- the second locking portion 250 does not extend into the recess 172 between the second retention portion 170 and the second housing wall 145. In some examples, in the first position, the second locking portion 250 does not mate with the second locking recess 226 in the locking wall 212 when the locking structure 200 is in the first position. As such, in some examples, the second retention portion 170 is movable towards the second housing wall 145 to allow the retention structure 130 to move from the closed position to the opened position.
- the retention structure 130 can be moved from the closed position (illustrated in FIG. 2) to the opened position.

- the second end 244 of the first locking portion 240 will contact the projection 220 of the locking wall 212, such that the first locking portion 240 is biased away from the locking wall 212 by the projection 220. This biasing can cause the second locking portion 250 to remain mated with the second locking recess 226, thus limiting the likelihood of the second locking portion 250 disengaging from the second locking recess 226.
- the second end 254 of the second locking portion 250 can extend into the recess 172.
- the second locking portion 250 of the locking structure 200 when in the second position, can extend into the recess 172 between the second retention portion 170 and the second housing wall 145.
- the second retention portion 170 is not movable towards the second housing wall 145 when the locking structure 200 is in the second position.
- the second locking portion 250 can include a dimension that substantially matches a dimension of the recess 172, such that the second retention portion 170 is generally limited from flexing into the recess 172.

- the second retention portion 170 can engage the second end 254 of the second locking portion 250 when the locking structure 200 is in the second position. As such, the retention structure 130 is not movable from the closed position to the opened position in the absence of the keying structure 186 engaging the retention structure 130.

- the keying structure 186 can engage the first retention portion 150.
- the first retention portion 150 can flex inwardly away from the first housing wall 143.
- This flexion of the first retention portion 150 can cause the first retention portion 150 to disengage from the gripping portion 160.
- the retention structure 130 can be moved to the opened position. In an example, during this movement, the first retention portion 150 and second retention portion 170 are withdrawn from the housing opening 152 as the retention structure 130 is rotated about the attachment portion 139 in a clockwise direction.
- the locking structure 200 can be selectively moved from the second position back to the first position. For example, a user can contact the textured surface 246 and provide a pushing force onto the locking structure 200. This force can disengage the engagement portion 260 from the second locking recess 226. With the engagement portion 260 disengaged from the second locking recess 226, the user can move the locking structure 200 towards the first end 204 and, thus, back to the first position.
- FIG. 6 the dispensing system 100 is illustrated with the retention structure 130 in the closed position. It will be appreciated that the dispensing system 100 is illustrated without the dispenser 102.
- the locking structure 200 can be positioned in the first position (as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3) or the second position (as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5).
- the dispensing system is illustrated with the retention structure 130 in the opened position. It will be appreciated that the dispensing system 100 is again illustrated without the dispenser 102 in this example.
- the retention structure 130 can be moved from the closed position to the opened position in multiple ways. For example, when the locking structure 200 is in the first position, the second end 136 of the retention structure 130 can be compressed in response to the force 300. In such an example, the retention structure 130 can be unlocked, such that the retention structure 130 is movable from the closed position to the opened position in the absence of the keying structure 186 engaging the retention structure 130.
- the retention structure 130 can be moved from the closed position to the opened position when the locking structure 200 is in the second position.
- the keying structure 186 can be inserted into the keying feature 180.
- the keying structure 186 can engage and flex the first retention portion 150. This flexion can cause the first retention portion 150 to disengage from the gripping portion 160.
- the retention structure 130 can be moved from the closed position to the opened position.
- the dispenser 102 can be inserted into the housing 120 when the retention structure 130 is in the opened position.
- the dispenser 102 can be positioned to rest upon the base portion 122.
- the nozzle 108 of the dispenser 102 can extend between the retention structure 130 and the housing 120.
- the locking structure 200 can be adjusted between the first position and the second position. With the locking structure 200 set and the dispenser 102 supported by the housing, the retention structure 130 can be closed, such that the dispenser 102 is limited from inadvertent removal from the housing 120.
- the method 900 can be used in association with some or all of the features illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 8.
- the method 900 includes receiving into the housing 120 the dispenser 102.
- the method 900 includes maintaining the dispenser 102 in a fixed position relative to the housing 120 with the retention structure 130.
- the retention structure can be movable with respect to the housing 120 between the opened position, in which the dispenser 102 is removable from the housing 120, and the closed position, in which the retention structure 130 maintains the dispenser 102 in the fixed position.
- the method 900 includes locking the retention structure 130 in the closed position such that the retention structure 130 is not movable from the closed position to the opened position in the absence of the keying structure 186 engaging the retention structure 130.
- first,” “second,” or the like are not intended to imply a temporal aspect, a spatial aspect, an ordering, etc. Rather, such terms are merely used as identifiers, names, etc. for features, elements, items, etc.
- a first end and a second end generally correspond to end A and end B or two different or two identical ends or the same end.
- exemplary is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, illustration, etc., and not necessarily as advantageous.
- “or” is intended to mean an inclusive “or” rather than an exclusive “or”.
- “a” and “an” as used in this application are generally to be construed to mean “one or more” unless specified otherwise or clear from context to be directed to a singular form.
- at least one of A and B or the like generally means A or B or both A and B.
