Container

A container for a plurality of articles, the container comprising:

• a main body having a hollow tubular shape and extending along a longitudinal axis, the main body comprising a first end and a second end opposing the first end, wherein at least the second end comprises an opening;
• a hollow member fixedly coupled to the main body at the second end and defining a first opening therethrough extending angularly about the longitudinal axis;
• a cup member rotatably coupled to the hollow member, such that the cup member is rotatable relative to the hollow member about the longitudinal axis, the cup member defining a second opening therethrough extending angularly about the longitudinal axis, wherein the cup member comprises a base portion defining a closed bottom end of the container and defining a grooved track facing the second end of the main body;
• and
• a cam arm received within the hollow member and the cup member, wherein the cam arm is movably coupled to the hollow member and comprises a protrusion movably engaged with the grooved track, such that the cam arm moves relative to the hollow member due to a relative rotation between the hollow member and the cup member;
• wherein the main body, the hollow member, and the cup member together receive the plurality of articles therein;
• wherein the hollow member and the cup member are rotatable relative to each other between an open configuration and a closed configuration, wherein, in the open configuration, the first and second openings are at least partially aligned with each other to define a dispensing opening, and wherein, in the closed configuration, the first and second openings are misaligned from each other to close the dispensing opening;
• and
• wherein the cam arm moves between an engaged position corresponding to the closed configuration and a dispensing position corresponding to the open configuration due to the relative rotation between the hollow member and the cup member, wherein, in the engaged position, the cam arm is configured to engage a bottom article from the plurality of articles, and wherein the cam arm is further configured to move the bottom article due to the relative rotation between the hollow member and the cup member, such that, in the dispensing position of the cam arm, the bottom article at least partially extends through the dispensing opening and is removable from the container.
