Abstract
A dispensing container incorporating front, rear and end walls, a bottom wall, and being normally opened at the top. The container is configured so that the upper edges of the walls thereof define vertically spaced apart upper and lower parallel edge portions interconnected by an intervening inclined portion. A closure of complementary contour to the configuration of the upper open end of the container is provided, with there being a hinged closure flap in normal covering relation to the container upper edge portion. By reason of the configuration of the container, a relatively reduced volume is presented beneath the closure flap for facilitating content dispensation. An independent chamber-defining member is slidably received upon said closure for creating an article display compartment. The container and chamber-defining member are fabricated of transparent plastic material.
