A carton for holding and dispensing at least one article, the carton including a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton and including a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, and at least one back panel, a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels and forming at least one closed end of the carton, and a dispenser for accessing the interior of the carton, the dispenser including a plurality of dispenser flaps at least partially separably connected to the top panel such that the dispenser is reconfigurable between a first configuration, in which the plurality of dispenser flaps is foldably connected to the top panel, and a second configuration, in which one or more of the dispenser flaps is separated from the top panel.

The present disclosure relates to dispensing containers for storing and dispensing folded sheet materials. The dispensing container of the present disclosure can be constructed so as to be free of polymer films. The dispensing container includes a unique dispensing system that can include an access opening in combination with a baffle. The baffle can include a non-linear slit that can apply forces to a sheet material being dispensed. In this manner, a sheet material can be maintained in an upright position without falling back into the container. The access opening can be used to initially thread tissues through the baffle or to re-thread tissues through the baffle after some of the sheets have been dispensed.

A pre-formed bags dispenser comprises a container having an access aperture, a stack of pre-formed bags located in the container and having a first portion (12) deviated, preferably folded, at a transverse bend from a second portion containing mouth ends of the bags, and attachment means in the container separably attached to the mouth ends at lines of weakening, e.g. perforations. Front walls of the bags at the second portion, tensioned by the bending of the stack, are presented towards the access aperture. The bag nearest to the access aperture can be drawn out through the aperture by pulling its front wall, with one hand, relative to the attachment means. As the bag is so pulled its mouth is opened and the separable attachment to the attachment means is released. The attachment means, in one form, comprises a bar block separably joined to the mouths and/or handles of the bags. The container may be in the form of a box substantially closed apart from the access aperture, a tray or a bag.

A card cassette device of a card dispensing apparatus ensures elimination of measures for illegally opening a card outlet from the outside in a non-mounted state and makes it possible to open the card outlet according to the necessity in a mounted state, raising security level. A movable shutter for opening and closing a card outlet has a stopper member engaging hole and a lock member engaging hole. A stopper member is engaged with the stopper member engaging hole by a stopper member moving device, thereby fixing the shutter in its closed state in the non-mounted state. A lock member is engaged with the lock member engaging hole by a lock member moving device, thereby canceling the closed state of the shutter and locking the shutter in its open state in the mounted state.

A dispenser for dispensing a facemask is provided. The dispenser includes a housing having an interior volume so as to retain one or more facemasks having a metal strip disposed thereon or therein and a cover assembly forming at least a portion of the housing, the cover assembly including an outer surface forming a portion of an exterior of the dispenser and an inner surface facing the interior volume. An arm is disposed on the inner surface of the cover assembly, the arm including a first end having a magnetic device disposed thereon, wherein the magnetic device is configured to lift one or more facemasks to a dispensing position when the cover assembly is moved to an opened position.

A refillable dispenser for use with a stack of sheet material. The stack being switchable at least from a compressed state at which said stack is held compressed to a first volume by a compression arrangement, to an expanded state at which said stack has a second volume greater than said first volume. The dispenser comprises a housing defining a first space having a volume corresponding to the first volume for accommodating the stack at the compressed state and a second space including said first space and an expansion space, the second space having a volume corresponding to the second volume for accommodating the stack at the expanded state. The dispenser further comprises a releasing mechanism configured to engage with the compression arrangement to induce switching of the stack from said compressed state to said expanded state at the second space.
