Compact material storage and dispensing unit

Abstract

A compact material storage and dispensing unit for separately storing and dispensing small volumes of substances such as fragrances, creams and lotions. The unit comprises a circular plate which is divided into a plurality of storage cells, each storage cell substantially wedge shaped. The storage cells are disposed around a common center, and each storage cell is bounded by two radial lines which pass through the common center. Each storage cell further comprises a top ply, a bottom ply and impregnated packing sandwiched between the top and bottom ply. The impregnated packing is to be saturated with lotion, fragrance, ointment or any other desired substance. Perforations are formed into the radial lines which bound the storage cells, so that each storage cell may be easily separated from the adjacent storage cell and removed. Upon removing a particular storage cell from the circular plate, the top ply is separated from the bottom ply to expose the impregnated packing, and the substance contained within the impregnated packing is transferred to a desired location.
