Soap dispenser

1. A soap dispenser comprising:

a housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall and a rear wall; wherein the front and rear walls extend between the top and bottom walls;

a curved wall provided in an interior of the housing; said curved wall originating in the front wall and curving upwardly towards the top wall;

a first chamber defined within the housing, said first chamber being defined above the curved wall;

a second chamber defined within the housing; said second chamber being defined rearwardly and below the curved wall, wherein the curved wall separates the first chamber from the second chamber;

a first opening defined in the top wall and a second opening defined in the front wall; wherein the first and second openings are in fluid communication with the first chamber;

a connector assembly provided on the housing; said connector assembly circumscribing the first opening; said connector being adapted to secure the housing to a faucet; wherein the curved wall provides a first pathway through the housing along which water flows from the first opening to the second opening when the faucet is switched on.

2. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 1 , wherein the curved wall is concave in the first chamber and convex in the second chamber.

3. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 1 , further comprising a third opening defined in the housing; said third opening being in fluid communication with the second chamber.

4. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 3 , further comprising:

a fourth opening defined in the bottom wall of the housing, said fourth opening being in fluid communication with the second chamber; wherein the second chamber is adapted to retain a quantity of liquid soap therein.

5. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 4 , further comprising:

a roller assembly provided to selectively block the fourth opening; wherein the roller assembly is adapted to control a flow of liquid soap from the second chamber.

6. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 5 , wherein the roller assembly includes a ball socket; a roller ball that is reciprocally movable within the ball socket; and a spring that is situated between a top wall of the ball socket and the roller ball; and wherein the spring urges the roller ball into a position which closes the fourth opening.

7. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 3 , further comprising:

a door pivotally engaged with the housing adjacent the third opening; and wherein the door is movable between a closed position where access to the third opening is prevented; and an open position where access to the third opening is possible.

8. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 1 , wherein the curved wall is configured to cause laminar flow of water out of the second opening.

9. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 1 , wherein the connector assembly includes an aerator.

10. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 9 , wherein the connector assembly further includes a connector ring positioned concentrically around the aerator; and wherein the ring is adapted to be selectively rotated in a first direction to screw the aerator to threads on the faucet or to be rotated in a second direction to unscrew the aerator from threads on the faucet.

11. The soap dispenser as defined in claim 1 , further comprising a graphic image provided on an exterior surface of the housing adjacent the second opening; and wherein the graphic image is that of a face and the second opening forms a mouth on the face; and wherein water flowing out of the second opening has the appearance of a tongue extending out of the mouth.

12. A method of dispensing soap or water to a user comprising the steps of:

providing a soap dispenser comprising a housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall and a rear wall; wherein the front and rear walls extend between the top and bottom walls; a curved wall provided in an interior of the housing; said curved wall originating in the front wall and curving upwardly towards the top wall; a first chamber defined within the housing, said first chamber being defined above the curved wall; a second chamber defined within the housing; said second chamber being defined rearwardly and below the curved wall, wherein the curved wall separates the first chamber from the second chamber; a first opening defined in the top wall, a second opening defined in the front wall; and a third opening defined in the bottom wall; wherein the first and second openings are in fluid communication with the first chamber; and the third opening is in fluid communication with the second chamber and said second chamber contains a quantity of liquid soap; and a connector assembly provided on the housing and circumscribing the first opening;

securing the housing to an end of a faucet using the connector assembly;

positioning a user's hands beneath the third opening in the bottom wall of the dispenser;

contacting a roller ball extending from the bottom wall of the dispenser with the user's hand or hands;

pushing the roller ball upwardly toward a top end of the housing;

dispensing a first quantity of soap past the roller ball from the second chamber defined within the housing and into the user's hands; and

moving the user's hands downwardly when sufficient soap has been dispensed into user's hands.

13. The method as defined in claim 12 , further comprising the steps of:

switching on the faucet;

causing a quantity of water to flow along the curved wall from the first opening to the second opening;

dispensing the quantity of water from the second opening in the housing;

positioning the user's hands adjacent the second opening in the front wall of the housing;

allowing water to flow onto the user's hands from the second opening; and

switching off the faucet when sufficient water has been dispensed therefrom.
