Abstract
A dispenser system having an integral sealing mechanism for resealing a severed end of a moisture-activated medical bandaging product. A sliding door closes the front of the dispenser system. The sliding door is raised and lowered by a handle preferably having a mechanical advantage. When raised, the sliding door's lower extreme defines a dispensing opening with the bottom of the box. A length of medical bandaging product can be pulled through this opening. When a user closes the door, the door's bottom extreme forms a tang and clevis interface which pinches the sleeve of the medical bandaging product and thereby form a moisture proof seal.
Claims21
A dispenser system for dispensing a desired portion from a moisture-activated medical bandaging product having an outer seal, then resealing a remaining portion of said product remaining within said dispenser system, comprising:
- a. an enclosure having a front opening;
- b. a sliding door, having a lower extreme, slidably disposed within said front opening;
- c. wherein said sliding door is movable to a raised position wherein a dispensing opening is formed between said lower extreme and said enclosure, so that said portion of moisture-activated medical bandaging product can be drawn through said dispensing opening;
- d. wherein said sliding door is movable to a lowered position wherein said dispensing opening is closed;
- e. a tang and clevis interface formed proximate said lower extreme of said door when said door is moved to said lowered position;
- and
- f. wherein said tang and clevis interface is positioned so that when said sliding door is moved to said lowered position, said outer seal of said medical bandaging product is forced into said tang and clevis interface, thereby forming a seal.
