Publication number: 20230249211Abstract: An applicator for dispensing a fluid includes a housing and a pump disposed within the housing. A wand extends in a first direction between a first end and a second end. The wand is rotatably coupled to the housing between an open position and a closed position. A conduit extends from the pump to the first end of the wand such that the fluid flows in the first direction to be dispensed from the second end of the wand. The wand defines an aperture through which the conduit enters the first end of the wand such that the conduit extends in a second direction non-parallel to the first direction to enter the first end. The conduit remains in the aperture regardless of the position of the wand.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Mark E. Rosenkranz, Christopher Mann

Patent number: 9616445Abstract: Embodiments of lost motion foam pumps are disclosed herein. One exemplary embodiment includes a liquid chamber, a liquid piston movable in the liquid chamber, an air chamber and an air piston movable in the air chamber. The air piston is linked to the liquid piston. A connector is linked to the air piston or the liquid piston. The connector includes an engagement member for connecting to an actuator of a foam dispenser. Movement of the actuator in a first direction moves the liquid and air pistons to contract the liquid chamber and the air chamber. Movement of the actuator a first distance in a second direction does not move the liquid piston or the air piston; however, continued movement of the actuator a second distance in the second direction moves the liquid piston and the air piston and expands the liquid and air chambers.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: GOJO Industries, Inc.Inventors: Nick E. Ciavarella, Cory J. Tederous, John J. McNulty, Mark E. Rosenkranz

Patent number: 9089860Abstract: Embodiments of foam dispensers including a housing, an air compressor connected to the housing and an actuator for actuating the air compressor are disclosed herein. The air compressor releasably mates with a refill unit. The dispenser has an “empty state” and a “refilled state.” The empty state occurs when there is not a refill unit positioned in the dispenser, and the refilled state occurs when the refill unit is positioned in the dispenser. The air compressor remains connected to the housing during the refilled state and remains connected to the housing during the empty state. One refill unit for a foam pump dispenser includes a container for containing a foamable liquid and liquid pump housing connected to the container.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: GOJO Industries, Inc.Inventors: Robert L. Quinlan, Mark E. Rosenkranz, Aaron R. Reynolds

Patent number: 8844769Abstract: A dispenser housing has a closure mechanism that serves to hold the dispenser housing closed. A key either can be carried by an individual to be employed to override the closure mechanism to permit the opening of the dispenser or can be selectively mounted to the dispenser housing to position a release mechanism appropriately to permit the release mechanism to be manipulated to override the closure mechanism. When the key is not mounted to the dispenser, the release mechanism cannot be appropriately manipulated to override the closure mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2013Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: GOJO Industries, Inc.Inventors: Mark E Rosenkranz, Robert L Quinlan, Jr., David D Hayes

Patent number: 8783510Abstract: A dispensing system is disclosed which utilizes an electronically powered key device and/or identification code associated with a refill container to preclude the need for mechanical keys. The system utilizes a near field frequency response to determine whether a refill container is compatible with a dispensing system. In particular, the refill container is provided with a coil terminated by one of a number of capacitors. The container is received in a housing that provides a pair of coils that are in a spatial relationship with the installed refill container's coil. By energizing one of the housing's coils, the other coil detects a unique electronic signature generated by the container's coil. If the signature is acceptable, the dispensing system is allowed to dispense a quantity of material. The system also provides a unique latching mechanism to retain the container and ensure positioning of all the coils.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2009Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Inventors: Aaron R. Reynolds, Mark E. Rosenkranz, Paul Waterhouse
