Abstract:
A viscous liquid dispenser, comprising:a housing defining an internal integral liquid reservoir; a manually operated dispensing pump mechanism carried by said housing and disposed in liquid communication with said internal reservoir, said pump mechanism having a delivery end disposed relative to said housing for delivering metered doses of viscous liquid from said reservoir upon actuation thereof by a user; a mounting recess defined in a back wall of said housing, said recess circumscribed entirely by said back wall so as not to be visible from any side of said housing upon mounting said dispenser on a supporting wall, said recess further comprising first interlock surfaces; a mounting bracket configured for attachment to a supporting wall surface, said bracket comprising complimentary second interlock surfaces shaped to releasably engage and interlock with said first interlock surfaces in said mounting recess; and said bracket comprising a shape so as to fit substantially entirely within said mounting recess, said bracket further comprising at least one dimensional characteristic that is larger than the corresponding dimensional characteristic of said mounting recess such that said recess is caused to deform upon mounting said housing to said bracket to accommodate said corresponding dimensional characteristic thereby resulting in a secure engagement between said bracket and said housing.
