Abstract

A disposable glove dispenser bracket includes a back panel with a magnetic pad attached thereto for supporting the dispenser and lateral side panels with flanges to grip and hold a glove dispenser box. A biasing spring maintains the glove dispenser box appropriately positioned within the dispenser bracket.

Claims

1. A disposable glove dispenser bracket for holding any one of a number of disposable glove containers comprising, in combination:

a three sided elongate channel including a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side spaced from the first lateral side, said first and second lateral sides joined respectively to the back side along first and second parallel, connection boundaries, said first and second lateral sides being generally congruent in size and shape and extending outwardly from the back side and generally parallel to one another, said sides defining an open top;

said lateral sides each terminating at a front edge, each lateral side including a lower edge;

a retention flange at each front and each lower edge of each lateral side, each retention flange extending inwardly toward one another, said retention flanges being spaced from one another, said lateral side lower edge retention flanges comprising spaced container support members, said lateral side front edge retention flanges comprising spaced container retention members;

a separate biasing member formed integrally in the back side and in each of said lateral sides, each of said biasing members extending toward the region between the back and the lateral sides, said biasing members in the form of an inclined planar member with an end tab extending laterally between the sides and downwardly from the open ton whereby a glove container with an open front can be inserted downwardly into the dispenser bracket between the lateral sides and retained by the biasing member end tabs and the retention flanges.

2. The dispenser bracket of claim 1 further including a magnetic member mounted on the back side to attach the dispenser bracket onto a magnetizable material surface.

3. The dispenser bracket of claim 1 wherein the biasing member end tabs substantially align with each other for engagement with a box.
