A lid dispenser comprising: an axially extending tube defining an interior cavity configured to receive a stack of lids therein; a front element fixed to the tube, the front element having an opening therein through which lids are dispensed; a plurality of pager assemblies mounted to the front element to project frontwardly therefrom and to engage lids which pass through the front element opening, wherein each pager assembly comprises: a pager body having a post which extends frontwardly from the front element, and a flipper pivotally mounted to the pager body post, and having at least one wing which extends towards the front element, and which has an interior surface which is inclined to project radially inwardly as the interior surface extends frontwardly, the flipper wing being biased radially inwardly, but being displaceable by a pressure applied axially towards the interior cavity, wherein the pager assemblies are adjustably mounted to the front element for positioning in a desired radial position, characterized in that the pager body is having an inside wall having portions defining an engaging wall having an inclined surface directed radially inwardly as the inclined surface projects frontwardly; wherein when the assemblies are positioned such that the inclined surfaces of the pager body posts and the interior surfaces of the flippers project radially over the front element opening to engage lids which extend from the front element opening, and direct the lids towards engagement with the pager flippers. an axially extending tube defining an interior cavity configured to receive a stack of lids therein;
