Flexible frame for use with flexible fluid dispensers

A frame for use with a container, comprising:

• a first member;
• a second member coupled to the first member at a proximal end of the frame opposite a distal end of the frame, the first and second members both extending from the proximal end towards the distal end;
• a locking feature at the distal end of the frame;
• wherein the frame is configured to receive the container;
• wherein the locking feature is configured to interact with a cap affixed over an opening at a dispensing end of the container;
• and
• wherein when the container is received by the frame:
• the proximal end of the frame is positioned adjacent to a base of the container opposite a dispensing end of the container;
• the first and second members are each in contact with a wall of a body of the container;
• the first and second members provide increased resistance against displacement of external walls of the container by an external compression force;
• and
• the locking feature is configured to hold and maintain the container in an uncompressed state when the cap is affixed over the opening of the container.

• and
• at least one of the first and second members further comprises a feedback feature configured to provide a feedback in response to when a specific external compression force is applied to the at least one of the first and second members, when the specific external compression force causes a specific displacement or deformation in the container to occur, or both.
