    Technical Field
    [001] The disclosure refers to fluid dispensers. FUNDAMENTALS
    [002] Hand washing is important in many activities, including those involving accommodation (hotels, restaurants, etc.) and health (hospitals, nursing homes, etc.). In addition, there are many other applications in which the release of various fluids occurs. To facilitate hand washing, for example, fluid dispensers that provide hand cleaning products can be placed near the sinks in a kitchen or bathroom to wash the hands of employees or customers of an establishment, employees, patients, or visitors to a hospital facility, or other people. These fluid dispensers house a disposable or reusable product container, such as, for example, a flexible cartridge or pouch, containing a supply of the desired fluid product. The fluid can include, for example, foams, liquids, and / or gels. The dispensers are generally mounted on the wall and include a hinged lid that allows opening and closing of the dispenser housing so that the fluid product supply can be refilled or replaced. Some fluid dispensers are manually operated by pressing or pulling on a cable, bar, or button on the dispenser. Others automatically dispense when capturing the presence of a user or the user's hands near the dispenser. SUMMARY
    [003] In general, the disclosure refers to fluid dispensers with adjustable dosage.
    [004] In one example, the disclosure is directed to a dispenser comprising a housing, a container within the housing having a supply of fluid to be dispensed, a release trigger that when triggered by a user causes a quantity of the fluid to be dispensed from the container, an adjustable dosing mechanism body comprising a high dose surface, a small dose surface, an inner edge and an outer edge, the body further including one or more dose adjusting flanges positioned relatively closer together of the small dose surface than of the high dose surface, and the housing further including an adjustable dosing mechanism receiving area positioned within the housing and sized to receive the body of the adjustable dosing mechanism or in a high dose orientation or a small dose orientation, so that when the body of the adjustable dosing mechanism is received within the receiving area of the m adjustable dosing mechanism in the high dose orientation, a relatively larger amount of fluid product is pulled into a pump for later release, and when the body of the adjustable dosing mechanism is received within the receiving area of the adjustable dosing mechanism in the small dose orientation, a relatively smaller amount of fluid product is pulled into the pump for later release.

    [023] Figure 1 is a front perspective view of an exemplary fluid dispenser 100 with adjustable dosage. The exemplary fluid dispenser 100 can dispense any type of fluid, including, but not limited to, hand cleaners, liquid soaps, lotions, gels, foams, shampoos, hand creams, disinfectants, foams, detergents, bleach, agents cleaning products, laundry products, etc.
    [024] The exemplary dispenser 100 includes a housing 110 having a front cover 102 and a bottom plate 104. The bottom plate 104 makes it easy to mount the dispenser 100 on a wall or other object. In this example, the housing 110 includes a hinge or hinges 112 allowing the lid 102 to pivot between a closed position and an open position. A push bar 106 allows a user to manually actuate dispenser 100, causing an amount of fluid to be dispensed as indicated by arrow 108. In other examples, a different type of manual actuator can be used in place of the push bar 106 Alternatively, dispenser 100 may include a sensor that detects the presence of the hands of a user near the dispenser and automatically fires a trigger to dispense an amount of fluid in response to detection.
    [025] In the example of a product dispenser for hands, and soap dispensers are generally placed next to sinks in kitchens, hospital rooms, bathrooms, or other places to facilitate hand washing for employees, members of the public, or other users. Depending on the environment in which the dispenser is being used (for example, a lodging or restaurant location being different from a health care location), the type of fluid being dispensed, and / or the specific requirements of the organization or corporate entity, the desired amount of fluid product to be dispensed may differ. For this purpose, dispenser 100 is provided with an adjustable dosing mechanism that allows the dose to be adjusted to a desired setting.
    [026] Figure 2 is a perspective view of an exemplary dispenser 100 (lid 102 open) and showing an exemplary adjustable dosing mechanism 120 removed from the dispenser for the purposes of the present description. Figure 3 is a perspective view of an exemplary dispenser 100 (lid 102 open) with the adjustable dosing mechanism 120 of Figure 2 installed inside the dispenser. The dispenser 100 includes a driver 160 operatively connected to the push bar 106 (or another manual or automatic release driver). In response to actuation of the push bar 106, the actuator 160 operates by compressing a pump (not shown in Figure 2) as will be described in greater detail below by taking a predetermined amount of fluid to be dispensed from a fluid container (also not shown in Figure 2). In this example, a pump support structure 114 having a pump receiving area 115 and slots 116A and 116B is sized to receive adjustable dosing mechanism 120, as shown in Figure 3.
