ABSTRACT:
A napkin dispenser is fabricated from plastic by means of conventional injection molding or other techniques. The dispenser comprises a first and second housing sections which are pivotally coupled by means of a hinge member partially formed on the bottom surface of each housing. Each section contains a napkin accommodating hollow which interfaces with a dispensing aperture on a front wall of the housing. Located between the napkin accommodating hollow and the bottom wall of the housing is a cantilever platform which has first and second recesses. The recesses of one housing are offset with respect to recesses contained in the associated housing on a similar platform. A first plastic spring member has two arcuate arms which are secured within recesses of one housing. A second plastic spring member of a similar configuration has two respective arms which are associated with the recesses in the other housing. When the spring members are secured within the recesses, the arms of each member are adjacent one another to allow movement of the spring members in a direction to urge the respective napkin stacks located in the hollows of the housing towards the dispensing aperture in a closed position. In an opened position, the spring members are urged together to allow one to insert a stack of napkins when the same has been depleted during ordinary use.
