Abstract: An exemplary foam dispensing system includes a dispenser housing configured to be mounted below a counter, a spout configured to be mounted above a counter, a container supported by the dispenser housing, a pump in fluid communications with the container and configured to be mounted below a counter. The pump includes an air pump portion and a liquid pump portion. The pump also includes a mixing chamber. Liquid pumped from the liquid pump portion is mixed with air pumped from the air pump portion in the mixing chamber. A dispense tube is included that is configured to extend from the mixing chamber below a countertop to one or more mix media located above the countertop proximate an end of the spout. The one or more mix media are located near an end of the spout. An outlet nozzle is also provided and is located downstream of the one or more mix media.

Abstract: A counter mountable fluid dispenser includes a below deck assembly and an above deck assembly. The below deck assembly includes a reservoir for storing a fluid, a dispensing mechanism in fluid communication with the reservoir, and a controller in circuit communication with the dispensing mechanism for operation of the dispensing mechanism. The above deck assembly includes a spout defining an outlet port in fluid communication with the reservoir for dispensing fluid stored in the reservoir upon operation of the dispensing mechanism, an external supply port in fluid communication with the reservoir by a supply passage to supply fluid to the reservoir, an access door movable between a closed position blocking access to the external supply port and an open position permitting access to the external supply port, and a switch mechanism configured to disable the dispensing mechanism when the access door is in the open position.

Abstract: A counter-mounted dispensing system includes a refill housing mounted above a counter. A refill unit is selectively received in the refill housing in order to deliver a fluid within the refill unit to an end user. The refill unit includes a container holding fluid to be dispensed, and a pump communicating with the fluid in the container. A spout is also mounted above the counter and may be provided as part of the refill housing. An actuation unit having pump actuator mechanisms is mounted at a position below the counter. A passage extends through the counter, and the pump and the pump actuator mechanisms operatively communicate through the passage when the refill unit is installed in the refill housing.

Abstract: A dispenser housing that receives a refill unit including a container and pump associated with the container to pump contents from the container. The dispenser housing includes an actuator carriage moveable between a rest position and an actuated position. The dispenser housing also includes a lockout device moveable between an open position and a closed position. When the lockout device is in the open position, the actuator carriage is movable, and, when the lockout device is in the closed position, movement of the actuator carriage is blocked by the lockout device such that the actuator carriage cannot be moved from the rest position to the actuated position.

Abstract: A dispenser includes a housing and a push bar movable between a rest position and an actuated position. A container is retained in the housing and holds a liquid, and a pump is associated with a liquid. The pump is actuated to dispense a dose of the liquid, when the push bar is moved from its rest position to its actuated position. A dispensing tube includes an inlet associated with the pump, an outlet associated with the push bar, and a bellows portion between the inlet and the outlet. Upon moving the push bar from its rest position to its actuated position, the bellows portion is collapsed from an expanded volume to a compressed volume, and the outlet of the dispensing tube moves with the push bar. Upon return of the push bar from the actuated position to the rest position, the bellows portion expands from the compressed volume to the expanded volume, and draws liquid at the tip of the dispensing tube into the dispensing tube to reduce or eliminate dripping.