    [027] Figure 4 is a perspective view of an exemplary adjustable dosing mechanism 120 in a high dose orientation. Figure 5 is a perspective view of an exemplary adjustable dosing mechanism 120 in a small dose orientation. In this example, the exemplary dosing mechanism 120 includes a generally horseshoe-shaped body 126 having a high dose surface 121, a small dose surface 123, an inner edge 125, and an outer edge 127. For the purposes of In the present description, the high dose orientation is defined as having the high dose surface 121 facing upwards, as shown in Figure 4, and the small dose orientation is defined having the small dose surface 123 facing upwards, as shown in Figure 5. However, it will be understood that these definitions are for the purpose of description only, and that disclosure is not limited in this regard.
    [028] The body 126 in this example further includes a pair of dose adjustment flanges 122A and 122B extending inwardly from the inner edge 125 of the body 126. Flanges 122A and 122B are positioned on the inner edge 126 relatively closer of the small dose surface 123 than the high dose surface 121. Thus, in the high dose orientation, flanges 122A and 122B are essentially positioned towards the downward side of the adjustable dosing mechanism 120. In the small dose orientation, flanges 122A and 122B are positioned essentially towards the upward side of the adjustable dosing mechanism 120. Although in this example a pair of dose adjustment flanges is shown, it will be understood that the disclosure is not intended to be limited to this aspect. For example, body 126 may include one or more dose adjustment flanges. With another example, a single dose adjustment flange or rim may extend around the inner edge of the body 126 instead of two separate flanges. In addition, the dose adjustment flange or flanges may extend outwardly from the outer edge 127 instead of extending inwardly from the inner edge 125. Thus, many different examples of the body of the adjustable metering mechanism 126, in addition to the specific examples shown in the Figures, they are considered to be within the scope of the disclosure.
    [029] In this example, the adjustable release mechanism body 126 further includes a tip portion 129 and a pair of laterally separated heel portions 128A and 128B. A dosage indicator mark 124 may be positioned close to one of the heel portions 128A in this example.
    [030] In other examples, the body of the release mechanism 126 does not have to be horseshoe-shaped. For example, the body of the release mechanism 126 may be circular, elliptical, rectangular, square or virtually any other closed regular or irregular shape. In yet other examples, in addition to the approximate horseshoe shape shown in Figures 4 and 5, the body of the release mechanism 126 can take on virtually any other regular or irregular shape with an open side.
    [031] Figure 6 is a front view of an exemplary dispenser with the cover removed and having an adjustable dosing mechanism 120 installed in a high dose orientation. Figure 7 is a front view of an exemplary dispenser with the lid removed and having an adjustable dosing mechanism 120 installed in a small dose orientation. For the purposes of the present description, the dispenser is shown without a pump in Figures 6 and 7. Structure 114 includes a bottom engaging surface 162 to which a lower surface of a pump (not shown in Figures 6 and 7) fits when the dispenser is activated. In the high dose orientation of Figure 6, flanges 122A and 122B are positioned lower with respect to the dispenser than when they are in the small dose orientation of Figure 7. This results in a gap 132 between the lower engaging surface 162 and the bottom of flanges 122A and 122B. In the small dose orientation of Figure 7, flanges 122A and 122B are positioned higher with respect to the dispenser than they are when in the high dose orientation of Figure 6. This results in a gap 134 between the lower engaging surface 162 and the bottom of flanges 122A and 122B. This difference in the distance between the bottom of the flanges 122A and 122B and the lower interlocking surface 162, that is, the difference in the gap size 132 when compared to the gap size 134, explains a change in the amount of fluid released when the adjusted dosage 120 is in the high dose orientation in Figure 6 when compared to the small dose orientation in Figure 7.
    [032] Figures 8 and 9 are front views of an exemplary dispenser with the lid removed and having an adjustable dosing mechanism 120 installed in a high dose orientation. A pump 150 is also shown installed inside the dispenser in Figures 8 and 9. Pump 150 includes a snap ring 156 having an upper surface 152 and a lower surface 154. Pump 150 also includes a nozzle 158 through which a fluid product is dispensed as indicated by arrow 109.
    [033] In some examples, the pump 150 can be implemented using a pump designed to be fully compressed each time the pump is started for optimal performance. As will be explained in more detail below, the dispenser with adjustable dosing mechanism described here allows a pump to be fully compressed in both a high dose and a small dose mode. Therefore, the dispenser with adjustable dosing mechanism described here can be advantageous for designed pumps to be fully compressed for optimal performance. However, it will be understood that other types of pumps, including those that do not necessarily require the pump to be fully compressed, can also be used. Thus, in other examples, pump 150 can be implemented using any other type of pump. It should therefore be understood that different types of pumps can be used, and that disclosure is not limited in this regard.
