Dispenser

A system for dispensing film wrap, the system comprising:

• a dispenser having a first connector portion and a second connector portion the first and second connector portions being spaced apart from each other along a common axis;
• and
• a roll of film wrap comprising a core having film wrap wound thereon, the roll of film wrap being configured to extend along said common axis between the first connector portion and the second connector portion, wherein at least one end of the wall of the core and/or the edge of the film wrap is profiled and interlockable with a complimentary interlocking member located at the remote end of the first or second connector portion so as to prevent lateral movement of the film wrap with respect to the first and second connector portions of the dispenser;
• characterized in that the system further comprises a braking mechanism located at the first connector portion, and a tension controller terminating an end of the second connector portion, the tension controller comprising an adjustable portion that is rotatable and in mechanical communication with a movable part located intermediate the tension controller and an end of the roll of film wrap, wherein rotation of the adjustable portion causes linear movement of the movable part along said common axis toward said first connector portion between a first configuration, permitting free rotation of the roll of film wrap, and a second configuration in which said roll of film wrap is prevented from rotating, through a plurality of intermediate positions between said first and second configurations in which said movable part is in contact with said end of said roll of film wrap, and applies pressure thereto which is transferred to the braking mechanism so as to apply tension to said roll of film wrap by squeezing the roll of film wrap between said first and second connector portions, and wherein the tension state of the roll of film wrap defined by the respective intermediate position of said movable part.
