Abstract

Abstract The disclosure relates to a disposal device for gum and the like having a generally cubical housing, a disposable bag removably supported therein, and appropriate access openings for gum disposal and bag removal. Each of the side walls of the housing is formed with a slot therein for the insertion of a sheet of advertising or other printed display material. The side walls are made of transparent or clear plastic material for best viewing the display material. The housing includes a recess in one of the side walls for holding a packet of wrapping tissues for the sanitary disposal of spent chewing gum. A turntable supports the housing for easy rotation on a table top, such that the side wall mounted tissues may be brought within convenient reach, and the display panels may be readily viewed by many persons seated at the same table.
