Washing hands with liquid ‘sanitiser’ requires the user to press a springloaded valve on a plastic bottle to get the soap out (I have seen some proximity-switched ones, but they were broken and not really domestic items anyway).
Today’s invention is simply a new base design for these dispensers which avoids the need to finger the (often revolting) trigger mechanism.
This allows one to press on the upturned bottom of the original container with a clothed elbow and catch the soap in the other hand -without knocking the whole apparatus onto the floor.
