  • Bulk refill protection sensor for dispensing system
    Patent number: 12048400
    Abstract: An exemplary dispensing system includes a dispenser, an actuator, a sensor, and a controller. The dispenser includes a container for holding liquid, a liquid pump, an air pump, an outlet nozzle, and a foaming media. The actuator causes the dispenser to dispense liquid or foam. The sensor generates an input signal indicative of a status of the container. The controller receives the input signal, generates at least one output signal, and prevents the dispenser from dispensing liquid or foam if a breach is detected in the container.
    Type: Grant

  • Valve and pressure regulator biasing assemblies
    Publication number: 20050252555
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention relates to self-contained biasing assemblies for use with fluid flow devices or assemblies, such as valve and pressure regulator assemblies. A self-contained biasing assembly of a fluid flow assembly can be readily changed without requiring substantial disassembly of the fluid flow assembly. The biasing force applied to components within the fluid flow assembly can be changed by changing the biasing assembly.
