Manual fluid dispenser with fuel cell electrical generator

A manually operated hand cleaning dispensing apparatus comprising:

• a hand cleaning fluid containing reservoir,
• a dispensing mechanism which on activation causes the fluid to be discharged from the reservoir out a dispensing outlet,
• an activation mechanism for activation of the dispensing mechanism by the engagement by a user moving the activation-mechanism,
• the dispensing mechanism comprising a fluid piston pump with a piston slidably received coaxially in a piston chamber member for reciprocal sliding between a retracted position and an extended position to dispense fluid from the reservoir to out a discharge outlet onto a user's hand,
• the activation mechanism comprises a lever pivotable about a pivot axis between different positions relative the pivot axis, the lever having an engagement portion spaced from said pivot axis for engagement by a user to pivot the lever about the pivot axis, the piston coupled to the lever for sliding of the piston in the piston chamber member with pivoting of the lever,
• an electrical generator for generating electric energy comprising an electrochemical fuel cell,
• the fuel cell comprising as an electrolyte the fluid and two electrodes namely, an anode and a cathode, separated from each other with the electrolyte between the electrodes, fuel for the cell comprising the fluid in communication with a first of the electrodes atmospheric air containing oxygen is in communication with a second of the electrodes, wherein with chemical conversion of the fluid at the first electrode to provide electrical current flow oxygen is consumed at the second electrode where water is produced,
• wherein by manual movement of the engagement portion of the lever by a user the piston is moved relative the piston chamber member to transfer fluid from the reservoir through the fuel cell and then out the discharge outlet.
