Benefits of technology
The present invention is about devices that store and dispense personal care products. These devices have a compartment for storing the personal care products and a means for dispensing them. The personal care products are arranged in a specific order, and the device has a member that contacts the first personal care product and an opening for receiving it. The first personal care product is located close to the dispensing means, so it can be easily accessed and removed from the device. The device can be returned to the storage position without removing the first personal care product, which is an advantage because it avoids wasted product.
Problems solved by technology
Such bulk packaging may become damaged during storage by the consumer, in which case the individual products may become disorganized or damaged, such that they are lost or discarded prior to being used.
This again may lead to loss or damage of product prior to use.
While such devices permit storage and dispensing of such products, the construction, operation and methods of making such devices are complex.
In addition, once driven through the slot in the second portion by the drive member for access by the user, there is no apparent way that the devices would permit a product to be returned to the drawer for subsequent use in the event the user elects not to use the product at that time, thus resulting in wasted product.

example 1
[0068]The following example is illustrative of devices according to the present invention. The claims should not be construed to be limited to the details thereof.
[0069]The device depicted in the Figures was made by a streolithography additive process. Adhesive bandages according to FIGS. 7A and 7B were hand made utilizing conventional adhesive bandage backing materials, adhesives, wound contacting pads, and release liners. The bandages were stacked one upon the other to form an assembly of the bandages as represented in FIGS. 1B and 2 and then placed in the cartridge with the first short portions adjacent the distal end of the cartridge. The platform was placed on the spring. The spring and the platform were placed on the floor and the three parts attached to the cartridge via a snap fit between the floor and the cartridge. The proximate end of the cartridge was placed within the shell and the two were glued together. The distal end of the connector was placed within the product di...

The present invention is directed to devices suitable for storing an assembly of multiple personal care products and individually dispensing the personal care products from the assembly, where the devices include a compartment for storing the assembly of personal care products and a mechanism for dispensing the personal care products slidingly engaged with the compartment between a storage position and a dispensing position, where the mechanism for dispensing includes a member for contacting the personal care products and an opening through which the products may be accessed.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to devices suitable for storing an assembly of multiple personal care products and individually dispensing the personal care products from the assembly contained within the device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Personal care products such as adhesive bandages and patches, sanitary pads, panty liners, cleansing and cosmetic wipes and the like, may be packaged in bulk within boxes or plastic bags. In some cases, individual products contained within the packaging are contained within their own envelope, or cover, so as to require removal of the envelope prior to use by the consumer. Such bulk packaging may become damaged during storage by the consumer, in which case the individual products may become disorganized or damaged, such that they are lost or discarded prior to being used. Additionally, in order to carry multiple products in, for instance, a vehicle or personal handbag, or to maintain a supply of products in, for inst...
