Abstract

Claims (24)

1. A device, comprising:

a housing configured to detachably couple to a surface of a building, the housing including an interior portion therewithin;

a container housed within the interior portion of the housing, the container having a container body defining a reservoir therewithin, the reservoir containing contents therewithin; and

a valve stem fluidly coupled with an aperture of the container,

wherein the device is configured to discharge the contents from within the container to an area exterior to the housing, via an opening in the housing,

wherein the valve stem, the container body, or both, is configured to move between a first position and a second position,

wherein in the first position the reservoir is fluidly isolated from the opening of the housing, and

wherein in the second position the valve stem fluidly couples the reservoir with the opening of the housing.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising an actuator configured to discharge the contents from within the container to the opening of the housing via the aperture of the container.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the actuator is configured to interact with the container mechanically, electrically, or both, to discharge the contents from within the container.

4. The device of claim 2 , further comprising a motor configured to move the actuator to enable mechanical interaction between the actuator and the container.

5. The device of claim 2 , wherein the aperture of the container is aligned with the opening of the housing.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reservoir has a capacity from about 1 ounce (oz) to about 40 oz.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the container further comprises a nozzle extending to the opening of the housing, the nozzle having an outlet opening aligned with the opening of the housing, such that the contents are configured to pass through the nozzle from the reservoir to the opening of the housing.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the aperture is disposed on the container body and spaced from the opening of the housing, such that the nozzle extends substantially between the aperture and the opening of the housing.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the nozzle comprises the aperture.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the outlet opening of the nozzle is the aperture.

11. The device of claim 2 , wherein the valve stem, the container body, or both, moves between the first position and the second position via an interaction between the actuator and the container.

12. The device of claim 2 , wherein the container further comprises a cap mechanically coupled to the container body, the valve stem at least partially disposed within the cap, the container body, or both.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the actuator is configured to move the container body towards the cap so as to move the container body from the first position to the second position, thereby fluidly coupling the reservoir with the opening of the housing.

14. The device of claim 2 , wherein the container further comprises a lever mechanically coupled to the container body, wherein the actuator is configured to move the lever toward the container body so as to move the valve stem from the first position to the second position, thereby fluidly coupling the reservoir with the opening of the housing.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein the container is pressurized.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein a pressure within the container is from about 25 pounds per square inch (PSI) to about 200 PSI.

17. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a pump coupled to the container and configured to dispense contents from the container.
