  • Mounting devices for dispensers
    Patent number: 4461445
    Abstract: A mounting and locking device for a dispenser consists of a mounting plate provided with holes enabling it to be screwed to a wall or similar support and having projections engageable with grooves formed in the back of the dispenser so that the dispenser can be engaged with the mounting plate by downward sliding movement. A latch member is provided on a portion of the mounting plate which is obscured by the dispenser when the dispenser is mounted on the mounting plate. The latch member is arranged in an operative position to project from the mounting plate and locate in a recess formed in the rear of the dispenser so that if an attempt is made to remove the dispenser by sliding it upwardly relative to the mounting plate the latch engages the dispenser and prevents it from being removed.

  • Apparatus for dispensing fluids
    Patent number: 4421249
    Abstract: A dispenser comprises a hollow body adapted to receive a container of product to be dispensed, a dispensing mechanism disposed below the hollow body and means within the body for puncturing a container of product inserted therein to permit discharge of product from the container into the lower portion of the body. The lower portion of the body defines a reservoir of smaller volume than that of the container whereby the product accumulated in the reservoir acts to seal the punctured container and control the discharge of product therefrom. The container and the body are of complementary shape so that the container may only be inserted into the body in one position.
