Abstract

A device for dispensing a liquid may include a basin defining a reservoir, a pump including a barrel and a spring, the barrel coupled to the basin, the barrel defining a cavity, and the spring disposed in the cavity, and an actuator at least partially disposed in the reservoir, the actuator defining a first orifice, a second orifice, and a lumen extending between the first orifice and the second orifice, the reservoir in fluid communication with the lumen via the first orifice, the actuator depressible to move the second orifice in a first direction defined from the reservoir toward the cavity of the barrel, and the spring of the pump biasing the actuator to move in a second direction defined from the cavity of the barrel toward the reservoir.
