ABSTRACT:
Broadly, the present invention provides a folded sheet dispenser with a vertical end opening extending into the top with a unique, new and novel, internal control plate which controls the one at a time consecutive removal of folded sheets in a horizontal and somewhat vertical direction from within the dispenser and through the end opening. This folded sheet dispenser with the end opening and the internal control plate are the two basic features of this invention which can be combined in the refillable, molded plastic design as well as with the disposable cardboard design. The refillable dispensers in various configurations will accept a packet of folded sheets which have been compressed to reduce shipping costs and are placed inside the dispenser body through the bottom or the end and are then dispensed through the vertical end slot and controlled by the internal control plate which floats on top of the top most folded sheet inside the dispenser and controls the interply friction between the interlayers of folded sheets where it dispenses one, and only one, folded sheet at a time and causes the next consecutive folded sheet to automatically protrude through the end opening as a folded sheet is removed. Where the layers of folded sheets are exposed at the vertical end opening they may also be removed as a small packet of folded sheets. The other new and novel feature of my invention is the compresses packet of folded sheets, restrained by a wrapper or plastic sleeve, and which are contained within a poly wrapped bulk pack, with or without, the molded plastic dispenser included within the bulk pack as detailed and as taught in this invention.
