A dispenser for paying out sections of a web of material (39) from a dispenser roll (38), comprising

• a housing (42) which includes a roll holder for the dispenser roll (38) and an outlet opening (55),
• a stationary knife (12) projecting out of the outlet opening (55),
• an apportioning roller (1) which is supported in the housing (42) in the path of the web of material (39) from the dispenser roll (38) to the outlet opening (55) and is rotatable stepwise,
• a control lever (15) adapted to stop the apportioning roller (1) in a certain angular position so as to define a length to be cut off from the web of material (39), and
• a cover strip (10) which normally covers the knife (12), is movable away from the knife (12) by pulling at the web of material (39), and connected to the control lever (15) in such a way that the latter releases the apportioning roller (1) each time the web of material (39) is severed.
