Abstract
The invention provides a set of spring-like tongues for mounting in a compartment, for frictionally retaining differing objects, in particular sanitary commodities such as tampons, tampex cartridges and the like, comprising a plurality of juxtaposed spring-like tongues, longitudinally extending from a common head rail, which spring-like tongues are pre-bent in such a way that, starting from points adjacent to the head rail, they slope substantially away from the plane containing major surfaces of the head rail. The invention also provides a compartment for frictionally retaining and dispensing of differing objects incorporating such a set of spring-like tongues.
