Dispenser box

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention discloses a dispenser box allowing for the removal of individual coupons without the chance of another coupon being removed at the same time.

#2. Description of the Prior Art

#The invention will be better understood and further objects, characterizing features, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly as the following description proceeds with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings given by way of non limiting example only illustrating a presently preferred specific embodiment of the invention and wherein:

#FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the coupon dispenser;

#FIG. 2 is an overhead view of the unitary body of the coupon dispenser;

#Referring to FIGS. 1-11, the dispenser 1 comprises a top section 2 having an opening 3 through which coupons or flexible sheets 4 may be dispensed. The dispenser 1 which is generally rectangular or box shaped, 4 has a stack of flexible sheets disposed one on top of another and folded at a specific length, allowing for the dispensing of individual sheets. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each coupon or flexible sheet 4 is folded upon itself. The body of the dispenser is preferably made of one unitary piece of material, cut to allow for folding of the material. Creases are made in the appropriate areas of the material to form edges. The material from which the dispenser is made is either paper, cardboard, styrene or plastic.

#The dispenser 1 has two long flat end walls 6 and 10. Edges 11 and 12 of these long flat end walls 6 and 10 are positioned perpendicularly to two long flat side wails 7 and 8. The two long flat end walls 6 are parallel to each other, with each of the two long flat end walls 6 and 10 having the same dimensions as the other flat end wall. The two long flat side walls are preferably wider than the two long flat end walls. The two long flat side walls 7 and 8 are parallel to each other, and the two long flat side walls 7 and 8 parallel to one another.

#The walls of the dispenser define an opening 3 through which coupons or sheets may be removed. The opening 3 is formed by opposing foldable flaps 9 formed by an extension from and integral with at least one of the walls, preferably from at least one, and most preferably from both long flat end walls 6 and 10. The foldable flaps 9 positioned at a top end of each of the flat end walls, comprises a lip 15 foldable upon flap 9. In a preferred embodiment, there is at least one tab positioned at each corner of a top end of two long flat side walls, resulting in four tabs 16, 17, 18, and 19 such that each foldable flap of a long flat end wall, fold over two tabs, thereby forming the opening of the dispenser.
