Abstract

A dispenser having a base with a multiple of different sized perforated configurations which may be punched out and a groove for receiving a retaining tongue and a dispensing disk having an opening large enough to accommodate the largest perforation punch out. There is a cap having a slot for receiving the lever portion of the dispensing disk and a tongue for communication with the groove of the base, retaining the cap securely onto the base so that when the lever is moved back and forth a single unit is dispensed.
