The lever member and/or the actuator are configured to provide at least two contact points between the actuator and the second lever section during the course of a dispensing stroke such that the mechanical advantage provided at a first one of the at least two contact points is greater than the mechanical advantage provided at a second one of the at least two contact points. | 08-21-2014 |
20140231460 | FOCUSING LOCATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL ADDITIVES IN FLUID DISPENSERS - A fluid dispenser includes focused location of antimicrobial resins to one or more high touch surfaces of the dispenser. In one example, an antimicrobial resin is incorporated into a first contact receiving surface, such as a push bar of a manually operated hand soap dispenser. In another example, an antimicrobial additive is incorporated in a second contact receiving surface, such as a cover release mechanism of a hand soap dispenser. In another example, an antimicrobial additive is incorporated into one or more high touch points on the dispenser. | 08-21-2014 |
20150034677 | Dispenser Shroud - A shroud cover for a dispenser comprising in a first aspect a flexible sheet disposed about an open framework. Preferably, the flexible sheet is resiliently stretchable and stretched over the frame work. | 02-05-2015 |
20150076175 | Mountable Thermos - Described is a mountable thermos adapted to be secured to a tree or other vertical support surface. The thermos includes a container having a bottom end, sidewalls, and an open upper end having a removable lid thereon. The sidewall of the container includes a spout that allows a user to easily dispense the substance held within the container. The container further includes a handle to allow a user to grasp the thermos, and a mounting attachment that can be removably engaged with a fastener that can be inserted into a tree or other surface. The container may further include a tray assembly on the bottom end thereof, wherein the tray assembly can be extended so as to support a cup below the spout. Further, a cup can be removably secured on the upper end of the container in an upside-down configuration for storage and travel. | 03-19-2015 |
20150144660 | TAMPER-PROOF AND LIGATION RESISTANT DISPENSER FOR LIQUIDS - A tamper-proof and ligation-resistant apparatus for dispensing a liquid from a liquid container contained within a dispenser. The apparatus includes a back housing, a cover pivotally coupled to the back housing, a liquid cartridge coupled to the back housing, and an actuator coupled to the cover. The apparatus includes plates coupled to the cover and back housing to strength the apparatus or reduce gaps to prevent ligation. The actuator includes a dispensing hole small enough to prevent ligation. A pump nozzle insert compressibly fitted inside the pump nozzle reduces the liquid stream diameter and extends the pump nozzle so that the liquid stream passes through the dispensing hole unimpeded. | 05-28-2015 |
