Abstract
A portable dispenser for a hand treatment agent includes a flexible bag containing the treatment agent. A valve assembly is sealed to the bag, and functions to receive a portion of the agent from the bag, and is manually operable to discharge the received portion from an outlet port, and automatically refill with another portion of the agent from the bag. A flexible hanger on the bag facilitates adhesive external attachment to wearing apparel of the dispenser user for easy access, and is foldable onto the bag for adhesive attachment to the bag and concealment of adhesive when the dispenser is temporarily out of use.
