ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for dispensing paper articles, such as coffee filters, from a nested stack of such articles is described. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an open-topped container and a separate lid having a mechanism for retrieving one coffee filter from a nested stack of filters. A pair of tabs are pivotally connected to the lid portion and extend through slots in the lid portion. A spring extends between the two tabs to maintain the tabs in an initial position. An elongate member depends from each tab, and the lower end of each member bears a contact surface bearing an adhesive or high friction material. In use, the tab upper ends are manually pivoted toward one another so that the elongate members bring the contact surface into an engaged position with the topmost filter in the stack. The lid is then withdrawn from the container with a single filter, leaving the remaining nested filters in the container.
