Claim:
A product dispenser comprising: (a) a housing including a backplate and a pivoting single-piece cover fitted with said backplate to define a reservoir recess, said cover having a pair of inwardly projecting journals; and (b) a refill unit received in said reservoir recess between said backplate and said cover, said refill unit including: (i) a product reservoir holding product for dispensing and having a bottom end disposed in said reservoir recess, and (ii) a pump carried by said product reservoir proximate said bottom end and actuated to dispense said product; wherein said single piece cover is pivotally supported on said inwardly projecting journals to pivot about a cover axis defined by said inwardly projecting journals, such that pushing on said cover toward said backplate, at a position below said cover axis, actuates said pump and causes the volume of said reservoir recess above said cover axis to increase, said cover axis being positioned either adjacent to or below said bottom end of said product reservoir.
