Abstract: A package or container that includes a frame that defines an access aperture and an opening mechanism associated with a pliable sheet, which forms at least part of a cover for the access aperture. The opening mechanism includes a set of spaced-apart tabs that slideably engages with opposing edges or flanges of the frame. As a user moves the opening mechanism along the frame, the opening mechanism draws the pliable sheet over upon itself, and displaces the sheet relative to the aperture to either open or close the package.

Abstract: A multi-product dispenser is disclosed. The dispenser unit has a body or housing that includes a number of chambers adapted to receive and accommodate a number of individual product containers. Each of the chambers in the housing has an opening that is distinctly configured relative to another opening adapted to dispense each kind of product that is to be dispensed from the housing. The container may have a movable panel or false bottom and an opening situated opposite the movable panel, and the housing may have a spring-like, tension-based member adapted to contact or engage with the movable panel that advances the movable panel toward the opening of both the container and housing. The invention also discloses a method for informing a user about a proper sequence or protocol for using protective products.
