Dispenser-Packaging for Protective Eyewear

Abstract

Aspects of the invention provide a dispenser-package for storing protective eyewear glasses comprising an exterior box having a top, a bottom and four sidewalls along a first length, and an interior retention mechanism for holding a plurality of protective eyewear glasses along a second length. The exterior box completely receives the interior retention mechanism and securely holds the plurality of protective eyewear glasses in place. The exterior box includes a detachable area in proximity to the bottom to allow accessing one or more of the protective eyewear glasses held in place. As a result, a more convenient and efficient way to store and distribute protective eyewear glasses encourages healthcare professionals and patients to wear them and maintain personal safety.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dispenser-package for storing protective eyewear glasses comprising:
 an exterior box having a top, a bottom and four sidewalls along a first length;   an interior retention mechanism for holding a plurality of protective eyewear glasses along a second length;   wherein the exterior box completely receives the interior retention mechanism to securely hold the plurality of protective eyewear glasses in place; and   wherein the exterior box includes a detachable area in proximity to the bottom to allow accessing one or more of the protective eyewear glasses held in place.   
     
     
         2 . The dispenser-package of  claim 1 , wherein the interior retention mechanism is substantially trapezoidal in shape with respect to the exterior box. 
     
     
         3 . The dispenser-package of  claim 1 , wherein removal of a pair of protective eyewear glasses allows remaining protective eyewear glasses along the interior retention mechanism to slide downward to the bottom with gravity when the exterior box is positioned upright. 
     
     
         4 . The dispenser-package of  claim 1 , further comprising a spacer held within the exterior box between an end of the second length of the interior retention mechanism and a remaining portion of the first length of the exterior box for securely holding the interior retention mechanism in the exterior box. 
     
     
         5 . The dispenser-package of  claim 4 , wherein the spacer held within the exterior box is in proximity to the bottom. 
     
     
         6 . The dispenser-package of  claim 1 , further comprising an exterior enclosure for rigidly supporting the dispenser-package. 
     
     
         7 . The dispenser-package of  claim 6 , wherein the exterior enclosure includes mounting holes for mounting the dispenser-package to a wall. 
     
     
         8 . The dispenser-package of  claim 1 , wherein the interior retention mechanism can securely hold at least 20 protective eyewear glasses along the second length. 
     
     
         9 . The dispenser-package of  claim 1 , further comprising an opening in a sidewall of the exterior box for showing remaining protective eyewear glasses along the interior retention mechanism. 
     
     
         10 . A dispenser-package for storing protective eyewear glasses comprising:
 an exterior box having a top, a bottom and four sidewalls along a first length, wherein the first length is greater than a width of the exterior box;   an interior retention mechanism that is substantially trapezoidal in shape with respect to the exterior box, wherein the exterior box completely receives the interior retention mechanism to securely hold the plurality of protective eyewear glasses in place;   an opening in a sidewall of the exterior box for showing remaining protective eyewear glasses along the second length; and   a detachable area in the exterior box formed by perforations in proximity to the bottom, wherein removal of the detachable area allows individually accessing the protective eyewear glasses held in place,   wherein the interior retention mechanism is configured so that removal of an individual pair of protective eyewear glasses allows the remaining protective eyewear glasses to slide downward along the second length to the bottom with gravity when the exterior box is positioned upright.   
     
     
         11 . The dispenser-package of  claim 10 , further comprising an exterior enclosure for rigidly supporting the exterior box, wherein the exterior enclosure includes mounting holes for mounting the dispenser-package to a wall, and wherein the interior retention mechanism can securely hold at least 24 protective eyewear glasses along the second length. 
     
     
         12 . A method for storing protective eyewear glasses comprising:
 holding a plurality of protective eyewear glasses in place along a second length of an interior retention mechanism; and   placing the interior retention mechanism completely in an exterior box having a top, a bottom and four sidewalls along a first length;   wherein the exterior box includes a detachable area in proximity to the bottom to allow accessing one or more of the protective eyewear glasses held in place.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the interior retention mechanism is substantially trapezoidal in shape with respect to the exterior box thereby allowing protective eyewear glasses to securely wrap around the interior retention mechanism. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein removal of a pair of protective eyewear glasses allows remaining protective eyewear glasses along the interior retention mechanism to slide downward to the bottom with gravity when the exterior box is positioned upright. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein a spacer is held within the exterior box between an end of the second length of the interior retention mechanism and a remaining portion of the first length of the exterior box for securely holding the interior retention mechanism in the exterior box. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the spacer held within the exterior box is in proximity to the bottom 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising rigidly supporting the dispenser-package with an exterior enclosure. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the exterior enclosure includes mounting holes for mounting the dispenser-package to a wall. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the interior retention mechanism can securely hold at least 24 protective eyewear glasses along the second length. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein a sidewall of the exterior box includes an opening for showing remaining protective eyewear glasses along the interior retention mechanism.
