Method for activating scents from a scented coupon by means of a coupon dispenser

A dispenser for dispensing and activating scented coupons as they are removed from a coupon dispenser, allowing for the dispensing of individual sheets, said dispenser comprising:

• walls defining a cavity adapted to receive the stack of said sheets, said walls including:
• a rectangular flat top wall having an opening through which said sheets may be individually dispensed;
• two short flat end walls, wherein edges of each of said two short flat end walls are positioned perpendicularly to edges of the width of said flat top wall at opposite ends of said flat top wall, wherein said two short flat end walls are parallel to each other and each said short flat end wall has the same dimensions as the other flat end wall:
• two long flat side walls wherein edges of each of said two long flat side walls are positioned perpendicularly to edges of the length of said flat top wall at opposite sides of said flat top wall, wherein said two long flat side walls are parallel to each other and each said long flat side wall has the same dimensions as the other long flat side wall;
• a flat bottom wall having approximately the same dimensions as the flat top wall, said flat bottom wall being approximately parallel to said flat top wall, wherein at least one edge along the length of said flat bottom wall is affixed to the bottom of said dispenser;
• a resilient flexible arc type structure, said arc type structure having essentially a solid rectangular shape when flat, said arc type structure pushing said stack of said sheets to the opening in the top wall of the dispenser, said arc type structure positioned underneath said stack of sheets, said arc type structure positioned between said short flat end walls and above said flat bottom wall, wherein said arc type structure is in communication with said stack of sheets, pushing said stack of sheets towards the opening in said flat top wall;
• a scent release piece, positioned on the underside of the flat top wall, along the width of the opening of the dispenser;
• and
• a stack of said scented coupons, said scented coupons comprising a bottom sheet, an edge, a top flap integrally and continuously connected along the folded edge to said bottom sheet and a scented section integral with the bottom sheet, said scented section having a microenscapsulated scent,
• said stack of said scented coupons being positioned between said two short end walls within said dispenser, wherein when pulling said top flap from the bottom sheet to remove said scented coupon from said dispenser, said pulling causes said scented section of said coupon to be dragged against said scent release piece, thereby breaking the microcapsules of said coupon and releasing the scent as the scented coupon is removed from the dispenser.

A dispenser for dispensing scented coupons from a stack of coupons disposed one on top of another, said dispenser comprising:

• walls defining a cavity adapted to receive the stack, said walls including:
• a rectangular flat top wall having an opening through which said dispenser may be individually dispensed,
• two short flat end walls, wherein edges of each of said two short flat end walls are positioned perpendicularly to edges of the width of said flat top wall at opposite ends of said flat top wall, wherein said two short flat end walls are parallel to each other and each said short flat end wall has the same dimensions as the other flat end wall:
• two long flat side walls wherein edges of each of said two long flat side walls are positioned perpendicularly to edges of the length of said flat top wall at opposite sides of said flat top wall, wherein said two long flat side walls are parallel to each other and each said long flat side wall has the same dimensions as the other long flat side wall;
• a flat bottom wall having approximately the same dimensions as the flat top wall, said flat bottom wall being approximately parallel to said flat top wall, wherein at least one edge along the length of said flat bottom wall is affixed to the bottom of said dispenser;
• a resilient element to push said stack of scented coupons to the opening in the top wall of the dispenser, said means being an arc type structure positioned underneath said stack of scented coupons and between said stack of scented coupons and the flat bottom wall, wherein one end of said arc type structure is in communication with said stack of scented coupons, pushing said stack of scented coupons towards the opening in said flat top wall;
• an angular formation positioned between one of said end walls and said top wall, for the purpose of directing said stack of said scented coupons towards said opening in the top wall of the dispenser, wherein said angular formation is the material from said opening folded back toward said wall, and wherein said stack of said of scented coupons is positioned between said two short end walls within said dispenser;
• a stack of said scented coupons, said scented coupons comprising a bottom sheet, an edge, a top flap integrally and continuously connected along the folded edge to said bottom sheet and a scented section integral with the bottom sheet, said scented section having a microenscapsulated scent;
• and
• a scent release piece, positioned on the underside of the flat top wall, along the width of the opening of the dispenser, such that when pulling said top flap from the bottom sheet to remove said scented coupon from said dispenser, said pulling causes said scented section of said coupon to be dragged against said scent release piece, thereby breaking the microcapsules of said coupon and releasing the scent as the scented coupon is removed from the dispenser.

A dispenser for dispensing individual scented coupons from a stack of scented coupons disposed on top of another, said dispenser comprising:

• walls defining a cavity adapted to receive the stack, said walls including:
• a rectangular flat top wall having an opening through which said sheets may be individually dispensed;
• two short flat end walls, wherein edges of each of said two short flat end walls are positioned perpendicularly to edges of the width of said flat top wall at opposite ends of said flat top wall, wherein said two short flat end walls are parallel to each other and each said short flat end wall has the same dimensions as the other flat end wall:
• two long flat side walls wherein edges of each of said two long flat side walls are positioned perpendicularly to edges of the length of said flat top wall at opposite sides of said flat top wall, wherein said two long flat side walls are parallel to each other and each said long flat side wall has the same dimensions as the other long flat side wall;
• a flat bottom wall having approximately the same dimensions as the flat top wall, said flat bottom wall being approximately parallel to said flat top wall, wherein at least one edge along the length of said flat bottom wall is affixed to the bottom of said dispenser;
• side flaps positioned on a bottom section of at least one of said walls, wherein said stack of said sheets is positioned between said two short end walls within said dispenser;
• a stack of said scented coupons, said scented coupons comprising a bottom sheet, an edge, a top flap integrally and continuously connected along the folded edge to said bottom sheet and a scented section integral with the bottom sheet, said scented section having a microenscapsulated scent;
