Patent number: 9718069Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a non-aerosol foam pump for use in association with an unpressurized liquid container and a foaming element comprising. The pump includes a liquid pump portion and an air pump portion. The liquid pump portion has a liquid chamber with a liquid internal volume and a shuttle liquid piston. The liquid chamber is in flow communication with the unpressurized liquid container and in flow communication with the foaming element. The air pump portion has an air chamber with an air internal volume. The air chamber is in flow communication with the foaming element. The liquid pump portion and the air pump portion have an activation stroke and a return stroke. During the activation stroke the air internal volume is reduced and during a beginning stage of the stroke the liquid internal volume remains the same and during a later stage the liquid internal volume is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: DEB IP LIMITEDInventors: David Michael Ross Creaghan, Robert Butler, Dean Philip Limbert, Christopher James Lang, Stewart Banks

Patent number: 9159216Abstract: A monitor is located adjacent to a hand hygiene product dispenser and extends a sensor field adjacent to the hand hygiene product dispenser. The sensor senses activity adjacent to the hand hygiene product dispenser in the sensor field. The monitor determines whether sensed activity indicates a use of the hand hygiene product dispenser and reports a use of the dispenser to a monitoring system when a use is determined.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: DEBMED USA LLCInventors: Dean Philip Limbert, Didier Bouton, Paul Samuel Dodds, Christopher James Lang

Patent number: 9073066Abstract: A foam assembly connectable to a liquid container includes a main pump body, a resiliently deformable piston dome, an air chamber, a liquid chamber, a mixing zone and a porous member. The main pump body has an exit nozzle with the porous member therein. The air chamber and the liquid chamber are each defined by the piston dome and the main pump body. The liquid chamber has a liquid inlet valve and a liquid outlet valve. The mixing zone is in flow communication with the air chamber and the liquid chamber. The volume of the air chamber and the liquid chamber are each dependent on the position of piston dome and during an activation stroke the piston moves from the at rest position to the depressed position and responsively the volume of the air chamber and the volume of the liquid chamber are reduced.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2013Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: PIBED LIMITEDInventors: Stewart Banks, Christopher James Lang, Dean Philip Limbert, David Michael Ross Creaghan

Publication number: 20140263463Abstract: A foaming assembly includes a porous foaming element, a liquid chamber and an air chamber. The porous foaming element has an air inlet, a liquid inlet and an outlet. The porous foaming element has at least two zones of different pore sizes. The liquid chamber is in flow communication with the porous foaming element. The liquid chamber has a volume that is movable between an at rest position to an activation position. The air chamber is in flow communication with the porous foaming element. The air chamber has a volume that is movable between an at rest position to an activation position. Liquid and air are forced into the porous foaming element under pressure wherein they mix to form foam which exits through the outlet. A dispenser may include a foaming assembly and a liquid container.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Stewart BANKS, Christopher James LANG, Dean Philip LIMBERT
