Dispenser for opening a tape-like packaging

A dispenser (100) for opening a tape like packaging (1) comprising first and second films (10,11) releasably connected to each other and forming envelopes (E) respectively sealed around an object (0) and disposed sequentially with a predetermined pitch, wherein said dispenser (100) comprises:

• a space (3) for holding a container (2) of said tape like packaging (1);
• a separator (4) through which said tape like packaging (1) can be passed, for spreading apart and separating said first and second films (10,11) at an outlet (5) thereof when a pulling force is acting on said first and second films (10,11), thereby opening said envelopes (E) and releasing the objects (O) contained therein;
• and
• means (6,7) for winding up said separated first and second films (10,11) of the tape like packaging (1);
• wherein said separator (4) comprises a cover member (8) that is articulated to the dispenser (100) to be movable between a closed position and an open position such that it cooperates with a counter element (9) to define, in the closed position, said outlet (5) and a pinching zone (12) of said tape like packaging (1) at a position upstream of said outlet (5), and, in the open position, releases said tape like packaging (1), and
• wherein said cover member (8) has an elongated lever-like shape with plural pivot joints (14) connected to arms (16) defining a parallelogram-type moving mechanism for effecting the movement between the closed and the open positions.
