Abstract
The present invention relates to an automatic dispensing system capable of automatically dispensing a controlled and predetermined amount of a wide variety of products without the need for manual manipulation of the dispenser. The dispensing system includes a housing with an internal chassis contained within the housing, where said internal chassis includes a product chamber and a component chamber. The product chamber receives the dispensable product and a solenoid within the component chamber regulates the flow of the dispensable product from the product chamber. A bladder within the product chamber applies constant pressure to the dispensable product where an air pump connected to the bladder supplies air to the bladder.
Claims32
An automatic dispensing system for dispensing a predetermined amount of a dispensable product comprising:
- a housing;
- an internal chassis contained within the housing, where said internal chassis includes a product chamber and a component chamber, where said product chamber receives the dispensable product;
- a solenoid within the component chamber, said solenoid regulating a flow of the dispensable product from the product chamber;
- a bladder within the product chamber, where bladder applies constant pressure to the dispensable product within the product chamber;
- an air pump connected to the bladder where said air pump supplies air to the bladder;
- and
- a power source which supplies power to the solenoid and air pump.
An automatic dispensing system for dispensing a predetermined amount of a dispensable product comprising:
- a housing;
- an internal chassis contained within the housing, where said internal chassis includes a product chamber and a component chamber, where said product chamber includes a product container for receiving the dispensable product, and where the product chamber includes an aperture at a product dispensing end and a removable rubber spout fitted into the product dispensing end and extending through the aperture;
- a solenoid within the component chamber, where the solenoid prevents the flow of dispensable product in a first position and allows the flow of the dispensable product in a second position, where a computer chip controls the movement of the solenoid between the first position and the second position;
- a bladder within the product chamber, where bladder applies constant pressure to the product container within the product chamber;
- an air pump connected to the bladder where said air pump supplies air to the bladder, where an air regulator connects to the air pump and controls the air supply to the bladder;
- and
- a power source which supplies power to the solenoid and air pump.
