TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a sanitizer bracelet that can be worn by the user for ready and easy access to sanitizer solution stored within the bracelet.

BACKGROUND

With the onset of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases caused by viruses and bacteria, hygienic hand disinfecting with sanitizer products has become a top priority. However, sanitizer products and other methods of cleaning one's hands and body are not always readily available to people as they travel, work, complete chores, frequent venues and live their overall daily lives. Individuals who are more health conscious may seek restrooms whenever they can to wash or clean their hands whenever they touch surfaces that may be contaminated, however, restrooms may not always be conveniently located. Some individuals may spend time searching for restrooms to wash their hands while others may not. In either case, the more time that passes after touching a potentially contaminated surface, the greater the chance that the person who touched that surface may touch their face or other parts of their body that would allow for entry of the infectious disease inside their body, causing the person to become sick. More health conscious individuals may attempt to carry sanitizer products with them as they travel to various places throughout the day. However, this can be both difficult and inconvenient as many sanitizer products do not easily fit in one's pockets and many individuals do not carry bags with them which may be used to hold such products everywhere they go. Therefore, what is needed in the art is a sanitizer product which may be attached directly to a part of to one's body providing individuals with ready and easy access to the sanitizer product immediately when needed to ensure that they are able to disinfect their hands or other parts of their body whenever they come in contact with a surface that may be potentially contaminated.

The present disclosure, as demonstrated by the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein, provides a device that can be worn by a user. The device houses a liquid sanitizer solution that is readily and easily accessible by the user at any time throughout the day which may be used to disinfect one's hands or other body parts which may potentially have come into contact with a contaminated surface. The device may also be referred to as a sanitizer bracelet and includes a body portion or body and a band portion or band having a first opposing end and a second opposing end. In the interest of simplicity, the term “body”, when used herein, refers to a body portion and/or body of the device and the term “band”, when used herein, refers to a band portion and/or band of the device.

Referring toFIGS. 1-3, a device10according to one exemplary embodiment, includes a body portion12and a band portion14. The band portion may extend between opposite ends16,18of the body portion12. In the exemplary embodiment shown inFIGS. 1-3, the body portion12and band portion are integrally-formed. By “integrally-formed”, it is meant that the body portion12and the band portion14are formed together as a single unit rather than being formed separately and subsequently joined. The term defines a structural feature since structures that are integrally-formed are structurally different than structures that are comprised of subcomponents formed separately and then subsequently joined. The body portion12and band portion14cooperate to form a loop operable to receive a body part of a user such as an arm, wrist, leg, or ankle.

The band portion14, as shown inFIGS. 1-3is integrally formed with the body portion12and includes opposing ends20and22. Opposing end20includes a buckle24through which opposing end22may pass through to form a loop around the user's arm, wrist, leg or ankle. The band portion adjacent to opposing end20also includes a plurality of female receiving portions26designed to receive, engage and form a connection with a male pin through a snap-pin connection. Examples of receiving portions26include but are not limited to apertures and female receiving connectors. According to the embodiment illustrated withinFIGS. 1-3, opposing end22includes a pin28. To attach the device to one's arm or leg, the user will pass opposing end22of the band portion14through the buckle24on opposing end20of the band portion14and secure the pin24to one of the female receiving connectors26adjacent to opposing end20of the band portion14. This snap-pin connection allows for quick and easy removal and attachment of the bracelet. Any overhanging material of opposing end22of the band portion14may pass through a loop (not shown) adjacent to the buckle24to secure the overhanging material to the band portion14. Although the band portion14described above is in reference toFIGS. 1-3, it is to be understood the present disclosure also encompasses embodiments where the buckle24and the receiving portion26are alternatively located on opposing end22of the band portion and where the pin28is located on opposing end20of the band portion.

The body portion or body of the device and the band portion or opposing bands of the device may be fabricated of any material found to be suitable by a person of ordinary skill in the art. According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, the body portion or body of the device and the band portion or opposing bands of the device are fabricated from the same material although the present disclosure also encompasses embodiments where these components are made from different materials. The body portion or body of the device and the band portion or opposing bands of the device may be fabricated from a polymeric or elastomeric material that is rubber or rubber-like in nature, a hardened plastic material, leather, a synthetic leather material, nylon, a hard metallic material, or any other suitable material including suitable natural or synthetic materials.
