Dependent claims

A dispenser for a roll of rolled up absorbent paper web material, said dispenser, in a closed state, comprising:

an outer casing enclosing a roll compartment for housing a roll, and
a dispensing opening extending from the roll compartment to an outside of said outer casing along a dispensing axis of the dispenser,
said outer casing comprising an outer lid assuming a closed position when the dispenser is in said closed state;
a support member provided within said outer casing extending from a rear surface of the outer casing that is opposite the outer lid and arranged to extend into a center void of the roll of rolled up absorbent paper web to support the roll of paper web material within the outer casing;
said dispenser further comprising an inner lid, which, in said closed state of the dispenser, is arranged between said roll compartment and said outer lid, said inner lid being hinged to the dispenser so that it can pivot relative to the outer lid;
said inner lid defines a first threading opening through said inner lid along said dispensing axis, said first threading opening comprising a first dispensing opening portion;
and
said outer lid defines a second threading opening through said outer lid along said dispensing axis, said second threading opening comprising a second dispensing opening portion;
and, when the dispenser is in said closed state,
said first threading opening and said second threading opening are arranged in a partly overlapping relationship so as to form said dispensing opening by said first dispensing opening portion and said second dispensing opening portion;
wherein said first threading opening comprises a slit extending along at least one direction perpendicular to said dispensing axis towards said first dispensing opening portion, and said slit is open towards a peripheral edge of the inner lid in a direction perpendicular to the dispensing axis;
and
wherein the dispenser is configured for suspension such that the dispensing axis is generally horizontal.
