Abstract:
The invention is directed to a touchless soap and water dispenser for a toilet stall. The dispenser provides an internal pair of reservoirs: a refillable water mister reservoir and a refillable or replaceable soap foam reservoir. Two nozzles, one connected to each reservoir, protrude from the bottom surface of the dispenser within a recess. Each nozzle is operated by a touch sensitive button, illuminated with a symbol identifying the contents of the connected reservoir. Only one of the nozzles may be activated at a time; activating one nozzle automatically deactivates the other, with an LED light illuminating the nozzle that is currently activated. Preferably, one or more infrared sensors are provided which detect the approach and stopping of a hand with toilet paper to dispense soap or water. If the hand or other object approaches too closely, a sliding security door is activated which covers the recess to protect the nozzles from vandalism or sabotage. All corners and edges of the cover of the dispenser are rounded, to prevent discomfort or injury to the user in the event of incidental contact.

Claim (Index 1):
A touchless soap and water dispenser for a toilet stall, comprising:\n an internal pair of reservoirs which include a refillable water mister reservoir and a refillable or replaceable soap foam reservoir connected to respective nozzles which extend and protrude from a surface on which the pair of reservoirs are positioned; a cover that includes a front portion and a rear portion that encapsulate the internal pair of reservoirs in a closed position, the cover having an opening through which at least a portion of the surface associated with the pair of reservoirs is exposed and which further exposes the nozzles that protrude from the surface, the opening extending between the front and rear portions of the cover and on a bottom of the cover, and wherein the front and rear portions of the cover open and close by rotating about a hinge; and a sliding door that is attached to the cover and which is positioned adjacent to the surface associated with the reservoirs, the sliding door moves in a back and forth motion that protects or exposes the nozzles depending on the sliding door's positioning.
