Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 209 words
A shampoo dispenser comprising a case fitted with a removable cover, said case having a rear wall with a projection therefrom having means for attachment to a wall provided on said projection, in combination with a valved outlet at the base of the case said valve having components relatively movable in a vertical plane to effect opening and closing of the outlet wherein said means comprises a suction cup, in further combination with a spring secured to the cup at one end and aligned with the suction cup axis normal to the support wall, said spring being secured at its opposite end to the case, wherein the vertical axis of the case is perpendicular to the said suction cup axis, said valve having a vertical plate adjacent a vertical wall of the case and in sliding abuttment therewith, both plate and vertical wall perforations generally aligned to form the case outlet and further including resilient means securing said plate movably in said case whereby said resilient means biases said plate to a normally closed position wherein the perforations are not aligned and whereby vibrational movement of the case relative to the suction cup will cause oscillatory movement of said plate to periodic positions wherein said perforations are in alignment.
