Abstract
A dispenser for dispensing individual interleaved and/or releasably attached articles such as sheets impregnated with moisture or a composition or substance useful for treating, cleaning and/or disinfecting various surfaces, including the human skin. The dispenser includes a dispensing element including at least one larger aperture and a smaller aperture entirely separated from one another. A closure or lid can usefully be incorporated. The articles may easily be reached from above the top surface of the dispenser through the larger aperture, and fed through from underneath the top surface to the small aperture. Thereafter, the articles may be dispensed through the small aperture, e.g., in a pop-up mode. The arrangement of the elements is conducive to one-handed dispensing of articles from the dispenser.
