Definitions
- the invention is based, inter alia, on the finding that is it advantageous to provide a solution for equipping existing fluid dispensers, which are operated by an actuation element moveable in a substantially horizontal direction, with a pump system which allows to use these fluid dispensers with a fluid pump, which has an operating element moveable in a substantially vertical direction.
- fluid dispensers which are originally designed for fluid pumps being operable by receiving a substantially horizontal activation movement from the actuation element of the fluid dispenser can be used with fluid pumps being operable by receiving a substantially vertical activation movement.
- the actuation element is biased, via an actuation spring, for example, in the first actuation position and can be operated by a user and/or an electric drive, against the actuation biasing force, into the second actuation position.
- this movement from the first actuation position into the second actuation position is meant to actuate the dispenser to the dispense the fluid.
- the actuation element in particular an actuation lever, can be arranged for automatic operation and/or for manual operation by a user, in particular for being gripped by a user by hand and preferably being pulled towards the user.
- a distance - in particular in a substantially horizontal direction when the fluid dispenser is operably mounted - between the housing base and the actuation element is smaller the first actuation position than in the second actuation position.
- the substantially horizontal movement of the actuation element from the first actuation position to the second actuation position is realized by a pulling action of a user.
- the actuation element preferably is moveable from the second actuation position back into the first actuation position, preferably via the actuation biasing force and preferably without a user's action.
- the adapter in particular the adapter base, can have a longitudinal adapter axis which is substantially parallel to the pump axis.
- an axial and/or vertical extension of the fluid pump particularly from the operating element, preferably a lower surface of the operating element, to the upper end of the fluid pump, substantially corresponds to an axial and/or vertical extension of the adapter, particularly from the engagement element, preferably an upper surface of the engagement element, to the upper end of the adapter, in particular to a first contact area of a support element of the adapter for supporting a fluid container arranged at an upper end of the fluid pump.
- a horizontal distance between the pump axis and the adapter axis is larger than a maximum radius of the fluid pump and/or smaller than a maximum diameter of the fluid pump.
- the pump system described herein has several advantages.
- the adapter and fluid pump of the pump system are adapted to mutually engage and interact in order to operably install and operate a fluid pump, which has an operating element moveable in a substantially vertical direction, in a fluid dispenser, which is operated by an actuation element moveable in a substantially horizontal direction.
- a fluid dispenser which is operated by an actuation element moveable in a substantially horizontal direction.
- a wall-mounted fluid dispenser comprising a housing base for wall mounting the fluid dispenser and a housing cover openable connected to the housing base; an actuation element connected to or part of the housing base; the actuation element being moveable in a substantially horizontal direction from a first actuation position to a second actuation position; and a pump system as described herein.
- a method for modifying a wall-mounted fluid dispenser comprising providing a fluid dispensing system as described herein; removing a first exchangeable fluid pump with a fluid outlet arranged at a lower end of the fluid pump; the first exchangeable fluid pump being operable by receiving a substantially horizontal activation movement from the actuation element from the receptacle; connecting the adapter to the actuation element; installing a second exchangeable fluid pump as described herein.
- the figures generally show the actuation element 200 of the fluid dispenser 2 in the first actuation position, where it is biased by actuation spring 220.
- the actuation element 200 of the embodiment shown is arranged for manual operation by a user.
- a user By gripping the handle portion 210 of the actuation element 200 in the form of an actuation lever, a user can move the actuation element 200 into its second actuation position against the actuation biasing force in the form of actuation spring 220, in particular by pulling the handle portion 210 in a substantially horizontal direction H toward the user and/or away from the housing base. From the second actuation position the actuation element 200 will be biased back to the first actuation position by the actuation biasing force.
- the handle portion 210 protrudes from a housing 100, in particular from below the housing cover 120, when the fluid dispenser is operably mounted on a wall.
- the adapter 500 is connected to the actuation element 200 in a releasable and/or retrofit manner.
- existing fluid dispensers can be equipped with the adapter 500 and the fluid pump 300 of the pump system 1, but the pump system 1 can also be removed again and the fluid dispenser will be available again for use with a different fluid pump, such as a fluid pump 700 being operable by receiving a substantially horizontal activation movement.
- the translation element 530 is arranged moveable relative to the adapter base 510 in a manner allowing rotation and translation relative to the adapter base 510.
- the connection between the translation element 530 and the adapter base 510 allows for rotation about a substantially horizontal axis 533 and a translation in a substantially vertical direction V when the fluid dispenser 2 is operably mounted.
- the support element 550 of the adapter 500 can adapted to accommodate different shapes of lower back parts 420, 420' of containers.
- the support element 550 of the adapter 500 can be exchangeable and/or flexible and/or have different supporting surfaces for different shapes of lower back parts 420, 420'.
