[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A container assembly attachable to a bracket/actuator assembly having a movable actuator and a pair of mounting flanges; said container assembly comprising:a reservoir for holding product to be dispensed,an outlet sized and shaped to afford passage of product to be dispensed;a pump, operatively associated with the actuator, for pumping the product through the outlet, the pump including a driven surface for receiving the actuator;a pair of channels which are sized and shaped to cooperatively receive the mounting flanges of the bracket/actuator assembly to attach the container assembly to the bracket/actuator assembly and to align the driven surface of the pump with the actuator when the container assembly is attached to the bracket/actuator assembly;wherein the container assembly is attachable to the bracket/actuator assembly in a vertically downward direction; andthe channels are elongate and situated so that they taper toward each other in the direction of attachment so that the driven surface of the pump is guided into a predetermined orientation relative to the actuator substantially simultaneously with attachment of the container assembly to the bracket/actuator assembly in the vertically downward direction.
