Abstract

A soap dispenser includes a pump assembly having an outwardly extending reciprocal plunger. A handle assembly is pivotally mounted to the pump assembly and includes an outwardly projecting operating handle. There is a discharge tube in the handle assembly which has an outlet adjacent the end of the handle. A connector is seated on the pump assembly and is attached to the handle assembly. The discharge tube which is attached to the connector, in cooperation with the connector and the pump assembly plunger, provides a soap passage, normally filled with soap, which extends between the pump assembly and the outlet. There is a check valve in the soap passage. Pivotal movement of the handle has the effect of moving the pump assembly plunger in an inward direction resulting in a measured amount of soap being moved through the soap passage and discharged from the outlet.
