Abstract:
A combination food pad container and dispenser can be constructed from the following components. A sealed elongated container is provided. The container is formed of flexible film material and has at least one surrounding wall, a closed top and a closed bottom and at least one mounting aperture. The aperture is located adjacent the top. The container is sized and shaped to slidably surround a plurality of horizontally stacked food pads. The pads have at least one planar surface. The surrounding wall has at least one openable perforation. The perforation is orthogonal to the planar surface. The perforation has at least one arresting feature. The arresting feature provides an intermediate point for controlling initial opening of the perforation. A single rigid member is provided within the dispenser with the food pads disposed opposite the at least one openable perforation. The rigid member maintains the dispenser in a free-standing vertical orientation.

Claim (Index 1):
A combination food pad container and dispenser comprising:\n a sealed elongated container, said container is sized and shaped to slidably surround a plurality of horizontally stacked food pads, said pads having at least one planar surface; said container is formed of flexible film material and having at least one surrounding wall, a closed top and a closed bottom; said at least one surrounding wall comprises a front wall, a rear wall, first and second side walls, all of said walls being attached to said closed top and said closed bottom; said surrounding wall having at least one openable perforation, said perforation is orthogonal to said planar surface, said perforation providing a dispensing opening in said container; said perforation having at least one arresting feature, said arresting feature providing an intermediate point for controlling initial opening of said perforation; and a single, separate rigid member extending for an interior height and an interior width of said dispenser, said single, separate rigid member being disposed within said dispenser between said rear wall and said food pads in a plane parallel to said rear wall and supporting said dispenser in a free-standing vertical orientation.
