Abstract
A product dispenser mounting system includes a dispenser holder body configured to support a product dispenser; and a mounting apparatus configured to fixedly mount on a support object and to removably connect to the dispenser holder body in one or more orientations such that dispenser holder body is maintained in a selected one of the one or more orientations when the dispenser holder body is connected to the mounting apparatus. The system may also include at least one actuation sensor configured to detect actuation of the product dispenser.
Claims19
A product dispenser mounting system comprising:
- a dispenser holder body configured to support a product dispenser, the dispenser holder body including a top portion having first and second arms configured to receive a neck of the product dispenser, wherein the top portion is pivotally connected to a sidewall of the dispenser holder body such that the first and second arms are moveable between a first, lowered position and a second, raised position;
- and
- a mounting apparatus configured to fixedly mount on a support object and to removably connect to the dispenser holder body in multiple orientations such that the dispenser holder body is maintained in a selected one of the multiple orientations when the dispenser holder body is loaded onto an attachment post of the mounting apparatus, wherein the dispenser holder body is configured to rotate relative to the attachment post of the mounting apparatus to orient the dispenser holder body in the selected one of the multiple orientations.
A product dispenser mounting system comprising:
- a dispenser holder body configured to support a product dispenser, the dispenser holder body including a top portion having first and second arms configured to receive a neck of the product dispenser, wherein the top portion is pivotally connected to a sidewall of the dispenser holder body such that the first and second arms are moveable between a first, lowered position and a second, raised position;
- a mounting apparatus configured to fixedly mount on a support object and to removably connect to the dispenser holder body in multiple orientations such that the dispenser holder body is maintained in a selected one of the multiple orientations when the dispenser holder body is loaded onto an attachment post of the mounting apparatus, wherein the dispenser holder body is configured to rotate relative to the attachment post of the mounting apparatus to orient the dispenser holder body in the selected one of the multiple orientations;
- and
- a sensor module comprising:
- at least one actuation sensor configured to detect actuations of the product dispenser;
- and
- one or more processors configured to receive an actuation signal from the at least one actuation sensor and store an electronic record of each of the detected actuations of the product dispenser.
4 more elements
A system comprising:
- a plurality of product dispenser mounting systems, each product dispenser mounting system comprising:
- a dispenser holder body configured to support a product dispenser, the dispenser holder body including a top portion having first and second arms configured to receive a neck of the product dispenser, wherein the top portion is pivotally connected to a sidewall of the dispenser holder body such that the first and second arms are moveable between a first, lowered position and a second, raised position;
- a mounting apparatus configured to fixedly mount on a support object and to removably connect to the dispenser holder body in multiple orientations such that the dispenser holder body is maintained in a selected one of the multiple orientations when the dispenser holder body is loaded onto an attachment post of the mounting apparatus, wherein the dispenser holder body is configured to rotate relative to the attachment post of the mounting apparatus to orient the dispenser holder body in the selected one of the multiple orientations;
- and
- a sensor module comprising:
- at least one actuation sensor configured to detect actuation of the product dispenser;
- and
- one or more processors configured to, in response to
- receiving actuation signals from the at least one actuation sensor, generate dispenser data associated with the detected actuations of the product dispenser;
- and
- a computing device configured to receive the dispenser data generated by one or more of the sensor modules.
