Abstract
Abstract A liquid soap dispenser whose container is formed of flexible plastic material and is provided with a flat rear wall and an externally-threaded nipple projecting from the front wall adjacent the base. The nipple has a cap screwed thereon which incorporates a pivoted spigot that when folded in seals the nipple and when folded out creates an outlet from which liquid soap is discharged when the front wall is pressed. Secured to the rear wall is a pad whose outer surface has a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive thereon. Also provided is a base sheet whose area is greater than that of the pad, the sheet having a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating on its underface, making it possible to adhere and conform the sheet to a selected wall site, after which the container pad is pressed against the central zone of the sheet to securely anchor the dispenser on the wall.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
223 words
A liquid soap dispenser and wall mounting assembly adapted to mount the dispenser on a wall in a manner whereby the dispenser is securely anchored thereon comprising: A. a wall container filled with liquid soap and having a flat rear wall to which is attached a pad having a high-strength per unit area pressure-sensitive adhesive on its outer face; B. an outlet projecting from the front face of the container adjacent the base thereof to discharge the liquid soap; and C. a flexible base sheet formed of plastic film material normally separated from said pad and having a larger area than that of the pad, said sheet having an undersurface coated with a relatively low-strength per unit area pressure-sensitive adhesive, making it possible to press the base sheet onto a selected site on a wall to adhere and conform thereto, after which the pad may be pressed against the outer face thereof to support the container from the wall, said base sheet acting as a load distributor for the container and being highly resistant to shearing forces, the dispenser upon exhaustion of the soap being removable from the wall simply by peeling the base sheet from the wall, said pad being a double-faced pad of pressure-sensitive material whose inner face adheres to said rear wall and whose outer face to said base sheet.
