An apparatus (10) for dispensing a liquid hand treatment such as soap into a consumer's hand in a public washroom includes first and second containers (20, 22) for storing liquid hand treatment, first and second nozzles (24, 26) and a pumping mechanism (32) for extracting liquid hand treatment from the first and second containers (20, 22) and expelling such liquid hand treatment, respectively, through the first and second nozzles (24, 26). The pumping mechanism (32) preferably includes a first actuator lever (36) for causing the pumping mechanism (32) to pump liquid hand treatment through said first nozzle (24), and a second actuator lever (38) for causing said pumping mechanism (32) to pump liquid hand treatment through said second nozzle (26), said first and second levers (36, 38) being independently operable, whereby liquid hand treatment may be dispensed electively through either container (20, 22). In addition, each actuator lever (36, 38) preferably includes indicia for instructing a consumer how to orient his or her hand when actuating the lever (36, 38), and the nozzle (24, 26) is oriented to deliver liquid hand treatment into the consumer's palm when the lever (24, 26) is actuated and the user's hand is so oriented. Accordingly, the liquid hand treatment will be deposited in the most useful location with a minimum of wastage.

Un dispositif (10) destiné à des toilettes publiques et permettant de distribuer dans les mains d'un consommateur un produit liquide pour mains, tel qu'un savon, comprend un premier et un second réservoir (20, 22) pour stocker le produit liquide, un premier et un second embout (24, 26), et un mécanisme de pompage (32) pour extraire le produit du premier et du second réservoir (20, 22) et le faire passer à travers le premier et le second embout (24, 26). Le mécanisme de pompage (32) comporte de préférence un premier levier d'actionnement (36), grâce auquel le mécanisme de pompage (32) pousse le produit dans ledit premier embout (24), et un second levier d'actionnement (38), grâce auquel le mécanisme de pompage pousse le produit dans ledit second embout (26). Les deux leviers (36, 38) peuvent fonctionner indépendamment, et le produit peut être distribué au choix par l'un ou l'autre réservoir (20, 22). Chaque levier d'actionnement (36, 38) comporte de préférence des renseignements indiquant au consommateur comment il doit orienter sa main quand il actionne le levier (36, 38), et l'embout (24, 26) est orienté de façon à délivrer du produit dans la paume de la main du consommateur quand celui-ci actionne le levier (36, 38) et oriente sa main de la manière indiquée. Ainsi, le produit sera déposé à l'emplacement le plus judicieux avec un minimum de gaspillage.
