Abstract:
While clean, disinfected hands are widely recognized as a principle means for controlling the spread of infections, disease, and similar health problems to both self and others, the prompt and repeated application of such materials as soap and water or waterless gels is necessary to maintain sanitary hands. So well recognized is this fact that many professional and governmental guidelines backed by regulations have been drawn to enforce compliance. This invention relates to compliance monitoring of hand sanitizing fluids and gels used to reduce the hand-borne transmission of pathogens. Disclosed is a simple, low-cost method of which a key aspect is the employment of a wristband dispenser with plural individual applications of hand sanitizing fluid in a convenient dispensing form. Inclusion of a use activated timing device provides a means of monitoring an individual's elapsed time since last use.

Abstract:
A cigar tobacco paper and a method for packaging the same is provided. The cigar tobacco paper is packaged with a tapered tubular means to hold a shape of the cigar tobacco paper. The cigar tobacco paper is rolled into a plurality of layers and placed within a tapered tubular means. The tubular means may be formed over the rolled tobacco paper or may be formed prior to insertion of the tobacco paper into the tubular means. The tubular means is tapered at its end points which in turn causes the cigar tobacco paper to be tapered to correspond to the shape of the tubular means. The tubular means may have a plurality of pieces that may be united to form the complete tubular means. The pieces of the tubular means may make insertion and extraction of the cigar tobacco paper easier. The encased tobacco paper within the tubular means allows for the tobacco paper to keep a rolled shape until delivered and used by a consumer. The tubular means may maintain the moisture and the flavor of the cigar tobacco paper prior to delivery to a consumer.
