Abstract

A wearable dispenser is provided having an elongate body having a first end and a second end and extending from the first end to the second end in an arc forming at least a portion of an ellipse, oval or circle and extending through greater than 180 degrees so as to fit over a wrist. A product is retained interiorly of the body, and a pump assembly fluidly communicates with the product in the body. The pump assembly includes a movable dispensing tip that, upon reciprocal movement, dispenses a dose of product from the pump assembly and draws another dose of product into the pump assembly.

Claims (13)

1. A wearable dispenser comprising:

an elongate body having a first end and a second end and extending from said first end to said second end in an arc forming at least a portion of an ellipse, oval or circle and extending through greater than 180 degrees so as to fit over a wrist;

a product retained interiorly of said body;

a pump assembly fluidly communicating with the product in said body, said pump assembly including:

a movable dispensing tip that, upon reciprocal movement, dispenses a dose of product from the pump assembly and draws another dose of product into the pump assembly, wherein said body defines a product space retaining said product, the wearable dispenser further comprising a plug follower inside said product space, wherein, upon reciprocal movement, said movable dispensing tip dispenses a dose of product from the pump assembly and draws another dose of product into the pump assembly from said product space, the vacuum created thereby drawing the plug follower toward said pump assembly, said plug follower keeping said product isolated from air.

2. The wearable dispenser of claim 1 , wherein said second end of said body provides a connection space, wherein said body is formed of a flexible material, wherein said body extends from said first end to said second end in an arc forming at least one ellipse, oval or circle, and wherein at least a portion of said movable dispensing tip of said pump assembly is received in said connection space.

3. The wearable dispenser of claim 1 , further comprising a catch at said second end of said body, wherein said body is formed of a flexible material, wherein said body extends from said first end to said second end in an arc forming at least one ellipse, oval or circle, and wherein at least a portion of said movable dispensing tip of said pump assembly is received in said catch.

4. The wearable dispenser of claim 1 , wherein said body is formed of a resilient material that maintains said arc at rest, said resilient material yielding to a user's wrist in placing the dispenser on or removing the dispenser from a wrist.

5. The wearable dispenser of claim 3 , wherein said body extends from said first end to said second end in an arc forming at least one ellipse, oval or circle.

6. The wearable dispenser of claim 1 , wherein said pump assembly includes:

a base secured to said body, and

a rotating cap, said movable dispensing tip extending from said rotating cap.

7. The wearable dispenser of claim 6 , wherein said movable dispensing tip extends from said rotating cap such that it extends perpendicularly to the axis of said body.
