Abstract

A dispensing structure (102) for dispensing sheets, such as notes (106) or flags, that is adapted to be removably coupled with a support structure. A dispensing assembly comprising a stack (104) of sheets, such as notes or flags, and the dispensing structure. The dispensing structure comprises: a first clamping member (118) defining a first end (120) and a second end (122); a second clamping member (146) pivotally coupled to the first clamping member, the second clamping member defining a third end (148) and a fourth end (150), the second clamping member comprising: abase plate (152) defining an aperture (154); a retention element (182) laterally spaced apart from the base plate to define a space (184) therebetween, wherein a stack of a plurality of sheets are disposed within the space; and a plunger (200) slidable within the aperture of the base plate; and a biasing member (218) connected to the first clamping member proximate the first end thereof and to the second clamping member proximate the third end thereof, wherein the biasing member is adapted to bias the second end and the fourth end of the first and second clamping members, respectively, towards the support structure for coupling the dispensing structure with the support structure. The retention element (182) includes a first plate (186) and a second plate (188) longitudinally spaced apart from the first plate such that a slot (190) is defined therebetween, and wherein at least one of the sheets of the stack is adapted to pass through the slot.
