Squeezable fluid dispenser

Abstract

A fluid dispenser can have a bottle holder and a dispenser bulb, and a bottle can be placed in the bottle holder so that fluids can drain down into the dispenser bulb. The dispenser bulb can have a dispenser pore that can be a slit. A user can squeeze the dispenser bulb, so that the fluid within the dispenser bulb can be dispensed through the dispenser opening.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fluid dispenser comprising:
 a dispenser bulb comprising,
 an inner reservoir; 
 an opening at a top of the bulb for fluid to drain into the bulb; and 
 a dispenser pore, wherein the dispenser pore remains closed when the dispenser bulb is in a relaxed conformation, and wherein the dispenser pore is adapted to open and release a fluid stored in the inner reservoir when the bulb is squeezed by a user. 
   
     
     
         2 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein a size of an opening in the dispenser pore is correlated with the amount the bulb is squeezed, wherein the dispenser pore is adapted to open more when the bulb is squeezed more by the user. 
     
     
         3 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 2 , wherein the dispenser pore is a slit in the dispenser bulb. 
     
     
         4 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein a width of the dispenser bulb is greater than a depth of the dispenser bulb. 
     
     
         5 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 1 , further comprising a packaging holder, wherein the packaging holder is configured to hold a packaging with an opening of the packaging facing downwards into the dispenser bulb, and wherein the packaging can be removably sealed to the fluid dispenser so that the fluid can only be released through the dispenser opening. 
     
     
         6 . A fluid dispenser comprising:
 a dispenser bulb comprising,
 an inner reservoir; 
 an opening at a top of the bulb for fluid to drain into the bulb; and 
 a dispenser pore, wherein the dispenser pore remains closed in a relaxed conformation, and wherein the dispenser pore is adapted to open and release a fluid stored in the inner reservoir when the bulb is squeezed by a user; and 
   a packaging holder configured to hold a packaging with an opening of the packaging facing downwards into the dispenser bulb.   
     
     
         7 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the dispenser bulb is made of silicone. 
     
     
         8 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 7 , wherein the dispenser pore is a slit cut in the dispenser bulb. 
     
     
         9 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the fluid dispenser is unitary and made of a silicone. 
     
     
         10 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 9 , wherein the dispenser pore is a slit cut in the dispenser bulb. 
     
     
         11 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 9 , further comprising at least one hook on an exterior surface of the packaging holder, the hook being unitary with the packaging holder. 
     
     
         12 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the packaging holder further comprises an air-release mechanism on an inner surface of the packaging holder, the air release mechanism selected from the group consisting of vertical ribs, bumps, and horizontal ribs. 
     
     
         13 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the packaging holder has at least one air-release hole through a wall of the packaging holder. 
     
     
         14 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 6 , further comprising at least one supporter mount adapted to engage with a supporter. 
     
     
         15 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 14 , wherein the at least one supporter mount is thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top, so that the fluid dispenser is held farther away from a mounting surface at the bottom of the supporter mount. 
     
     
         16 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 14 , further comprising a stand-off extension extending outwards from the packaging holder below the supporter mount. 
     
     
         17 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein a width of the dispenser bulb is greater than a depth of the dispenser bulb. 
     
     
         18 . The fluid dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the packaging holder is configured to be removably sealed to the packaging. 
     
     
         19 . A method of dispensing a fluid comprising:
 removing a cap from a packaging;   holding a fluid dispenser over the packaging;   sliding the fluid dispenser downwards over the packaging until the fluid dispenser is engaged with the packaging;   turning the fluid dispenser and the packaging over so that an opening of the packaging is facing downwards towards a dispenser bulb of the fluid dispenser, and a fluid within the packaging flows down into a reservoir in the dispenser bulb; and   squeezing the dispenser bulb to open a dispenser pore in the dispenser bulb and dispense the fluid within the reservoir out of the dispenser pore in the dispenser bulb.   
     
     
         20 . The method of dispensing a fluid of  claim 19 , further comprising releasing the dispenser bulb so that the dispenser pore closes and fluid within the packaging drains down into the reservoir of the dispenser bulb.
