Nicotine pouch dispenser

Abstract

A spring-loaded nicotine pouch dispenser which enables users to access nicotine pouches quickly and easily. The nicotine pouch dispenser utilizes a dual-spring setup working in tandem underneath a plate to support the pouches and press them up to the body towards the opening. The retention prongs and semicircular cutout at the opening keep the pouches inline and secure from falling out while still being easy to access. The entire mechanism is encased in an outer body shell and a flip cap resulting in a completely sealed waterproof design that allows for easy, one-handed operation, eliminating the need for great strength or dexterity.

         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom seal is attached to the body through welding, plastic welding, adhesives, screws, latches, or other permanent or semi-permanent joining process. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the holster has a female coupling component of a quick connect system built in to attach at least one attachment with a male coupling component. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one attachment with the male coupling component includes a belt clip, a magnet, a key loop, and/or a suction cup. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one attachment with the male coupling component is locked into place via the quick connect system with a ninety-degree turn. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one shim attached to an inner side wall of the body to adjust to a size of the nicotine pouch. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one spring is positioned around at least one cylindrical extension protruding from a bottom side of the plate. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the bottom seal includes at least one second cylindrical extension, wherein the at least one second cylindrical extension retains the at least one spring in place on the bottom seal. 
     
     
         9 . A system for dispensing nicotine pouches, comprising:
 a spring-loaded nicotine pouch dispenser, including:
 a body including an upper body section and a lower body section, wherein the upper body section includes a cutout on a top face of the upper body section, wherein the cutout includes at least one retention prong, wherein the lower body section includes at least one hinge; 
 a plate installed below the cutout and the at least one retention prong; 
 a cap attached to the body by the at least one hinge;

 wherein the spring-loaded nicotine pouch dispenser is operable to dispense at least one nicotine pouch. 
   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the bottom seal is attached to the body through welding, plastic welding, adhesives, screws, latches, or other permanent or semi-permanent joining process. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein at least one second hinge is mounted on a backside of the lower body section. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the holster has a female coupling component of a quick connect system built in to attach at least one attachment with a male coupling component. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one attachment with the male coupling component includes a belt clip, a magnet, a key loop, and/or a suction cup. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one attachment with the male coupling component is locked into place via the quick connect system with a ninety-degree turn. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one spring is positioned around at least one cylindrical extension protruding from a bottom side of the plate. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the bottom seal includes at least one second cylindrical extension, wherein the at least one second cylindrical extension is operable to retain the at least one spring. 
     
     
         17 . A system for dispensing nicotine pouches, comprising:
 a spring-loaded nicotine pouch dispenser, including:
 a body including an upper body section and a lower body section, wherein the upper body section includes a cutout on a top face of the upper body section, wherein the cutout includes at least one retention prong, wherein the lower body section includes at least one hinge; 
 a plate installed below the cutout and the at least one retention prong; 
 a cap attached to the body by the at least one hinge and a pin, wherein the cap includes a lip protruding from a body of the cap; 
 a bottom seal attached to a bottom end of the body; and 
 at least one spring mounted between the bottom seal and the plate; 
 wherein the spring-loaded nicotine pouch dispenser is operable to store a nicotine pouch and further operable to dispense the nicotine pouch; and
