A mounting device suitable for use with a conventional bathroom tissue fixture. The mounting device may be used to support a dispenser from a conventional bathroom tissue fixture. In some embodiments, the mounting device includes a positioning member, a first support member, a second support member and a linkage operatively disposed between at least one of the support members and the positioning member whereby movement of the positioning member causes relative motion between the distal ends of the first and second support members. Latching mechanisms may also be used with the invention to inhibit the relative motion of the first and second support members. The mounting device may also include a housing and an attachment mechanism, such as a threaded fastener for attaching a dispenser to the mounting device. The housing may also have a longitudinal dimension and be configured whereby the lateral axis defined by the support members is asymmetrically located with respect to the longitudinal dimension of the housing. The attachment mechanism may also be adapted to attach the mounting device to a dispenser in two different positions whereby the lateral axis has a different relative position with respect to the dispenser in the two different positions. The housing may also include a longitudinally extending engagement surface which is engageable with the dispenser and facilitates the alignment of the mounting device and the dispenser.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An adjustable mounting device for a conventional bathroom tissue fixture having a pair of oppositely disposed recesses, said mounting device comprising:a positioning member;a first support member and a second support member, said first support member having a first distal end and said second support member having a second distal end, said first distal end being moveable relative to said second distal end along a lateral axis whereby said first and second distal ends are engageable with the oppositely disposed recesses by relative motion between said first and second support members; anda linkage operatively disposed between at least one of said support members and said positioning member whereby movement of said positioning member causes said relative motion between said first and second support members.
