Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a dispensing system for use in lavatories. The system may include a container, a mount, and optionally, a conversion module. The container may have an attached dispensing mechanism and a projection that is adapted to fit into a receiver on the mount or conversion module. The receiver may be adapted to engage the projection on the container. The assembled system secures the container into the mount and allows the container to be rotated to a proper orientation while it is secured to the mount.

Abstract: A machine for packaging articles within material supplied in the form of a flexible tube, in which the material is transferred to the articles from a tubular shuttle. Initially the articles rest on a support carried by the shuttle, and projecting away from one end of it. During packaging the articles are restrained from moving with the shuttle, so that the shuttle passes over them until, fully covered by packaging material, they lie clear of the other end of it. There are then means for sealing both the package and the new free end of the material remining on the shuttle, removing the completed package from the path of the shuttle, returning the shuttle to its starting position and recharging the support with articles to be packaged.
