Abstract: A system and method detect when a product container from which a product is dispensed is empty or nearly empty, and provides a notification of the product status. The system includes a load cell that deflects at a first rate of distance per unit load when a load less than a critical load is positioned to be weighed by the load cell, and a load cell bracket positioned such that the free end of the load cell contacts the load cell bracket when a load substantially equal to or greater than the critical load is positioned to be weighed by the load cell. The load cell bracket may prevent the load cell from further deflection, or it may permit deflection of the load cell at a second rate of distance per unit load when the load cell is in contact with the load cell bracket. The system may generate an out- of -product notification when the amount of product dispensed is substantially equal to zero, a low product notification when the amount of the product remaining is less than a threshold weight or a proof-of-delivery notification.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispensing of a product based on weight as a load cell (22) which supports a structure holding the product (20a) to be dispensed. The weight of the product (20a) that is dispensed is determined by use of a controller (23). A dispenser (200) dispenses an amount of concentrate using a diluent to form a use solution. The dispenser (200) includes a housing (201) having a cavity. A product holder (210) is positioned to support the concentrate in the cavity of the housing (201). A load cell housing (207) is operatively supported by the housing. More than one load cell (240) is positioned in the load cell housing (207). The product holder (210) is supported on the more than one load cell (240), wherein weight of the concentrate is determined. A dispenser (200) dispenses an amount of concentrate in a container (204) using a diluent to form a use solution. A dispenser includes a housing (201). A product holder (2 10) is positioned to support the container (204) with the concentrate in the cavity of the housing. The product holder (210) carried by a scale (240), wherein weight of the concentrate is concerned. A moveable container holder (215) is moveable between a first position and a second position. The container holder is positioned between the housing (201) and the container (204). A cover (216) is operatively connected to the container holder (215) at a connection. A cam surface is adjacent the housing (201). The cover (216) has a cam (216d) for contacting the cam surface (201 a), wherein when the cover (216) is moved from a closed position to an open position, the connection moves upward, thereby carrying the container holder (215) and the container (204) which are moved upward lifting the container (204) off of the product holder (210).

Abstract: La presente descripción está dirigida a un sistema y método detecta cuándo un recipiente de producto desde el cual se surte un producto está vacío o casi vacío, y proporciona una notificación del estado del producto. El sistema incluye una celda de carga que se desvía en una primera cantidad de distancia por unidad de carga cuando se coloca una carga menor que una carga crítica para pesarse por medio de la celda de carga, y una ménsula de celda de carga colocada de tal manera que el extremo libre de la celda de carga está en contacto con la ménsula de celda de carga cuando se coloca una carga sustancialmente igual a o mayor que la carga crítica para pesarse por medio de la celda de carga. La ménsula de celda de carga puede evitar que la celda de carga se desvíe más, o puede permitir la deflexión de la celda de carga en una segunda cantidad de distancia por unidad de carga cuando la celda de carga está en contacto con la ménsula de celda de carga. El sistema puede generar una notificación de producto terminado cuando la cantidad de producto surtido es sustancialmente igual a cero, una notificación de poco producto cuando la cantidad de producto remanente es menor que un peso de umbral o una notificación de prueba de suministro.
