Glove dispensing system

A dispenser comprising:

• a box-like container having a top and a bottom;
• an aperture formed on the top of said container;
• a planar shield member having a length and a width at least as great as the corresponding dimensions of said aperture;
• and
• a hinge connecting said shield member to said container along one side thereof, said hinge being an integral part of said container and being formed along a crease and having an incision along a portion of said crease, whereby said hinge allows the shield to be raised by a user from a closed portion in which said shield covers said aperture to retrieve an article therethrough and allowing said shield to automatically resume said closed position thereafter.

A glove dispensing comprising:

• a box-like container having a top wall, a bottom wall, and four sidewalls therebetween;
• an aperture formed through said top wall and at least a first side wall of said container;
• a plurality of flattened gloves in said container resting one upon another in a stack having the top and bottom gloves therein parallel to said top wall;
• a planar shield member having a width at least as great as the width of the aperture;
• a self-acting hinge interconnecting the planar shield member and the container, the hinge positioned such that the planar shield member extends beyond the top wall of the container covering the aperture, and said hinge being an integral part of said container and being formed along a crease and having an incision along a portion of said crease, whereby said hinge allows said shield to automatically rest in a closed position covering said aperture;
• a stand adapted for being attached to a vertical surface, said stand including means for holding the container with the top wall thereof at an angle in the range from about 5 degrees to 40 degrees in relation to the vertical surface;
• and
• means for removably securing the container to the stand.
