Patent ID: 8002115

Claim:
A container including an integral, selectively accessible compartment receivable of dispensible items, comprising: a plurality of panels forming a main interior compartment therebetween, said main compartment having an open state in which said main compartment is accessible and a closed state, a first one of said panels being movable between a closing position in which it closes said main compartment and prevents access thereto and an exposing position in which said main compartment is open and accessible and when in the exposing position, said first panel exposing at least a previously unexposed portion of said first panel or a previously unexposed portion or all of a second one of said panels, said previously unexposed portion of said first panel or said previously unexposed portion or all of said second panel including an opening that is covered only by one of said first panel and said second panel when said first panel is in the closing position and is exposed upon only movement of said first panel apart from said second panel from the closing position to the exposing position, said panels defining a side compartment communicating with said opening; and a cover extending across said opening and including a slit, whereby when dispensible items are retained in said side compartment, each dispensible item is removable from said side compartment through said slit when said first panel is moved from the closing position to the exposing position to expose said previously unexposed portion of said first panel or said previously unexposed portion or all of said second panel including said opening, wherein said first panel is a rear panel having a flap portion and said second panel is a front panel, said flap portion being movable between a position overlying at least a part of said front panel and a position in which said main compartment is open, and said flap portion having a substrate arranged on at least a portion of an inner surface thereof, said substrate comprising a moisture-resistant material, wherein said opening is in said second panel and said substrate is arranged in a position in which it overlies an entirety of said slit and comes into direct surface-to-surface contact with material of said cover directly adjacent said slit on all sides of said slit to completely cover said slit, when said first panel covers said previously unexposed portion or all of said second panel, thereby creating a tight closure over the entirety of said slit and substantially preventing evaporation of moisture from the dispensible items retained in said side compartment.
