a dispensing bottle containing a liquid to be dispensed from the dispensing bottle, the dispensing bottle having an upper end and a bottom end;
a socket formed in the bottom end of the dispensing bottle;
a pump assembly coupled to the dispensing bottle to pump the liquid from the dispensing bottle, the pump assembly including a nozzle proximate the upper end of the dispensing bottle;
a mounting assembly having a base to support the bottom end of the dispensing bottle, the mounting assembly movement confined to a vertical direction to and between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration;
a collar spaced from the base and positioned proximate the upper end of the dispensing bottle when the mounting assembly is in the retracted configuration, the collar capturing the upper end of the dispensing bottle subjacent of the nozzle;
a projection on the mounting assembly sized and configured to insert into the socket when the dispensing bottle is supported on the base;
wherein removal of the dispensing bottle is inhibited by the projection being within the socket and the collar positioned proximate the upper end of the dispensing bottle when the mounting assembly is in the retracted configuration;
wherein the dispensing bottle may be removed from the mounting assembly with the mounting assembly in the extended configuration;
a carriage member extending upward from base and coupling the collar, at least in part, to the base;
wherein a distance between the base and the collar is greater when the mounting assembly is in the extended configuration than when it is in the retracted configuration;
wherein the collar moves upwardly relative to the base when the mounting assembly converts from the retracted configuration to the extended configuration;
wherein the mounting assembly is biased toward the extended configuration.
