Abstract
An apparatus and method for automatically wrapping at least one eating utensil in a napkin includes a receiving area for at least one utensil and at least one napkin, and a mechanism for automatically wrapping. The mechanism for automatically wrapping includes a frame, a flexible belt disposed in the frame, and a belt manipulation device. The belt has a first surface adapted for frictional contact with the napkin. At least a portion of the belt is movable to form a trough in which the napkin and utensil are manipulated and urged by frictional contact with the belt to fold and roll, automatically wrapping the utensil.
