Abstract
Abstract The disclosure is directed to the combination of a container for dispensing liquid from an inverted position and a hanger device for suspending the container in an inverted position from the wall of a water closet. The hanger device is an L-shaped metal strip rotatably connected to the end wall off-center to the container. In the closed, or storage, position the end portion of the hanger device fits snugly against the side of the container end wall. In the open position the end of the hanger device extends beyond the end wall and engages the wall of the water closet.
