Abstract: A fragrance sampling device having an inner wall of at least one layer that defines an air cavity and is made of a material capable of retaining a fragrance carrier, and an outer wall of at least one layer made of a material that is substantially impervious to the fragrance carrier. Air containing molecules of fragrance that evaporate from at least one layer of the inner wall is released through at least one opening in the inner and outer walls to the outside of the device when pressure is applied to the device.

Abstract: A hangable storing box includes first and second housing halves defining an inner space therebetween, and a limiting plate disposed between the first and second housing halves and separating the inner space into front and rear spaces. A hook member projects from a rear wall of the first housing half for holding a stack of seamed plastic bags. The limiting plate has a bottom end spaced apart from bottom walls of the first and second housing halves to define thereamong a gap so as to permit the plastic bags to extend downwardly from the hook member through the rear space and the gap and then turn around the bottom end of the limiting plate to extend upwardly into the front space.

Abstract: A stacked assembly of disposable rain hoods for displaying and dispensing from a display stand comprising a plurality of disposable rain hoods stacked together and a display holder, the display holder configured to be suspended from the display stand. Each rain hood rain hood has a suspension portion extending from a lower edge of opposing flaps of the rain hood, the suspension portion being detachably connected to the lower edge of the flaps by a frangible perforation. The stack of disposable hoods are fixedly attached to the display holder via the suspension portions of the rain hoods such that a selected disposable rain hood may be selectively detached from the suspension portion by pulling the disposable hood relative to the holder to thereby break the frangible perforation. A head stop is preferably provided for properly positioning the head of a user in the disposable rain hood.

Abstract: A system for storing and dispensing bags wherein the bags each have a top and bottom, and an aperture disposed adjacent the bag top, includes a container having a top panel, a bottom panel, first and second side panels, and first and second end panels. Structure is disposed within the container and attached to the top and bottom panels, and is adapted to pass through the bag apertures for retaining the bags within the container. The container includes an aperture to permit removal of bags from the container through the aperture.

Abstract: A disposable glove suitable for the foodservice industry has front and back layers of plastic sealed along a periphery thereof, forming finger and a thumb portion in a closed end and an open end. A mounting section extends rearwardly from the back layer and includes mounting holes suitable to receive wickets therethrough. The mounting holes are also suitable for attaching the gloves to a portable planar support to form a portable and compact disposable glove cartridge which, when depleted, is easily replaced with a fresh cartridge. The disposable glove of the present invention is quickly and easily donned and removed from a dispenser (e.g., a glove rack) with a single motion of only a single hand, without assistance from the other hand.

Abstract: A scented trash bag dispenser is comprised of a plurality of disposable trash bags arranged in an ordered stack and connected by a frangible connection to a base member. The base member is connectable to a separate object or surface to suspend the stacked plurality of trash bags from the object or surface, where the forward most trash bag of the plurality of bags is easily accessible for use. Either or both of the base member and plurality of trash bags are constructed of a material that emits an air freshening scent to perfume the air in the vicinity of the trash bag dispenser.

Abstract: A method for producing a serialized bundle of thermoplastic T-shirt grocery bags which serially open upon being dispensed. Specifically, a bag being removed from the serialized bundle of thermoplastic T-shirt grocery bags mounted on a dispensing rack automatically opens an immediately following and trailing bag. The bags of the serialized bundle are coextruded to have at least two layers, an inside layer having a low coefficient of friction and an outside layer having a high coefficient of friction. A relatively low coefficient of friction between two inside layers allows each bag to easily open; a relatively high coefficient of friction between the outside layers allows a leading bag to entrain a trailing bag. Entraining structures are provided into and between the respective bags which permit the bags to be keyed together at their high friction outside layers and separate at their low friction inside layers.

Abstract: A plurality of samples of a cosmetic product, such as nail enamel, lipstick, powder or cream makeup, fragrance, and the like, each comprising a quantity suitable for one sample dose, are provided on a sheet or continuous strip of material. The strip is provided with perforations between adjacent dose units to permit a prospective customer to tear off one or several samples at a time from the strip. The sheet or strip can be provided on a reel for convenient and compact disposition at the point of purchase.

Abstract: A sample strip is divided into a plurality of individual pieces arranged seriatim and connected in end-to-end fashion. The individual pieces are separated from each other as the strip is incrementally fed through a dispensing tip of a cartridge which controls the dispensing operation to insure that the samples are dispensed one at a time in a hygienic manner. The cartridge can be mounted in a display unit along with a plurality of similar cartridges.

Abstract: A dispenser for a stack of sheet material comprising sheets joined in the stack by a narrow band of pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side of each sheet adjacent one end. The dispenser includes a support surface for the stack, holding structure for holding the bottom sheet to the support surface, and an abutment for engaging an edge of the pad opposite the adhesively joined sides of the sheets for restricting peeling forces being transferred to the bottom sheet of the pad during separation of the top sheet.

Abstract: A notepaper dispenser for holding and dispensing sheets singly from a pad of notepaper with the sheets held in the pad by a narrow band of adhesive on one side of each sheet and adjacent one end is disclosed which has a support surface for the pad, a clamp for holding the bottom sheet in an area spaced from the band of adhesive in fixed position in relationship to the support surface and an abutment for engaging an edge of the pad opposite the end of the sheets joined together by the adhesive for restricting peeling forces resulting from peeling the top sheet being transferred to the bottom sheet of the pad.
