Abstract
An aperture in a wall of a dispenser for dispensing tearable, web-like material, is provided. The aperture has the form of a slot, the active edges of which converge toward at least one end of the slot. Material drawn from said dispenser through the aperture and pulled toward the end is wedged tight between the converging slot edges and can be torn off.
Claims14
In a dispenser apparatus for tearable web-like material, the improvement comprising:
- an aperture in a wall of the dispenser, said aperture having a plurality of zones wide enough for at least two fingers simultaneously to reach through said zones and into the dispenser to grasp the material and a plurality of slots, the edges of each of said slots converging in a sharp angle at an apex;
- and
- the material being a continuous, hollow, cylindrical roll drawable through said zones and toward said apex;
- whereby individual pieces of said material of a desirable length may be detached from said roll of material when pulled toward said apex.
In a dispenser apparatus for tearable web-like material, the improvement comprising:
- an aperture in a wall of the dispenser, said aperture having a single zone wide enough for at least two fingers simultaneously to reach through said zone and into the dispenser to grasp the material and a single slot, the edges of said slot converging in a sharp angle at an apex;
- and
- the material being a continuous, hollow, cylindrical roll drawable through said zone and toward said apex;
- whereby individual pieces of said material of a desirable length may be detached from said roll of material when pulled toward said apex.
In a dispenser apparatus for tearable web-like material, the improvement comprising:
- a perforated section in a wall of the dispenser apparatus, tearable along the perforated section to form an aperture, said aperture having a single zone wide enough for at least two fingers simultaneously to reach through said zone and into the dispenser to grasp the material and a single slot, the edges of said slot converging in a sharp angle at an apex;
- and
- the material being a continuous, hollow, cylindrical roll drawable through said zone and toward said apex;
- whereby individual pieces of said material of a desirable length may be detached from said roll of material when pulled toward said apex.
The disepenser of claim 13, or claim 8, further comprising:
- a first base member forming the back and side walls of the dispenser and enclosing said cylindrical roll, the forward edges of said side walls having a U-shaped configuration;
- and a second member forming the top, front and bottom walls of the dispenser, said second member configurationally corresponding to and engaging the U-shaped side walls.
