Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention there is provided a dispenser apparatus for dispensing fluids. The dispenser apparatus includes a rotatable table, a plurality of dispensing units. Each dispensing unit has a receptacle for holding a fluid, and each receptacle includes a corresponding pump for dispensing fluid held therein. The dispensing units have a base portion to detachably attach the units to the rotatable table. The dispenser apparatus further includes a stationary dispensing station that has a pump actuator for dispensing fluid held in the receptacle. The apparatus further includes a mechanism for engaging the base portion of a dispensing unit. The mechanism when activated, moves the dispensing units thus rotating the table to align a pump corresponding to a receptacle to the stationary dispensing station, wherein fluid held in the receptacle may be dispensed.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided novel and unique automatic and manual colorant and hair dye dispensers that are easy to operate and provides precision mixing of a large number of colorants and hair dye to make an almost infinite number of colors. The machines are relatively light in weight, easy to operate and maintain and the various components can be readily and easily replaced. In the colorant dispenser this is principally due to the fact that the colorant canisters are supported by a central column and the conventional use of a massive turntable supporting the canisters have been eliminated. In both the automatic and manual illustrated embodiments there is shown six (6) pie-shaped triangular canister units (dispensing units) each including three (3) separate colorant receptacles. There can be more or less dispensing units as desired.
