Abstract
A dispensing cover for a container accommodating an article to be dispensed, such as a wet towel. The surface of the cover has an opening therein providing access to the article, and a hinged lid of deformable, elastic material swingable from an erect, open position to expose the opening to a position overlying and closing the opening, the lid having at its front end a locking element. Cooperating with the lid is a locking member coupled to the surface of the cover, the member having a locking edge which when the lid is closed, then engages the locking element to maintain the lid in a closed state. To open the lid, the locking member is depressed to deform the lid to an extent effecting disengagement of the locking element from the locking edge to permit the lid to spring up as a result of the elastic energy it gained when being deformed.
