Abstract: A bottle assembly for a battery powered dispenser includes a container for storing a dispensable fluid, a pump fixed to the container for releasing metered amounts of fluid from the container in response to a battery operated actuator disposed in the dispenser. A battery carrier, fixed to the container, provides power to the actuator. A base is provided for supporting the container and the battery carrier and enabling collapse of the container without interference with the battery carrier. A size and number of batteries are calibrated to provide an adequate power supply for the dispenser to dispense all of the fluids stored in the container.

Abstract: A touch free dispenser includes a sealed collapsible bottle assembly for containing a dispensable fluid, the assembly including a collapsible container with a depending coupler, a fluid pump disposed within the coupler and a dispensing tip, in fluid communication with the pump and container, for both activating the pump and dispensing the fluid. A support frame is provided for removably receiving the bottle assembly with the container supported on a topside of the frame, the frame having an opening therethrough for enabling the tip to dispense fluid therethrough. A pump actuator, disposed on a bottom side of the frame is provided for engaging the tip in order to actuate the pump. A driver assembly, disposed on the frame bottom side operates the pump actuator in response to the electronic signal, and a controller senses a presence of a user's hand proximate the dispensing tip and provides the electronic signal to the driver.

Abstract: Apparatus for instilling a medicament into an eye includes a housing, a reservoir, disposed in the housing and movable therein along a longitudinal axis, for containing a medicament and a nozzle disposed for instilling a dose of the medicament into an eye. An actuator is disposed between the reservoir and the nozzle for metering doses of medicament from the reservoir to the nozzle and forcing each metered dose through said nozzle upon acceleration of said actuator. A spring causes longitudinal displacement of the reservoir toward a housing rear upon release of the spring from a compressed state and a depressible button disposed at the housing rear that moves the reservoir in a forward direction toward a housing front to cause compression of said spring. A trigger, disposed in the housing releases the compressed spring and causes rearward movement of the reservoir.

Abstract: Apparatus for operating eye drop dispenser is provided which includes a four bar link system in order to enable cocking firing and resetting of an actuator for dispensing eye drops upon a single button depression by a patient.

Abstract: Apparatus for instilling a medicament into an eye includes a rigid housing for containing a reservoir of medicament and a nozzle for instilling a dose of the medicament into an eye. A displacement pump, sealing a front end of the rigid housing and in fluid communication with the reservoir, provides for metering doses of medicament from the reservoir to the nozzle and for forcing each metered dose through the nozzle. A stopper, slidably disposed within a rear end of the rigid housing, provides for gradually decreasing the housing volume containing the medicament reservoir. A diaphragm provides for accommodating transient decreases in the volume containing the medicament reservoir during metering of doses therefrom by the displacement pump.

Abstract: A temperature and pressure fluid control apparatus that may be nondestructively retrofitted to existing supply fixtures. The apparatus has a housing with at least one electromechanical valve actuator including a coupling that may be operatively connected to the valve stem of the supply fixture. The valve may then be driven with the actuator in accordance with the actual and the desired temperature and pressure. The housing and the coupling are spatially arranged so that the coupling will engage the existing supply valve when the housing is surface mounted on the wall or countertop so as to surround the supply valve.

Abstract: A water delivery control system that may be retrofitted to an existing water delivery fixture by simply removing the existing valve handles and then mounting the control system over the existing valve stems. The control system includes an external housing, a control panel on which an operator may select a desired temperature and pressure, and a valve actuator assembly including at least one electromechanical valve actuator and valve actuator linkage for coupling the valve actuator to an existing valve stem. The spatial arrangement of the valve actuator assembly is such that the valve actuator linkage will couple with an existing valve stem when the control system is surface mounted on the wall or countertop that surrounds the existing water delivery fixture.
