  • Patent number: 11666183
    Abstract: An apparatus for a wearable sanitizer dispenser that comprises elastic elements filled with liquid sanitizer. Each elastic element is for storing, transporting and dispensing sanitizer. The elastic element has a slit on its surface. The release of liquid sanitizer stored in the elastic element is prompted by compressing the elastic element and squeezing liquid sanitizer through the slit. The slit is also used for inserting liquid sanitizer into the elastic element. Multiple elastic elements can be strung together through the tube, or connected on the exterior of the elements by other elastic elements, and worn as a bracelet or necklace. The apparatus may also be used to dispense other types of fluid, such as lotion.
