ABSTRACT:
The present invention generally provides a dispenser assembly which houses a disposable container of consumer product. The dispenser assembly improves an aperture that allows access to the product from the exterior of the dispenser assembly. In one embodiment, the disposable container of consumer product is configured to engage with the dispenser assembly in a manner that retains a portion of the container through which the product is dispensed in a pre-defined orientation relative to the cover of the dispenser assembly. In one embodiment, a neck of the container of consumer product through which the product may be accessed engages the aperture of the dispenser assembly to selectively retain the container and the dispenser assembly. In one embodiment, the neck is snap-fit into the aperture.
