  • Multiple-size bag dispenser
    Patent number: 6382551
    Abstract: A reusable container for holding and dispensing rolls of disposal bags of large, medium and small axial lengths has a top panel, a bottom panel and first and second side panels formed from a unitary piece of corrugated cardboard, or the like, into a parallelpied container having a cavity divided into individual compartments for rolls with which elongated dispensing openings communicate. Opposed inwardly-projecting end flaps hingedly connected to the bottom panel have a substantially flat abutment panel located inside the cavity of the container and located a predetermined minimum distance from an associated end of the cavity. The ends of each dispensing opening associated with large rolls are substantially aligned with the abutment panels of both inwardly-projecting end flaps. One end of each dispensing opening associated with the medium and small rolls are substantially aligned with one of the abutment panels of the inwardly-projecting end flaps.
