Abstract: A device for transforming a toothpick container of the type that includes a cylindrical receptacle in which the toothpicks are marketed and that has external threads on the open end portion that are removably engaged by an internally threaded cap into a dispenser from which a single toothpick is ejected when the receptacle is disposed in a downwardly inclined position.

Abstract: A lightweight, portable, compact, elongate dispenser capable of holding a number of toothpicks in a confined space in a clean and sanitary condition, with the dispenser when it is slowly rotated on its longitudinal axis causing one of the toothpicks to be engaged in a dispensable position, and by a further manual operation the engaged toothpick being dispensed without physically touching the balance of the toothpicks.
