A dispensing apparatus is provided for dispensing a masking apron of the type including a sheet of apron material having a strip of adhesive tape overlapping along one side thereof. The apparatus generally includes a frame structure which supports a shaft having plural longitudinal sections mounted end to end along a vertical axis. Each longitudinal section is arranged to mount a corresponding roll of apron material thereon while remaining selectively separable from adjacent longitudinal sections to simplify the task of replacing a lowermost roll on the shaft. An elongate cutting blade is provided which extends at an angle offset from the shaft for providing a gradual cutting edge to cut the dispensed masking apron from the dispensing apparatus. A retainer member which is biased inwardly towards the shaft is provided for securing the roll of apron material between the shaft and the corresponding retainer member. The retainer member is inclined inwardly towards the shaft as it extends in a longitudinal direction of the shaft so as to automatically engage the roll of material between the retainer member and the shaft as the roll of material is loaded onto the shaft.
