  • Patent number: 4586631
    Abstract: A convenient dispensing package for a stack of adhesive-coated notepaper comprising a box for containing a stack of sheets. The box is formed with an opening in the cover into which flaps project from the edges of the opening and which flaps terminate in opposed edges which grasp the sheets as they are dispensed. A block of resilient compressible foam is placed in the box on the side of the stack opposite the opening to urge the sheets in the stack toward the dispensing opening such that they may be dispensed one at a time and not have a curl imparted to sheets in the lower part of the stack.

  • Patent number: 4562938
    Abstract: A dispenser for sheet material affords the clamping action against the sheet partially dispensed from the container to maintain it in a position where it can be grasped and dispensed. The dispenser comprises a cartridge for a stack of sheet material which stack is formed by releasably adhering successive sheets adjacent opposite edges to permit the dispensing of one sheet and the grasping of the next adjacent sheet at the opening to dispose an edge of such sheet to permit the subsequent dispensing of the next sheet. The exit opening enlarges under the dispensing force applied to each successive sheet but removal of the force allows the side walls of the cartridge to return from a pivoted position to the original position, closing the opening and grasping the sheet therebetween. The cartridge is disposed within a housing which contains the cartridge during the movement of the upper or top wall while the sheets are being dispensed.
