Abstract

A dispensing container for storing and dispensing articles in a vehicle having a cylindrical container body, wherein the container body is receivable within a beverage holder in a vehicle. The container body will preferably have a diameter in the range of 2.6 to 2.8 inches to fit securely into a conventional vehicle cup holder. The container body includes at least one side wall, a bottom surface, and a top surface. The articles may be dispensed from an aperture provided in the top surface of the container body, or, alternatively, from a tear-away section formed along a scored portion of the top surface and a scored portion of the side wall which is torn open to allow access to the articles within said container body. The container body may further include a reinforcing support positioned adjacent to a side wall for providing additional lateral support for the container body. Additionally, the dispensing container may include a stabilizing device positioned adjacent to the bottom surface for providing additional balance to retain the container body in an upright position within the vehicle beverage holder. The top surface of the dispensing container may also include a removable lid to allow access to the articles within the container and to allow the container to be refilled.
