ABSTRACT:
Dispenser for selectively dispensing contents includes a first element having a base portion and a peripheral sidewall that defines a cavity, and a second element rotatably mounted within the cavity. A number of compartments are provided along a peripheral portion of the upper surface of the second element. Each compartment is marked by indicia, and includes a sloped bottom wall, an open top, and an open outer end facing the peripheral sidewall so the contents loaded within the dispenser are contained within the compartments by the peripheral sidewall. An outlet is formed through the peripheral sidewall, and a tray member extends from the peripheral sidewall proximate to the outlet so the contents contained within a selected compartment are dispensed onto and retained by a retaining portion of the tray member when the second element is rotated relative to the first element. A transparent cover member that is moveable between a closed position and an open position is attached to the second element by hinges.
