Preferred Embodiment

[0088]FIG. 1 depicts a preferred embodiment of the wrist-worn, treatment device comprising two components, a) a device body 2 further comprising dispensing reservoir 6 and body attachment means in the form of a wristband 11, and b) a slit-based diaphragm valve 1. The valve 1 exhibits valve slits 3 in the top button 15 of the valve and has a bottom flange 5 that mounts against the inside surface of the reservoir 6. To affix the device to a person's body, the wristband 11 circumscribes the body extremity and the end is threaded through aperture 19. The protuberance 17 is then snap fit into an appropriate one of the perforations 13 exhibited along the length of the wristband. FIG. 2 depicts the embodiment of FIG. 1 with the valve 1 installed. FIGS. 3a and 3b are cross-sectional views of the device of FIG. 1. In FIG. 3a is shown the valve 31 having a convex outer surface 33, a cylindrical standoff ring 37, and a flange 35. The device body 42 comprises a treatment mat...

Abstract

A flexible, body attached device is disclosed for dispensing skin treatment and topically-absorbed medicinal treatments. The device comprises a dispensing reservoir that is caused to dispense treatment through a slit-based diaphragm valve upon the application of simple pressure to the device. Various embodiments of the invention include variations in the structure of the valve, reservoir, and body attachment means.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 11 / 520,962 filed Sep. 14, 2006, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 716,844 filed Sep. 14, 2005.BACKGROUNDPrior Art[0002]The increase in bacterial immunity to modem antibiotics is problematic and one of the chief vectors of infection is the human hand. Hence, when not in the proximity of a washroom to disinfect one's hands, it would be useful to have a means to accomplish such sanitation. Also, in the midst of daily activities, it can be inconvenient to uncap bottles of disinfecting gels or hand lotions to otherwise treat the hands.[0003]Fortunately, it has been established that ethyl alcohol is a most effective antiseptic for gram-negative pathogens; it is of low viscosity, easily dispensed from a portable container, and does not require the use of a material wipe or cloth because of the speed of evaporation. Further, an adequate dose for sanitizing t...
