Abstract
The present invention relates to an automatic dispensing system capable of automatically dispensing a controlled and predetermined amount of a wide variety of products without the need for manual manipulation of the dispenser. The dispensing system includes a housing with an internal chassis contained within the housing, where said internal chassis includes a product chamber and a component chamber. The product chamber receives the dispensable product and a solenoid within the component chamber regulates the flow of the dispensable product from the product chamber. A bladder within the product chamber applies constant pressure to the dispensable product where an air pump connected to the bladder supplies air to the bladder.
