Counter-mounted viscous liquid dispenser having improved reservoir assembly

A reservoir assembly for use with a counter-mounted dispenser having an actuator element operatively movable to cause a viscous liquid to be dispensed, said assembly comprising:

• a container housing having a top portion defining at least one actuator opening for receipt of the actuator element;
• a pump device located within said container housing and operative to pump the viscous liquid through a fluid outlet, said pump device comprising a cap element defining inner threads;
• a mounting structure fixedly connected to said container housing, said mounting structure having a threaded portion defining outer threads engaging said inner threads of said cap element;
• an engaging element operative to cause actuation of said pump device, said engaging element having a contact portion registered with said actuator opening so as to be engaged by the actuator element.

A reservoir assembly for use with a counter-mounted dispenser having an actuator element operatively movable to cause a viscous liquid to be dispensed, said assembly comprising:

• a container housing having a top portion defining at least one actuator opening for receipt of the actuator element, said top portion further including a plurality of bayonet tabs for effecting direct attachment to a canister top of the counter-mounted dispenser;
• a mounting structure fixedly connected to said top portion of said container housing;
• a pump device located within said container housing and attached to said mounting structure, said pump device being operative to pump the viscous liquid through a fluid outlet defined in said top portion of said container housing;
• an engaging element operative to cause actuation of said pump device, said engaging element having a contact portion registered with said actuator opening to be engaged by the actuator element;
• an elongate intake tube extending from said pump device to a bottom portion of said container housing;
• and
• a flexible delivery tube extending from said fluid outlet, said flexible delivery tube being slidable into and out of a delivery spout of the counter-mounted dispenser.

A counter-mounted viscous liquid dispenser apparatus, said apparatus comprising:

• A. a dispenser fixture including:
• i. a tubular delivery spout;
• ii. an actuator rod having a free distal end located below the counter, said actuator rod being reciprocatively movable;
• and
• iii. a fixed canister top having bayonet receiving slots;
• and
• B. a refill reservoir assembly including:
• i. a container housing having a top portion defining a pair of diametrically opposed actuator openings for receipt of the actuator element, said top portion further including a plurality of bayonet tabs for effecting direct attachment to said canister top via said bayonet receiving slots thereof;
• ii. a pump device located within said container housing, said pump device being operative to pump the viscous liquid through a fluid outlet defined in said top portion of said container housing;
• iii. an engaging element operative to cause actuation of said pump device, said engaging element having a contact portion registered with said actuator openings to be engaged by the actuator element;
• and
• iv. a flexible delivery tube extending from said fluid outlet, said flexible delivery tube being slidable into and out of said delivery spout of said dispenser fixture.
