Abstract
A sheet dispenser including a housing, and a stack of dispensable sheets. A front wall of housing has edges that define a slot through which an end portion of the top sheet on the stack projects. That front wall normally projects above the top surface of the stack of sheets to position that end portion of the top sheet in a position projecting above an outer surface of the front wall where it can be easily grasped to withdraw the top sheet from the housing. At least a portion of the front wall is of flexible material so that it can be resiliently bent to lie along the top surface of the stack and thereby reduce the thickness of the dispenser when, for example, it is positioned on one of the pages of a book, magazine, personal organizer or the like that is closed.
