Abstract
Abstract A dispenser for dispensing viscous material from a container having an elongate, flexible dispensing tube includes a back plate for wall mounting and a cover, hingedly connected to said back plate and movable between open and closed positions with respect thereto. A normally concealed but accessible latch mechanism is carried by the back plate and the cover for releasably securing the cover in its closed position. The back plate has an integral seat for reception of the container and a tube receiving member for seating and locating the tube which extends from the container. A dispensing bar is hingedly mounted on the back plate and carries a resiliently mounted pressure member. The dispensing bar and pressure member are normally urged into engagement with the tube and toward the back plate when the tube is held in the tube receiving member and are further movable into collapsing relationship with the tube upon the application of hand pressure to the dispensing bar. The cover has a through opening in its front wall whereby the dispensing bar is accessible when the cover is in closed position. The cover also has a through opening in its bottom wall so that the end of the tube may be projected therethrough whereby the material being dispensed can be dispensed into the hand of the user upon application of pressure to the dispensing bar.