    [034] In Figure 8, the release driver 160 is in a fully released position, while in Figure 9 the release driver 160 is in a fully engaged position (for example, the release driver is fully compressed). In Figure 8, when the dispenser driver is released (either manually or automatically), the driver 160 moves downwards so that the bottom surfaces of the plug flanges 122A and 122B press down against the top surface 152 of the snap ring 156. When the dispenser is triggered (either manually or automatically), as shown in Figure 9, the trigger 160 moves upwards so that the bottom engaging surface 162 presses up against the bottom surface 154 of the snap ring 156. This drives the pump 150, leading to a relatively higher amount of fluid product dosage to be released as indicated by arrow 109.
    [035] Figures 10 and 11 are front views of an exemplary dispenser with the lid removed and having an adjustable dosing mechanism 120 installed in a small dose orientation. Pump 150 is also shown installed inside the dispenser in Figures 10 and 11. In Figure 10, the release driver 160 is in a fully released position, while in Figure 11 the release driver 160 is in a fully engaged position. (for example, the release driver is fully compressed).
    [036] When the dispenser is activated (either manually or automatically) as shown in Figure 11, the driver 160 moves upwards so that the bottom engaging surface 162 presses up against the bottom surface 154 of the slot 156. This drives the pump 150, resulting in a release of a relatively lower dosage amount of fluid product (compared to the relatively higher dosage dispensed in the high dose mode shown in Figures 8 and 9) as indicated by arrow 111.
    [037] In Figure 10, when the dispenser driver is released (either manually or automatically), the driver 160 moves downwards so that the bottom surfaces of the plug flanges 122A and 122B press down against the top surface 152 of the ring ring 156. However, the upper surface of the ring ring 154 will not come into contact with the flanges 122A and 122B until the travel distance indicated by the gap 134 is crossed. In general, the gap size 134 in the small dose configuration is greater than the gap size 132 in the high dose configuration shown in Figures 8 and 9. The result of the larger gap size 134 in the small dose configuration is that less product fluid is drawn into the pump 150 for the next release cycle in the small dose configuration. In this way, a relatively smaller dosage amount of fluid product is released in the small dose configuration as indicated by the arrow 111. In addition, during each release in the high dose and small dose configuration, actuator 160 is compressed or fitted throughout its extent as defined by the bottom engaging surface 162.
    [038] Because the clearance 134 provided in the small dose orientation is greater than the clearance 132 provided in the high dose orientation, the amount of fluid product pulled into the pump 150 is relatively greater in the high dose orientation of Figures 8 and 9 than in the small dose orientation of Figures 10 and 11. Again, this is due to the fact that the upper surface 152 of the snap ring 156 contacts the flanges 122A and 122B at an earlier point in time during the release of the actuator in the high dose orientation compared to this contact in the small dose orientation, thus causing relatively more fluid product to be drawn into the pump 150 compared to the small dose orientation.
    [039] The size of the clearances 132 and / or 134 can be adjusted to ensure that the desired amount of fluid product is released in the high and / or small dosage guidelines. For example, the high dose orientation can provide a 1.5 milliliter (ml) dose of a liquid, while the small dose orientation can provide a 1.0 milliliter (ml) dose of the liquid. As another example, the high dose guidance can provide a 1.0 milliliter (ml) dose of a foam, while the small dose guidance can provide a 0.7 milliliter (ml) dose of the foam. It will be understood, however, that these absolute and relative dosage amounts are for the purpose of example only, and that disclosure is not limited to that aspect.
    [040] In Figures 8-11, the body of the release mechanism 126 is of the general horseshoe shape shown in greater detail in Figures 4 and 5. However, any open or closed shape can be used instead, and the disclosure it is not limited to that aspect. A release mechanism body having a regular or irregular shape on the open side can allow a pump to be installed in the dispenser from a generally horizontal direction. In the example of a release mechanism body having a regular or irregular closed shape, a pump can be installed in a slightly more vertical direction (for example, from above in the examples shown in Figures 8-11). Thus, while specific examples of a release mechanism body 126 are shown and described here, it will be understood that a release mechanism body of any size or shape capable of providing the adjustable dosage characteristic described here can replace the specific examples presented without there should be a departure from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
    [041] The dispenser with adjustable dosing mechanism described here can provide several advantages. For example, the formats described here do not limit the travel distance of a manual push bar. This can provide a more positive user experience than when the push bar travel distance is limited to provide a lower dose. In another example, the maintenance of the bottom engaging surface 162 in both high and low dose orientations means that pump 150 is fully compressed regardless of the orientation in which the dispenser is placed. This can be an advantage for certain types of pumps that are preferred to be fully compressed each time they are started.
    [042] Maintaining the bottom engaging surface 162 in both high and low dose orientations also leads to a return of the actuator to its lowest position regardless of whether the dispenser is in high or small dose orientation. This, in turn, can assist in aligning the pump and driver regardless of the set dose so that the pump can be removed and reinstalled in the dispenser without the need for difficult manual handling of the dispensing mechanism.
