ABSTRACT:
A holder for toothpicks and the like comprises a one-piece receptacle that is open at its rear and a one-piece retaining member that closes the rear of the receptacle and supports it. The receptacle has an upright front wall from which side walls project rearward, and at its bottom it has forwardly and downwardly inclined upper and lower outlet walls which converge forwardly to have their parallel laterally extending front edges spaced apart vertically by a small distance. The front portion of the lower outlet wall is flatwise flexible so that a toothpick can be drawn out forwardly between those front edges, each outlet wall having a central bay in its front edge for access to the toothpick. Receptacle and retaining member are slidingly connected by laterally outwardly projecting flanges along the rear edges of the receptacle side walls received in channel portions along opposite side edges of the generally flat retaining member. An abutment on the top of the receptacle defines an upper limit of sliding. The retaining member is impregnated with magnetized material to be magnetically adherent to an upright metal support such as a napkin holder.
