PAUL H. HDRWITT, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORRE, ASll1iiN0EtV TO INDEPENDENT PAPR MIl`.LS, INC., OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, A CORPORATION' OF NEW YORK.
FOR NAPKINS ADLTHE LIKE.
Application mea .my s,
' LTo all' whom it muy concern.' V
Be it known that I, PAUL'H. Hon-wirr, a
,citizen of the United States,`and resident of the borough 'of Brooklyn, county of Kings,
city and- State of New York, have invented4 certain new and useful Improvements in Stands for Napkins and the like, of which the followin is a specification.
My invention relates to stands for stacks of napkins or their equivalent and more particularly to stands for paper napkins,
-tion to avoid waste which results from the unintentional withdrawal of more than one napkinor their equivalent when but one is desired. Other more Vspecific objects will appear from the description hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate an example of the invention without stack of napkins or their equivalent thereon;
sol
defining its limits, l ,is a sectional elevation of the novel stand with the novel Fig. 2 is a plan` view thereof and Fig. 3 is a plan view o f the stack of napkins or its equivalent.
The present invention consists in folding the napkins or theirnequivalent into oblong rectangular shape and then arranging the same in the form of a'stack in which adjacent napkins extend at right angles to each other with their contiguous. ends overlapping so that the complete stack, when virrfedv from above, has the form of ar squared rectangle as shown in Fig. 3. With this arrangement there is always a terminal napkin which lies at the upper end of the stack and is free to be removed therefrom. The latter is combined with a holder land with a member located at one end of the stack and having slots disposed in registry with one end of each series ot' napkins composing said stack so that as each'successive napkin becomes the terminal napkin its one end will be opposite a slot oit said memberl through which it may be readily withdrawn withoutdisturbing any of the other napkins inthe stack.
In its illustrated form the stand com- 192s. semi Nojeaasea.
prises a basei trom which a pedestal 6 rises as shown in Fig. 1, said pedestal being provided at its upper end with a plate or other Fig. 1, saidl member being rovid'ed-with slots 9, 9, 9b and 9c located in registry respectively with the free ends a of the series of napkinsa, a', a2, and a as shown in Fig. 2. In the preferred arrangement flanges 10 depend from .the member 8 and enclose the stackof napkins or their equivalent asindicated in Fig. 1.
-In practice the 4end a* of the terminal napkin which, in the illustrated example,
'support 7 upon which the stack of napkins '7o upon the upper end thereof as shown in isone of-.the series a, is located in registry with the slot 9 of the member 8 and because ofthe pressure exerted by the latter upon the stack is ,given a slight upward turn as shown in Fig. 1 which makes said end readily accessible through saidslot 9. This terminal napkin a. may thus be readily removed through the slot 9 by exerting a pull.
upon its end a Without in any way disturbing the other napkins of the stack. As the napkin a is thus removed one of thena kins a' will become the terminal napkin an its end a* will similarly be turned upwardly through the slot 9 of'said member 8. In the same way a napkin a and a will succeively become the terminal napkin and have an end a* turned upwardly through the slots 9b and 9e respectively. -In this way individual napkins from each series may he4 successively removed through the slots 9. 9, 9J and 9 Without disturbing the remainder of the stack.
It will be understood that when I speak herein of napkins I intend to include all equivalents of paper napkins which might be displayed for use in a stand of the described form. It will further be understood uit in. the drawings and that in some cases the member 8 may he stationary while the Support 7 or its eqivalent progressively moves toward the same as the terminal napkinsor their equivalent are removed; in the latter form the device might be used in a position inverted with respect to that illutsrated in the. drawings.
The device'pro'vides for the ready removal ofindividu'al napkins in a 'simple manner and does away with indiscriminate handling of the napkins or their equivalent so that the latter. are protected against contamination and are maintained in a sanitary wholesome condition. i
Various changes in the specific -frm shown and described mav be made within the scope of the claims ivithout from .the spirit of 'the invention.
I claim: i 1. The combination of a holder, a stack of sheets combined therewith, said sheets al- 'depart-ing ternately extending at right angles to eachA other and having .their 'contiguous endsv overlappingr and a member' located.v at one end ofsaid stack and having slots in registry with the free ends of the sheetsof said staek through. which a, terminal sheet may be re# moved from said stack.
2. 'I`he\eombinati0n of a holder, a stack .of paper napkins or the like consisting of napltrinsfgoi the like alternately extending at righe aii'gles to each other and 'overlappingn at contiguous 'ends and va, member adapted to exert a pressure upon said stack and .having slots in registry'with one end of y each series of napkins or the like in said stack through'which a terminal napkin or the like may be removed from said'staek.
3. The combination of a holder, a stack of papernapkins or the like consistin of napkins or the like Valternately exten ing' PAUL H. I-IORWITT.
