Abstract

A materials storage and dispenser case for hairdresser's use including base and cover or top components respectively providing guide channels and mating track rollers that join the components together for combined pivoting and translational movement whereby essentially loose tools and materials are securely stored in the base and top when the dispenser case is closed and can be exposed for ready access when the case is open. When in use, hair rollers or curler implements that may be of varied size are disposed in the vertically disposed top component within chutes that have guide dividers to prevent clogging of the chutes and that assure one-at-a-time dispensing of the rollers. The top is disposed in an essentially inverted horizontal position when the case is closed to prevent the escape of rollers. Separated compartments are provided in the base for the reception of additional tools, liquids, towels and other hairdresser's paraphernalia.
