Abstract

The fluid dispenser includes a storage pouch that defines a storage container with fluid residing therein. The storage container has an exit port. A docking support includes a seat for removably receiving the storage container. The docking support has an input port. The exit port of the storage container is in fluid communication with the input port of the docking support. A conduit is fluidly connected to the input port of the docking support whereby fluid is delivered from the storage container through the docking station and through the conduit and out through the nozzle. A nozzle is preferably attached to the free end of the conduit with a metering pump positioned thereat to control flow of fluid therefrom.
