Abstract

Fluid soap dispenser. Comprises a rear body (2) with wall mounting means and means for the removable support and coupling of a container bottle (10) for soap; a pivoting front cover (3), articulated pivotally to the rear body (2), and means for dispensing the soap, actuated when the cover (3) is pushed against the container bottle (10) and the latter against the rear body (2) by pressing the cover against the rear body. The means for the removable support and coupling of the soap container bottle comprise a projection (9) of the inner wall of the rear body (2), adapted to collaborate with a complementary opening (30) with which the soap container bottle (10) is provided.

Claims

1. Fluid soap dispensing device, of the type comprising

a rear body (2) with wall mounting means (13-17) and means for the removable support and coupling (9, 11, 30) of a deformable soap container bottle (10),

a pivoting front cover (3), articulated pivotally to the rear body (2), and

means for dispensing soap, actuated when the front cover (3) is pressed against the container bottle (10) and against a projection (21) of the rear body (2), by making the front cover swing over the rear body, characterised in that the dispensing device (1) comprises also

means for supporting and housing (7, 22, 23) a tablet (8) of air-freshener by sublimation.

2. Fluid soap dispensing device (1), according to claim 1, characterised in that said means for supporting and housing a tablet (8) of air-freshener are offered by a support surface (7) provided above the soap container bottle (10).

3. Fluid soap dispensing device (1), according to claim 1, characterised in that it comprises an upper lid (4) for the air-freshener tablet (8), designed for mounting on the pivoting front cover (3).

4. Fluid soap dispensing device, according to claim 3, characterised in that said upper lid (4) for the tablet (8) comprises hinge means (5, 6) in relation to the rear body (2), and fixing means (18, 24, 25, 26) to the pivoting front cover (3), through which the pivoting front cover (3) is articulated pivotally to the rear body.

5. Fluid soap dispensing device, according to claim 4, characterised in that the hinge is of the pin and barrel type, with the pin (6) consisting of a cylindrical formation defined in the rear end of the upper lid (4), and the barrel (5) defined in the back upper part of the rear body (2).

6. Fluid soap dispensing device (1), according to claim 2, characterised in that said support surface (7) is essentially horizontal and is solidly joined to the rear body (2) of the dispenser (1).

7. Fluid soap dispensing device (1), according to claim 6, characterised in that it comprises means for fixing and retaining an air-freshener tablet (8), consisting of panels (22, 23) on said surface.

8. Fluid soap dispensing device (1), according to claim 1, characterised in that said removable support and coupling means (9, 11, 30) for a soap container bottle (10) comprise a projection (9) of the inner wall of the rear body, adapted to collaborate with a complementary opening (30) with which the soap bottle container is provided.

9. Fluid soap dispensing device (1), according to claim 8, characterised in that said opening (30) in the container bottle (10) is a through-hole.

10. Refill soap container bottle (10) for a soap dispenser according to claim 9, characterised in that it comprises an opening (30) adapted to collaborate with a projection (9) with which the rear body (2) of the dispenser (1) is provided.

11. Container bottle (10) according to claim 10, characterised in that said opening (30) is a through-hole.
