Abstract
A dispenser expands paper web material by controlling the tracking of off-winding paper and holding it in place. Pulling the paper from one direction expands it in all directions simultaneously. The dispenser has a base, a mast, a cantilevered axle that holds a roll of cut paper web material for off-winding, and a roller assembly that controls the tracking of the off-wind paper web material and holds it in place. Advantageously, upon being pulled in one direction, the paper web material expands in all directions simultaneously in an efficient and reliable manner.
