Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0209223A1] An improved liquid soap dispenser is described which essentially comprises a L-shaped wall bracket (1) provided with a lever and piston device (55, 56) to actuate a dispensing nozzle, connected to a tank (2) with a cover (3) mounted on the bracket. The dispensing nozzle (40) is directly fastened to the tank by means of a ring (50) which is preferably formed to incorporate a valve element of the nozzle. The tank may have an upstanding portion (20) for mounting and opening a disposable soap cartridge. As an alternative the liquid soap can also be contained directly in the tank (2), by pouring the same in bulk into the tank (2).
