Counter Top Foaming Soap Dispenser

By Kutol

EZ Foam® Counter Mount features an innovative system that refills from ABOVE the counter using a patented refill "dock" and resealable refill bags.  Simply remove the pump head, insert and turn the refill bag to open and let the soap flow into the sealed reservoir.  You can fill one dispenser or "top off" many.  the sealed system keeps air and water out to eliminate the risk of contamination.  No messy spills or leaks. No crawling under the counter to refill. No waste from partially filled cartridges. Patent: US7753087B2

Often the most efficient form of planning an assembly can begin with sketching. This section view was drawn on several layers of marker paper allowing me to 'explode' the assembly as I work - the inspiration for this method comes from a hand-drawn animation course I took in college.

Quickly Testing a Theory
Quickly Testing a Theory

We were trying to develop a closed filling system to prevent DIY filling of the reservoir.  Here I made a very quick and simple jig out of RenShape to test the idea.

The next step was to develop SLA parts to validate the geometry and communicate the results to our client.

We worked closely with the Client's preferred molder, and provided options for the best geometry to accomplish our functional goals while simplifying the molding condition as much as possibe.

The development of this product required detailed drawing specifications and tracking of revisions as we dialed in the twist-lock-and-seal geometry.
