Abstract
A key storage container receives, stores and dispenses along a longitudinal axis a supply of identical key storage tags, each of which holds a key blank. The key storage container includes a horizontally oriented base and vertically oriented sidewalls. The sidewall includes a first sidewall segment aligned with and extending vertically upward from the front of the base as well as a second sidewall segment which completes the vertically oriented sidewall of the key storage container. A dispensing aperture is located at the junction of the first sidewall segment with the base and includes a height and width sufficient to allow the maximum cross sectional area of the lowest key storage tag stacked within the storage volume of the key storage container to be longitudinally displaced along the base of the storage volume through the dispensing aperture.
