Paper dispensing apparatus for rolls of paper

Abstract

A paper dispensing apparatus includes a base member having a stand and a pair of wheels and a support member attached to the base member. A plurality of shafts extend outward from the support member to respectively support different widths of paper rolls. A handle can be attached to the support member to assist manipulation of the apparatus by an operator. Cutting bars can extend either in a cantilevered fashion adjacent the respective paper rolls or be attached at either end of the respective shaft. A pressure bar can hold the paper roll and assist in applying masking tape from an adjacent masking roll support member. Extension tubes are provided for adjusting the length of a shaft to accommodate a paper roll greater in width than that of the shaft length. As an alternative embodiment, a hand-carried single shaft dispenser is also disclosed.
