  • Publication number: 20210362995
    Abstract: A modularly configured hand sanitizing fluid storage and dispensing device is provided comprising an outer container that can be attached to a fixed object where hand sanitation is desired. The dispenser has an interior cavity accessible from the exterior, through a door, and a fluid reservoir attached to hand sanitizer dispensers, placed either on the device or connected distally by using tubing to feed fluid to the dispensers. The placement of the dispensers can be made in accordance with local codes or in accordance with the Americans with Disability Act, to provide users with hand sanitizing fluid. The fluid is placed in the outer container by using fluid modules comprising bag-in-box (BIB) modules that are, when inserted, in fluid communication with the reservoir, filling the reservoir upon insertion. The module can be readily replaced when empty, while leaving the reservoir of the container filled for use while the module is being replaced.
