Abstract
A liquid dispenser for dispensing a liquid such as a hand sanitizer uses a receptacle that is dimensioned to properly fit within a typical vehicle cup holder. A receptacle cap is attached to the top of the receptacle. A pumping system passes through the receptacle cap so as to have a dip tube disposed within the receptacle and an actuator located above the receptacle cap. Actuation of the actuator draws liquid from the receptacle and dispenses the liquid onto a user's hand through a discharge portion of the actuator. Spilled liquid is captured within a collection pool defined on a upper surface of the receptacle cap. An protective dome cap is attached to an upper portion of the receptacle cap, has an opening therein for access to the discharge port, and can be pressed downwardly to actuate the pumping system.
