An assembly and method of forming a disposable container lid dispenser assembly and which is constructed to sequentially dispense respective container lids from a stack of container lids housed in the dispenser assembly. The dispenser assembly is generally defined by a tube, a pressure plate assembly and a door assembly. The door assembly is movable relative to the tube to allow loading of the tube with a stack of lids and supports a cover that is moveable relative to a door. The door and cover cooperate with one another to define an extraction gap shaped to allow manual extraction of a discrete lid from the stack of lids contained in the dispenser assembly. A plurality of deflectable projections extend across the extraction gap and operate to ensure separation of discrete lid from the remainder of the stack of lids during each extraction event.

In some embodiments, a beverage container insulator dispenser may comprise a body having a first end and a second end with at least one wall. A cavity may be formed into the body and shaped to receive one or more beverage container insulators. An access panel may be removably coupled to the body and configured to govern access to the cavity. A dispensing aperture may be formed into the access panel proximate to a first end of the body. Beverage container insulators may be removed from the cavity through the dispensing aperture. A motivation partition may be movably coupled to the body within the cavity, and a motivation element may be coupled to the motivation partition and configured to tension the motivation partition towards the dispensing aperture.

A rope dispensing system for dispensing a continuous rope from a compressed rope cartridge. The device has a canister for storage of the rope cartridge, a resealable lid with a grommet for passing the rope through the lid, and a replaceable cutting mechanism for cutting the rope. Preferably the rope cartridge is shrink-wrapped to fit within case and keep rope from unraveling.

A medical assembly (100) includes a package (101) having an outer surface (102) with a major face (103) defining an aperture (701). An aperture-sealing label (702) selectively attaches to the outer surface to close the aperture and to be selectively peelable from the outer surface to expose the aperture. Five sheets (302,303,304,305,306) are arranged in a stacked configuration (309) within the package. Printed instructions (107) then define five steps (110,111,112,113,114) instructing when to use each sheet disposed within the package, and when to discard the each sheet disposed within the package, to clean a Foley catheter insertion site of either a male patient or a female patient, while reducing chances for causing a catheter associated urinary tract infection.

A number of variations may include a product comprising a carrousel cartridge comprising a bottom compartment; an inner case, wherein the inner case is rotatably attached to the bottom compartment and is constructed and arranged to accommodate at least one component; and a top compartment, wherein the top compartment and the bottom compartment are slideably attached together, and a carrousel cartridge dispenser comprising a housing; an indexing cam system, wherein the indexing cam system is disposed within the housing; and a dispenser trough, wherein the dispenser trough is attached to the housing.

A resealable flap device in the form of a sheet, for applying to or incorporating in packaging, comprises: a base layer 30 of flexible material, and an upper layer 40 of stiff material. The sheet is cut (15) through both layers to outline a flap portion 14, the cut leaving an edge in a hinge region 18, the upper layer being removed behind the line of the hinge region 18. In this way the flexible base layer forms a hinge 18 that is easy to handle and does not spring back, while the stiff upper layer maintains the shape of the flap.

A dispensing device for holding and dispensing strip-like objects, like test strips for analyzing a sample of bodily fluid, wherein the dispensing device holds a stack of strips. The dispensing device includes a container portion for holding the stack of strips and a dispenser portion for dispensing strips from the dispensing device, one at a time. The dispenser portion includes a movable element for applying a rotation motion to a strip to be dispensed from a first orientation, in which the strip is enclosed in the dispensing device, to a second orientation, in which the strip is at least partially exposed.

A method of hand hygiene compliance enforcement and hand hygiene system comprising at least one dispenser unit that has an interior chamber containing a volume of hand soap or sanitizer and a dispenser nozzle configured to dispense a measured volume of hand soap or sanitizing material upon a triggering event. The dispenser also has a control unit mounted therein, the control unit is in electronic communication with the dispenser nozzle and has at least one identity sensor, at least one alarm indicator and at least one transmitter. The hand hygiene system also has at least one proximity sensor in electronic communication with the control unit. The proximity sensor is located a spaced distance from the at least one dispenser.

A process arrangement for producing a fiber-reinforced plastic component comprises a stacking station in which pre-impregnated textile semi-finished products can be stacked, and an assembly station in which the semi-finished products can be further processed to form the layered packet. The forming of the fiber-reinforced plastic component is subsequently carried out in the press. According to the invention, the stacking station is assigned at least one transport and/or storage container in which the semi-finished products can be stored air-tight, light-proof, and/or moisture-tight shielding and can be transported to the assembly station.
