Abstract: A dispenser for a stack of partially adhesive coated sheets stacked with the adhesive coating on each successive sheet disposed along alternate opposite sides of the stack and releasbly adhering the sheets together. The dispenser has a cavity adapted to receive the stack defined by surfaces including opposed upwardly diverging end surfaces spaced apart to arc the stack positioned with its sides against the end surfaces and to position a top surface of the stack along arcuate upper inner friction surface portions of the dispenser with an end portion of the uppermost sheet in the stack projecting through an opening between those inner surface portions.

Abstract: A strain-relief device for use in a cable splice case for communications cables comprises a horizontal portion having a plurality of tangs projecting therefrom, a vertical portion projecting upwardly from said horizontal portion, and reinforcing means between said horizontal and vertical portions. The tangs on the horizontal portion grip the outer sheath of a communications cable, while the vertical edge abuts the interior end of a cable collar extending through an end plate. The device relieves strain in the cable by allowing it to pass through to the outer shell of the cable splice case.
