2119234 9307798 PCTABS00021 An apparatus (12) for dispensing solid (18) or semi-solid detergents includes a hollow elongated opening or chute (16) and an arcuate plate (28) that extends from the side wall of the apparatus to beneath the chute. This plate provides a planar support (17) for a detergent bar (18) placed within the chute. Water (22) is sprayed down the arcuate plate (28) and projects against the detergent (18) supported on the planar support (17) causing it to dissolve and flow down a drain (23). The chute has a unique geometric design which is suitable to receive only one uniquely shaped elongated detergent bar. In a kitchen having several detergent dispensers, each detergent dispenser will have a uniquely defined chute so that only the appropriate detergent can be used in the appropriate dispenser.
