Device for packaging and dispensing stacked items, in particular cosmetics on a medium

A device for packaging and dispensing stacked items, the device comprising:

• a box comprising:
• a first portion;
• a second portion that is movable relative to the first portion between a retracted position and an extended position, and including at least one slideway;
• and
• a stack of said items disposed in the second portion of the box;
• the first portion of the box including a drive member configured firstly to press against the stack of items while the second portion of the box is being moved towards the retracted position, and secondly to entrain an item in contact therewith relative to a remainder of the stack in order to enable the item be grasped by a user;
• the second portion of the box and the drive member being configured in such a manner as to no longer put the drive member in contact with the stack of items when the second portion is fully in the retracted position, wherein the second portion of the box includes a slot through which the drive member extends while in contact with the stack, and said at lease one slideway being configured to keep the drive member away from the stack of items during at least a fraction of the stroke of the second portion of the box going from the retracted position toward the extended position.

• the second portion comprising two hinged portions connected together by a hinge, wherein the second portion of the box includes a slot through which the drive member extends while in contact with the stack, and said at least one slideway being configured to keep the drive member away from the stack of items during at least a fraction of the stroke of the second portion of the box going from the retracted position toward the extended position.

A method of manufacturing a device for dispensing items, the method comprising the following steps:

• placing a stack of items to be dispensed in a drawer comprising two hinged-together portions, and including at least one slideway;
• and
• assembling the drawer with a cover;
• the cover including a drive member configured to press against the stack of items while the drawer is being moved toward a retracted position, and to entrain an item in contact therewith relative to a remainder of the stack in order to enable the item to be grasped by a user;
• the drawer and the drive member also being configured in such a manner as to prevent the drive member from pressing against the stack of items over at least a fraction of the stroke of the drawer from the retracted position towards the extended position, wherein the second portion of the box includes a slot through which the drive member extends while in contact with the stack, and said at least one slideway being configured to keep the drive member away from the stack of items during at least a fraction of the stroke of the drawer going from the retracted position toward the extended position.
