Abstract

A toothpicks dispenser is made up of a top cover, a box embodiment, a bottom board, a holder plate, a pair of pivotal dispensing plane units jointly engaged with the holder plate by a shaft pin and retractably operable by a bias spring. The holder plate and the two symmetric dispensing plane units are integrally housed in the box embodiment which is provided with a rectangular cut at each longitudinal side wall and a flanged top opening with which the top cover is registered. The holder plate of a roof shape is made up of two symmetric oblique planes on which toothpicks are piled up. The two dispensing plane units placed under and in pivotal engagement with the holder plate are provided with a horizontal press wing tab and a vertical toothpick shooting edge on the longitudinal outer side thereof respectively. On a shoulder of each longitudinal side of the box embodiment is disposed a dispensing slot for distribution of an obliquely raised toothpick in each operation after the horizontal press wing of each dispensing plane unit is pressed and released wherein a toothpick on the oblique planes of the holder plate will drop into contact with one of the toothpick shooting edges and be popped out of one of the dispensing slot as the downwardly pressed dispensing plane unit retracts by the bias spring.
