Abstract
A device and method for holding a container in an inverted position to assist in dispensing the contents of the container. A bracket and retaining band are doubled along the length of the container. The retaining band holds the bracket into abutment with the container. The bracket has a mounting portion or mechanism that allows the bracket to be hung from or mounted to a supporting structure. The bracket also includes a portion towards the opposite end of the bracket which stabilizes the bracket along the side of the container to resist rotation of the hook. The bracket and retaining band allow suspension of the container in an inverted position for easier dispension of the contents of the container.

7261221 - Inverted dispensing system and apparatus - Owned by Innovation and Design, Inc. (Bethlehem, GA)

A disposable inverted dispensing system for distributing a fluid for use in a shower is disclosed. The dispensing system includes a removable hooking device that is attachable to a surface which is exposable to moist conditions. A hook integral to the removable hooking device extends from the hooking device on a side opposite the surface when the hooking device is attached to the surface. A deformable container for containing the fluid has an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion defines a through-hole through the container, and the lower portion forms a container mouth through which the fluid is flowable. A dispensing valve and/or a cap is disposed over the mouth of the container for controlling the flow of the fluid. The container is positionable on the hooking device with the hook extending through the through-hole formed by the upper portion of the container so that the container hangs down from the hooking device.
