Distributor for sheets of paper letter arranged in a stack and ministrador

摘要

A dispenser (60) for sheets (11) of note paper disposed in a stack (9) with each of the sheets (11) having a narrow band of adhesive coated on one surface along one edge by which the sheets (11) are adhered together and with the sheets (11) being stacked with the band of adhesive of adjacent sheets at alternate opposite edges of the stack (9). The dispenser (60) comprises a base (61) having a top surface with a generally planar support surface portion (63) adapted to support a lower surface of the stack (9). Also included is a body (64) having a bottom surface including spaced pressure surface portions (66) adapted to engage and be supported on an upper surface of the stack (11) adjacent the edges of the sheets along which the narrow bands of adhesive are coated with the spaced pressure surface portions (66) engaging the upper surface of the sheets (11) at predetermined distances from the edges of the sheets along which the narrow bands of adhesive are coated, and convex arcuate surface portions (67) between the pressure surface portions (66) and a top surface (65) defining a slot (68) through and extending centrally across the body (64). The convex arcuate surface portions (67) have radii with a dimension at least as large as the predetermined distances to restrict curling of sheets of paper pulled from the dispenser (68) through the slot (68), and the body (64) has sufficient weight to afford pulling a sheet (11) from the stack (9) through the slot (68) without substantially lifting the body (64) from the stack (9).
