INTERFOLDED NAPKIN DISPENSING SYSTEM

摘要

An interfolded paper napkin dispensing system composed of : a) an outer housing (12) defining an interior space (14); b) stacking means (16) mounted within the outer housing (12) for holding a stack of paper napkins (18) within the interior space (14); and c) a dispensing face (20) defined in the outer housing (12) proximate to an end of the stacking means (16). The dispensing face (20) has a central portion (22) projecting out from the dispenser and a dispensing throat (24) located in the central portion (22). The dispensing throat (24) is composed of a slot portion (26) having a length sufficient to permit a paper napkin to be pulled through by a user, but a relatively narrow width that prevents more than a few napkins from being pulled through the throat (24) at one time. The dispensing throat (24) further includes a finger access portion (28) to help a user grip and pull a paper napkin through the dispensing slot despite the relatively narrow width of the dispensing slot.
