Abstract:
1. A dispensing assembly adapted for dispensing gloves, the dispensing assembly comprising: a dispenser having a housing comprising a plurality of walls which cooperate to form an inner surface and an internal compartment, the dispenser configured to hold a stack of gloves and a stack of gloves disposed in the dispenser, the dispenser including a dispensing opening, the stack of gloves positioned on a glove positioner including a resilient material such that the stack of gloves forms a trapezoidal cross-section within the internal compartment of the dispenser, the glove positioner biasing the stack of gloves toward the dispensing opening and a portion of the housing such that the glove positioner controls the stack of gloves and space in the internal compartment of the dispenser to prevent gloves from moving out of the stack and into the space, the stack of gloves biased against the dispensing opening to permit easy and reliable withdrawal of each glove therefrom, and a flap positioned over at least a portion of the stack of gloves, whereby the flap encourages a user to withdraw a glove via a cuff of the glove and prevents withdrawal of a glove via a finger/thumb area.
