Abstract
A portable towel dispenser that dispenses towels from an open top portion of a hollow rectangular shaped container. A slider is provided with a retainer portion for holding the towels down and a lifter portion for successively lifting each towel. Further provided on the slider is two parallel spaced plates forming a groove therebetween which fits in a slot in the front wall of the container and is vertically displaceable through a plurality of positions. Due to the binding action of the plates on the edges of the slot when the container is turned over, the towels will not fall out of the container when it is turned over.
Claims2
A portable towel dispenser for interfolded towels each having a flap section, comprising:
- a hollow rectangular shaped container having a front wall containing a slot;
- and
- a slider being vertically displaceable in said slot of said front wall of said container and formed with a lifter portion for lifting the flap section of each of the interfolded towels as each of the interfolded towels is successively removed, and a retainer portion for retaining the interfolded towels in said container;
- wherein said slider further comprises two spaced parallel plates forming a groove therebetween and being attached to said retainer portion, said two parallel plates being vertically slidably displaceable in said slot of said front wall of said container and upon inversion of said container, said retainer portion is displaced by the weight of said towels causing a binding action of said parallel plates, whereby said towels are prevented from falling out of said container when said container is turned over.
