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.

1. An automatic dispensing system for dispensing a predetermined amount of a dispensable product comprising:a housing;an internal chassis contained within the housing, where said internal chassis includes a product chamber and a component chamber, where said product chamber receives the dispensable product;a solenoid within the component chamber, said solenoid regulating a flow of the dispensable product from the product chamber;a bladder within the product chamber, where bladder applies constant pressure to the dispensable product within the product chamber;an air pump connected to the bladder where said air pump supplies air to the bladder; anda power source which supplies power to the solenoid and air pump. 2. The automatic dispensing system of claim 1, where an air regulator is connected between the bladder and air pump. 3. The automatic dispensing system of claim 2, where a computer chip controls the air regulator and solenoid. 4. The automatic dispensing system of claim 2, where an air tube connects the air regulator to the bladder. 5. The automatic dispensing system of claim 1, where the solenoid prevents the flow of dispensable product in a first position and allows the flow of dispensable product in a second position. 6. The automatic dispensing system of claim 5, where the solenoid is activated into the second position in response to a sensor, when the sensor detects the presence of a receptacle for the dispensing product. 7. The automatic dispensing system of claim 6, where the sensor is an infrared sensor. 8. The automatic dispensing system of claim 5, where the solenoid is activated into the second position in response to a switch. 9. The automatic dispensing system of claim 6, where the solenoid remains in the second position for a predetermined time period. 10. The automatic dispensing system of claim 9, where the solenoid returns to the first position after expiration of the predetermined time period. 11. The automatic dispensing system of claim 9, where the predetermined time period is set by a user. 12. The automatic dispensing system of claim 11, where the user uses a dial to set the predetermined time period, where the dial is attached to the exterior of the housing. 13. The automatic dispensing system of claim 8, where the solenoid remains in the second position for a predetermined time period. 14. The automatic dispensing system of claim 13, where the solenoid returns to the first position after expiration of the predetermined time period. 15. The automatic dispensing system of claim 14, where the predetermined time period is set by a user. 16. The automatic dispensing system of claim 15, where the user uses a dial to set the predetermined time period, where the dial is attached to the exterior of the housing. 17. The automatic dispensing system of claim 4, where the bladder surrounds the dispensable product. 18. The automatic dispensing system of claim 17, where the bladder fits along the edges of the product chamber and leaves a hollow center for placement of the dispensable product, and wherein the bladder includes an inflating spout which extends into the component chamber and attaches to the air tube. 19. The automatic dispensing system of claim 2, where the air regulator ensures a constant supply of air flow to the air bladder in order to achieve an operating air pressure. 20. The automatic dispensing system of claim 19, where the air pressure increases in proportion to the amount of product dispensed. 21. The automatic dispensing system of claim 1, where the housing includes a front cover, a back cover and a hinged top cover. 22. The automatic dispensing system of claim 1, where a removable drip tray attaches to a product dispensing end of the product chamber. 23. The automatic dispensing system of claim 3, where the bladder deflates upon reaching a predetermined pressure and allows for the removal of a container of the dispensable product. 24. The automatic dispensing system of claim 21, where th e bladder deflates upon the removal of the hinged top cover. 25. The automatic dispensing system of claim 24, where the air flow from the air pump to the bladder is activated upon closure of the hinged top cover. 26. The automatic dispensing system of claim 1, where the power source includes at least one of an AC power source and a DC power source. 27. The automatic dispensing system of claim 1, where the product chamber includes an aperture at a product dispensing end and a removable rubber spout fitted into the product dispensing end and extending through the aperture. 28. An automatic dispensing system for dispensing a predetermined amount of a dispensable product comprising:a housing;an internal chassis contained within the housing, where said internal chassis includes a product chamber and a component chamber, where said product chamber includes a product container for receiving the dispensable product, and where the product chamber includes an aperture at a product dispensing end and a removable rubber spout fitted into the product dispensing end and extending through the aperture;a solenoid within the component chamber, where the solenoid prevents the flow of dispensable product in a first position and allows the flow of the dispensable product in a second position, where a computer chip controls the movement of the solenoid between the first position and the second position;a bladder within the product chamber, where bladder applies constant pressure to the product container within the product chamber;an air pump connected to the bladder where said air pump supplies air to the bladder, where an air regulator connects to the air pump and controls the air supply to the bladder; anda power source which supplies power to the solenoid and air pump. 29. The automatic dispensing system of claim 28, where the product container is at least one of a bag and a tube. 30. The automatic dispensing system of claim 28, where the product container includes a sealable opening end and a nozzle end where the nozzle end fits securely into the rubber spout. 31. The automatic dispensing system of claim 30, where the solenoid applies pressure to the rubber spout while in the first position and releases the applied pressure while in the second position. 32. The automatic dispensing system of claim 31, where the solenoid remains in the second position for a predetermined period of time.
