Claim Text:
1. A chemical dispensing assembly, comprising: a manifold assembly defined by a plurality of injector assemblies, the manifold assembly having a motive fluid inlet supplying a motive fluid to an inlet line, each injector assembly including an inlet valve assembly and a venturi injector assembly; a plurality of locking assemblies, each locking assembly including an engagement head and a rotatable handle, wherein the engagement head is fluidly coupled to a concentrate supply line and a concentrate tube; and a plurality of concentrate containers, each concentrate container having a container mouth adapted for engagement by the engagement head such that the concentrate tube is retained within the concentrate container, wherein each engagement head of the locking assemblies includes a head protrusion residing within a non-linear track of the rotatable handle of a respective locking assembly such that rotating the rotatable handle causes the engagement head to move non-rotatably vertically from a disengaged position to an engaged position thereby selectively disengaging or engaging the container mouth, wherein, upon engagement of the container mouth with the engagement head, selective actuation of each inlet valve assembly directs flow of the motive fluid to each corresponding venturi injector assembly such that a concentrated chemical within the corresponding concentrate container is conveyed through the corresponding concentrate tube and into the corresponding concentrate supply line, and wherein the concentrated chemical is introduced into the motive fluid within the venturi assembly such that a mixed solution is dispensed through a solution outlet line on the venturi injector assembly.
