrates “C” are kept separate from each other, whereby ho end use product is stored in the device (). Rather, end use product is mixed on demand during dispensation, as part of the, dispensing act. Namely, diluent “D” is pumped through an outlet assembly (), drawing concentrate “C” thereinto which mixes into the end use product while exiting the device ().
