Abstract

A wall-mountable liquid dispenser which combines functional and ornamental features in a visually pleasing and space efficient manner. The liquid dispenser includes a main body portion having front, rear, top, bottom and first and second side walls, integrally formed with each other, to define an interior bladder. The main body portion is configured to resemble a comfortably reclined hippopotamus and incudes plural projections which may be depressed to compress the bladder to force the ejection of liquid therefrom. The projections include a first, domed shaped, projection which resembles the stomach of the hippopotamus, a second, generally rectangular, projection which resembles the snout of the hippopotamus and a third, generally rectangular, projection which resembles a mattress on which the hippopotamus is reclined. An aperture is formed in the bottom wall thereof. A fill pipe having a sidewall which defines an interior passageway therein is fixedly attached to the rear wall and covers the aperture such that the fill pipe does not project into the bladder. Mounted to an exterior side surface of the fill pipe is a closeable valve having an interior passageway which may be selectively placed in fluid communication with the interior passageway of the fill pipe to provide a exit path for liquid held in the bladder.
