ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for vials having a body and a captive cap includes a plurality of elongate tubes mounted on a support structure such that the axis of the tubes is generally vertical. An elongate slot extends from the top of each tube to the bottom thereof. Each slot has a non-vertically aligned offset near the bottom thereof. The vials include a body which is received in the tubular member so as to nest with other vial bodies and a cap which is hingedly connected at a neck to the vial body. The slot is substantially smaller than both the diameter of the vial body and cap, but slidably receives the neck. In this manner, the bodies are received within the tubular member and the caps extend outwardly therefrom. The neck of each successive vial as same arrives at the lower end of the tubular member engages the offset and supports the associated vial as well as all of the vials thereabove, until a user rotates the lowest vial to overcome the offset at which time the lowest vial is released to the user and the upper vials remain within the tubular member. A hinge cover allows the vials to be resupplied but prevents dirt from entering the vials.
