The present invention is directed toward a cost effective instrument for storing a fluid material, and applying a predetermined amount of the fluid material to a surface. The instrument is comprised of few parts including an outer casing and a fluid insert, making the instrument cheaper to manufacture, and easy to assemble. The embodiments disclosed can be provided in a pre-assembled form to cosmetic companies and the like seeking to fill a dispenser with their fluid cosmetic products. The ability to provide dispensers in a pre-assembled form, combined with the compatibility of the fluid dispensers with industrial high speed filling machines, reduces the overall filling costs to the cosmetic company, as well as the cost to the consumer.

1. A dispenser assembly for dispensing a predetermined amount of fluid material comprising: a fluid insert having a body including a first end and a second end, a hollow chamber for storing a fluid material, a seal cap mounted to said first end for sealing said fluid insert, a pump connected to said second end for dispensing a predetermined amount of fluid material, a first notch and a second notch on said body displaced from said second end, a protruding ridge displaced from said first end, and a stop having a first side and a second side; andan outer casing having an interior chamber for receiving said fluid insert, said outer casing having a first end and a second end, an applicator arranged at said first end for applying said fluid material dispensed from said pump of said fluid insert to a surface, a first tab arranged within said interior chamber of said outer casing, a second tab arranged within said interior chamber of said outer casing, said first tab constructed and arranged to fit within said first notch and said second tab constructed and arranged to fit within said second notch, said first and second tabs guiding movement of said fluid insert within said outer casing, a ridge arranged within said interior chamber of said outer casing, said ridge being operative to restrict removal of said fluid insert when said fluid insert is assembled within said interior chamber,wherein said fluid insert is rotatable within said outer casing between a pumping position and a non-pumping position, said fluid insert being in a non-pumping position when said second side of said stop is adjacent to said second tab and said second notch is displaced from said second tab, and said fluid insert is in said first position when said first tab is aligned with said first notch and said first side of said stop is adjacent to said first tab. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the second end of the fluid insert extends beyond the second receiving end of the outer casing. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the fluid insert further includes a raised band extending around an outer surface of the fluid insert, the raised band capable of being moved within the pumping region during movement of the fluid insert from the first position to the second position. 4. The device of claim 1, further comprising a movable pushing mechanism positioned within the fluid insert, the pushing mechanism capable of moving the fluid material within the fluid insert toward the pump. 5. A device for dispensing a predetermined amount of a fluid material to a surface comprising: a hollow outer casing having a first applicator end and an opposed second receiving end, an interior surface, an opening at the first applicator end, and a pumping region positioned between the first applicator end and second applicator end;a fluid insert for housing fluid material, the fluid insert having a first end, a pump arranged at the first end of the fluid insert, and a raised band on the outer surface thereof, the fluid insert being constructed and arranged to fit within the hollow outer casing so that the raised band is arranged within the pumping region, the fluid insert capable of moving between the second receiving end and the first applicator end of the outer casing from a first position to a second position,wherein the fluid insert is in the first position when the raised band is closer to the second receiving end of the outer casing, and the fluid insert is in the second position when the raised band is closer to the first applicator end of the outer casing, the fluid insert dispensing a same predetermined amount of the fluid material contained in the fluid insert through the opening of the outer casing each time the fluid insert moves from the first position to the second position,wherein the pumping region has a diameter that is greater than a diameter of the remainder of the interior surface of the outer casing, the pumping region retaining the fluid insert within the outer casing. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the pump further comprises a pump body and pump tip, and wherein movement of the fluid insert from the first position to the second position causes the pump tip to engage a pump actuation surface on the outer housing and eject the same predetermined amount of fluid material through the opening in the outer housing. 7. A dispenser assembly for dispensing a fluid, the dispenser assembly comprising: an elongate hollow outer casing having a first end with an aperture and a second end forming a receiving opening, the hollow outer casing including a pumping section defined by first and second stops;a fluid insert positioned predominantly within said hollow outer casing and accessible to a user through said receiving opening, the fluid insert including a pump at the first end of the hollow outer casing and a fluid reservoir associated therewith, the pump including a spring mechanism biased to move said fluid insert toward the receiving opening, the fluid insert including a band;wherein the band is forced against the second stop by the spring mechanism and against the first stop under external force applied to the fluid insert by a user, the pump disposing a same predetermined volume of fluid upon application of the external force each time the band travels from the second stop to the first stop. 8. The dispenser of claim 7, wherein the pump includes an intake region through which the pump is refilled with a volume of fluid from the fluid reservoir upon movement of said band from said first stop to said second stop. 9. The dispenser of claim 7, wherein said pumping section is of a greater diameter than a remainder of the fluid insert immediately adjacent, and said first and second stops are formed by a junction between the differing diameters. 10. The dispenser of claim 9, wherein the band is raised above adjacent portions of the fluid insert. 11. The dispenser of claim 7, wherein said pumping section is generally positioned near said receiving opening. 12. The dispenser of claim 7, wherein the external force compresses the spring mechanism.
