Abstract
A manual dispenser for severing a segment of paper from a note paper roll comprised of a narrow elongate sheet of paper helically wound upon itself, with one surface of the sheet having one or more strips of low-tack pressure adhesive extending longitudinally thereof. In one embodiment, the manual dispenser includes a tear bar that that is manually engagable with one side of the roll.
Claims22
A note paper and manual dispenser combination for providing discrete segments of paper having a low-tack adhesive on one side thereof, said combination comprising:
- a roll of paper comprising an elongate sheet of paper of a relatively narrow width helically wound upon itself about an axis, with one surface of the sheet having a first strip of low-tack pressure sensitive adhesive extending longitudinally thereof in a narrow region of a width less than that of the sheet;
- a housing supporting the roll for rotation about the axis;
- a slot formed in the housing, said sheet extending through the slot and being positioned to enable the sheet to be manually grasped by a user and drawn from the dispenser through the slot in a length determined by the user;
- friction means extending outwardly from an exterior surface of the housing below the slot for engagement with a surface of the sheet to hold the sheet against inadvertent displacement from the slot, while permitting the sheet to be drawn outwardly through the slot;
- and
- a cutter carried by the housing for select engagement with the paper sheet drawn from the dispenser, to cut off discrete segments of the paper sheet, each discrete segment having a length determined by the user as said segment is cut off.
A note paper and manual dispenser combination for providing at least one discrete segment of paper having a low-tack adhesive on one side thereof, said combination comprising:
- at least one roll of paper comprising an elongated sheet of paper wound upon itself about an axis to form a roll, wherein said sheet includes at least one longitudinally disposed low-tack pressure sensitive adhesive area of a width less than that of the sheet formed on one side of the paper;
- a housing supporting said at least one roll for rotation about the axis;
- at least one slot formed in the housing wherefrom said at least one sheet is positioned to be manually dispensed by a user grasping the sheet and drawing the sheet outward through the slot;
- at least one contact member extending outwardly from an exterior surface of the housing below the slot, the contact member being at least partially in contact with said at least one sheet and positioned so as to not be in contact with the adhesive area;
- and
- at least one cutting device carried by the housing for permitting a user to cut the elongated sheet into a discrete segment in a length determined by the user.
