Abstract

A cheese dispenser designed to hold and dispense individually wrapped cheese slices. The device comprises a housing, a movable floorplate, and a compression spring. In one embodiment, the housing comprises a fully enclosed structure with a front opening for dispensing and a top opening for loading cheese slices. In another embodiment, the housing comprises an open top with a lid attachment that is removable for loading cheese slices. In both embodiments, each cheese slice is loaded from the top and placed onto the spring-loaded floorplate. The upward pressure of the compression spring pushes the cheese slice towards the top where it becomes accessible from the front side for dispensing. When ready to use, the user simply pulls a cheese slice out through the front opening. Each time a cheese slice is dispensed, the next available cheese slice is pushed upward and ready for dispensing.
