## Abstract

The problem addressed by the invention is that of ensuring simple handling in the case of a device for unrolling and cutting off a strip (2) on a strip roll (3), said device having a main body (4), wherein the main body (4) has: a top side (5), having a tear-off blade (9), a gap (12), a storage plate (13) for storing the strip (2), and a roller (22); two lateral guiding surfaces (6, 7); and an underside (8). This problem is solved in that the storage plate (13) can be lateral pivoted or the roller (22) arranged after the gap (12) as viewed against the unrolling direction (11) can be inserted and locked in order to store the strip (2), wherein the storage plate (13) or the roller (22) forms the gap (12) in the end position thereof together with a rear edge (14) of the top side (5).

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for unrolling and cutting a strip on a strip roll, the device comprising:
a base member comprising a topside provided with a rear edge, a first lateral guide surface and a second lateral guide surface attached opposite each other to opposed sides of the topside and extending downwardly away from the topside, and a bottom side comprised of an elastic clamping bracket connected to an end of the first lateral guide surface located opposite the topside;
a tear-off blade arranged on the topside;
a storage plate for storing a free end of the strip by adhering an adhesive surface of the free end to the storage plate;
wherein the storage plate is positioned in an end position on the base member such that a slot is formed between the rear edge of the topside and the storage plate for passing the strip through from below the topside atop of the topside;
wherein the storage plate is laterally pivotable away from the rear edge of the topside;
wherein the elastic clamping bracket comprises a direction of length and extends in the direction of length from the first lateral guide surface toward the second lateral guide surface, wherein between an end of the elastic clamping bracket facing the second lateral guide surface and the second lateral guide surface a through opening is provided.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the storage plate in the end position is configured to lock with one of the two lateral guide surfaces.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the elastic clamping bracket is configured to contact an inner side of the strip roll when the strip roll is inserted into the device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The device according to claim 3, wherein the clamping bracket comprises a first bending area connected to the end of the first lateral guide surface, a straight section comprising a first end connected to the first bending area, and a second bending area connected to a second end of the straight section and curved opposite to the first bending area so that the clamping bracket is S-shaped.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The device according to claim 3, wherein the clamping bracket comprises a constriction in the direction of length.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the strip is insertable into the slot from an outer circumference of the strip roll.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein pulling the strip in a radial direction relative to the strip roll, when the strip roll is inserted in the device, effects a forward movement of the base member in an unrolling direction of the strip from the strip roll.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the storage plate is disposed at the topside, wherein the slot is located between the rear edge of the topside and a front edge of the storage plate facing the rear edge.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the storage plate is in one plane with the topside in the end position of the storage plate.
