Programmable Locking Dispenser and Method Of Use

摘要

A programmable locking dispenser is provided. The programmable locking dispenser includes a reservoir configured to store material and release the material upon demand. A pump/valve mechanism is configured for fluid connection with the reservoir. An output structure is configured for fluid connection with the pump/valve mechanism. A controller is configured to generate and send dispensing signals to the pump/valve mechanism. The controller is further configured to store lock and unlock codes. A sensing mechanism is configured to generate activation signals upon an occurrence of an activating event and further configured to convey the activation signals to the controller. An input device is configured to receive programming signals and convey the programming signals to the controller. The controller is further configured to selectively lock and unlock the dispenser such that in a locked mode, the dispenser is disabled from use and in a locked mode, the dispenser is enabled for use.
