ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for serially dispensing discrete folded sheet products from a stack through an opening in a nose piece. The nose piece includes two pairs of contact elements disposed at different planes whereby the napkin prior to dispensing is subjected to two sequential bending steps with the bends being formed at right angles to one another. During the bending steps a flap terminal end is unsupported by the nose piece over the central portion of the flap terminal end and the bending of the folded sheet product urges the flap terminal end outwardly of the rest of the product to facilitate grasping and removal.
