Abstract
A self cleaning liquid soap dispenser which rinses the internal parts of the soap dispenser each time soap is ejected from the nozzle. The dispenser, being adapted to be connected to a pressurized water line comprises: a liquid soap tank containing liquid soap, a piston terminating in a nozzle, a cylinder which slidingly receives the piston, and a valve inside the cylinder, for providing selective communication between the dispenser and the pressurized water line. Whenever the piston will be pressed against the valve, pressurized water from the water line will rush into the piston pushing the soap in the cylinder out through the nozzle. The pressurized water will rinse the valve, the cylinder, the nozzle and the piston.
Claims10
A self cleaning liquid soap dispenser comprising;
- a tank for storing soap, said tank comprising an opening at the top for refilling the tank with soap, and an opening at the bottom which is adapted to a pressurized water line, said tank further comprising a plug adapted to the top;
- a plunger having a bore therethrough, said bore terminating in a nozzle protruding from said plug and out of said container, for ejecting soap from said container when the plunger is depressed;
- a piston means having a bore therethrough mounted on said plunger, the plunger and piston having a continuous passage therethrough designed to permit flow of fluid, said passage having a first valve means for providing selective communication from the tank to the user;
- a cylinder body means having a bore therethrough, said cylinder body means is mounted in the tank for slidingly receiving the piston means such that when the plunger is not pressed soap in the tank fills the cylinder body means and when the plunger is in a first depressed position soap is spat out from the cylinder body means into said passage via the first valve means, the soap being ejected to the user;
- a second valve means mounted in the cylinder body for providing selective communication between the water line and the cylinder body means such that when the plunger is not pressed, the second valve means remains closed so that no water enters into said passage, further, when said plunger is depressed to a second depressed position, the plunger will push said second valve means to open position so that water from the water line will continuously enter into the cylinder body means, pushing the soap in the plunger out to the user as the water is continuously rinsing the piston, the cylinder the passage, and the first and second valve means.
