ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a portable handheld article dispenser comprised of an ergonomically snug grip body for use without the need for permanent attachement of the device to any structure or support surface. The interior of the portable handheld article dispenser comprises a cavity adapted to hold a roll of articles such as plastic bags. The upper section of one axial wall comprises a recessed portion to enable users to rest their thumb for an ergonomic firm grip and a slanted raised edge that provides a frictional surface to prevent the thumb from sliding. The middle portion of the same axial wall enabes the palmar muscles of the thumb to securely rest thereon, and its lower portion curves and comprises of a plurality of parallel grooves (striates) along the length of this edge for a more secure grip when users curl their hand to grip the dispenser. The other axial wall of the exterior comprises of convex portions between two hollow or concave sections that form a wavy contour to allow a user's fingers to rest in the incurvate areas of the waves for a secure and ergonomic grip of the device.
