4. The dispenser of claim 3 , wherein the rotatable bearing mount includes an inner race secured to the column, ball bearings, and an outer race that is rotatable about said ball bearings in relation to the inner race, and wherein said radial inward side of said dispensing units are mounted to said outer race, such that the dispensing units rotate about said column.

5. The dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the mechanism for engaging at least a portion of one of the plurality of dispensing units includes a worm gear driven by a motor and each dispensing unit includes a base portion having cams for engagement with said worm gear.

6. A dispenser apparatus for dispensing fluids, wherein an improvement of the dispenser comprising:

a centrally located support column;

a plurality of canisters, each canister of the plurality of canisters, is cantilever mounted to said support column at least at an upper section defined thereby;

at least one flange attached to said support column and corresponding to said at least one mounting bracket such that said mounting bracket is positioned within said flange for supporting said canister; and

at least one rotatable bearing mount corresponding to each flange, said rotatable bearing mount mounted to said support column and having a means for rotating canisters secured to said flange about said support column, and wherein said each canister, of the plurality of canisters, has a radially inward side, said radially inward side has at least one mounting bracket for mounting to said support column.

7. The dispenser of claim 6 , wherein said means for rotating is defined by having an outer race, rotatable about an inner race, said inner race being secured to said support column and said flange being secured to said outer race.

8. The dispenser of claim 7 further comprising a mechanism for engaging at least a portion of a canister, of said plurality of canisters, which when said mechanism is activated, the canisters are moved about said column.

9. A dispenser apparatus for dispensing fluids, wherein an improvement of the dispenser comprising:

a centrally located support column;

a plurality of canisters, each canister of the plurality of canisters, is cantilever mounted to said support column at least at an upper section defined thereby; and

a mechanism for engaging a portion of a canister, of said plurality of canisters, which when said mechanism is activated, the canisters are moved about said support column and wherein, the mechanism includes a worm gear for engaging a bottom portion of said canisters, and wherein said support column includes at least one annular flange rotatably attached to said column and each canister includes a bracket corresponding to said at least one annular flange and extending from a radial inward side defined on said canister wherein said brackets are mounted to said flange such that said canisters are cantilever mounted to said support column.

10. A dispenser apparatus comprising:

a centrally located vertically mounted column assembly;

a plurality of canisters, each canister, of the plurality of canisters, having a receptacle for holding a fluid and each receptacle includes a pump for dispensing the fluid held in a corresponding receptacle, each canister, of the plurality of canisters, being cantilever mounted to said column assembly at an upper section defined by said canisters;

a stationary dispensing station having a means for selectively actuating said pump for dispensing the fluid held in said corresponding receptacle; and

a mechanism for engaging a portion of one of the plurality of canisters, which when said mechanism is activated, the plurality of canisters are moved to align the pump and corresponding receptacle to said stationary dispensing station, wherein the fluid held in said receptacle is capable of being dispensed, and

wherein the mounting column assembly further includes a vertical column and at least one flange rotatably secured to said column and wherein each canister includes a corresponding bracket extending from a radial inward side defined on said canister, and said corresponding bracket is received by said flange and wherein the at least one flange is secured to a corresponding bearing mount secured to the column, the bearing mount having an inner portion secured to the column and having an outer portion rotatably secured to the inner portion such that when the canister moves, flange rotates with the outer portion of the bearing mount to rotate about the column.

11. The dispenser of claim 10 wherein said mechanism for engaging a portion of one of the plurality of canisters includes a worm gear defined to engage a cam extending from a bottom portion of a canister.
