Abstract:
A single-piece dispenser blank of integrally formed construction having opposed first and second surfaces, comprising:(a) a central section having a circumferential wall projecting from the first surface and defining an open well,(b) a first section pivotably connected to the central section and having (A) a first surface defining a cavity, (B) a second surface, (C) an access opening, and (D) projections extending from the second surface proximate opposite ends of the opening,(c) a means for repeatedly permitting nondestructive attachment and detachment of the first section to the central section, with the first surface of the first section in overlapping engagement with the first surface of the central section,(d) a second section pivotably connected to the central section and having a first surface defining a cavity,(e) a means for repeatedly permitting nondestructive attachment and detachment of the second section to the first section, with the first surface of the second section in overlapping engagement with the second surface of the first section,(f) wherein the sections are configured and arranged relative to one another such that (i) the first surface of the central section and the first surface of the first section cooperatively form a retention chamber when the first surface of the first section is pivoted into overlapping engagement with the first surface of the central section, and (ii) the second section covers the opening in the first section when (A) the first surface of the first section is pivoted into overlapping engagement with the first surface of the central section, and (B) the first surface of the second section is pivoted into overlapping engagement with the second surface of the first section.
