TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates, in general, to fluid dispenser, and more specifically, relates to a portable device for accommodating and dispensing fluid such as soap, disinfectant, sanitizer, and antimicrobial solution, which enables a user to disinfect hands, and any surface easily.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Covid-19 badly affected everyday life of the human beings throughout the world. In today’s scenario, it is necessary to be safe from the covid-19 or any other contagious diseases. Every day, it can be heard in the news that covid cases are rising among each age groups of the human.
[0003] To be safe, some precautions suggested by WHO (World Health Organization) such physical distancing, wearing a mask, keeping rooms well ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue. Maintain at least a 1-metre distance between yourself and others to reduce your risk of infection, wear a mask. To wear a mask clean your hands before you put your mask on, as well as before and after you take it off, and after you touch it at any time and make sure mask covers your nose, mouth and chin. Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. This eliminates germs including viruses that may be on your hands.
[0004] It has been widely reported that spread of infectious diseases by hands of healthcare, caregiver, and infected person is a serious issue nowadays. It becomes difficult for everyone to get the soap everywhere to wash and clean hands and especially for the kids it becomes more difficult to keep soap in pocket always. People may be working at different places and time, kids also goes outside in garden, school, and tuitions. Therefore, while going outside chances of physical interaction with outer world are increasing.
[0005] Effective hand washing is the need of the hour mainly after current pandemic. It is known that the immune system fights with organisms like viruses, bacteria and protozoa etc. every day to keep us healthy. There is therefore an ongoing fight between various organisms and our own immune system, wherein if the number of organisms is less than critical value our body owns and we stay healthy, whereas if the load of number of organisms is higher than the threshold, our body cannot fight with the larger number of organisms and as a result we fall sick.
[0006] Many hand sanitizer are available in the market in large size and small size, but we have to carry phone, purse, and many things with us always, thus mostly we keeps available hand sanitizer in our bags, and it’s not easy for us to find out hand sanitizer in the bag every time we touch a surface. Also, for children it is difficult to open and close the cap of existing sanitizer by applying force. Therefore we need a device which can be clipped to our clothes, pockets and bags easily, and even a child can use it without using extra force.
[0007] There is therefore a need in the art to provide a portable and easy to use device to clean hand easily that overcomes the aforementioned challenges.

[0033] The present disclosure relates generally to fluid dispenser, and more particularly, relates to a portable device for accommodating and dispensing fluid such as soap, disinfectant, sanitizer, and antimicrobial solution. The user can easily carry the device and disinfect hands, and any surface easily anytime. The device can be a pen shaped device having a clip, which enables the user to attach the device with an object. Also, the device have a barrel to accommodate fluid, and when amount of fluid is minimized in the barrel, fluid can be refilled in the barrel.
[0034] Referring to the FIG. 1, where an exemplary structure view of a proposed device 100 for dispensing fluid is disclosed. The device 100 enables a user to use the device 100 at any place any time. The device 100 can facilitate in disinfecting hands, surface, and the likes with one or more fluids (collectively referred as fluids, individually referred as fluid, hereinafter) such as, but not limited to, water, anti-bacterial fluid, and sanitizer. In an exemplary embodiment, the one or more fluids can be in form liquid, gel, and the likes.
[0035] In an embodiment, the device 100 can include a barrel 102 having an elongated tubular shape to accommodate fluid, and the barrel 102 can have a first end 104-1 and a second end 104-2. At first end 104-1 a tip 106 can be disposed that facilitates in dispensing of fluid from the barrel 102. An outlet 108 can be attached with the tip 106 that facilitates in dispensing of the fluid outside from the barrel 102.
[0036] In an embodiment, components of device 100 can be made from a variety of plastic and/or metal materials. Since some degree of rigidity is required, plastic such as polypropylene, high density polyethylene, and acetal resin, celcon, delrin, and the likes, can be used, and metals can be steel, stainless steel, brass, bronze and aluminum, and the likes.
[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the device 100 can be similar to a pen having a barrel and a tip, where an outlet having shape like a nib can be coupled with the tip. Fluid filled in the barrel dispensed outside through the nib.
[0038] In an embodiment, a cap 116 can be provided to protect the outlet 108 from being contaminated, the cap can be removably coupled with the first end 104-1. The cap 116 can be affixed to the barrel 102 with a mechanism selected from a group consisting of screw threading, snap fitting, pressure fitting, and the likes.
[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the cap 116 can be attached to the device 100 to prevent damages of the outlet 108, also protect the outlet 108 from being contaminated. When the device 100 is not in the user, the user can cover the tip 106 along with the outlet 108 with the cap 116.
[0040] In an embodiment, a cover 110 can be utilized to close the second end of the barrel 102. The cover 110 can be affixed to the barrel 102 at the second end 104-2 with a mechanism selected from a group consisting of screw threading, snap fitting, pressure fitting, and the likes. To refill the barrel with fluid, the cover 110 can be opened and fluid can be filled in the barrel, and the cover 110 can be closed to prevent spilling of the fluid outside. In another embodiment, the device 100 can be stored in a pocket, thus it is essential that the fluid not leak from the device 100.
[0041] In an embodiment, the fluid can be any or combination of soap, disinfectant, sanitizer, antimicrobial solution, hand cleaner, liquid cleaner, viscous liquid and the likes.
[0042] In an embodiment, the barrel 102 can include a clip 114 for detachably securing the device 100 to an object such as to a piece of clothing i.e. pocket of a shirt or trouser, and to a bag, purse for storage and/or transport of the device 100.
[0043] In an embodiment, the device 100 can include an actuator 112, the actuator can be disposed on the barrel 102, and the actuator 112 can be configured to dispense the fluid stored in the barrel 102 through the tip 106. The actuator can be selected from a group consisting of, but not limited to push-button, knob, switch, and key.
[0044] In an embodiment, shape of device 100 can be similar to shape of a writing device i.e. pen, marker, and the likes, but there is no refill in the device 100, it can be used to store and dispense fluid only.
[0045] Referring to FIG. 2A, where an exemplary internal view of device 100 in stationary positioned is disclosed. The device can include a closure 202 inside the barrel, which can be moved in between in between a stationary position and an actuated position. The tip 106 can have an opening to allow fluid from the barrel 102, the opening can be opened and closed with the closure 202. The closure 202 can include a plate 204 coupled at an end of a shaft 206, the plate can be rectangular, circular, and the likes, and another end of the shaft 206 can be coupled with the actuator 112. When the device 100 is not in use, the closure 202 can be in stationary position covering the opening of the tip 106, and upon actuation of the actuator 112, the shaft 206 can be moved downward, consequently moving the plate 204 downwards from stationary position to actuated position (as shown in FIG. 2B), thus enables the fluid to be flowed from the barrel 102 to the tip 108.
[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, to use the device 100, the cap 116 can be removed from the device 100 and the button 112 can be pressed, upon pressing the button, the closure 202 can be moved to uncover the opening provided in the tip 106, and sanitizer can be dispensed from the device 100 easily. The cap 116 can be closed after using the device 100 to prevent leakage, when the button is pressed unintentionally in the pocket or bag. Also, the cover 110 can be opened to refill the fluid in the device 100 easily.
