Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a fluid delivery pod.
  • the dispenser includes a controller mounted within the housing and operably coupled to the actuator, the controller configured to selectively activate the actuator.
  • the dispenser may include a proximity sensor mounted in the housing and configured to detect movement within the gap.
  • the sensor may be a motion detector or other sensor.
  • the proximity sensor is operably coupled to the controller and the controller configured to activate the actuator in response to an output of the proximity sensor.
  • the proximity sensor is mounted within the top portion and the controller is mounted within the base.
  • the dispenser may further include a light emitting device mounted within a portion of the housing, preferably within the top portion. The top portion in such embodiment includes a downward facing translucent panel positioned below the light emitting device.
  • the opening extends in a first direction through the lower surface of the top portion and the pressing member is positionable at a starting position having the cavity positioned between the opening and the pressing member.
  • the actuator is configured to urge the pressing member from the starting position toward the opening along the first direction.
  • the lower surface of the top portion defines an aperture and a lid is hingedly secured to the lower surface and is selectively positionable over the aperture, the opening being defined in the lid.
  • one or more members extend from the cavity to a position offset from the cavity, each member of the one or more members being pivotally mounted to the top portion and including a first arm extending over the pressing member having the pressing member positioned between the first arm and the opening; and a second arm engaging the actuator.
  • a dispenser in various embodiments, includes a housing, an aperture in the housing, a receptacle within the housing, a heating element, and an actuator.
  • the aperture may be a dispensing aperture.
  • the receptacle or cavity is configured and arranged to removably receive a reservoir. When the reservoir is received by the receptacle, an outlet port of the reservoir is exposed through the aperture.
  • the heating element is configured and arranged to energize or heat fluid housed within the reservoir.
  • the actuator When the actuator is actuated, the actuator provides a dispensing force that induces a flow of a predetermined volume of energized fluid within the reservoir through the exposed outlet port of the reservoir. Accordingly, the dispenser dispenses the energized predetermined volume through the aperture.
  • the upper portion 20 may define an opening 186 for receiving the reservoir 26 and include a sloped surface 188 surrounding the opening 186 to guide the reservoir 26 into the opening 186.
  • a seat 190 shaped to engage the shoulder 184 may also be positioned adjacent the opening 186.
  • a dispenser actuator drives a translation of piston 1904 along the translation axis.
  • piston 1904 is driven to decrease an available storage volume in fluid reservoir 1950
  • fluid housed in fluid reservoir 1950 flows out of reservoir 1950 through outlet port 1914.
  • An available storage volume in fluid reservoir 1950 may be based on the cross section of reservoir body 1902 and a distance between piston 1904 and the second end of reservoir body 1902.
  • the second end is a closed end.
  • Various user controls and/or user interfaces are included in dispenser 2100. At least one of the controls may be a touch sensitive control or sensor. Touch sensitive controls may be capacitive touch sensors. Touch sensitive sensors, controls, or components may be housed within dispenser's 2100 housing. The touch sensitive components can sense at least one of a touch, proximity of, or motion of a user's hand through housing. In preferred embodiments, sensing the proximity or motion of a user's hand underneath the dispensing aperture turns on the heating element to prepare the dispenser for use. Once the dispenser has heated the fluid adequately, a second positioning of the user's hand triggers a single dispensing event. For instance, when a user places a hand underneath the dispensing aperture, a proximity sensor may trigger the dispensing mechanism such that a volume of fluid is dispensed onto the user's hand.
  • Figs. 26A-26B provide views of another embodiment of a dispenser 2600 that includes a pivoting fluid reservoir receptacle assembly.
  • Dispenser 2600 includes a housing and an aperture in the housing.
  • the pivoting assembly is included as part of the dispenser housing.
  • the pivoting assembly includes a receptacle, such as fluid reservoir receptacle 2770 of Fig. 27 .
  • the receptacle is configured to removably receive a fluid reservoir, such as fluid reservoir 2650 of Fig. 26B . When the reservoir is received by the receptacle, an outlet port of the reservoir is exposed through the aperture.
  • dispenser 2600 includes an actuator, such as stepper motor 2246 of Fig. 22C .
  • reservoir 3150 is received by dispenser 3100.
  • Reservoir 3150 includes a downwardly angled (when oriented in a vertical position) nozzle 3112.
  • angled nozzle 3112 When received in the upwardly angled dispenser arm 3180, angled nozzle 3112 is oriented substantially vertical. This vertical orientation of nozzle 3112 enables a clear line of sight with the vertical for the dispensed fluid to flow into the hands of a user. The clear line of sight prevents dispensed fluid from contacting surfaces of the dispenser, thus decreasing the need for periodic cleaning of a dispenser's dispensing aperture, such as dispensing aperture 2380 of Figs. 23A-23B .
  • Fig. 30 illustrates the downward translation of a nozzle assembly of reservoir 3050.
  • dispenser 3100 includes one or more circuited boards that are populated with electronic components to control the operation of dispenser 3100. At least one of the circuit boards may be a printed circuit board (PCB).
  • PCB printed circuit board
  • dispenser 3100 includes an upper PCB 3164 that is populated with electronic components to control dispenser's 3100 night light, motion/touch sensors, various LED indicator's, inductive heating coils 3180, user controls, and the like.
  • lower PCB 3162 houses electronics to control actuator 3146.
  • Power cord 3104 provides electric power to upper PCB 3164, lower PCB 3162, actuator 3146, and other electrically driven elements of dispenser 3100. In preferred embodiments, power cord 3104 provides alternating current (AC) electrical power.
