DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a vending machine. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an economical, automated, and effective vending device for dispensing and spraying fluids selected from perfumes, mouth wash, and the likes.

BACKGROUND
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present system. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed system, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] In today’s fast-paced world, one needs to manage a lot of daily work simultaneously. People have to attend meetings, offices, parties, and other important appointments one after another throughout the day. People cannot always carry along with him/ her each and every daily need item at all times as it will be so cumbersome and tiring. Moreover, in such a busy schedule, with a number of important to-do tasks at hand, people can easily forget something or other such as perfume, water-bottle, sanitizers, lunch, and other things. When there is a dire need for a thing, it is impractical for a person to go home again and again.
[0004] While transiting from office to parties, parties to meetings, or meetings to other appointments, people may need refreshing stuff like perfume and mouthwash, it would be impractical for people to go home again and again to fetch the refreshing stuff. Moreover, as most of the people have to cover a large distance while commuting between their home and office it is almost impossible for many of them to carry everything daily along with while commuting.
[0005] In addition, the COVID outbreak has led the whole world to a requirement and necessity of regular use of sanitizers and other disinfecting fluids to keep them well sanitized. Especially, during traveling time or at public places, people are required to carry their personal sanitizer bottles with them. Further, many kinds of research have proved mouthwashes to play an important role in killing bacteria, COVID virus, and other microorganisms present in the mouth, apart from keeping the mouth fresh.
[0006] Further, while traveling, especially in airplanes and metros, one cannot take each and everything with oneself as it may cost him heavily. Even though all transport media and public places encourage and allow people to carry sanitizers up to a required limit, still, perfume bottles and mouth wash are still not allowed in airplanes. Perfumes being highly flammable are strictly prohibited in airplanes and metros. Also, it is a tough task to carry bottles of perfumes, mouth wash, and sanitizers while traveling as there is always a risk of leakage through the bottles, which can spoil other items like official files and clothes of the person. Moreover, the leakage results in the wastage of precious perfumes and mouthwash.
[0007] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide an economical, efficient, compact, and effective device for dispensing and spraying perfume, mouth wash, sanitizer and disinfecting liquids, and the likes, which can be easy-available to people for overcoming the above-mentioned problems.

[00079] In the foregoing description, numerous details are set forth. It will be apparent, however, to one of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form, rather than in detail, to avoid obscuring the present invention.
[00080] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[00081] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refers to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C …. and N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc.
[00082] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
