  • Patent number: 6598759
    Abstract: A dispensing container for storing a stack of relatively flexible objects in a storage section and for individually dispensing a lowermost object of the stack to an intended user. The storage section defines a dispensing end, an opposed inlet end and opposed first and second storage walls extending there between. The container includes a releasable retaining protrusion extending from the first storage wall adjacent a dispensing port of the dispensing end to releasably retain the objects within the storage section, with a portion of the weight of the objects being supported by the first storage wall with the objects abutting thereon. The retaining protrusion supports the edges of the lowermost object while leaving an edge unsupported and accessible for grasping through the dispensing port and allows the lowermost object to be deformed when grabbed by the intended user so that its supported edges clear the retaining protrusion for the lowermost object to be dispensed there through.
