Apparatus for mounting a tissue roll and dispensing a flowable substance

Apparatus for rotatably mounting a roll of tissue in a holder and for dispensing a foam substance, comprising:

• a canister comprising a body containing a foamable liquid under pressure, and a discharge nozzle at one end of said body, said canister adapted to be disposed coaxially in a core of a tissue roll,
• support means mounted on said canister body and including first and second support members disposed at opposite ends of said canister body, said first and second support members carrying first and second mounting means, respectively, which are coaxial and rotatably mountable in a holder, and
• a dispensing handle mounted to said second support member and extending laterally therefrom, said handle including a passage one end of which communicates with said canister nozzle and an opposite end of which defines a discharge outlet, said passage including an expansion chamber disposed immediately upstream of said discharge outlet to reduce the speed of the foamable liquid emitted from said canister nozzle and flowing through said passage, said handle being displaceable to depress said canister nozzle to cause the liquid to be emitted.
