Napkin dispenser

Abstract

An improved napkin device is set forth. The device includes a front face adapted for opening to load napkins therein. A first downwardly angled steel rod is fixed to a first side face, and a second downwardly angled steel rod is fixed to a second side face. Each of the steel rods has a substantially circular cross section. A plate adapted to slide along the first and second steel rods until it reaches a stop, disposed perpendicular to the first and second side faces of the device is provided. The stop is connected to the first and second side faces. The plate comes to rest at the stop as it slides along the first and second steel rods.

1 . An improved napkin dispenser comprising:
 a front face having a substantially centrally located opening adapted to fit napkins pulled therethrough;   a back face connecting two side faces to the front face;   at least one steel rod having a substantially circular cross section, downwardly angled along an inside wall of a side of the dispenser;   a plate, formed of a sheet of material having a substantially similar size and configuration as a conventional napkin, having protruding members adapted to slide along the steel rod; and   wherein the plate moves toward the front face by sliding the protruding members in the substantially parallel slots and stops when it reaches a stop provided on a bottom of the dispenser, wherein the stop is substantially perpendicular to a side wall of the dispenser.   
     
     
         2 . An improved napkin device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an upwardly sloped bottom connected to a rear stop. 
     
     
         3 . An improved napkin device as claimed in  claim 2 , further an opening provided in a back face of the dispenser for dispensing napkins therefrom. An improved napkin device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a hinge at a bottom of the front face. 
     
     
         4 . An improved napkin device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the protruding members are further defined by downwardly extending angled notches having a substantially circular cross section. 
     
     
         5 . An improved napkin device comprising:
 a front face adapted for opening to load napkins therein;   a first downwardly angled steel rod fixed to a first side face, and a second downwardly angled steel rod fixed to a second side face, each of the steel rods having a substantially circular cross section;   a plate adapted to slide along the first and second steel rods; and   a stop, disposed perpendicular to the first and second side faces and connected thereto, for stopping the plate as it slides along the first and second steel rods.   
     
     
         6 . An improved napkin device as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 a sloped floor connected to a back stop of the device.   
     
     
         7 . An improved napkin device as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 Third and fourth steel rods provided along the first and second side faces, repectively, and adapted to slide the plate thereon.   
     
     
         8 . An improved napkin device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the third and fourth steel rods have a substantially circular cross-section.
