1. A dispensing device, comprising:
- an actuating device adapted to actuate first and second containers, respectively; and
a sensor for detecting an environmental condition,wherein in a first period the actuating device is inactive, in a second period the actuating device actuates the first container at a first frequency, and in a third period the actuating device actuates the second container at a second frequency, andwherein, if the sensor has detected the environmental condition, the actuating device actuates the first and/or second containers, respectively, during a fourth period at a third frequency.

Abstract
A dispensing device includes an actuating device that actuates first and second containers, respectively, and a sensor for detecting an environmental condition. In a first period the actuating device is inactive, in a second period the actuating device actuates the first container at a first frequency, and in a third period the actuating device actuates the second container at a second frequency. If the sensor has detected the environmental condition, the actuating device actuates the first and/or second containers, respectively, during a fourth period at a third frequency.

10. A dispensing device, comprising:
-
an actuating device adapted to actuate first and second containers, respectively; and a sensor for detecting an environmental condition, wherein during a first period the actuating device actuates the first container for a first actuation sequence and during a second period the actuating device actuates the second container for a second actuation sequence, and wherein the first and second actuation sequences are performed only if the sensor has detected the environmental condition. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A dispensing device, comprising:
-
a sensor for detecting a condition; and an actuating device adapted to actuate first and second containers, respectively, wherein the actuating device actuates the first and second containers, respectively, during a twenty-four hour period that is divided into consecutive first, second, and third periods, wherein during the first period the actuating device is inactive, during the second period the actuating device actuates the first container, and during the third period the actuating device actuates the second container; and further wherein if the sensor has detected the condition, the actuating device actuates the first and/or second containers, respectively, after a predetermined time period. - View Dependent Claims (20)
