ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for dispensing a cotton-tipped swab in an upright, vertical position, is comprised of a stationary base having an upright chamber concentric about an axis. A container for holding a plurality of swabs in a generally upright position is telescopically received within the chamber for vertical axial movement therein between an upper normal position and a lower dispensing position. The container further includes axially aligned, opposed upper and lower, conical surfaces each having an axially aligned opening at the apex thereof. An upstanding rod member extends upward from the stationary base through the aperature in the lower conical surface in a manner to effect riding movement therewith. The upstanding rod member includes a specially configured swab engaging upper end and an annular shoulder which contacts the lower conical opening, by spring bias, to maintain the dispenser in its normal position. When the chamber is pushed down, the swab engaging upper end moves into the container and engages a swab which is dispensed through the upper opening.
