The invention relates to a support member and dispensing container assembly for gels or liquids. A support member (51) rigidly attaches to a support structure. A free standing, self contained, fully sealed "squeeze to use' dispensing container (1) for gels or liquids has first and second ends (2A,2B) and features a dispensing aperture (3) at the first end of the container to dispense product. Container (1) is connected to and released from the support member (51) solely by holding and manipulating the container relative to the support member. The engagement means comprises a first component at a mid section along the length of the dispensing container and a second component of the support member (51), which releasably interlocks by rotating the container at right angles to the axis of the length of the dispensing container in a first direction relative to the support member so as to provide a substantially rigid interlock between the container and support member, and the first component releasing from the support member by rotating the container relative to the support member in a second opposite direction. In use, the support member orientates the dispensing container in an inverted state with the first end (2a) facing downwards and enables the user unrestricted access to the sides of the container to enable product to be squeezed from the container. An alternative container has at least one projection or recess. A support member supports the container, and has at least one co-operating recess or projection to engage with the or each container projection or recess respectively to releasably secure the container to the support member, formed in deformable material of the container and/or support member whereby the or each container projection or recess can releasably engage with the or each support member recess or projection by deformation of the material. |
