Aligned dispenser and container

Abstract

A system includes a container enclosing a plurality of dispensable items, the container including a perforation defining a removable portion of the container; and a hollow dispenser configured to receive the container, the hollow dispenser including a first edge of a first surface of the hollow dispenser and a second edge of a second surface of the hollow dispenser, in which the first edge and the second edge define at least a portion of an aperture in the hollow dispenser, and in which the hollow dispenser is configured such that the aperture is aligned with the removable portion of the container when the container is inserted into the hollow dispenser.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 a container enclosing a plurality of dispensable items, the container comprising a perforation defining a removable portion of the container; and   a hollow dispenser configured to receive the container, the hollow dispenser comprising a first edge of a first surface of the hollow dispenser and a second edge of a second surface of the hollow dispenser,   wherein the first edge and the second edge define at least a portion of an aperture in the hollow dispenser, and   wherein the hollow dispenser is configured such that the aperture is aligned with the removable portion of the container when the container is inserted into the hollow dispenser.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first surface and the second surface face different directions. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the first surface and the second surface are substantially perpendicular to one another. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first surface and the second surface are adjacent to one another. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the perforation is configured to define the removable portion such that the removable portion is exposed through a first portion of the aperture defined by the first edge and through a second portion of the aperture defined by the second edge when the container is inserted into the hollow dispenser. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the aperture extends along a first plane and along a second plane, the first plane and the second plane being non-parallel to one another. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the first plane and the second plane are substantially perpendicular to one another. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the perforation is configured to define the removable portion such that the removable portion is exposed through the first plane and through the second plane when the container is inserted into the hollow dispenser. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the perforations are formed in at least two surfaces of the container. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a surface of the removable portion of the container exposed through the aperture when the container is inserted into the hollow dispenser has a dimension of at least 3 inches. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow dispenser comprises a movable panel, the movable panel configured to expose an opening for insertion of the container into the hollow dispenser. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the movable panel is fastened to another panel of the hollow dispenser by a hinge. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the perforation defines a protruding portion of the removable portion of the container. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein at least one of the first edge and the second edge defines a protruding portion of the aperture through which the protruding portion of the removable portion of the container is exposed when the container is inserted into the hollow dispenser. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a keyhole is defined in a panel of the hollow dispenser. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising a stand configured to support the hollow dispenser. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the dispensable items comprise facemasks. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein an edge of the hollow dispenser defines an opening configured to receive the hollow dispenser. 
     
     
         19 . An item dispenser, comprising:
 one or more panels comprising a first surface and a second surface,   wherein the first surface comprises a first edge and the second surface comprises a second edge, the first edge and the second edge defining at least a portion of an aperture in the item dispenser,   wherein the aperture extends along a first plane and along a second plane, the first plane and the second plane being non-parallel to one another,   wherein the item dispenser is configured to receive a container enclosing a plurality of dispensable items, and   wherein the item dispenser is configured such that a removable portion of the container is aligned with the aperture when the container is inserted into the hollow dispenser.   
     
     
         20 . A container enclosing a plurality of dispensable items and comprising a perforation defining a removable portion of the container,
 wherein the perforation extends along a first surface and along a second surface of the container,   wherein the container is configured to be inserted into a hollow dispenser, a first edge and a second edge of the hollow dispenser defining at least a portion of an aperture in the hollow dispenser, and   wherein the perforation is configured such that the removable portion of the container is aligned with the aperture when the container is inserted into the hollow dispenser.
