Abstract
A coil stand for dispensing sheet aluminum trim or the like comprising a pair of supports carried by a base, one of which is adjustable longitudinally of the base to accommodate sheet rolls of differing widths. An arcuate array of rollers is carried by each support with the rollers of the supports being in opposed coaxial pairs. A pair of low friction spring biased keeper bars are carried by the respective supports to hold a roll of sheet stock against the rollers for free rotation. A cutting bar is cantilevered from the base for selectively clamping unrolled sheet stock against a support surface and provides a cutting edge for cooperation with a utility knife or the like for manually severing a desired amount of uncoiled sheet stock.
