Abstract: A device for dispensing containers, such as cans of beer or soda, from a carton including a plurality of overlapping flaps which form an end wall of the carton and which can be separated and folded outwardly to open the carton. The dispensing device comprises a frame defining an opening for receiving the carton and having an inner periphery which at least partially surrounds the outer periphery of the carton and is dimensioned to slide over and engage the flaps when in the folded back position and retain them in that position. Preferably, the device also includes a base connected to the frame for resting on a support surface and supporting the frame and the open end of the carton at an elevation above the opposite end thereof so as to prevent the containers from rolling out of the open end of the carton.
