USPTO Application #: 20090166374
Title: Storage and dispensing device for stacked articles
Abstract: A storage and dispensing device for stacked articles has a sliding panel, a main frame mounted on the sliding panel, two holders respectively mounted on the main frame and two clip assemblies respectively mounted on the holders. When the sliding panel slides toward one direction, the two holders slide toward each other and the two clip assemblies slide toward reverse directions. Therefore, one stacked articles falls on the holders. Afterwards, when the sliding panel slides toward another direction, the two holders slide toward reverse directions and the two clip assemblies slide toward each other to hold the other stacked articles. Consequently, the stacked article that falls on the holders further falls on and dispenses users with the stacked article. (end of abstract)
