Abstract
A holder maintains flaccid, flat articles in substantially vertically no matter how many articles are removed from it. The holder's base defines a generally horizontal plane when the holder is in normal use. A pair of lateral walls are attached to the base and arranged in vertical planes generally normal to the horizontal plane. These walls, with predetermined height and spacing from each other a predetermined distance, form a region that receives and holds the stacked, flat, flaccid articles--such as napkins--vertically oriented substantially parallel to the lateral walls. Gravity-actuated force-generating members apply a generally horizontal force to the stack of articles within the region and urge them toward one of the lateral walls and away from the other. This application of force substantially reduces any drooping or collapse of the articles and keeps them erect no matter how many articles are placed within or removed from the holder.
