Abstract:
1. A dispensing system for dispensing a product, comprising: a) a dispenser including a housing, a push handle, and a pivot point to which said push handle is operatively connected, said housing having a cavity, a first inner surface and a second inner surface, said first inner surface including a first lock-out member and said second inner surface including a second lock-out member; b) a bottle including a first mating lock-out member and a second mating lock-out member, said first mating lock-out member being configured and arranged to mate with said first lock-out member and said second mating lock-out member being configured and arranged to mate with said second lock-out member when said bottle is placed within said cavity of said dispenser; c) an anti-pinch member including a curved surface and a lip proximate a top portion of said curved surface, said curved surface filling a gap between said housing and said push handle when said push handle is compressed, said lip extending outward from said curved surface to close off the gap proximate said top portion of said curved surface; and d) a handle lever assembly including a push bar lever, a motion bar, a rotation lever, and a draw bar, said push bar lever extending relatively upwardly and including a first pivot point proximate a top portion thereof and a first attachment point in a middle portion thereof, said motion bar being operatively connected to said first attachment point and extending relatively horizontally from said push bar lever, said motion bar including a second attachment point in an end opposite said first attachment point, said rotation lever being operatively connected to said second attachment point and extending relatively downward from said motion bar, said rotation lever including a third attachment point in a middle portion thereof and a second pivot point below said third attachment point, and said draw bar being operatively connected to said third attachment point of said rotation lever, wherein when said push bar lever is pushed inward said push bar lever pivots at said first pivot point thereby causing said motion bar to move backward toward a back portion of the dispenser, said rotation lever pivoting at said second pivot point and rotating clockwise thereby causing said draw bar to move backward toward the back portion of the dispenser.
