Title:
A LIQUID DISPENSER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/078830
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Disclosed is a liquid dispenser that can be stored in an upside-down position so that the liquid settles adjacent the opening. Therefore, the liquid is readily accessible for instant dispensing. A cap is included to cover the opening during storage, and a polymeric holding film is attached to the cap by an attachment mechanism. The polymeric holding film is a smooth, flexible, and drapable polymeric film that allows for sliding along the work surface, but provides for holding against a force applied to the dispenser away from the work surface. When such a force is applied, the dispenser is removed from the cap, while the cap and polymeric holding film remain secured to the work surface. Therefore, with one hand the user can remove the dispenser from the cap and dispense the liquid.
