Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of a probe cover dispenser includes a bottom base. A slidable access member with a first opening for accessing probe covers is disposed on a first position of the bottom base. A storage member with a second opening thereunder for accommodating stacked probe covers is disposed on a second position of the bottom base. A retaining member holds one of the stacked probe covers. And a linking member connects the slidable access member to the retaining member. The linking member is induced for driving the retaining member to release the one of the stacked probe covers and cause it to fall into the first opening from the second opening and/or hold a further one of the stacked probe covers in the storage member, while the slidable access member is moved upwardly or downwardly.
