Abstract: A soap dispenser includes a pump assembly having an outwardly extending reciprocal plunger. A handle assembly is pivotally mounted to the pump assembly and includes an outwardly projecting operating handle. There is a discharge tube in the handle assembly which has an outlet adjacent the end of the handle. A connector is seated on the pump assembly and is attached to the handle assembly. The discharge tube which is attached to the connector, in cooperation with the connector and the pump assembly plunger, provides a soap passage, normally filled with soap, which extends between the pump assembly and the outlet. There is a check valve in the soap passage. Pivotal movement of the handle has the effect of moving the pump assembly plunger in an inward direction resulting in a measured amount of soap being moved through the soap passage and discharged from the outlet.

Abstract: The invention provides a drink machine for preparing and dispensing different hot and cold beverages. It comprises a plurality of beverage powder stock containers, each container being equipped with a feeding worm. Gearing units assigned to each stock container can be selectively coupled via a gearing unit to a common driving motor by actuating an electromagnet to operate the feeding worm of a selected beverage powder stock container. Thus, only one single driving motor is required to selectively operate all driving worms of the stock container. By this design, the feeding worms can easily be operated intermittently such that the overall quality of the prepared beverage is improved.
