Claim:
A wall-mounted metering dispenser ( 1 ) for liquids, comprising a wall holder ( 2 ) on which there is releasably retained a storage container ( 3 ) formed of an elastic material, that is exposed and can be subjected to pressure at least in a compliant sub-region of a container wall thereof, and from which the liquid is removable via a removal device which is openable or actuable by pressure activation of the container wall, the storage container ( 3 ) and the removal device form an exchangeable refill unit which has first and second spaced-apart fastening points ( 4 , 5 ), the refill unit is releasably connectable to the wall holder ( 2 ) at the two spaced-apart fastening points ( 4 , 5 ), of which the first fastening point ( 4 ) is a connecting element ( 6 ) that is retained releasably on the wall holder, and the second fastening point acts on an end face region ( 7 ) of the storage container ( 3 ) that is remote from the connecting element ( 6 ) so that the refill unit is mountable on the wall holder ( 2 ), between the fastening points ( 4 , 5 ), in a manner secured against forces that act in longitudinal and transverse directions of the wall-mounted metering dispenser ( 1 ), the second fastening point ( 5 ) has a fastening hook ( 10 ) that projects beyond the wall holder ( 2 ), the fastening hook ( 10 ), in the retained position of the refill unit, is inserted in an appropriately shaped depression ( 11 ), which is provided at least on the end face region ( 7 ) of the storage container ( 3 ) that is remote from the connecting element ( 6 ), so that the refill unit is also secured against pivoting about its longitudinal axis, and the connecting element ( 6 ) which serves as the first fastening point and is releasably retained on the wall holder ( 2 ) is secured therein by an anti-theft device, which has at least one latching hook ( 14 ) that projects from the connecting element ( 6 ), a free latching hook end of the latching hook ( 14 ) is releasably latchable into a latching hook catch ( 34 ) in the wall holder ( 2 ) such that a latching hook projection ( 16 ) engages behind an undercut ( 35 ) provided on the latching hook catch ( 34 ) and the latching hook ( 14 ) is movable or deflectable from a locked or latched position, counter to an inherent elasticity, that serves as a restoring force, of the hook material, into a released or unlocked position by a releasing tool ( 18 ) that is introducible into the anti-theft device, the connecting element is configured, at least in a sub-region ( 9 ), as a closure cap which is assigned to the storage container and acts on the refill unit in a region of a container neck or bottle neck ( 3 ), and the depression ( 11 ) has at least one first depression section ( 12 ) provided on the end face region of the storage container ( 3 ) that is remote from the retaining sleeve ( 6 ), and a second depression section ( 13 ) arranged on a circumferential wall of the storage container ( 3 ).
