| 1. A dispenser protector, comprising:
a substantially cylindrical fastener having a first end and a second end, the first end adapted to frictionally engage an
outer surface of a spigot of a fluid dispenser and the second end having an opening, the opening being of a first diameter;
a substantially cylindrical shield coupled to the second end of the fastener and covering the opening, said shield being of
a second diameter greater than the first diameter, the shield having a coupling means for being selectively coupled to a receiving
receptacle;
a connector assembly having a first end coupled to an outer surface of the shield and a second end adapted to be coupled to
the fluid dispenser,
wherein a height of the fastener is selected so that, when the fastener is coupled to the spigot, a distal end of the spigot
does not contact the receiving receptacle, and
wherein the shield is adapted to frictionally engage a seat disposed on the fluid dispenser.
