Abstract
The invention provides a dispenser for dispensing articles such as sweeteners one at a time from a supply of such articles held within the dispenser. The dispenser consists of two parts, a container closed at one end and open at the other end and a cap to close the open end of the container. A device is provided within the container and connected to the cap for segregating and orienting the articles as they are moved towards the cap and there is an opening in the cap through which the articles can be dispensed. There is a pocket or cut-out in the side wall of the container at the open end and there is a protective ramp adjacent to the opening to prevent more than one article being dispensed at one time.
