Abstract:
A pivot-to dispense soap pump includes an actuator that dispenses soap when actuated. The actuator is configured to move downward when actuated by user input. The downward movement may be in either one of a linear movement, maintaining the actuator is a horizontal orientation, or a pivoting movement about a pivot point. The pivot point is located on a distal end of the actuator, which is opposite the nozzle. The pivoting motion allows a user to depress the actuator proximate to the nozzle, thereby allowing the user to dispense soap into the same hand used to actuate the actuator. As a result, efficient, one-handed soap pumping and dispensing is enabled.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of dispensing soap comprising the steps:\n applying a downward force to an actuator in a horizontal orientation, thereby displacing the actuator; displacing a piston through the downward force, thereby actuating a pumping mechanism; drawing soap through a pick-up tube into the actuator and out of a nozzle; and wherein displacing the actuator is accomplished by applying the downward force in a selectable, predetermined location of the actuator, one of which producing a pivoting motion about a pivot point such that the actuator is angularly displaced with respect to the horizontal orientation and another of which produces a downward, linear motion of the actuator while maintaining the horizontal orientation.
