Abstract

A hanger for supporting a toilet tank chemical dispensing apparatus which attaches to the top edge of the tank and which incorporates a tilt compensating feature to accommodate non-vertical toilet tank walls. The dispenser is preferably so mounted on the inner leg of a generally U-shaped hanger which contacts the innermost surface of the toilet tank wall as to be vertically adjustable. The outer leg of the hanger contacts the outermost surface of the toilet tank wall at a pivot point. Resilient means, which direct a force between the inner leg and the inside surface of the toilet tank wall at a point above the pivot point, coact with the pivot point to produce a coupled force system. The coupled force system causes the hanger and dispenser adjustably secured thereto to rotate about the pivot point into a position in which the lowermost end of the dispenser is held adjacent the tank wall, thereby maintaining the dispenser as close to vertical as is feasible despite the tilt inherent in the toilet tank wall.
