Claim 14:
15. A method for associating a dispensing bottle with a mounting assembly, the method comprising the steps of:
capturing a nozzle proximate an upper end of the dispensing bottle with a retainer extending from the mounting assembly;
pivoting a bottom end of the dispensing bottle toward a generally vertical orientation relative to the upper end of the dispensing bottle;
inserting a projection on one of a base of the mounting assembly and a bottom of the dispensing bottle into a socket formed on the other of the base of the mounting assembly and the bottom end of the dispensing bottle;
collapsing the mounting assembly into a retracted configuration such that removal of the dispensing bottle is inhibited by the projection being inserted within the socket and the retainer positioned proximate the upper end of the dispensing bottle when the mounting assembly is in the retracted configuration;
actuating a release mechanism located proximate to the base to allow for movement of the mounting assembly confined to a vertical direction to and between the retracted configuration and an extended configuration;
removing the dispensing bottle from the mounting assembly by, moving the mounting assembly from the retracted configuration to the extended configuration;
unseating the projection from socket;
tilting the dispensing bottle by pulling the bottom end of the dispensing bottle away from the base; and
removing the nozzle from the retainer downwardly.
