Contamination-free dental floss dispenser

A contamination-free dental floss dispenser assembly comprising:

• a housing;
• at least one roll of dental floss mounted for rotation within said housing;
• said housing having at least one dental floss dispensing orifice and cut-off means for cutting off pieces of said dental floss;
• said floss being free from engagement with said housing and spaced away by at least one-half inch from said housing when said floss extends from said orifice to said cut-off means;
• means for securely holding said assembly against movement without engagement of said housing by either hand during the dispensing and cutting off said floss;
• means for permitting free dispensing of said floss from said orifice without engagement of any locking mechanism so that the floss may be gripped by the fingers and dispensed without any touching or contaminating of any part of said housing;
• said dispenser assembly including at least two thin spaced elongated fingers protruding linearly along a predetermined axis longitudinally directly outwardly from said dispenser at two spaced points, one of said fingers having a dispensing orifice extending through it, and the other having said cut off means attached thereto, said fingers extending separately at least one half inch outwardly from said housing, the maximum cross-sectional dimension through each of said thin, elongated fingers taken transverse to the longitudinal axis thereof, being substantially less than the extent of said fingers away from said housing;
• and
• a first pair of said thin, elongated fingers extending in one direction from said housing, and second pair of said fingers extending in another direction from said housing.
