ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for drinking straws is disclosed. The dispenser is a container which includes a front panel and an inclined bottom panel so that the straws within roll toward the front and pass through an elongated aperture. The leading straw rests against a rib projecting upward from the end of the bottom panel and blocks the aperture to retain the remaining straws within the container. Also included are a closure panel, hinged to a back panel, which allows access to the inside of the container, and side walls, which extend below the container to form supporting legs. A central opening enables one to grasp a straw by its central portion. The container is formed by the injection moulding of a plastic material in a single, substantially flat, unfolded sheet with a number of fold lines. Assembly is carried out by folding the sheet along the fold lines with the ends of the front panel positively engaging with the side walls.
