Abstract:
An item dispenser and methods for dispensing the item. In some embodiments of the invention, the item dispenser may include a housing, an item carriage, and a movable support. The movable support may be indexed to position the item carriage at (1) a first position in which the item carriage is positioned to release only a first item; and (2) a second position in which the item carriage is positioned to release a second item. In some embodiments of the invention, the dispenser may include a housing, a pivotable cap and a snap fastener. The snap fastener may extend from the cap to the housing and engage the housing to lock the cap in the closed position. The cap may be opened by moving an interference block away from a snap fastener lever.
Abstract:
Currently portable industrial camp shelters will be either wood frame construction or fabric tents. The former have restrictions on size and require special skills and equipment to install on site. The latter require plumbing and electrical installation to be installed on site. The present invention combines the advantages of frame structures and tents in a portable collapsible shelter by modifying standard shipping container structures (10) to provide fold-down side walls (12) which extend the floor space of the container and are provided with a retractable fabric cover (60) to enclose the extended space.
