Abstract
A liquid dispenser is associated with a flush lavatory to enable disenfectant or liquid to be dispensed into the lavatory. The liquid dispenser has a reservoir, a pump and an outlet conduit. The liquid dispenser is preferably located in the cistern of the lavatory and liquid may be dispensed into the cistern or directly into the lavatory bowl. Normally, a part of the pump extends through the wall or lid of the cistern, and that part may be removable from a sleeve of the pump to enable the reservoir to be filled through that sleeve. A slot and a projection may be provided to cause the removable part to engage with the sleeve to prevent accidental removal.
