Abstract

Claims (19)

1. A flush mount dispensing bottle and bracket comprising:

a bracket having a mounting flange and a threaded hub, upstanding from the flange; and

a bottle having a flat back with an embossment for receiving the hub and the flange to enable the flat back to flushly contact a surface supporting said bracket, said embossment including a grooved central recess for engaging said threaded hub for enabling rotation of said bottle, with respect to said bracket, to secure and release said bottle to and from said bracket.

2. The bottle and bracket according to claim 1 wherein said mounting flange includes slots for receiving threaded screws for fixing said bracket to said surface, and said embossment includes a circular groove surrounding the central recess for receiving the screw heads to both enable the flat back to flushly contact the surface and rotate to cause securing and releasing said bottle to and from said bracket.

3. The bottle and bracket according to claim 1 wherein the hub threads and central recess threads are left-handed to enable clockwise rotation of said bottle with respect to said bracket to release said bottle from said bracket.

4. The bottle and bracket according to claim 1 further comprising a plunger type dispenser disposed at a top of said bottle along an axis dissecting the central recess in order that actuation of said plunger does not apply any rotation torque to the bottle thus preventing dislodgement of said bottle from said bracket.

5. The bottle and bracket according to claim 2 wherein said mounting flange is circular.

6. The bottle and bracket according to claim 5 wherein said embossment is circular.

7. The bottle and bracket according to claim 1 wherein the threads and grooves enable engagement and disengagement of the bottle to and from the bracket by a 90° rotation of the bottle.

8. A surface mounted dispensing system:

a bracket having a circular flange and a central hub protruding therefrom, the hub having threads therein;

a bottle having a flat back with a circular embossment for receiving the flange and the hub, the embossment having a depth for enabling the flat back to flushly contact a surface supporting the flange, said embossment including a grooved central recess for engaging the hub threads, rotation of said bottle in one direction causing the bottle to be secured on said bracket and rotation is an opposite direction causing release of the bottle from said bracket.

9. The system according to claim 8 wherein said circular flange includes slots for receiving headed screws for fixing said bracket to said surface, and said embossment includes a circular groove surrounding the central recess for receiving the screw heads both enable the flat back to flushly contact the surface and rotate for securing and releasing said bottle to and from said bracket.

10. The system according to claim 8 wherein the hub threads and central recess grooves are left-handed to enable clockwise rotation of said bottle with respect to said bracket to release said bottle from said bracket.

11. The system according to claim 8 further comprising a plunger type dispenser disposed at a top of said bottle along an axis dissecting the central recess in order that actuation of said plunger does not apply any rotation torque to the bottle thus preventing dislodgement of said bottle from said bracket.

12. The system according to claim 8 wherein said embossment is circular.

13. The system according to claim 8 further comprises a plurality of the bottles each removably fixable to said bracket.

14. The system according to claim 8 wherein the thread and grooves enable engagement and disengagement of the bottle to and from the bracket by a rotation of the bottle.

15. The system according to claim 14 wherein the rotation is 180°.
