Abstract
A dispenser of small hardware items includes a generally parallelepiped-shaped box with having a base containing a side opening for access to the interior. At least one removable cartridge is insertable within the box and has similar cross-sectional dimensions as the box, each cartridge containing a plurality of stacked holders for the hardware items. The cartridge further has a removable closure located at its base and positioned adjacent to the base of the box thereby permitting removal of holders one at a time through the side opening, upon removal of the closure. Each holder further includes a card having a foil backing of easily breakable material and a transparent cover bonded on preselected areas to the backing thereby creating distributed raised cells, between the backing and cover, for receiving hardware items of identical characteristics.
