## Abstract

A wearable fluid-dispensing apparatus includes a frame including a bottom wall, an upper wall, and a pair of lateral walls defining a receptacle, a cartridge removably attached to the frame within the receptacle of the frame, the cartridge having an interior reservoir, a fluid extraction port, and a fluid transfer conduit disposed within the interior reservoir of the cartridge. A housing located above the upper wall of the frame including an electric pump assembly in communication with the fluid transfer conduit of the cartridge. The electric pump assembly includes a rotatable nozzle disposed above a top end of the housing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An apparatus comprising:
a frame comprising an upper wall and a pair of lateral walls defining a receptacle;
a cartridge removably attached to the frame within at least a portion of the receptacle of the frame, the cartridge comprising an interior reservoir and a fluid extraction port;
a fluid transfer conduit disposed within the interior reservoir of the cartridge and having a lower end disposed adjacent to an inner surface of a lower end of the cartridge and an upper end coupled to an inside surface of the cartridge and disposed adjacent to the fluid extraction port of the cartridge,
a housing located above the upper wall of the frame, the housing comprising an electric pump assembly in communication with the fluid transfer conduit of the cartridge, wherein the housing further comprises:
a sensor;
a processor in communication with the sensor, the processor configured to process information from the sensor; and
a control unit in communication with the processor and coupled to the electric pump assembly, the processor configured to send a signal to the control unit to actuate the electric pump assembly; and
a rotatable nozzle removably attached to the electric pump assembly.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the sensor comprises a touch screen, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer, or combinations thereof.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control unit is configured to actuate a piston of the electric pump assembly to dispense a fluid from the cartridge based on the signal from the processor.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rotatable nozzle is configured to rotate along a horizontal axis and a vertical axis.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The apparatus of claim 4, wherein an emission angle of the rotatable nozzle can be adjusted along a 360° rotation path.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a removable slot in the frame for receiving a radio-frequency identification device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the lateral walls of the frame comprise a fastening member for retaining the cartridge.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the cartridge comprises lateral side walls, each of the lateral side walls comprise a second fastening member that engages the fastening member of the frame.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the cartridge comprises a front face and a rear face, the front face comprising a convex shape and the rear face comprising a flat shape.

### Claim 10

A wearable apparatus comprising:
a wristband comprising a first band portion and a second band portion;
a frame removably coupled to the first band portion and the second band portion of the wristband, the frame comprising a bottom wall, an upper wall, and a pair of lateral walls defining a receptacle;
a cartridge removably attached to the frame within at least a portion of the receptacle of the frame, the cartridge comprising an interior reservoir and a fluid extraction port;
a fluid transfer conduit disposed within the interior reservoir of the cartridge and having a lower end disposed adjacent to an inner surface of a lower end of the cartridge and an upper end coupled to an inside surface of the cartridge and disposed adjacent to the fluid extraction port of the cartridge,
a housing located above the upper wall of the frame, the housing comprising an electric pump assembly in communication with the fluid transfer conduit of the cartridge, wherein the housing further comprises:
a sensor;
a processor in communication with the sensor, the processor configured to process information from the sensor; and
a control unit in communication with the processor and coupled to the electric pump assembly, the processor configured to send a signal to the control unit to actuate the electric pump assembly; and
a rotatable nozzle removably attached to the electric pump assembly.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The wearable apparatus of claim 10, wherein the sensor comprises a touch screen, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer, or combinations thereof.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The wearable apparatus of claim 11, wherein the control unit is configured to actuate a piston to dispense a fluid from the cartridge based on a signal from the sensor.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The wearable apparatus of claim 10, further comprising a removable slot in the frame for receiving a radio-frequency identification device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The wearable apparatus of claim 10, further comprising an LCD device removably attached to the wristband.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)
