Abstract

In some embodiments, a beverage container insulator dispenser may comprise a body having a first end and a second end with at least one wall. A cavity may be formed into the body and shaped to receive one or more beverage container insulators. An access panel may be removably coupled to the body and configured to govern access to the cavity. A dispensing aperture may be formed into the access panel proximate to a first end of the body. Beverage container insulators may be removed from the cavity through the dispensing aperture. A motivation partition may be movably coupled to the body within the cavity, and a motivation element may be coupled to the motivation partition and configured to tension the motivation partition towards the dispensing aperture.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A beverage container insulator dispenser, the dispenser comprising:
 a. a body having a first end and a second end with at least one wall;   b. a cavity formed into the body, the cavity shaped to contain at least two beverage container insulators which are in a collapsed state;   c. an access panel, wherein a portion of the access panel is movably coupled to the body;   d. a dispensing aperture positioned proximate to the first end of the body;   e. a motivation partition movably coupled within the cavity; and   f. a motivation element coupled to the motivation partition and configured to tension the motivation partition towards the dispensing aperture irrespective to the force of gravity.   
     
     
         2 . The dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the dispensing aperture is formed as a gap between the access panel and the body. 
     
     
         3 . The dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing aperture is formed into the access panel. 
     
     
         4 . The dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing aperture is T-shaped. 
     
     
         5 . The dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the motivation partition is movably coupled to a wall within the cavity. 
     
     
         6 . The dispenser of  claim 1 , further comprising a skid coupled to the motivation partition. 
     
     
         7 . The dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the skid comprises a skid surface configured to slide along a wall within the cavity. 
     
     
         8 . The dispenser of  claim 6 , wherein the skid comprises a roller configured to roll along a wall within the cavity. 
     
     
         9 . The dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the motivation element comprises an elastic spring. 
     
     
         10 . The dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the motivation element comprises a constant-force spring. 
     
     
         11 . A beverage container insulator dispenser, the dispenser comprising:
 a. a body having a first wall and a second wall positioned generally parallel to each other, a third wall and a fourth wall positioned generally parallel to each other and coupled generally perpendicular to both the first wall and second wall, and a fifth wall coupled generally perpendicularly to the first, second, third, and fourth walls;   b. an access panel, wherein the access panel is movably coupled to the body;   c. a cavity formed by the first wall, second wall, third wall, fourth wall, fifth wall, and access panel, the cavity having a rectangular prism shape;   d. a dispensing aperture positioned proximate to the first end of the body;   e. a motivation partition movably coupled within the cavity; and   f. a motivation element coupled to the motivation partition and configured to tension the motivation partition towards the dispensing aperture irrespective to the force of gravity.   
     
     
         12 . The dispenser of  claim 11 , wherein a portion of the dispensing aperture is formed as a gap between the access panel and the third wall. 
     
     
         13 . The dispenser of  claim 11 , wherein the dispensing aperture is formed into the access panel. 
     
     
         14 . The dispenser of  claim 11 , wherein dispensing aperture is T-shaped. 
     
     
         15 . The dispenser of  claim 11 , wherein the motivation partition is movably coupled to a wall within the cavity. 
     
     
         16 . The dispenser of  claim 11 , further comprising a skid coupled to the motivation partition. 
     
     
         17 . The dispenser of  claim 16 , wherein the skid comprises a skid surface configured to slide along a wall within the cavity. 
     
     
         18 . The dispenser of  claim 16 , wherein the skid comprises a roller configured to roll along a wall within the cavity. 
     
     
         19 . The dispenser of  claim 11 , wherein the motivation element comprises an elastic spring disposed in the cavity between the motivation partition and the fourth wall. 
     
     
         20 . The dispenser of  claim 11 , wherein the motivation element comprises a constant-force spring disposed in the cavity between the motivation partition and the third wal