    [043] Figure 12 is an interior perspective view of part of a dispenser 200 and also showing an alternative adjustable dosing mechanism 220. The dispenser 200 includes an adjustable dosing structure 216 having at least two slots 218 sized to receive the adjustable dosing mechanism 220. In this example, frame 216 includes two slots, a high dose slot 218A and a small dose slot 218B. The dispenser 200 further includes a bottom surface of the bottom pump 262. A pump 250 includes a bottom ring 256 having an upper surface 252 and a lower surface 254.
    [044] Figure 13 is a perspective view of the adjustable dose mechanism 220 of Figure 12 installed in a dispenser with a high dose configuration. In other words, in Figure 13, the mechanism is installed in the high dose slot 218A. Figure 14 is a perspective view of the adjustable dosing mechanism 220 installed in a small dose configuration. In other words, in Figure 14, the mechanism 220 is installed in the small dose slot 218B. When in the high dose configuration of Figure 13, a gap 232 is provided between a lower surface of the adjustable dosing mechanism 220 and the lower engaging surface 262. When in the small dose configuration of Figure 14, a gap 234 is provided between a bottom surface of adjustable dosing mechanism 220 and bottom engaging surface 262.
    [045] Similar to that described with respect to Figures 8-11, both in the high dose configuration in Figure 13 and in the small dose configuration in Figure 14, when the dispenser is activated (manually or automatically) the actuator 260 moves in a generally upward direction so that the bottom engaging surface pushes against the bottom surface 254 of the snap ring 256. In the high dose configuration of Figure 13, the gap size 232 is relatively smaller than the gap size 134 in the small dose configuration of Figure 14. The result is that less fluid product will be relatively pulled into the pump 250 in the small dose configuration compared to the amount of fluid product pulled into the pump 250 in the high dose configuration. In this way, a relatively lower dose of fluid product will be dispensed when the adjustable dosing mechanism is positioned in the small dose slot 218B compared to the high dose slot 218A. However, during each release, the actuator 260 is compressed or engaged to its full extent as defined by the lower engaging surface 262 regardless of whether the mechanism 220 is positioned in the low dose or high dose configuration.
    [046] Because the gap 234 provided in the low dose orientation of Figure 14 is greater than the gap 232 provided in the high dose orientation of Figure 13, the amount of fluid product pulled in at pump 250 is relatively greater in the orientation for higher dose than in the small dose orientation. Again, this is due to the fact that the upper surface 252 of the snap ring 256 contacts the lower surface of the mechanism 220 at an earlier point in time during the release of the trigger in the high dose orientation than in the small dose orientation thus leading to a relatively greater amount of fluid being pulled into the pump 250 compared to the small dose orientation.
    [047] Figure 15 is an interior perspective view of another exemplary dispenser 300 having adjustable dosing capacities. In this example, the adjustable dosing mechanism 320 includes a dose indicator marking 322. A dose adjuster receiving structure 314 includes a high dose indicator 330A and a small dose indicator 330B. As shown in Figure 16, the dose indicator marking 322 aligns with the high dose indicator 330A when the dosing mechanism body 320 is received within the receiving area of the adjustable dosing mechanism in the high dose orientation. Likewise, as shown in Figure 17, the dose indicator marking 322 aligns with the small dose indicator 330B when the body of the adjustable dosing mechanism 320 is received within the receiving area of the adjustable dosing mechanism in the dose orientation little. In this way, a user can visually determine whether the body of the adjustable dosing mechanism is installed in the high or low dose orientation. The user can then remove and reinstall the adjustable dosing mechanism body in case it was not initially installed in the desired orientation.
    [048] The examples shown and described here illustrate that the adjustment of a gap, or distance, between a bottom fitting surface of a dispenser and a lower surface of an adjustable dosing mechanism has the effect of adjusting the relative amount of product dispensed . A relatively smaller clearance, or distance, means that a relatively larger amount of product is pulled into the pump to be dispensed later. A relatively greater clearance, or distance, means that a relatively smaller amount of product is pulled into the pump to be dispensed later. Thus, it will be understood that any implementation in which that clearance or distance is adjusted to provide an adjustable dosage dispenser is intended to be within the scope of the present disclosure, and that the specific examples shown and described here are for example purposes only, and that disclosure is not limited to this aspect.
    [049] Furthermore, although the examples shown and described here include high and low dose configurations, it should be understood that other implementations are considered in which three or more dosage options can be provided. For example, in the examples described with respect to Figures 2-11, an additional adjustable dosing mechanism having different thickness or different placement of the flanges can be included to result in three or more clearances of different sizes. As another example, with respect to Figures 12-14, a dispenser may include a frame 216 having three or more slots 218, each providing a different dosage level. Thus, it is intended that many alternatives for dispensers with adjustable dosing mechanisms are included within the scope of this disclosure.
