The Lotion pump (soap dispenser) was the invention of a grade 8 student in Quebec in 1966 completing a science class experiment about pumps and their practical application in the real world. The original pump was constructed from a ballpoint pen body and some tubing. The student received an A for the project. The drawings for the pump were submitted to a large soap company who took the non patented device as their own. It is now one of the most familiar items we use in our daily lives.
