NAPKIN DISPENSER.
Application filed m 21,
This invention relates to napkin dispensers, and has for an object to provide an improved construction wherein folded napkins are held properly'in position for vending.
7 Another object of the invention is to provide a napkin folder or dispenser wherein means are provided which will cause the edges or certain sections of the napkin to project outwardly from the holder, whereby the napkin may be readily grasped.
A still further object, more specifically, is to provide a holder and vending apparatus with rounded apertured portions and swinging weights for forcing folded napkins toward the apertured portions in such a mannor that the napkins will be caused to buckle and open the folded sections. I I
In the accompanyingdrawings,-
Figure l is a perspective view of a napkin dispenser disclosing an embodiment of the invention;
Figure 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view through Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view through Figure 2 on the line 33;
Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional vlew through Figure 2 on the line 44;
Figure 5 is a perspective View on a reduced scale with one of the folded napkins shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates a casing preferably of metal and preferably substantially rectangular, but provided on the front and rear faces withrounded panels 2. The top and bottom respectively are provided with projections 3 coacting with the panels 2. Each of the panels 2 is provided with an opening or cut-away portion 4 which is somewhat enlarged at the center, namely, at point 5, whereby the hand of a person may more readily grasp the edges 6 and 7 of the sections 8 and 9 of the folded napkin 10. The napkin 10 is made of paper of any desired kind and folded as clearly set forth in the 1 co-pending application of C. H. Coons, whereby the sections 8 and 9, when released, will spring upwardly, as shown in Figure 5, or when the napkin is closed on a vertical central line, will spring outwardly, as indicated' more particularly in Figure 3. In order that the sections 8 and 9 may move outwardly and particularly the edges 6 and 7, so that they will assume the position 1928. Serial No. 294,541;
shown in Figure 8, the panels 2 are decidedly rounded and the respective packages vor bunches 11 and 12 of napkins are forced toward these panel's by thelower ends 13 and a 14 of the weights 15 and 16. These weights are formed as right angle members with extensions17 and 18 projecting through suitable apertures in the side plates 19 and 20.
The side plates 19 and 20 are soldered,
curl outwardly slightly as the sections 8 and 9 somewhat expand." This permits a ready hand-hold for a person when removing a napkin. In devices heretofore different folds have been provided, but in each instance it was necessary to press downwardly on the napkin in order to get the edge of the fold or a part of the napkin. By reason of the particular fold and the way the members 2 are formed, the folded edges 6 and 7 are automatically held in a position to be readily grasped. As indicated particularly in Figure 3, the casing 1 is provided with suitable bentout members 21 presenting runways for the respective members 2, so that these members may be slid into position and may be removed at any time in order that new batches or supplies of folded napkins may be inserted. After a supply of napkins has been inserted, the dispenser is set up on end, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 and the weights 15 and 16 automatically swing so that the lower ends will press the napkins outwardly and'thereby produce the bulged or rounded formation shown in Figure 5. As the weights move the napkins to their curved position, as shown in Figure 3, the outermost napkin auton'iatically assumes the osition wit-h the edges 6 and 7 slightly turned outwardly. lVhen the napkin is removed by grasping one of the edges 6 and 7 and then pulling the same the next napkin will automatically take its place andthe edges will automatically swing outwardly a short distance, This is caused cf 2 and action (15119 weights,-
largely by the shape though augmented by the resiliency of the paper.
That I claim is 1. A napkin dispenser, comprising acasing open at the front and back from top to bottom, said casing along the edges of the opening being formed with turned-over portions presenting guiding grooves, an apertured arc-shaped panel for the front, can apertured are-shaped panel for the rear, saiid panels being arc-shaped throughout, said panels being slidably mounted in said grooves and completely closing said openin and a swinging weight arranged interiorly of the casing for forcing part of the napkins carried by the easing into said apertures, wherebythey may be readily grasped for removal.
2. A napkin dispenser, including a casing having a rounded face for its entire area,
said facehaving a comparatively large elongated opening extending from near the top to near the bottom, a substantially L-shaped weight arranged in the casing and means for pivotally supportlng said welghtat one end of one of the legs thereof, whereby the opposite end of the other leg Wlll press against napkins in the casing to force the same toward and into said opening, said last-mentioned leg extending transversely across the napkins for almost the full width of the napkins.
3. A napkin dispenser for dispensing folded napkins, comprising a casing, a plurality of rounded panels 'carriedby the easing,each of said tpanels having centrally positioned openings extending from near the top to near the bottom thereof so as to expose napkins in the casing, an inner frame arranged in the casing and a pan of weights oanel havin a centrall Jositioned o )enin D U extending from near the top to near the bottom so as to expose napkins in the casing, an inner frame arranged in the casing and a weight pivotally carried by the frame, said Weight having projections extending into said frame, said projections being so located that the end opposite the projections will automatically swing for forcing the napkins toward the opening in said panel.
