of the cabinet with a series of lock tabs 10, 11, 12 which are
inaccessible such that the housing can only be opened by
someone with a special tool. Zlotnik teaches (column 1, lines
56-68) that
Preferably the frame is generally C-shaped having an
integrally formed back plate, top plate and bottom plate.
The lock tabs are mounted on the top and bottom plates
and also on the inner surfaces of the housing near its
back edge. The lock tabs on the top and bottom plates
engage the lock tabs on the inner surfaces of the housing
to prevent the housing from being pulled forward and
removed. Only by depressing the front tip of both the top
plate and the bottom plate, preferably with a special
tool, can the lock tabs on both plates be shifted to
permit the lock tabs on the housing to be disengaged,
thereby permitting housing to be removed completely.
In addition, Zlotnik discloses (column 2, lines 49-52)
that frame 3 (including its back plate 13, top plate 14 and
bottom plate 15) can be constructed of any kind of durable,
flexible and tamper-resistant material and that polypropylene
is a good example of such a material. Zlotnik further teaches
(column 3, line 64, to column 4, line 6) that
The upper surface of the bottom plate 15 is adapted to
slidably receive a base tray 16 which preferably contains
the deodorant. This permits the spent deodorant to be
replaced very easily. The base tray 16 is multifunctional
and can accept liquid deodorant canisters, square porous
membrane deodorant bars or hardened cylindrical deodorant
discs.
