The lid dispenser of the present invention has four rods which extend from t he front to the rear and which hold the lids thereon. The rods are connected at the front to individual lid dispensing pagers, and at the rear to arcuate tracks in an ad justment wheel. The front pagers are also mounted in an adjustment wheel with arcuate tracks . Both adjustment wheels have serrated or ridged cylindrical edges, which allow the click-positioning of the wheels at a desired position to force the rods and pagers into an evenly spaced radial position. Three plastic claws are flexibly supported on a supp ort member which is mounted for front-to-back movement on cover guide rods. Each claw m ember is connected by flexible bands to positionable fasteners which are fixed in radial slots in the support member which allow some radial movement of the claws as they eng age a cover. By use of such a dispenser in convenience stores and the like contac t bycustomers with lids other than those dispensed is av oided.
