Abstract: A user-activated, dispenser of pre-moistened, antiseptic towelettes appropriate for hand cleansing use in such contexts as food service, health care, long-term care, child care, educational settings, industry, military, and public restrooms. The dispenser contains two compartments. One is used for towelette-dispensing and the other can be optionally used for housing hand drying means or for storing a reserve supply of towelettes. Each compartment is configured according to operant and classical conditioning strategies that motivate sustained positive changes in both the frequency and effectiveness of hand washing behavior. Optionally, the present invention dispenser can also comprise towelette warming means, a retractable handle, and a sanitary towelette or paper towel disposal assembly.

Abstract: Apparatus for hands-free portability, single-handed dispensing and omnipresent availability of folded and stacked pre-moistened antiseptic towelettes intended for use in the control and prevention of contact transmission of infectious disease by making frequent and effective hand and object cleansing feasible and appealing, despite the pressures and demands of contemporary life. It comprises a bag with a reflective and washable outer surface, which expands according to fullness, and two covered compartments separated by an insulated divider, one being employed for unused towelettes, and the other for soiled towelettes. Adjustable straps that include hook-and-loop fasteners in alternating configurations permit attachment of the bag to body parts, items worn and transported by users, inanimate objects, and mobile items in contact with floor and ground surfaces the movement of which is guided by users.

Abstract: A non-automatic dispenser of towelettes that is appropriate for use in such contexts as food service, health care, long-term care, child care, educational settings, industry, military and public restrooms. A photo sensor, triggered by badge provides data for performance feedback and reinforcement/accountability strategies, documented by research as essential for sustained changes in hand cleansing behavior. Mounting shoes provide for versatility of secure placement on counter/desks; under cabinet; on either front, left or right facing wall, in bathroom stall.

Abstract: A portable dispenser apparatus that dispenses pre-moistened towelettes from a web. The dispenser includes a housing presenting a towelette dispensing opening and a storage compartment adapted to support the web of towelettes in a roll. A dispensing assembly is provided for drawing the end-most towelette from the web and dispensing it through the dispensing opening when a dispensing actuator is operated. The actuator activates the dispensing assembly to dispense a single towelette from the web, and returns the remaining web to the roll subsequent to removal of the end-most towelette by the user so that the next towelette of the web remains moist until subsequently dispensed. A manually operated web-fed dispenser and a travel dispenser are also provided, as is a moistening composition for use on the towelettes.
