A touch free dispenser includes a sealed collapsible bottle assembly for containing a dispensable fluid, the assembly including a collapsible container with a depending coupler, a fluid pump disposed within the coupler and a dispensing tip, in fluid communication with the pump and container, for both activating the pump and dispensing the fluid. A support frame is provided for removably receiving the bottle assembly with the container supported on a topside of the frame, the frame having an opening therethrough for enabling the tip to dispense fluid therethrough. A pump actuator, disposed on a bottom side of the frame is provided for engaging the tip in order to actuate the pump. A driver assembly, disposed on the frame bottom side operates the pump actuator in response to the electronic signal, and a controller senses a presence of a user's hand proximate the dispensing tip and provides the electronic signal to the driver.

The container of claim 3, further comprising a keyed extension extending from the closed end of the bore and a mating keyway formed in the plunger, wherein the plunger is properly oriented in the bore so that the legs do not cover the windows and wherein the keyed extension comprises first and second members, the first member longer than the second member. 5. The container of claim 4, further comprising a biasing member positioned between the plunger and the closed end, thereby biasing the plunger in the closed position. 6. A container having a dispensing fitment, for use with a docking station, the docking station receiving and supporting the container and the docking station having a probe to contact the dispensing fitment, the container comprising: a) a container body for holding a viscous liquid product to be dispensed, the container having an outlet; b) a fitment operatively connected in the outlet of the container, the fitment comprising: i) a cylindrical body having an inner wall defining a cylindrical bore having a first closed end and a second open end, the open end proximate the container outlet; ii) an aperture formed in the body, the aperture in fluid communication with the viscous liquid product to be dispensed; iii) a plunger having a cylindrical body slidable within the fitment cylindrical body and moveable between a closed position and dispensing position; and iv) a probe engaging member operatively connected to the cylindrical plunger body, the probe member positioned whereby there is an unobstructed flow path for the viscous liquid from the container, through the aperture and through the bore to the inlet of the reservoir, wherein placing the container on the probe moves the plunger from the closed position to the open position allowing the viscous product to be dispensed through the probe; and c) a biasing member positioned between the plunger and the closed end, thereby biasing the plunger in the closed position. 7. The container of claim 6, the aperture comprises first and second windows generally opposite each other on the cylindrical body and the probe engaging member comprises first and second legs, generally opposite each other and oriented to be positioned between the windows. 8. The container of claim 7, further comprising a keyed extension extending from the closed end of the bore and a mating keyway formed in the plunger, wherein the plunger is properly oriented in the bore so that the legs do not cover the windows and wherein the keyed extension comprises first and second members, the first member longer than the second member. 9. The container of claim 8, further comprising a biasing member positioned between the plunger and the closed end, thereby biasing the plunger in the closed position. 10. A liquid dispensing apparatus, comprising: a) a container for holding a viscous liquid product to be dispensed, the container having an outlet; b) a docking station for receiving the container, the docking station having a support for holding the container; c) a reservoir for receiving the viscous liquid product from the container, the reservoir having an inlet and an outlet; d) a docking cup operatively connected to the docking station, the docking cup having an inlet adapted to receive the outlet of the container and the docking cup having an outlet operatively connected to the inlet of the reservoir, the docking cup having a fitment engagement member; and e) a fitment operatively connected in the outlet of the container, the fitment comprising: i) a body having an inner wall defining a bore having a first closed end and second open end, the open end proximate the container outlet and the first end positioned inward, into the container; ii) an aperture formed in the body, the ap
