Wearable dispenser

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.

What is claimed is: 
     
         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 refill unit including:
 a pump assembly and a collapsible container, said collapsible container being received in said elongate body and holding product to be dispensed, 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 from the collapsible container. 
   
     
     
         2 . The wearable dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein said pump assembly and said collapsible container form a refill unit removable from said body. 
     
     
         3 . The wearable dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein said body is vented such that air may enter between said body and said collapsible container. 
     
     
         4 . The wearable dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein said collapsible container is a bellows chamber. 
     
     
         5 . The wearable dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein said collapsible container is a collapsible bag. 
     
     
         6 . 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 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.   
     
     
         7 . The wearable dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein said connection space is a catch. 
     
     
         8 . 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. 
     
     
         9 . The wearable dispenser of  claim 8 , wherein said body extends from said first end to said second end in an arc forming at least one ellipse, oval or circle. 
     
     
         10 . The wearable dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein said body defines a product space, said product space retaining said product, and, 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. 
     
     
         11 . The wearable dispenser of  claim 11 , wherein said product space is vented such that air replaces the doses of product drawn into said product space.
