Abstract
An adjustable holder including a base to support a stack of articles, such as folded napkins. Retaining members are connected to the sides of the base and define a compartment within which the articles are retained. Each retaining member includes a horizontal section which is disposed beneath the base and a vertical section. A locking member is mounted on the undersurface of the base and is engaged with the horizontal section of each retaining member. Each locking member is composed of a pair of diverging arms having aligned openings to receive the horizontal section of the retaining member. By flexing the diverging arms toward a generally parallel condition, the horizontal section of the retaining member can be freely moved toward and away from the base to accommodate articles of different sizes and by releasing the diverging arms, the horizontal section will be firmly gripped to maintain the retaining member in a given position.
