A dispensing apparatus is disclosed. The dispensing apparatus has application in providing a portable readily accessible supply of hand sanitizer. The dispensing apparatus includes an engagement interface. Upon operating the engagement interface, a fluid such as hand sanitizer is released from an outlet. The dispensing apparatus contains a replaceable cartridge that can be filled with a fluid. The replaceable cartridges have a seal that is pierced by a spur in the dispensing apparatus. The dispensing apparatus also has a clip that is operable to affix the dispensing apparatus to an item of clothing. The clip can be locked in an open position by a detent to stand the dispensing apparatus on a surface.

A wearable dispensing device includes a pouch made of a flexible material and having opposed first and second walls defining an interior configured for containing a fluid therein, the pouch further including an outlet port in fluid communication with the interior. A support has a first portion attached to the pouch and a second portion contiguous with the first portion, with the second portion being configured for attachment of the pouch to an outer surface of a human wearer. A dispensing tube has a first end in fluid communication with the outlet port and a second end configured for fluid dispensing. A kit for assembling the wearable dispensing device and a method of operating the wearable dispensing device are also disclosed.

Portable fluid dispensing apparatuses are disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes an upper assembly and a lower assembly. The lower assembly includes a base shell and a lid removably coupled to the base shell. The upper assembly includes an upper shell attached to the lid and having a first aperture. The upper assembly additionally includes a fluid dispenser attached to a neck portion of the lid and received. The fluid dispenser includes an actuator nozzle, a first tube received in a first internal compartment of the base shell, a pump disposed between the nozzle and the first tube. The upper assembly further includes a pump control member having a second tube connected to the nozzle. The pump control member is sized to allow movement of the pump control member and the nozzle toward the pump to activate the pump and dispense fluid stored in the first internal compartment.

The invention describes a method for manufacturing a portable fluid dispensing device that comprises a hand-held applicator that includes a pocket that is configured to receive one hand of a user. The pocket partitions the hand-held applicator into a rear portion and a front portion.

A deformable sleeve (100) is provided configured to at least partially encase a bottle from which a liquid is dispensable upon pressing the sleeve (100), the sleeve (100) comprising a first sensor (7) configured to measure a force applied onto the sleeve (100) and a second sensor (8) configured to measure a permittivity of a content encased by the sleeve (100). In addition, a measurement unit (300) is provided configured to be mounted on the sleeve (100), the measurement unit (300) comprising a processing unit (37) configured to determine at least one parameter associated with the bottle based on at least one of a signal of the first sensor (7) and a signal of the second sensor (8). A corresponding method of retrievably storing the at least one parameter is also provided.

A dispensing device includes first and second cylindrical portions which are detachably interconnected end-to-end. The first portion is arranged to store consumables, such as bags, for collecting pet faeces and includes a tubular side-wall 110 having an aperture formed therein through which the consumables can be dispensed. The second portion is arranged to store a fluid such as a hand sanitizer and has an outlet at one end through which the fluid can be dispensed. The dispensing device provides a convenient manner for storing consumables and associated fluids together, so that, for example, a user can sanitize their hands after picking up pet faeces using a dispensed bag.

A foam dispensing cap includes a cap body having a ceiling wall and a cylindrical side wall, and a partition member. An ejection pipe is erected on the upper surface of the ceiling wall. An air chamber is in the space below the ceiling wall. A liquid entry opening is in the partition member. In the air chamber, an air passage for flowing air within the air chamber and a liquid flow path for flowing the content liquid, which has passed through the partition wall and entered the air chamber, communicate with each other. The air passage and the liquid flow path are formed to merge, and a region ranging from the point of merging to the ejection pipe defines an air-liquid mixture flow path. When the squeeze container is tilted and squeezed, the content liquid is ejected in a foamy state from the leading end of the ejection pipe.

A personal dispensing system allows a user to dispense a viscous liquid, such as a disinfectant liquid gel. The dispenser includes a mounting clip which can be worn on the belt of a user. The dispenser has a front sidewall with openings which allow the viscous liquid to be dispensed onto a user's hands. The openings on the front sidewall of the container body and the viscosity of the liquid are selected so that the viscous liquid weeps out of the openings without dripping, or a hand pump can dispense the liquid. The front face of the device can also house a single horizontal roller or a number of roller balls for dispensing the viscous liquid.

A soap dispensing apparatus comprising a housing with a top face and a base directly opposite said top face; a scrubber element removably couplable to said top face; a plurality of soap dispensing channels disposed on the top face fluidly coupled to: a soap cartridge, wherein the soap cartridge is adapted to be received by said housing, the soap cartridge comprising: a reservoir adapted to receive a liquid soap; a spindle; a platform adapted to move along a length of the spindle; a handle adapted to rotate about an axis defined by the length of the spindle thereby pushing the platform up the length of the spindle and moving the liquid soap to the top face and wherein the soap dispensing apparatus is leak resistant.

A disinfectant dispenser apparatus configured to couple to a beverage container, the apparatus includes a housing having a first end including a through hole, an opposing second end, and a cavity therebetween configured to store a fluid, a pump having plurality of ports including a first port in fluid communication with the cavity, and a button moveably coupled to the pump, wherein when the button is configured to dispense the fluid from the cavity via the through hole when moved from a first position to a second position.
