Abstract: A dispenser arranged to be carried flat and manually assembled in an erected arrangement for dispensing small articles, such as medical samples. The dispenser includes a closure for selectively closing an opening at the bottom of the tubular sidewall thereof. The closure includes one or more flanges which cooperate with the closure in defining an upwardly opening access space when the closure is swung to an open position away from the opening. At least one of the flanges may be provided with a stop for limiting the outward swinging of the closure from the opening. A ramp guide is provided within the dispenser within the closure for guiding the articles outwardly through the opening into the access space for facilitating the dispensing of the articles. The dispenser container may be formed as a one-piece folded sheet element, permitting the same to be provided in a collapsed form for subsequent erection to define the dispenser configuration.
