Dispenser for rolled, perforated, folded, and/or interwoven bags, wipes and other flexible dispensible materials

A dispensing device comprising:

• a container retaining a dispensable material, the container having:
• a faceplate with at least three members forming a substantially triangular aperture through which the dispensable material is fed, the faceplate having a terminating slot at one vertex of the aperture;
• and
• an interior surface forming a cradle within the container for releasably retaining the dispensable material through the aperture of the faceplate;
• and
• a guide member positioned behind, and guiding the material towards, the vertex of the aperture with the terminating slot, said guide member having a smooth surface and positioned near a lower portion of the faceplate and away from a wider portion of the aperture such that the guide member forces the material to turn at a sharp angle and in a controlled manner when pulled upward and out through the wider portion of the aperture;
• and
• a space between the faceplate and the guide member, with the space allowing the material to be pulled towards the wider opening or downward towards the terminating slot.

A method for dispensing material from a container having at least one interior surface and a faceplate, the method comprising:

• releasably retaining the material in a cradle formed by the at least one interior surface;
• feeding the material through a substantially triangular aperture in the faceplate, the aperture having a terminating slot at one vertex of the aperture, with the substantially triangular aperture formed by a least three members of the faceplate;
• positioning a guide member behind the vertex of the aperture with the terminating slot;
• forming a space between the faceplate and the guide member;
• guiding the dispensable material, using the guide member, towards the vertex of the aperture with the terminating slot, said guide member having a smooth surface and positioned near a lower portion of the faceplate and away from a wider portion of the aperture such that the guide member forces the material to turn at a sharp angle and in a controlled manner when pulled upward and out through the wider portion of the aperture;
• and
• allowing, using the space, the dispensable material to be pulled upward towards the wider opening or downward towards the terminating slot.
