US Patent 11930946 Portable toothpick dispenser

A portable toothpick dispenser particularly suited for storing and dispensing nicotine-infused toothpicks incorporates a child-resistant housing closure for preventing access to toothpicks stored within an interior toothpick storage space. Front and rear housing portions are contiguous with one another via a living hinge located along aligned housing sides to form a clamshell-like housing structure. Disengagement of a housing closure locking structure requires a user to simultaneously press central portions of corresponding front and rear housing portion bodies inwardly toward one another.
