Alternatively, an embodiment of the dispenser with the holding element in one piece is also possible. Finally, it should also be indicated that the reference numbers used in the claims are in no way meant to limit the scope of protection of the present invention, but are only meant to refer to the examples of embodiments as shown in the figures.

Fig. 1 shows a holding device according to the invention, in total marked with the reference number 10, having a holding part 20, a receiving part 22 and a supporting part 24. In the side view of Fig. 1 it can be clearly seen that the holding part 20 is connected with the supporting part 24 via a transition part formed as an offset 56, in a way that a surface of the supporting part 24 is at a higher level than a surface of the holding part 20.

The holding device 10 furthermore has a rib element 46.1 arranged on the supporting part 24, which merges into an upper reinforcing element 54.1, in a side view shaped approximately triangularly, preferred in the form of an isosceles triangle. This upper reinforcing element 54.1 is connected with the surface of the holding part 20 as well as with the surface of the offset 56. Further, a lower reinforcing element 52.1 is provided, which is connected with the supporting part 24 on the inner side of the offset 56 and on the bottom side of the supporting part 24, and which is also shaped approximately triangularly in a side view.

Fig. 2 shows the holding device according to Fig. 1 in a perspective plan view. Here, the holding part 20 has at its longitudinal sides and in the area of an end side 19 latching means 21.1 and 21.2, shaped as snap-in noses. The areas of the longitudinal sides of the holding part 20 located in front of these latching means 21.1 and 21.2 are formed as protrusions, and especially serve as holding means for introducing into guide rails of a dispenser, which are not shown here (see Fig. 9 to Fig. 11).

The supporting part 24 has two portions 42 and 44, being formed laterally reversed towards each other in a similar form. These have rib elements 46.1 respectively 46.2 on the surfaces 48 and 50 of the portions 42 and 44. The rib elements 46.1 and 46.2 provide with their upper edges a bearing surface, but also an adjustment for the container received in the dispenser, which is not shown here (see Fig. 9 to Fig. 11), wherein the container also remains in contact with the surfaces 48 and 50 of the portions 42 and 44. In this way, a bearing surface 26 for the container not shown here, is provided.

The receiving part 22 is formed like an oblong hole, and has a first and a second guide wall 30 respectively 32, as well as a reception 34, which comprises the guide walls 30 and 32. The reception 34 (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) is in its end region with its inner contour adapted to the outer contour of a connecting element which can be inserted into the reception 34 of the receiving part 22 (see Fig. 6 to Fig. 8). A second protrusion 38 is arranged in the end region of the second guide wall 32, and correspondingly, on the opposite side (here not shown) at the first guide wall 30 there is a first protrusion 36 (see fig. 3 and Fig. 4). The receiving part 22 has an upper portion 23.1 and a lower portion 23.2 with different inner diameters d1 respectively d2 (see Fig. 3), wherein the inner diameter d2 of the lower portion 23.2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper portion 23.1. Correspondingly, a lower portion is formed in the area of the first and the second guide wall 30 respectively 32, which apart from the area of the protrusion 38 respectively 36 also has a lower inner diameter d2 than the upper portion 23.1 with an inner diameter d1. This provides via the guide walls 30 respectively 32 a rail-like guiding to facilitate the insertion of the connecting element not shown here, into the holding device 10. This guide rail merges without a step into the protrusions 36 respectively 38 and into the actual reception 34.

The rib-like elements 46.1 and 46.2 merge into upper reinforcing elements 54.1 and 54.2, being formed identically to each other.

Fig. 3 shows in a side view very clearly the different inner diameters d1 of the first portion 23.1 and d2 of the second portion 23.2, wherein diameter d2 is lower than diameter d1. The two protrusions 36 respectively 38 can also be seen very clearly in this figure, as well as the arrangement of lower reinforcing elements 52.1 and 52.2, as already described in Fig. 2. Reference number 56 marks an offset in Fig. 3, which is provided due to the differing inner diameters d1 and d2 being present in the total area of the receiving part 22, and which facilitates the insertion of the connecting element not shown here.

Fig. 4 in particular shows the embodiment of the protrusions 36 and 38, being arranged in the end region of the first and second guide walls 30 and 32 in the receiving part 22, exactly in the transition area towards the end region of the actual reception 34. A recess 40.1 respectively 40.2 is provided between the guide walls 30 and 32 in the area of the protrusions 36 and 38, which gives a certain elasticity to the protrusions 36 and 38, and provides a kind of snap mechanism for the connecting element to be inserted which is not shown here, which gives the connecting element a safe hold and sufficient positioning. In this embodiment, the positioning is supported by the offset 56. the depth of the recesses 40.1 and 40.2 determines the elasticity respectively flexibility of the protrusions 36 and 38. Preferably, the recesses 40.1 and 40.2 have a depth which approximately corresponds to the strength of the guide rail formed on the inner side of the guide walls 30 and 32. Further preferred, the depth of the recesses 40.1 and 40.2 can extend beyond the above defined strength.

Fig. 5 to Fig. 8 show an arrangement of the holding element 10 according to the invention with a connecting element 16. Fig. 5 shows this arrangement in a side view, wherein the lower, approximately in parallel to the holding device 10 aligned tube part 66 as well as a receiving area 68 can be seen very clearly, which enables to receive especially an actuating device for a pump, here not shown in more detail, and the pump itself in the connecting element 16.

Moreover, Fig. 7 shows the interaction of the holding device 10 with the connecting element 16 upon receiving in the end region of the reception 34 in the area of the protrusions 36 and 38, and the assignment of the setback 65 in the part tube section 62 of the upward tube part 60 to the rail-like offset 56, which is continued in the area of the reception 34 of the receiving part 22. Fig. 8 shows in a plan view the arrangement of the holding device 10 and the connecting element 16.

