Abstract
A decorative window for use with a sanitary product dispenser such as a dispenser for dispensing tissue, paper towels or liquid soap. The window is substantially transparent and is mounted to the front cover of the dispenser. A decorative strip support releasably engages the window from within the dispenser. The decorative strip support member includes at least one flexible latch bar which is engageable with a latch bolt receptacle in the window. A decorative strip cut to the appropriate size can be inserted against the inside surface of the window with the decorative strip support removed. The decorative strip support can be reinserted against the window such that the latch bar engages the latch receptacle thus pressing and supporting the decorative strip between the window and the decorative strip support and automatically compensating for decorative strips of different thicknesses.
