Abstract

A napkin dispenser designed primarily for disposition on a restaurant table or counter and normally housing a stack of paper napkins. The dispenser is in the form of a parallelopiped with a top access opening for loading and removing napkins. The opening is generally rectangular or may taper slightly from one end ot the other. An important feature is that the edges of the opening extend outwardly, providing a relatively narrow peripheral arcuate flange or lip around the opening, the effect of which is lead a napkin gently outwardly without likelihood of damage to the exiting napkin. My improved construction more or less insures extraction of a single napkin at a time, inhibiting vandalism and results in substantial economy of construction and operation. Another improved feature is a novel follower arrangement including a coil spring for urging the napkins toward the egress opening and designed to insure that the coil spring is maintained in proper axial alignment for maximum efficiency.
