Abstract

An adjustable mounting device for mounting a dispenser to a conventional bathroom tissue fixture having a pair of oppositely disposed recesses. The dispenser includes a housing. The housing includes a first support member and a second support member, each of these support members being partially disposed within the housing. The first support member has a first distal end and the second support member has a second distal end along a lateral axis. The first and second distal ends are engageable with the oppositely disposed recesses by relative motion between the first and second support members. The housing may have a particular configuration to assist in mounting the dispenser to a conventional bathroom tissue fixture and/or the housing can be independent of and completely separable from the dispenser and/or an attachment mechanism separate from and connected to the housing can be adapted to attach the dispenser to the housing.
