  • Patent number: 7527174
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser system includes a container that is mounted below a mounting surface for containing a fluid. A base is mounted above the mounting surface, and the base defines an opening configured to allow passage of the fluid when filling the container. A dispenser body is detachably coupled to the base to allow removal of the dispenser for filling the container with the fluid from above the mounting surface. The dispenser body has a moveable handle that is moveable for manually pumping the fluid and a fixed spout that is fixed in position relative to the mounting surface when the fluid is dispensed from the spout.

  • Publication number: 20020071718
    Abstract: A retaining clip for attaching together two conduits comprising a spine member having a first end and a second end, a first set of pincer arms extending from the first end of the spine member, and a second set of pincer arms extending from the second end of the spine member. Once the first conduit is inserted within the second conduit, the first set of pincer arms attaches to the first conduit, and the second set of pincer arms attaches to the second conduit, thereby preventing the first conduit from separating from the second conduit. The retaining clip may be removed to separate the two conduits.
