Abstract

A product dispenser (10) comprising a cover (12), a slidable push element (14), a base (16) and a landing (126) is provided. The cover (12) and the base (16) are rotatable with respect to each other about a common axis. The cover (12) comprises a roof opening (123) in which the push element (14) slides in opposing directions, advancing product from the interior of the cover (12) onto the landing (126). In a preferred embodiment, the dispenser (10) houses miniatures zinc air batteries, secured to the base (16) using an adhesive platform (175). When a cell is advanced from the interior of the cover onto (12) the landing (126), the cell is separated from the adhesive platform (175), allowing air to pass into the cell and the cell to be activated. The landing (126) preferably comprises a magnet (327) for releasably securing product. The dispenser (10) is then used as an inserter for orienting and placing the product in position in a device. the product is not directly handled during its removal from the dispenser or during its insertion into a device. In the case of a zinc air cell, the cell is untabbed without any direct handling of tab material by the user, and the material functioning as a tab stays with the dispenser upon separation from the cell.
