Abstract:
1. A disposable squeeze packet for dispensing multiple doses of hand sanitizing fluid, comprising: a packet designed to hold and preserve hand sanitizing fluid with the general form of a substantially flat sealed pouch made of flexible polymeric material with at least two distinct chambers in fluidic communication permitting inter-chamber fluid transfer when appropriate stresses are applied via the packet walls of said flexible polymeric material; a first chamber capable of holding plural doses of said fluid; a second chamber capable of receiving a measured dose of said fluid from said first chamber; a partitioning means constructed of a flexible polymeric material separating adjacent first and second chambers, said partitioning means having a fluid passage governing means formed at a passage gap in said partitioning means, wherein, when external pressure is applied to the walls of said first chamber, said fluid pressure is directed against said partitioning means adjacent said passage gap causing deformation of said flexible polymeric material to provide a self-forming choke by constricting said fluid passage formed by said passage gap, thereby resisting and blocking fluid flow between said first and second chambers; and said second chamber functioning as a dispensing valve means for said fluid held within when said fluid is pressure stripped from said second chamber through an exit means capable of being created in at least one wall of said second chamber to dispense said fluid.
