    This 3 sentence summary describes a 1952 patent for a cheese dispenser: The patent describes a molded plastic dispenser box that holds cheese packages. It has a hinged door and an internal screw mechanism connected to a sliding knife blade. Turning the screw pushes the cheese out while the sliding knife blade can cut off pieces of cheese to the desired length when drawn through slots in the box walls.

    products in measured quantities.
    Several food products, including variouskinds
    of cheeses, margarine and butter, are today sold
    in paper packages of various. sizes;

    30. Top 14 is provided with a slot 800. which
    connects the two openings 28 in the manner
    shown in Figure 7. The bottom is provided
    with projecting spaced lugs 3| that are per
    for-ated for the reception of a hinge pin 32. A

    door 33 is provided with perforated hinge lugs


    35 so positioned that they enter the spaces be

    tween adjacent lugs 3|. Hinge pin 32 extends


    through lugs 34 as well as through lugs 32, and

    openings for parts 29 and for the hinge pin 32


    can be formed at the time the box is molded.

    The door and end 15 are formed in separate


    molds. Due to the fact that end 15 is inserted
    after the box is otherwise formed, threaded mem
    ber 20 and nut 23 can be assembled in end l5
    before the latter is attached to the open end of
    the box.

    Having described the invention, what I claim

    forms a hinge in the usual manner. The door 10 as new is:


    1. A device for dispensing cheese and the like
    can be moved into closed position as shown in
    in measured quantities comprising an elongated
    Figure 7, or into extended open position as shown

    in .Figures 3 and 8. When the door is in the
    closed, a screw supported for rotation within the
    position shown in Figure 7, it is held- in that
    box near the top thereof, means accessible on
    position by means of a spring 35 or any other
    the outside of the box for turning the screw, a
    suitable means.

    The ends of side members 29 of the U-shaped


    handle are connected by means of a steel knife

    blade 36.

    This knife blade is preferably posi

    tioned as shown in Figure 9; that is, it is inclined

    with respect to the axis or plane of the U-shaped


    member. Knife blade 38 is also inclined with
    respect to the handle in the manner shown in
    Figure 10. This is for the purpose which will

    under surface of the top of the box which the
    screw and nut are positioned forming means

    for limiting the rotation of the nut about the


    axis of the screw, a blade secured to the nut,

    projecting downwardly therefrom, vertical tubu

    point below the upper surface of the bottom
    or box has been constructed in the manner de
    communicating the guide openings with the in
    scribed and shown, and that a package of cheese,
    terior of the box, and a knife blade connecting
    is positioned in the box. Door 33 is then opened

    blade has therefore been inclined as~ shown in
    Figure 10. From Figure 4 it will be seen that 45 tially the same cross sectional shape as the food
    package, the top of the box having a groove in
    the knife blade slot 36 extends down below the
    its under surface extending substantially the
    top of ribs 25, thereby permitting the knife blade

    to cut entirely through the cheese and the bottom

    ticularly to Figure 8, it will be observed that 50 closed, a bearing block in the groove near the
    front end, a screw positioned in the groove, the
