The ceiling element has a number of channels formed to run in different directions, so that the dispenser can assume various orientations. The dispenser has a main body that has gravity feed, article-holding trays movably mounted inside so that the trays can be released without removal from the main body. The trays can be rearranged relative to the main body so that dispensing of articles can take place from the front, rear, or both sides of the main body.
