Abstract
A refillable vender or dispenser for cotton swabs releasably carried cross-wise on an elongated flexible tape wound about itself to form a roll has a plurality of mating components releasably held together to define a chamber receiving the roll for rotation about a horizontal axis. The upper portion of the chamber has a chute receiving the leading end of the roll and discharging through a slot to an external lip supporting the exposed tape from which a swab is easily picked off of the tape. A finger hole overlying the chute provides for the pushing of the stick portions of the swabs to successively advance the tape beyond the discharge slot. The discharge slot has a severing edge to tear off that portion of the tape projecting beyond the discharge outlet.
