Dispenser cover retention arrangement
First Claim
1. A dispenser for a consumable product having a backplate for mounting to a wall and a cover member pivotably mounted to the backplate for relative movement between a closed position and an open position;
- the backplate having an upper end and a lower end,the cover member having an upper end and a lower end,the cover member carrying a journal rod proximate a lower end of the cover disposed about an axis;
a movable member coupled to the backplate for relative vertical sliding movement between a first position and a second position,the movable member having an upper end and a lower end,the backplate carrying at the lower end of the backplate a first journal bearing portion disposed about a horizontal axis orientated when the backplate is mounted vertically with the first portion of the journal bearing portion open upwardly,the movable member carrying a second journal bearing portion complementary to the first journal bearing portion proximate the lower end of the movable member vertically above the first journal bearing portion with the second journal bearing portion open downwardly opposed to the first journal bearing portion;
the second bearing portion slidable vertically upwardly away from the first bearing portion in sliding movement of the support member from the first position to the second position,with the movable member in the first position;
a. the first journal portion and the second journal portion mate with each other to form a journal bearing with a bore for receiving therein the journal rod,b. when the journal rod is received in the bore, the bore prevents removal of the journal rod from the bore, andc. when the journal rod is received in the bore, the bore engages the journal rod for pivoting of the cover member about the axis relative the backplate between the open position and the closed position;
with the support member in the second position the first journal portion and the second journal portion are spaced from each other;
a. to permit the journal rod to be inserted into the journal bore to engage the cover member with the backplate, andb. to permit the journal rod to be removed from the journal bore permitting the cover member to disengage from the backplate.

Abstract
A dispenser for a consumable product having a backplate for mounting to a wall and a cover member pivotably mounted to the backplate for relative pivotal movement between a closed position and an open position. The cover member carrying a journal rod disposed about an axis. A movable member coupled to the backplate for relative vertical sliding movement between a lower first position and a higher second position. The backplate carrying at a lower end of the backplate a complementary second journal bearing portion open downwardly. The second bearing portion slidable vertically upwardly away from the first bearing portion in movement of the support member from the first position to the second position to permit, when the movable member is in the second position, the coupling and uncoupling of the cover member from the backplate and wherein with the movable member in the second position with the journal rod engaged with the first journal portion of the backplate, the backplate engages the journal rod to support the cover member on the backplate.
