Abstract:
1. A dispenser for flowable materials comprising: a wall plate for mounting to a wall; a dispensing unit for removably mounting to the wall plate; the dispensing unit comprising an assembly of: a bottle-like reservoir having an exit opening, a piston pump mechanism having a piston chamber forming element coupled to the opening of the reservoir and a piston member reciprocally slidable in the piston chamber forming element for reciprocal sliding to dispense flowable material from the reservoir through an extension of the piston member extending outwardly from the piston chamber forming element, an actuator member having a support member fixedly coupled to the reservoir about its opening and a presser member engaging the piston extension and pivotally coupled to the support member for movement between an extended position and a retracted position, with a spring member biasing the presser member to the extended position, wherein manual movement of the presser member between an extended and a retracted position slides the piston member in the piston chamber forming element to dispense flowable material from the extension of the piston element, wherein the spring member comprises an elongate member coupled at one first end to one of the presser member and the support member and with the second end engaging the other of the presser member and the support member.
