Abstract:
A wearable fluid-dispensing apparatus that includes a flexible wristband coupled to and surrounding a wrist-arm area of a user, with the wristband having a frame disposed along an outer surface of the wearable wristband and at a ventral side of the user's wrist, an enclosed cartridge coupled to the frame for housing a fluid therein, and a fluid transfer conduit disposed within the enclosed cartridge for transporting the fluid from the enclosed cartridge to a nozzle port on a finger-activatable pump assembly coupled to the frame. The pump assembly defines a nozzle port disposed above a top end of the wristband and angled toward the user's palm, defining a fluid extraction passageway fluidly coupled to the nozzle port and the fluid transfer conduit, and operably configured to translate downwardly toward the fluid extraction passageway fluidly to generate a vacuum therein and emit the fluid on the user's inner hand.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of sanitizing a user's hands with a wearable fluid-dispensing apparatus, comprising the steps of\n providing a flexible wristband with:\n a frame disposed along an outer surface thereof, the frame having a bottom wall, an upper wall, and a pair of lateral walls defining a receptacle that houses an enclosed cartridge retained by the frame, the enclosed cartridge housing a sanitizing fluid and having an extraction port disposed on an upper end of the enclosed cartridge; \n a fluid transfer conduit disposed within the enclosed cartridge and having a lower end disposed within the sanitizing fluid and an upper end disposed proximal to the extraction port of the enclosed cartridge; and \n a finger-activatable pump assembly coupled to the frame and including a piston defining a nozzle port disposed above a top end of the wristband and defining a fluid extraction passageway fluidly coupled to the nozzle port and the fluid transfer conduit, the piston operably configured to translate downwardly in a direction toward the fluid extraction passageway fluidly; \n encircling a user's forearm with a flexible wristband to dispose the frame, enclosed cartridge, and the piston at a ventral side of the user's wrist and with the nozzle port of the piston angled toward a user's palm; and depressing the piston of the finger-activatable pump assembly, generating a vacuum within the fluid extraction passageway and the fluid transfer conduit, to emit the fluid housed in the enclosed cartridge through the nozzle port at an acute emission angle with respect to the downwardly direction toward the fluid extraction passageway,
