• a housing having an interior and a discharge opening;
• a paper driving system located within the housing and including a roller rotatably supported for rotation about a central axis of the roller and a motor, the roller including a body defining a substantially cylindrical outer surface and an at least partially hollow interior defining a recess inside the roller, the motor at least partially located within the recess of the interior of the roller body and having an output shaft engaging the roller to rotate the roller when the motor is activated;
• and
• a pressure plate having an engaged position in which the pressure plate generates a pressure between the pressure plate and the outer surface of the roller for driving the adhesive note paper from the roll between the roller and the pressure plate;
• wherein the roll is rotatably and removably mounted within the interior of the housing, the roll of paper being oriented such that the side with the adhesive removably engages with the outer surface of the roller between the roller and the pressure plate, the adhesion of the paper to the roller facilitating translation of the paper out of housing.

• a housing having a removable upper section and a base, the upper section including a discharge opening, the housing having an interior;
• a drive system including a roller rotatably mounted with the interior of the housing and a motor attached to the base and engaged with the roller such that, when the motor is activated, it rotates the roller about a central axis of the roller;
• a roll support spaced apart from the roller and designed to support a roll of adhesive paper;
• a pressure member located within the housing interior and adapted to urge an adhesive paper located between the roller and the pressure member against the roller;
• a roll of adhesive note paper, the note paper having adhesive formed on a portion of one side, the roll being disposed on the roll support so as to be rotatably mounted within the interior of the housing, the roll of note paper being oriented such that the side of the note paper with the adhesive removably engages with an outer surface of the roller between the roller and the pressure member, the adhesion of the note paper to the roller facilitating translation of the paper out of housing, the adhesive paper roll being disposed on and supported by the roll support;
• and
• a guide located within the housing adjacent to the roller and the discharge opening for separating the note paper from the roller and guiding the note paper through the discharge opening.

A motorized dispenser for dispensing an adhesive note paper from a roll, the note paper having a low-tack pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side of the paper, the dispenser comprising:

• a housing defining an interior and a discharge opening, the housing including an upper cover and a base which form and enclosure, the upper cover being attached to the base so as to permit the cover to be moved relative to the base to allow access to the interior;
• a drive system including a roller rotatably mounted within the housing interior and a motor at least partially located within a recessed interior portion of the roller and engaged with the roller, the motor adapted to rotate the roller with respect to the housing about a central axis of the roller upon activation, the roller having an outer surface;
• a roll support mounted within the interior of the housing and spaced apart from the roller;
• a roll of adhesive note paper, the note paper having adhesive formed on at least a portion of one side, the roll being removably mounted on the roll support so as to be rotatable within the interior of the housing, the roll of note paper being oriented such that the side of the note paper with the adhesive removably engages with the outer surface of the roller, the adhesion of the note paper to the roller facilitating translation of the paper out of housing, wherein the location of the roll support in the housing is such that the roll is positioned in the enclosure between the upper cover and the base, wherein the roll can be replaced by moving the upper cover so as to permit access to the interior of the housing;
• and
• a contact surface located within the housing for applying pressure to a side of the note paper that is opposite from the side with the adhesive, the note paper extending between the roller and the contact surface.

A motorized dispenser for dispensing an adhesive note paper from a roll, the note paper having a low-tack pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side of the paper, the dispenser comprising:

• a housing defining an interior and a discharge opening;
• a drive system including a roller rotatably mounted within the housing interior and a motor at least partially located within a recessed interior portion of the roller and engaged with the roller, the motor adapted to rotate the roller with respect to the housing about a central axis of the roller upon activation, the roller having an outer surface;
• a roll support mounted within the interior of the housing and spaced apart from the roller;
• a roll of adhesive note paper, the note paper having adhesive formed on at least a portion of one side, the roll being removably mounted on the roll support so as to be rotatable within the interior of the housing, the roll of note paper being oriented such that the side of the note paper with the adhesive removably engages with the outer surface of the roller, the adhesion of the note paper to the roller facilitating translation of the paper out of housing;
• a contact surface located within the housing for applying pressure to a side of the note paper that is opposite from the side with the adhesive, the note paper extending between the roller and the contact surface;
• and
• a guide located adjacent to the roller and the discharge opening for separating the note paper from the roller and guiding the note paper through the discharge opening
• wherein the guide includes spaced apart arms with a recessed portion in between, the arms including distal edges adapted to separate the note paper from the roller, the guide arms being located positioned so as to be adjacent to the opposite ends of the roller.

A motorized dispenser for dispensing an adhesive note paper from a roll, the note paper having a low-tack pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side of the paper, the dispenser comprising:

• a housing defining an interior and a discharge opening, the housing adapted to enclose a roll of adhesive note paper, the housing including an upper housing section and a lower housing section, the upper housing section being movable relative to the lower housing section for permitting access to the interior of the housing for replacing the note paper when the upper housing section is moved relative to the lower housing section, and the housing including a lock for locking the upper housing section to the lower housing section;
• a drive system including a roller rotatably mounted within the housing interior and a motor located within and attached to the housing and engaged with the roller, the motor adapted to rotate the roller with respect to the housing about a central axis of the roller upon activation, the roller having an outer surface;
• a roll of adhesive note paper, the note paper having adhesive formed on a portion of one side, the roll being rotatably disposed within the interior of the housing and covered by the outer housing section when the outer housing section is disposed over the lower housing section, the roll of note paper being oriented such that the side of the note paper with the adhesive removably engages with the outer surface of the roller, the adhesion of the note paper to the roller facilitating translation of the paper out of housing;
• and
• a contact surface located within the housing for applying pressure to a side of the note paper that is opposite from the side with the adhesive, the note paper extending between the roller and the contact surface, the contact surface being pivotally mounted on the dispenser so that it can be pivoted relative to the roller;
• and
• a cutting edge for severing a piece of note paper after dispensing, the cutting edge being pivotally mounted on the dispenser so that it can be pivoted relative to the lower housing section, wherein the cutting edge can be pivoted out of engagement with the note paper for replacing the roll.
