Abstract

A wall-mounted metering dispenser for liquids, comprising a wall mounting element, on which a reservoir is detachably mounted, which can be actuated by applying compressive force to the reservoir wall. The reservoir and removal device form an exchangeable refilling unit, detachably connectable to the wall mounting element at two fastening points, the first fastening point is a connecting element detachably mounted on the wall mounting element and the second fastening point engages at the end face area of the reservoir facing away from the connecting element such that the refilling unit is secured against forces acting in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The second fastening point has a fastening hook. In the mounted position of the refilling unit, the fastening hook is inserted into a depression on the end face area of the reservoir facing away from the connecting element so the refilling unit is secured against swiveling.

Claims (4)

1. A wall-mounted metering dispenser ( 1 ) for liquids, comprising a wall holder ( 2 ) on which there is releasably retained a storage container ( 3 ) formed of an elastic material, that is exposed and can be subjected to pressure at least in a compliant sub-region of a container wall thereof, and from which the liquid is removable via a removal device which is openable or actuable by pressure activation of the container wall, the storage container ( 3 ) and the removal device form an exchangeable refill unit which has first and second spaced-apart fastening points ( 4 , 5 ), the refill unit is releasably connectable to the wall holder ( 2 ) at the two spaced-apart fastening points ( 4 , 5 ), of which the first fastening point ( 4 ) is a connecting element ( 6 ) that is retained releasably on the wall holder, and the second fastening point acts on an end face region ( 7 ) of the storage container ( 3 ) that is remote from the connecting element ( 6 ) so that the refill unit is mountable on the wall holder ( 2 ), between the fastening points ( 4 , 5 ), in a manner secured against forces that act in longitudinal and transverse directions of the wall-mounted metering dispenser ( 1 ), the second fastening point ( 5 ) has a fastening hook ( 10 ) that projects beyond the wall holder ( 2 ), the fastening hook ( 10 ), in the retained position of the refill unit, is inserted in an appropriately shaped depression ( 11 ), which is provided at least on the end face region ( 7 ) of the storage container ( 3 ) that is remote from the connecting element ( 6 ), so that the refill unit is also secured against pivoting about its longitudinal axis, and the connecting element ( 6 ) which serves as the first fastening point and is releasably retained on the wall holder ( 2 ) is secured therein by an anti-theft device, which has at least one latching hook ( 14 ) that projects from the connecting element ( 6 ), a free latching hook end of the latching hook ( 14 ) is releasably latchable into a latching hook catch ( 34 ) in the wall holder ( 2 ) such that a latching hook projection ( 16 ) engages behind an undercut ( 35 ) provided on the latching hook catch ( 34 ) and the latching hook ( 14 ) is movable or deflectable from a locked or latched position, counter to an inherent elasticity, that serves as a restoring force, of the hook material, into a released or unlocked position by a releasing tool ( 18 ) that is introducible into the anti-theft device, the connecting element is configured, at least in a sub-region ( 9 ), as a closure cap which is assigned to the storage container and acts on the refill unit in a region of a container neck or bottle neck ( 3 ), and the depression ( 11 ) has at least one first depression section ( 12 ) provided on the end face region of the storage container ( 3 ) that is remote from the retaining sleeve ( 6 ), and a second depression section ( 13 ) arranged on a circumferential wall of the storage container ( 3 ).

2. The wall-mounted metering dispenser as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and the second depression sections ( 12 , 13 ) merge into one another via a peripheral region surrounding the end face region ( 7 ) of the storage container ( 3 ).

3. The wall-mounted metering dispenser as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wall holder ( 2 ) has a fastening plate ( 19 ).

4. The wall-mounted metering dispenser as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the storage container ( 3 ) has a substantially cylindrical circumferential wall.