Fig. 9 shows a part of a housing 70 of a dispenser with a holding device 10 connected detachably with it. The housing 70 is here formed of a first side wall 72 and a second side wall 74 as well as of a rear wall 88. The rear wall has in its upper region a locking mechanism 83.1. In its lower region at the first and correspondingly also at the second side wall 72 respectively 74, a joint 84.1 respectively 84.2 (see Fig. 11) is arranged, and a movable cover can be arranged at it.

The holding device 10 is received in guide rails 76 with its holding part 20 and with its longitudinal sides having an offset, the guide rails 76 being arranged on surfaces of the side walls 72 facing an interior of the housing 70, exactly four on each side. In addition, a latching is made by latching means not shown here, of the holding part 20 in recesses in the transition of the first and second side walls 72 respectively 74 into the rear wall 88 of the housing 70.

Fig. 10 now shows a dispenser 14 with a container 121 inserted in it, the part of the housing according to Fig. 9 and the holding device 10 detachably connected with it. It can be seen especially clearly that the container 12 lies with a bottom 90 on the surfaces of the portions 42 and 44 of the supporting part 24 via rib elements 46.1 and 46.2, respectively is aligned by them, also due to curves in the bottom area of the container 12. In this embodiment, the bottom 90 is at least in contact with the upper edge of the rib elements 46.1 and 46.2. Preferably and as in the embodiment according to Fig. 10 shown, the bottom 90 of the container 12 is additionally in contact with a part of the surfaces 48 and 50 of the portions 42 and 44 of the supporting part 24, being near the guide walls 30 and 32.

Moreover, it can be seen that the connecting element 16 has at its lower tube part 66 arranged an actuating device 86 for a pump being arranged in the connecting element 16, and by pressing it respectively executing action, the user can receive a liquid product, especially a soap, also as a foam, from the container 12 of the dispenser 14.

The container 12 is furthermore orientated by latching means 80.1 and 80.2 shaped approximately mushroom-like as seen in a side view, which are arranged in a rail 81 in the upper area of the housing 70 at the rear wall 88 of it. The latching means 80.1 and 80.2 are arranged movably in the rail 81, and even more than the two latching means 80.1 and 80.2 as shown in Fig. 10 can be provided. Via the semicircular shape of the head of these latching means 80.1 and 80.2, the container 12 is pressed in the direction onto the supporting part 24 of the holding device 10, which secures a safe hold of the container 12 in the dispenser 14. In addition, the latching means 80.1 and 80.2 also provide the container with a positioning as this is also achieved by connecting the container 12 with the connecting element 16, which fits tightly but detachably in the holding device 10.

Fig. 11 shows the complete dispenser 14 with a cover 82, from which also the further element 83.2, being part of the locking mechanism, can be seen, as well as the joints 84.1 and 84.2.

Fig. 12 to Fig. 15 show a second embodiment of the holding device 10 according to the invention. For this embodiment, same reference numbers were used for same parts as for the embodiment according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4. Consequently, in the following, particularly the differences will be outlined.

Fig. 12 shows the second embodiment of the holding device 10 in a side view. This second embodiment differs from the first embodiment according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 in a way that in addition, guiding means 28.1 and 28.2 (see Fig. 13) are provided, being arranged at the supporting part 24. The arrangement is especially made starting from the portions 42 and 44 of the supporting part 24. Preferred, the guiding means 28.1 and 28.2 are arranged in pairs, in the second embodiment according to Fig. 12 in pairs opposite each other (see Fig. 13). The arrangement of the guiding means 28.1 and 28.2 is made in the edge region, starting from the surface 48 of the portions 42 and 44 of the supporting part 24. The guiding means 28.1 and 28.2 are formed slightly convex outwards and for the most part protrude beyond an outer edge of the portions 42 and 44 of the supporting part 24, as it can especially be taken from Fig. 14 and Fig. 15. By means of the slightly convex form of the guiding means 28.1 and 28.2, a container which can be inserted into the holding device 10, can be held more safely by them. Advantageously, in this embodiment a contour of an inner surface of the guiding means 28.1 and 28.2 is adapted to or at least similar to an outer contour of the bottom area of a container, as shown for example in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11.

Furthermore, the second embodiment of the holding device 10 has, compared to the first embodiment according to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, an extension 29 of the receiving part 22. The extension protrudes downwards beyond a lower surface of the holding part 20 and consists of at least one side wall 31. This side wall is formed as a circle and can in the second embodiment of the holding device 10 be addressed as a circular arc segment with an angle of 180°.

The extension 29 can furthermore and has in case of the second embodiment of the holding device 10, a bottom 27, in which a recess 25 is arranged. By means of this embodiment of the extension 29, a connecting element 16 can, as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 8 relating to the first embodiment of the holding device 10, be held more safely, in particular if the upper tube part 60 has a constriction in the region of the transition to the connecting area to the lower tube part 66, and only subsequently an expansion to an upper tube part 60, being essentially shaped with a circular cross section. The extension 29 serves on the one hand to safely receive the connecting element 16, on the other hand, the extension 29 also improves the mechanical strength and functionality of the holding device 10, because upon actuating a dispenser mechanism, preferred of a pump mechanism which can be inserted into the connecting element 16, forces are exerted on it, which are transferred via the extension 29 to the complete holding device 10 and diverted via the holding device 10 in case of arranging it in a housing of a dispenser.

Thus, the present invention advantageously provides a holding device, an arrangement comprising this holding device and a connecting means, as well as a dispenser with the holding device and the connecting means, which makes it possible for containers not being constructed in particular for a dispenser to be positioned via the holding device and to be arranged in it sufficiently safe and fixed in order to facilitate a smooth functioning of the complete dispenser.
