Abstract

A Sheet Dispenser for dispensing of flexible and foldable sheets, such as paper towels and the like from a center fed roll thereof. The Sheet Dispenser of the present invention relies upon a member, such as a plate, which may be in the form of or part of a housing for holding the roll of sheets. The plate member is provided with a lower circular dispensing aperture for receiving a leading strip of the sheets from the center fed roll such that a user may grasp and pull outwardly on the sheets in order to achieve a dispensing of the same. The invention relies upon an opening, such as an elongate slot formed in the plate member and in communication with the dispensing aperture and which allows a leading portion of the sheets to be inserted through the slot and into the dispensing aperture. This construction overcomes the previous problems of feeding a leading strip of the successive sheets in the dispensing aperture. In a preferred embodiment, the dispensing aperture, in combination with the opening, form an elongate dispensing aperture and the size of the elongate dispensing aperture is adjustable in order to accommodate different thicknesses, sizes and physical characteristics of differing sheet materials which can be dispensed.
