Abstract
A dispenser for holding and dispensing rolls of flexible material. A box or cabinet includes mounts for holding one or more rolls of flexible material. The front wall of the box has a blade fixedly mounted thereto and is recessed within a pressure plate contactable against a portion of the sheet to be removed and held on an anvil stop surface formed by roughed edges.
Claims9
A combination of:
- a first roll of flexible sheet with width;
- and
- a dispenser to hold said roll and dispense portions of said sheet, said dispenser including a housing with a slot extending thereacross and a cover movably mounted to said housing;
- a mount on said housing removably holding said roll;
- a pair of spaced apart edges having a length and mounted to said housing against which said sheet is positioned when unwound from said roll, said slot positioned between said edges and extending widthwise across said sheet positioned thereagainst;
- and,
- a pair of resilient strips that are discrete from said pair of spaced apart edges, said strips mounted to said housing and extending said length of said edges, said edges being positioned between said resilient strips to resiliently receive sheet positioned thereacross and therebetween;
- and,
- a blade mounted on said dispenser, said slot sized to receive said blade therein once said blade pierces said sheet with said blade movable toward said edges and strips trapping said sheet between said blade and said edges and said strips piercing said sheet at multiple locations simultaneously across said width allowing removal of portions therefrom.
- 2.The combination of claim 1 and further comprising:
- a spring biased plate positioned adjacent said blade and mounted with said blade to allow relative motion therebetween with said plate movable against said sheet positioned against said pair of edges and said pair of resilient strips holding said sheet fixedly thereon while said blade moves against said sheet placing said sheet in tension and piercing said sheet and moving into said slot;
- said edges having ends which extend outwardly of said strips.

The combination of claim 2 wherein:
- said blade includes a plurality of pointed ends extendable through said plate contacting and piercing in multiple locations across said sheet held by said plate, said edges and said strips.
A device for holding a roll having a flexible sheet with a width and for piercing said sheet to dispense a piece of sheet from the roll comprising:
- a holder for removably holding a roll having a flexible sheet wound thereon:
- a sheet support having a pair of edges and a pair of resilient strips separate from said edges with said edges and said strips extending lengthwise together and against which said sheet is positioned against once unrolled from said roll but still attached to said roll;
- and,
- a blade movable toward said sheet on said pair of edges and said pair of resilient strips to contact said sheet simultaneously across the width of said sheet to pierce it and dispense a piece therefrom, and wherein:
- said holder includes a first frame with said holder and said sheet support provided thereon, and a second frame swingably mounted to said first frame and said blade mounted on said second frame, said second frame movable with said blade toward said edges to allow said blade to pierce said sheet.
