Claims24
A dispenser comprising:
- a housing comprising a housing opening;
- a lid for covering the housing opening;
- a reservoir for holding items to be dispensed from the dispenser and for being received in the housing through a portion of the housing opening, said reservoir being formed on the lid for being received in the housing when the lid covers said housing opening, wherein said reservoir comprises a rear wall moveable with the lid and spaced apart from the lid defining an inlet opening between the lid and said rear wall for receiving said items to be dispensed, wherein the lid is rotatable relative to the housing from a closed position covering said housing opening to an open position providing access to the inlet opening allowing for receiving said items to be dispensed in said reservoir, wherein a portion of the housing below said portion of the housing opening defines a wall having a front surface facing toward the lid and a rear surface opposite the front surface, wherein said rear surface retains the lid when the lid is in the open position;
- and
- a dispensing opening on the lid providing access to the reservoir.
