Abstract: A napkin holder including a base and a plurality of sides connected to the base and extending upwardly therefrom, wherein the sides are configured to induce rotation of a napkins in a stack of napkins dropped in a vertical orientation into said holder, the rotation proceeding a first direction on one side of the napkin stack and in an opposing direction on the other side of the napkin stack, such that the individual napkins are at least partially displaced from one another and presented in a fanned array, thereby facilitating selection and removal of individual napkins.

Abstract: A paper towel dispenser including a base; a center shaft vertically mounted on the base; a spool mount tube rotatably disposed around the center shaft; a biasing element engaging the spool mount tube and placing it at an angle in relation to the center shaft, and brake elements disposed between the center shaft and the spool mount tube. When a user pulls a free end of a paper towel roll outwardly ion a defined direction, the spool mount tube tilts and the brake elements disengage, allowing the spool mount tube to rotate and also allowing paper towel sheets to pay out. If the user pulls at an angle relative to the center shaft on the free end of the paper towel roll, the brake elements engage and prevent rotation of the spool mount tube, thus allowing the user to tear off and separate the dispensed paper towel sheets.
