Mountable replenishable dispensing system

A dispensing system for a personal-hygiene fluid, comprising:

• a support bracket including an upper panel forming a recess, wherein the upper panel includes at least one upwardly extending tab;
• a replaceable dispenser assembly including a container that holds the fluid and a delivery mechanism attached to the container, wherein the dispenser assembly includes a collar permanently affixed to the container and detachably coupled to the delivery mechanism, wherein the collar is removably received in the recess to removably mount the dispenser assembly to the support bracket, wherein the collar includes at least one slot that receives the tab when the collar is received in the recess with the dispenser assembly mounted to the support bracket, wherein the at least one slot in the collar is formed by at least one wing extending laterally from the collar, wherein the at least one wing interferes with the at least one tab to block the collar from being mounted into the recess unless the at least one slot and tab are aligned;
• and
• a shell that removably mounts to and cooperates with the support bracket to substantially enclose and obscure the container from view,
• wherein upon depletion of the fluid in the dispenser assembly, the shell can be removed from the support bracket, the dispenser assembly can be accessed and replenished with a fresh supply of the fluid, and the shell can be reinstalled onto the support bracket.

A dispensing system for a personal-hygiene fluid, comprising:

• a support bracket adapted to mount to a wall surface and including an upper panel forming a recess, wherein the upper panel includes at least one upwardly extending tab;
• a replaceable dispenser assembly including a pouch that holds the fluid, a collar permanently affixed to the pouch, and a manually operated dispensing pump assembly detachably coupled to the collar, wherein the collar includes two spaced-apart flanges and a channeled neck therebetween, wherein the channeled neck is removably received in the recess to removably mount the dispenser assembly to the support bracket, with the flanges positioned above and below the support bracket adjacent the recess to block vertical movement of the pouch relative to the support bracket, and with the pouch suspended from the upper panel, wherein a top one of the collar flanges includes at least one slot that receives the tab when the collar is received in the recess with the dispenser assembly mounted to the support bracket, wherein the at least one slot in the top flange is formed by at least one wing extending laterally from the top flange, wherein the at least one wing interferes with the at least one tab to block the collar from being mounted into the recess unless the at least one slot and tab are aligned;
• and
• a shell that removably mounts to and cooperates with the support bracket to substantially enclose and obscure the container from view, wherein the shell includes slide surfaces and the support bracket includes cooperating slide surfaces that engage with the shell slide surfaces so that the shell vertically slides on and off of the support bracket;
• wherein upon depletion of the fluid in the dispenser assembly, the shell can be removed from the support bracket, the dispenser assembly can be accessed and replenished with a fresh supply of the fluid, and the shell can be reinstalled onto the support bracket.

A replacement dispenser assembly holding a personal-hygiene fluid for use in a dispensing system including a support bracket with an upper panel forming a recess, wherein the upper panel of the support bracket includes at least one upwardly extending tab, the dispenser assembly comprising:

• a container that holds the fluid;
• a manually operated dispensing pump assembly;
• and
• a collar permanently affixed to the container and detachably coupled to the manually operated dispensing pump assembly, wherein the collar includes two spaced-apart flanges and a channeled neck therebetween, wherein the channeled neck is removably received in the recess to removably mount the dispenser assembly to the support bracket, with the flanges positioned above and below the support bracket adjacent the recess to block vertical movement of the container relative to the support bracket, wherein the collar includes at least one slot that receives the tab when the collar is received in the recess with the dispenser assembly mounted to the support bracket, wherein the at least one slot is formed by at least one wing extending laterally from the collar, wherein the at least one wing interferes with the at least one tab to block the collar from being mounted into the recess unless the at least one slot and tab are aligned,
• wherein upon depletion of the fluid in the dispenser assembly, the dispenser assembly can be accessed and replenished with a fresh supply of the fluid.
