Dispenser assembly
A dispenser assembly for dispensing a liquid product includes a bottle configured to store the product, a venting pump connected to the bottle and configured to control dispensing of the product from the bottle, a mounting component, and an enclosure connected to the mounting component and engaging the bottle, wherein the enclosure is movable relative to the mounting component between an open configuration and a closed configuration, and wherein the bottle is selectively removable from the enclosure when the enclosure is in the open configuration.
1. A method of assembling a dispenser assembly for dispensing a liquid product, the method comprising:
connecting a venting pump to a bottle configured to store the product, the venting pump configured to control dispensing of the product from the bottle;
connecting an enclosure in an open configuration to a mounting component;
inserting the bottle into the enclosure while the enclosure is in the open configuration; and
moving the enclosure relative to the mounting component to transition the enclosure into a closed configuration that secures the bottle within the enclosure;
wherein connecting an enclosure comprises connecting an enclosure that includes a top portion, a pair of ribs extending from the top portion, and a handle portion extending between the pair of ribs, and wherein inserting the bottle comprises inserting a bottle that includes a bulge sized to be positioned within an aperture defined by the top portion, the pair of ribs, and the handle portion.
2. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein connecting an enclosure comprises connecting an enclosure that includes a pair of symmetrical brackets that directly engage corresponding flanges on the venting pump.
3. A method in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising connecting a bracing component to the mounting component, the bracing component including an arcuate wall and a plurality of joists that engage and support the venting pump.
4. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein inserting the bottle comprises inserting a bottle that includes a neck portion that engages the venting pump, and a top opposite the neck portion, wherein the top is substantially flat such that the bottle is invertible and capable of being stood on a flat surface in an inverted position.
5. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein connecting a venting pump to a bottle comprises connecting a venting pump that includes a collar portion, the collar portion having a plurality of vent holes defined therein that form a vent path, the vent path allowing ambient air to flow into and out of the bottle when the product is dispensed from the bottle.
6. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein connecting an enclosure to a mounting component comprises engaging two tracks formed on the mounting component with corresponding extensions formed on the enclosure, each track including a side face and a lip extending perpendicularly from the side face.
