ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for storing and sequentially dispensing flexible, disposable lids for cups such as those used with soft drinks, coffee, soups, or the like from a nested stack of lids held in an elongated container by a dispensing rod disposed across one side of its lower end. The dispensing rod projects through a wall of the container and is attached to a turning handle. In resting position, an edge portion of the circular surface of the lowermost lid sits on the dispensing rod, a lip portion of which extends tangentially outward and clockwise. When rotated, the lip portion of the rotatable dispensing rod engages a portion of the outer wall of the lowermost lid, slightly flexing the lid so that it becomes separated from the stack and drops into a catch tray.
