SANSENSE

Abrégé anglais

SanSense is a wearable wristband that dispenses hand
sanitizing disinfectant into the hands, ready to go at all
times. The wristband comes with pre filled pods of
sanitizer that fit perfectly into the band.
SanSense is used so people may have hands-free, ready to
go, disinfectant in a very busy world. It is to make sure
that you are covered at all times in a sense of not having
to worry about germs and getting sick and spreading
bacteria. As for busy people on the go or anyone who just
would like the convenience of having it at all times
without a bulky bottle sticking out of your pocket.
SanSense is a wearable wristband with a compartment
made into the wristband, with a hard removable
protective top, where a pre filled pod of hand sanitizing
disinfect, with a one way valve attached to the pod, fits
securely and snug into the compartment. When on the
wrist, the compartment will be sitting on the inside wrist
just at the edge of the hand, with the one way valve
facing the direction of the palm. The wristband
dispensing unit consists of 3parts.
1. The band itself, which has a built in compartment for
the pre filled pods to fit in.
2. A hard removable top that allows a top closure to fit
and lock-in place protecting the pre filled pods from
accidentally being pressed on causing unwanted extreme
pressure forcing the pod to leak. It sits on top of the

compartment like a cage. It had a hollow center for the
person to press with a finger inside the hollow center onto
the pods, applying enough pressure for the pods to release
the sanitizer.
3. Pre filled pods, filled with hand sanitizing disinfectant.
The pods have a one way valve attached to release the
sanitizer into the palm. The one way valve has a turning
cap at the end that twists open and close to provide the
extra sense of security for unwanted leaking.

an extended configuration wherein, when the structure is disposed at the
operative
position, the cap is disposed proximal to the palm of the one of the arms; and
a retracted configuration wherein, when the structure is disposed at the
operative
configuration, the cap is disposed distal to the palm of the one of the arms.
According to another aspect, the spigot can be collapsible and is adapted for
digital
manipulation by the hand of the other arm between the extended configuration
and the
retracted configuration.
According to another aspect, the mechanism can be adapted to dispense
sanitizer from
the chamber onto the palm of the one arm when the spigot is in the extended
configuration.
According to another aspect, the structure can comprise a receiver and a
chamber, the
chamber being releasably connected to the receiver.
According to another aspect, the chamber can be compressible and can have a
sidewall
that defines the pod.
According to another aspect, the chamber and the mechanism can be integrally
formed.
According to another aspect, the tip can be defined by a pressure relief valve
that
provides for fluid communication between the chamber and atmosphere when the
pad is
moved to the release position.
According to another aspect, the receiver can include:
a base connected to the arrangement and adapted to receive the chamber; and
a cover releasably connectable to the base to provide for said releasable
connection
between the chamber and the receiver, the cover defining an aperture which,
when
the base is in receipt of the cover and the cover is releasably connected to
the
base, presents towards the pod to permit a through passing finger to provide
for
said actuation. Sansense will be used for anybody who works in the public or
ventures out into the public or anywhere that is outside of their home. This

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in
the
drawings and will be understood to include: a structure, an arrangement and a
mechanism.
The structure comprises of a band and a hollow plastic compartment attached to
the
band.
The compartment acts as a protective, barrier for the pod, as it surrounds and
covers the
pod, to prevent accidental pressure put compartment at an unwanted time. This
will
prevent any sanitizer from being released, at times not wanting to use the
unit.
The plastic compartment is in two pieces, one piece permanently attached to
the band as
the other piece can be removed and reattached.
The compartment has a hollow cut-out of the top of the removable piece,
located directly
in the middle.
The compartment also has a small circular hollow hole on the side, which is
located evenly
in the middle of both pieces of the compartment.
The purpose of the small circular hole pertains to the function of the unit.
The pod has a spigot attached with a cap at the end of the spigot. The cap
Turns to open
for the flow of the hand sanitizer to exit the spigot and closes the opposite
way to seal
from any liquid coming out.
A prefilled pod, filled with hand sanitizer, will slide into the hollow
compartment. The
spigot will slide through the hole on the side while the pod sits in the
compartment.
The spigot will fit into the small circular hole, located on the side of the
compartment.
The spigot has an accordion style neck, thus allowing for extension of the
spigot to stretch
into the palm further. When A persons finished the application, they will
close the spigot
back to its original form, by pressing down at the top of the spigot where the
cap is,
applying pressure towards the band. When the spigot is closed and back in
original form it
will be tucked away and ready for next time.
The cap, attached to the spigot, will be able to turn clockwise and
counterclockwise. The
turning of the cap will open allowing the flow of sanitizer, and also to seal
the spigot to
prevent leaking.
