Tablet dispenser

A dispenser for housing a wrapped roll of stacked objects of identical shape and size, and for removing said objects from said roll, one at a time, said dispenser comprising:

• a hollow case including an open end for loading said roll into said case, an interior that conforms to the exterior shape and size of said roll, and an open dispensing and opposite the loading end for dispensing said objects from said roll;
• (b) a closure cap that covers said dispensing end of said hollow case when said cap is in a closed position, said cap having an interior cavity of thickness generally the thickness of an end-most object, and said interior cavity conforming to the shape and size of said end-most object, and said cap having an inwardly directed cutting means located on one side of said cap for partially severing the wrapper of said roll;
• (c) pivot means for providing a pivot between said cap and said case, said pivot means located on the side of said case opposite the location of said cutting means of said cap, and said pivot means also located below said dispensing end of said case, so that said inwardly directed cutting means partially severs said wrapper and lifts and separates said end-most object from said roll in an upward angular direction from the longitudinal axis of said case when said cap is pivoted to an open position;
• wherein said roll is inserted at the loading end of said hollow case with said cap in a closed position, and said roll is pressed in so that said end-most object is positioned in the cavity with the lower surface of said end-most object aligned just above said cutting means, whereby removal of said end-most object at the dispensing end of said roll is accomplished by partially severing said wrapper as said cutting means and said cap are pivoted to an open position.
