  • Patent number: 6711934
    Abstract: A system for the operation of a number of commercial washing machines and automatically feeding liquid chemicals to the washing machines. The system has chemical reservoir pods with a pressure sensor and an output valve on each. The chemical pods are supplied with liquid chemical by refill pumps. The quantity of chemical in a chemical pod, and the quantity of chemical dispensed from each chemical pod is calculated from information received by a controller from the pressure sensor to determine when to open and close the valve. A further pressure sensor is provided in the supply pipe to each washing machine to verify and measure flow quantity of water and chemical to the machine.

  • Patent number: 5743442
    Abstract: A liquid dispenser for withdrawing liquids from one or more containers having a mouth and bottom and side walls joined at a juncture comprised of a container support to position the containers with their mouths over the lowermost part of the wall juncture, a probe support spaced above the container support, and a plurality of probes slidably supported on the probe support above the container support, each probe including a lower end with a curved face corresponding to the curvature of the juncture, each probe being moveable between a raised position above the mouth of a container, and a lowered position extending through the mouth of the container and into contact with the lowermost part of the interior of said container at the juncture, and a pump to draw liquid from the container upwardly through the probe.
