The dispenser of claim 11 wherein said support block extends in a longitudinal direction, and said upper portion is pivotally connected to said lower portion about a longitudinal axis. 15. The dispenser of claim 11 further comprising a locking member connecting said upper and lower portions when in said first position, wherein said locking member is moveable from a lock position, wherein said upper and lower portions are non-moveably connected in said first position, to a release position, wherein said upper and lower portions are moveably connected and are moveable to said second position. 16. The dispenser of claim 15 wherein said locking member comprises a first slot, said upper portion comprises a second slot aligned with said first slot, and said retainer comprises a follower moveable in said first and second slots. 17. The dispenser of claim 16 wherein at least a portion of said first slot is ramped along a longitudinal direction. 18. The dispenser of claim 17 wherein said locking member further comprises a third slot oriented substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, wherein said upper and lower portions each comprise a guide member disposed in said third slot, wherein said upper and lower portions are rotatable relative to said locking member as said guide members are moved in said third slot. 19. The dispenser of claim 15 wherein said locking member comprises a first stop member engaged with a second stop member so as to prevent movement of said locking member from said release position when said upper portion is in said second position relative to said lower portion. 20.
