  • Patent number: 6092673
    Abstract: It is known to provide a collapsible dispenser, for example leaflets and small articles, having an upstanding, elongate recess open at one end for the insertion and dispensing of such articles. However, the need to incline the recess rearwardly means that such a known receptacle is unstable unless a detachable stabilizer is secured thereto. The invention relates to a receptacle foldable to an erect configuration from a blank, the blank comprising a base having hingedly secured thereto a plurality of walls. The base includes extending therefrom a rigid member that serves to stabilize the receptacle. One of the walls includes a recess for the member so that the blank can occupy a completely flat configuration before erecting of the receptacle.
