A device for controlling outward movement of a cutting blade of a drum in wiping material dispensing equipment is distinctive in that one of the flanges of the casing is designed with rings having a fixed position and formed during molding of an inner side of the flange facing the drum and being applied against a facing edge of the drum. The end flange of the drum on its lateral edge has a projecting profile forming a bar arranged for the fixing and pivoting of the blade holder and having a cutout to receive a locking member formed on a lever mounted to pivot with the blade holder. Each of a first central ring and the lever located on the flange and the drum, respectively has two shaped protuberances which interact at certain stages of operation. One of the other rings formed on the flange is designed to interact with the locking member formed on said lever at certain stages of operation when the drum rotates.
A dispensing apparatus comprising a casing with cover, said casing including arms supporting a reel of wiping material in an upper part, and including, in a lower part, a drum rotatably mounted between first and second flanges, said drum having a cutting blade fixed to a cutting blade holder which pivots relative to the drum during a cutting sequence, said reel bearing on said drum or being suspended above said first flange, said first flange having a first central ring, formed on an inner side of said first flange allowing for passage of a locking axis of said drum, said first ring having an external profile comprising a first fixed set of protuberances, a lever associated and pivoting with the cutting blade holder, and comprising a second set of protuberances, said external profile constitutes a guide path for said lever, interaction between said first and second sets of protuberances permits said outward pivotal movement of said cutting blade to perform said cutting sequence during rotation of said drum resulting from pulling of said wiping material by a user,
